New American Restaurants near Camp Springs, MD

“The Cori Midden Kitchen is a quintessential American restaurant that offers an intimate and cozy dining experience akin to a homey dining room. The exceptional customer service, coupled with food cooked from scratch, made our brunch visit with a large party quite memorable. Our waiter, Cathy, provided attentive service, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. We indulged in a variety of brunch items, with favorites including the catfish nuggets and cornbread, alongside lamb chops(small lamb chops), deviled eggs, and fried tomatoes. For our entrees, the shrimp omelette, French toast, chicken and waffles, and catfish and grits were all exquisite. Despite a few minor mishaps, the overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this establishment for its delicious food. It was a nice touch when the chef personally greeted our table, adding to the warmth of the experience. Advisable to book your reservation in advance, I look forward to returning in the future.“

“Delicious! Very busy during workday lunch, but staff was very kind despite it being hectic.Chill and nice atmosphere.Gender neutral restrooms.Ordered the brussel sprouts with egg, such a filling dish! The tikka sauce took it to the next level.Drink is the Hawaiian Punch, very tasty and non-alcoholic.Ordered a side of Naan, it was topped with garlic and very well cooked.I can see why this is on the 100 top DC restaurants list!“

“Exceptional dinner in a fabulous setting! Visiting from Chicago and we're completely impressed. We are foodie people and used to top-notch restaurants and this was perfection! Staff was very friendly yet professional. We ordered the family style menu and it was worth the price.“

“Had dinner before the Oh He Dead concert on Saturday December 17, 2022. We arrived a little before our seating and immediately were greeted and taken to our spots. Ian was outstanding! He was attentive, descriptive and helped create a good experience. Dan, our bartender, was magnificent. He created delectable cocktails and we also chatted along the way (we had bar seats which I highly recommend). This was very reasonably priced, we left very filled and happy. I want to give the highest possible compliments to Ian and Dan. The entire experience was perfect, largely because of the great food, but they took the experience well beyond a 1 star evening!“

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff, in a unique atmosphere. Residents has a chill vibe and a Menu that changes with the seasons. Love the small bites. Highly recommend the baby artichokes on the Summer menu! Visited in Summer and Fall of 2022… Residents never disappoints! Highly recommend.“

“Wife and I live in DC. We go 4 or 5 times per year. Best dinning experience in DC. Don’t even read the menu. Let Bonnie great server, just bring you food and wine pairings. Blow you away. We usually sit at the upstairs bar. Chefs table was great as well. The wine flight is worth every penny. Bring your Amex!“

“Lovely spot in the Dupont Circle Hotel. I don't usually choose hotel restaurants but this was a perfect spot for a quiet lunch with a friend. Our server, Miguel, was fantastic - very helpful, thoughtful, and just the right amount of time spent at our table. The GM (don't have his name) was also very nice - funny and attentive from start to finish. The food was very good, I had a salad with salmon on it, and my friend had the crispy salmon lunch. Highly recommend if you need a classy, quiet spot in downtown DC.“

“Came for dinner with some of my foodie friends who were in town. We got a bunch of appetizers to share. The Greek wings and the miso salad was out favorite!!The wings were crispy, hot and the dip was a great addition. The salad was super fresh and the crispy wontons on top was perfect.The queso taquitos and garlic olives were really good too. The ceviche was decent and the pork belly was really good. Everything was good and the items came out pretty quickly. We got there around 6:45 and it began to fill up after that.“

“Amazing service, food, presentation, libations, decor, comfort, on and on. From 1st picture my welcome cocktail all the way to final cocktail and wine in between 2nd picture to 1st course caviar bigger purse with no silverware 3rd picture to 2nd to last course truffle ice cream with all the toppings, including caviar My words don’t do this dining event Justice. Oh, and when I got back to the hotel, I found an incredible burger in a box that I carried back to the hotel without opening. That was breakfast! Will be back.“

“5 out of 5 stars, this three story restaurant is interestingly unnoticeable but I’m glad I was invited here to experience it. It sits next to an open air lot which is definitely needed on H St. The food was amazing, I had the sea bass, plantains, salad, and cassava fries (can’t remember what they were called) and everything was so good. The staff was efficient and friendly and the chef came out to speak with us and it amazing to see that he’s native DC and young he is. I definitely recommend this place for dinner. I wish I paused to take pictures but maybe next time.“

“I had the fried fish sandwich on this visit, and it was amazing! My favorite is the shrimp and grits. It's the best I've had in a very long time. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is very nice. Don't just take my word for it, stop by and check it out for yourself.“

“The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the drinks were amazing. We did the 3 course dinning option and it was worth every penny. I will def be back to try more food options and enjoy the balcony when the weather is warmer. The space is very mature and sexy.“

“From perfect candle lit lighting, pleasant staff, exceptional mixologists, and unique plate settings.. wow! Love the food, love the orange wine selection. Brussel sprouts plus the sauce, oh my god. Need that recipe, chef! Enjoy the pic. Cannot wait to come back to try the chicken.“

“I had my birthday breakfast at The Greenhouse in DC. I ordered the Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes. ? These were fluffy, not too sweet, not too 'chocolately', and the banana on the top was glazed with crystalized sugar ..mmm.. Just right for me. The staff was friendly, too. Overall a pleasant experience. ??Kid-friendliness: I saw a few tables with families/grandparents and children sitting together.“

“Loved dining at Nina May’s for Easter Brunch! Made the reservation quite last minute but we were still able to snag a table for two at one of D.C’s best restaurants! We were also late on our res. due to easter traffic and finding parking around the place but the host was very accommodating and nice. We got the chef’s choice and everything was amazing! Super fresh and the flavors all worked really well together. I also got the cucumber mocktail which was really good! Our server was attentive and really went the extra mile to fix a small mishap (we got to try the amazing carrot cake, on the house!!! it was splendid!!!!). Will definitely be back since they have a seasonal menuParking: Parking is quite limited as most of the streets surrounding this restaurant are restricted/limited to zone/permit holders which seems to be a theme in D.C. Be aware and plan to arrive 15-20 minutes earlier so you have time to look without getting late. Though a host did mention there is a grocery store nearby that you could park at though!“

“Shilling is probably the most underrated restaurant in DC.Every single item I’ve ever gotten from them has been phenomenal, I’ve yet to have a bad dish.The service feels like you’re part of the family there, where you constantly have a team checking in on you.I cannot recommend this place enough, it beats out several Michelin star restaurants in DC in terms of food and quality, not to mention their cocktails are some of the best in the area.“

“It was our first time trying Oak in this location and overall it was good. I always have an issue with places that charge for bread, but we gave it a whirl and it was not worth the money, it was dry and unimpressive as was the crudo appetizer, which also lacked flavor but was fresh. The entree part of the meal was the shining moment with a NY strip steak cooked to perfection and accompanied by mashed potato puree and roasted carrots that were all superb. Great hand-crafted cocktails and wine also were a hit!!“

“I really enjoyed my experiences at the The Walrus. They have fresh shucked oysters, the Wally's are the house oyster and they were very good. I think I tried every fresh oyster and there were some excellent options that I thoroughly enjoyed. I also had the lobster roll togo and it was loaded with lobsta. They crab cakes were ok, but they are not using fresh local crab meat. The service was fantastic, it's what had me return, a great experience! The great fresh oysters were also a draw for me.“

“My husband made a reservation for my birthday dinner and the food, service and atmosphere was exceptional. Our server Francisco was top notched and very professional in detailing the menu and offering suggestions on drinks and food. A must go to when in DC, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Our party went there this evening to celebrate a couple of birthdays, and we were absolutely blown away by the fantastic service we received! Ron and Casey went so far above and beyond to make sure our experience was amazing! The food was superb, the portions were big, and the drinks were perfect! Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Eubin took excellent care of my husband and I on our visit to barmini. It was our first visit (of many more to come) and every single cocktail was mind blowing. I had originally booked a flight, only to have to change it to a la carte in order to make dinner reservations. I wish we had cancelled dinner and stayed at barmini! I cannot find enough positive words to describe this experience. Worth every single cent and more. A must visit! We will be back! (And sit at the bar. The show of every cocktail being prepared truly adds to the experience!) the cake for my birthday was a spectacular gesture as well!“

“Went for dinner after visiting Smithsonians. Had an excellent meal with family. Some had breakfast, and others had burgers. Everyone said their selected meals were excellent.Pics are from baseball game at nationals Park, which was across the diner. A game was being played.“

“Absolutely delicious cocktails and the seasonal drinks were so fun to try out! The tater tots were a tasty snack and would definitely recommend. What impressed me most was the customer service from the time we entered til we left - had a small hiccup with our reservation and the staff did everything they could to go above and beyond to make it right and I really appreciated their efforts. We had such a great time and can't wait to be back!“

“My husband and I visit last week while we were in DC for our two year anniversary. We decided to celebrate our actual wedding date by going to The Dabney.Our first michelin star restaurant experience set the bar high. From the start, the team was quick to answer our questions and was open to having us bring in a stroller since we had a newborn with us.Our server Ryan was absolutely exceptional and phenomenal. He did all he could to make the night special for us. All of the staff shared personal stories and tidbits of information throughout the night.Everything was meticulously crafted, plated, and presented to us with pride, joy, and love. The tiniest details made the largest impact on creating an overall completeness to each dish.It was breathtaking, palate pleasing, borderline overfilling, and will be a lasting memory and true highlight of our trip.If you are debating visiting this location, do it. Book that reservation. Try something new. Create a memory. And spread the word. A place like this deserves to be experienced.“

“Came here for dinner with my wife. It was better than I expected. I like the variety of cuisine options. We ate the Filipino fried chicken. It was delicious, three meaty pieces. However, you may still be hungry, so may want some sides. The belgian fries with garlic aioli and truffle were nice and crispy. My wife had the Madam VP heritage bowl. That was great too. Definitely recommend and want to come back.“

“My wife and I went here for a first date anniversary recently, and it was fantastic! We've been to several Michelin star restaurants around the world, and this was one of the best. The food was just amazing course after another amazing course. The level of innovation and flavor was just off the charts. The service was also impeccable, with super friendly chefs and staff. The interactive experience is something truly memorable. Special shout-out to Sean, who was super helpful to me when I was trying to figure out which cocktails to order!“

“Cute spot located very close to union station. Came in for dinner on a week night and the place was decently busy. The server was kind and attentive. For food, I had the lamb shawarma which was very tasty and actually the perfect amount of food, although the pita bread that came with was pretty dry. My friend got the lamb sliders which also looked pretty good!“

“Had dinner on a Saturday night - party of 4. A plus service and food. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable. Very helpful in wine selections within certain price points (and the recommendations were fantastic). But the FOOD!!! there was a special lobster appetizer that was phenomenal. For the regular menu the little gem salad was large and refreshing. I had the root vegetable soup and it was also great. For mains we had the tuna, pasta and steak. There wasn't a bad choice in the bunch. Highly recommend this for an elegant night out. All in we were at 150 per person (and that was with plenty of wine). The price was a bargain for the experience. GO!!!“

“My server was not very attentive as he should have been. Every time I needed a new drink (like 3 times) I had to flag him down. The other service was great but my main server should have been checking on the table to make sure we had what we needed.“

“Amazing service and a fun and friendly crowd and staff. Every cocktail was perfect, the charred octopus was incredible, and it was a good time all aroundVegetarian options: For a place that does not advertise themselves as vegetarian friendly, they are very vegetarian friendly! They will remove or replace ingredients to suit your needs whenever possible. My cousin and I went there and without any prompting they asked if they could help us out by making any of the dishes vegetarian or vegan.Dietary restrictions: They will go out of their way to make anything allergy free for you if possible.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, however I don't think I would have brought my kids in there until they were at least eight or 10 years old, I would say that if you're child is extremely well behaved in restaurants and public places it is suitable, otherwise you may want to find somewhere else, it is not the kind of place where kids can run around and play tag while Mom and Dad finish their mealWheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator, and a wheelchair accessible washroom , however the bar is fairly packed and maybe a little bit difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.One Patron in a wheelchair came in when I was there, they were very diligent about helping him make it to his table, however he did have to be escorted by one of the staff to have some people at tables get up and move their chairs so he could get to his table which was at the back.“

“We had 10:30 brunch reservation. The meal consists of several amazing courses. Delicious and beautiful presentations. Vegan and non-vegan members of my party enjoyed it very much. I liked how the servers paused between courses so that we didn't feel rushed. They gave us a menu in case we wanted to refer to what was being served. The servers were professional: attentive without hovering.“

“Had the opportunity to experience this dining venue for a Sunday brunch,recommended by family member. The brunch menu at first was a little confusing as to what our quantity of options we were entitled to, once that was clarified enjoyed a delightful meal of fried chicken & waffles -brussel sprouts-deviled eggs -berry mixed topping pancakes -crab cakes and a mimosa. The only thing that wasn’t too pleasant was the waiter assigned to us -he didn’t seem very customer friendly-I don’t even think he introduced himself. However his slack was taken up by a wonderful young lady by the name of Allie -very friendly -took the time to explain the menu -when an ordering mistake had been made -corrected it and provided a alternative, she made the experience so much better -excellent customer service“

“An absolute gem! Everyone was lovely, the cocktails AND mocktails were delicious, and the small plates were to die for! Can't wait to go back and dig into their wine list. Don't leave without the trying the charred dates or the fried goat cheese, they're knockouts!!Vegetarian options: Some veg small plates, would love to see more veg entrees on the menu“

“Definitely juicy burger, the meat inside grilled to perfection and the chips soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside.Best burger I've eaten in the US so far.Very friendly and fast service and excellent value for money.The place is also really nice.Compliments!“

“I love this neighborhood gem or a bar/restaurant. Great vibes and elevated food. My only suggestion is to take the Triple H sandwich off the menu. There's no honey flavoring and for a person that loves Nashville Hot Chicken this was incredibly hot to the point of being nauseating. Unless there's some insane hot chicken eating contest this is not for regular human consumption.“

“5 stars in all regards. The food was presented like artwork. The various flavors and foods used in a dish were masterfully done. The drinkology on display was topnotch.Dietary restrictions: They are able to adjust dishes to a person's allergy restrictions.“

“Excellent. Go ahead and ask the bar manager about the incredibly curated bar and wine selection - much of it local. Excellent bites, esp the ceviche. Make this place your local ?Kid-friendliness: Have supported neighborhood schools including Ludlow. Explicitly welcoming parents and kiddos to come right after school.“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“Everything at Beuchert's is amazing. Tonight we had the tempura butternut squash, lamb belly, roasted scallops, and desserts. waitress was great and helped with recommending drinks. super solid as always, so glad Beuchert's is back!“

“I tried to make a reservation, but there were none available for downstairs so I got on what I thought was a waitlist like a normal restaurant. When I arrived I was told that there is no waitlist and they are full. I guess the waitlist is to get a reservation if people cancel, but otherwise they are full until close. This was not clear on the website.Came on a Saturday night around 8 pm. Took the metro so I'm unsure of parking, though it seemed to be expensive in the area. This place is a very small. It has two levels. The live music plays downstairs. Downstairs there is a small bar with about 8 seats and about 8 tables total. I did not go upstairs as we wanted to be near the music.We were told to stand by the bar and wait until a spot opened up. I didn't like this because it was cramped and I felt like a vulture, but we didn't want to call it quits just yet so we decided to try it. We waited 17 minutes. This somehow felt quick and like an eternity. It passed because we were still able to enjoy the music while we waited, but I was anxious trying to get us a seat because we did not just want drinks, but food as well. I was able to snag a seat for myself first and then a second for my partner.Drinks ordered: Athenas Kiss *phenomenal!*, an old fashioned, and local DC beer. (FYI: They don't have a great scotch selection.)Food ordered: wings, caprese, and herb pan seared salmonDessert ordered: noneThe food was good. I actually enjoyed the wings the most. We got a mixture of the spicy and sweet sauces at the bartenders recommendation. They were cooked well and the sauce combo was excellent. The caprese and salmon were yummy, but nothing phenomenal.The bands playing was great. It was fun to listen to. There was a mixture of keys, drums, trumpet, bass, sax. The time passed and we enjoyed ourselves. We stayed until the band's set was over. Again, I felt bad that people were waiting for seats (I don't like to be rude or take up too much space) but I had to remind myself that I was a paying a customer (because after tips to both the bartender and band we spent over $200) and it was okay for me not to feel bad.That being said, this place was definitely not cheap. It's not an every day, week, or month thing to drop $200 on dinner for one night, but in this case, it was a special treat that was worth it. It ended up being a romantic date night for my partner and I to feel connected.Obviously they cannot change the size of the restaurant but after reading the reviews from the past year, I believe that the establishment does read and try to make improvements where possible.Overall impression: a cozy, dark, exposed brick place. Because of this, it is loud and crowded. Come for a relaxed time to enjoy libations during the music and chit chat in between music as it is hard to carry on a conversation.If you go in with the right expectations and overview of the place, I believe its a great time. I would recommend the experience.Vegetarian options: A few vegan pasta dishes and a few vegetarian dishes like bruschetta, caprese, beyond beef veggie burger, and a veggie sandwich.Kid-friendliness: Not a place to bring kids.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility“

“My first time here. It's been a while since I had been out so for water me and my friends came here. The ambiance is cute. Very barrel like place. Especially if you are a whiskey drinker. The bottomless mimosas were a hit. Our waiter Mason was awesome. He assisted us with our many dietary restrictions lol. The manager even came over and chatted with us. I would definitely come back. Oh and we finished brunch off with a whiskey flight!!!! Yes a good time was had by ALL......“

“The service was what you would expect, , for an upscale restaurant - wonderful. The food was very good. And, I would go back. I just found it expensive. I would recommend a visit but know that you're paying a higher price for better quality food and service.“

“A couple of girlfriends and I finally went to this woman owned restaurant that has been celebrated for years! And now I can see why! We had such a wonderful time, and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious, and portions were very generous given that it happened to be restaurant week. I would write more details, but those have faded in my memory. As Maya? Angelou said, to paraphrase her, you may not remember what someone said or did but you will always remember how someone made you feel. And after a find me at RIS, I absolutely agree.“

“Yes! I love the concept. I love how it’s a hand made patty and the burger was cooked perfectly. In addition, you have an option to add items to your burger if you do the build your burger option. You can also choose their preselected choices which look really good. I chose to add sautéed onions, bacon, and Italian sausage. I will say although the Italian sausage was good, I wouldn’t add it again; it didn’t hurt the burger overall. You choose your seasoning (I chose basic), sauce (house bbq), lettuce and tomato. I also ordered the seasoned fries (garlic parmesan). I was curious so I asked for the spicy ranch. It was pretty good.“

“My husband took me there to celebrate my birthday and I must say we had a wonderful time. The ambiance, service, the food was all A1 and we highly recommend this restaurant for a fine dining experience. Our server Rodrigo went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special.“

“ChurchKey offers an extensive selection of craft beers, making it a haven for beer enthusiasts. The ambiance is trendy yet relaxed, with dim lighting and a comfortable atmosphere perfect for socializing. The menu features a diverse range of beer styles from local breweries and around the world, ensuring there's something for every palate. The knowledgeable staff are eager to guide patrons through the beer selection, offering recommendations based on taste preferences. Overall, ChurchKey provides a memorable experience for beer lovers seeking quality brews in a lively setting.“

“It was our first out of 2 nights in DC and I wanted to have high-quality, memorable, delicious food and that's what The Duck & the Peach provided! The ambiance felt artsy and people were dressed casually but the food was fancy and expensive. My partner and I got the duck feast and everything was tasty, particularly the duck. We are duck lovers who eat duck a lot especially from Chinese restaurants and this duck was so tender and the skin was crispy the way I like it. We also had the mint ice cream bar for dessert which was super unique, almost savory and wrapped in an edible covering but I couldn't place what the covering was made out of (maybe white chocolate)? It was an expensive meal but we also took home left overs and we would come here again!“

“Everything about this diner is absolutely out-standing! Came in for my birthday brunch, just my Bestfriend and I. Had the “SHRIMP AND GRITS” and listen… the hands down most amazing flavors. Just delicious! She had the steak frites and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend“

“Greeted warmly and treated like a VIP all evening. Chose the three course menu-all wonderful options. Had Crispy sun chokes appetizer, chestnut gnocchi with field mushrooms for my entree and the sticky bun dessert. Savored each excellent bite. Paired a rich Cabernet with the meal. What a perfect meal“

“I want to start by saying, this is a very clean establishment. Staff is very friendly and they show you, your food before you leave. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. You can request, to have your food, lightly seasoned or a lot of seasoning. I recommend the Jumbo shrimp!!! Not like most carry-outs, it’s cooked fresh, not frozen, and absolutely delicious. The shrimp fried rice is loaded with shrimp!! I highly recommend, This is Seafood!!! You won’t be disappointed!! I will be visiting again, I want to try the seafood boil.“
