The appetizers were done well. For the entree, some of the seafood was overcooked. The steak was cooked properly but the quality of beef did not align with the price point. We asked for refills of the Napa Cab and the server poured Charles Shaw, very disturbing since they tried to charge $15 per glass. The server removed the wine from the tab upon request. Overall everything was nice but not provide the experience one would expect for the price point.

Let me just say I was extremely skeptical when I first walked in because it was a total ghost town. No music and an empty dining room… I had no idea what was going on.However, once seated our server was extremely friendly and the food was good. He even turned the music on for us and boom! No more awkwardness.You really can’t beat their bottomless brunch deal on Groupon. Gets you drunk. Would recommend.

Food was good, but not as good as it was before the pandemic. Remember when there used to be seafood display right by the kitchen entrance. Their dessert now is slim picking. The 3-course brunch seems to be their mainstay and the quality is average at best.Lucas our waiter was very attentive and maneuvered from table to table effortlessly. He was very efficient but there moments that felt like he was putting on a show with the banging of platters. Mimosa was a quick mix and they didn't seem to be putting out strong brew here. Galaktoboureko dessert looked and tasted like it was custard egg roll. Bleh.

Kellari's happy hour is the best deal in town hands-down eight dollar martinis rail drinks wines super tasty small plates in a very civilized environment. This is not a dive. This is a beautiful restaurant right on K St. right next to Connecticut Avenue at the cross hairs of the business District, I am literally surprised, why there's not more people to this this is not a dive. This is a beautiful place. Highly recommended for happy hour - number one in town right now. Oh and it is 4-9 pm!!

A hidden gem.The food was excellent! flavorful, simple and fresh. The portions were generous, especially the calamari and seafood linguine. Lamb chops were tender and juicy!The ambiance was warm. Our waitress was knowledgeable, recommended a couple dishes and sweet!We will definitely be returning to try more dishes on the menu!

Food didn't taste particularly good given the price. We got the dinner course, which felt way too overpriced once we tried the food. The food was fine because it tasted like something I could whip up in a time crunch. For the main course, we had the lamb rack and sea bass. Lamb rack was half fat, and the potatoes under it were undercooked and slightly hard. The sea bass seasonal fish was just dry and lacked flavor except for a little drizzle of sauce on it. Pretty disappointing.I will say their greek yogurt dessert was really delicious, so probably the only reason why I'm not giving 1 star and our server was kind.

We used the Groupon for the prix fix dinner and it was excellent. We were told that we could substitute a drink for the dessert and we each got a lovely glass of Sauvignon Blanc. We had grilled calamari and the carrot ginger soup. Both were very good. We shared the lamb chops and spicy shrimp Linguini . The shrimp were large and really good. The sauce and pasta also was excellent. The lamb chops were delicate and very good. I highly recommend this. Groupon .

Went here for brunch with a friend around 12pm on a Sunday. There were about 5 tables already sitting when I arrived and most of the restaurant was full by the end of my meal.The server was great, she explained everything including the service, brunch menu and specials. The Groupon is what attracted my friend and I to this restaurant and it was more than worth it. We got 3 courses for $24 (not including tax and gratuity) and all the food was great. I got the lentil soup to start which wasn’t my taste, I prefer more heat in my soups. My friend got the calamari to start which she loved! We got the chicken souvlaki and the tomato basil pasta with shrimp which were both delicious. The desert was also great; we got the baklava and citrus moose.My friend and I really took our time and our server kept the mimosas coming as requested. I would definitely return!Parking: Free street parking on Sunday

The food was delicious and despite being slow during the weekend due to being near a business center, the atmosphere was live and the service was awesome. The seafood was delicious and the vegetables grilled perfectly.

We went for the bottomless mimosa brunch, and my goodness, I doubt there's a bad option on the menu! We both loved our appetizers. For our main entree, my partner loved the salmon eggs benedict and I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb salad, recommended by our amazing waitress Nicole! Afterwards, we enjoyed a citrus tart and a chocolate Mousse. I would love to go back!

I know I should have checked before making reservation and was not aware they were only serving a fixed price four course meal. My fish was almost raw and my wife's steak was over cooked and very chewy. The chef at of the meal was over priced at 100.00 per meal and I was not impressed. Last time I visited a couple of years ago it was much better food and while a little high priced, was worth the price. This year was not a pleasant experience.
We had a reservation and still had to wait to be seated. My seafood linguine was missing seafood items listed on the menu. The desert wasn't great. We still had a good time though. The food tasted good, I LOVED the octopus. My favorite octopus in the city.
