“Hands down one of the best dining experiences ever. Absolutely loved everything, and there was a lot! All the food here is halal. The ginger and hibiscus juices are best enjoyed when alternating sips..so even if you are on your own, order both! I have forgotten the names of most of the things we ordered, but maybe you can figure it out from the pictures. The lamb was amazing, and i don't even like lamb! The special jollof rice was on point, and the chicken stuff was pretty decent. The carrot (i think) and blueberry cakes were also to die for! Service was also amazing, albeit a little slow.. but that perception might be driven by the fact that we had to rush to some place immediately after...Don't forget to check out the phone booth outside. The birds be calling...Overall a very pleasant and memorable experience - Totally coming back for more!Quick edit: turns out i got distracted by the food when it arrived and ended up totally forgetting about taking pictures... so just ask what's good from the server - they might say everything though..and they might be totally right.“
“The modern creativity expressed here is certainly deserving of the Michelin star they have. We had 8 different dishes/tastes plus an amuse bouche and all were impressive. Rania also has an excellent wine list and a group of house conceived cocktails that are unique. Service was knowledgeable and timely throughout. Can't wait to return!“
“I have not only travelled to Thailand, but studied Thai cuisine and also attended cooking classes. This place is the REAL DEAL!!!! Not your run of the mill pad thai place. More northern cuisine if you are familiar with it, think Chang Mai. Everything is out of this world, great bar and drinks, friendly and warm staff that attends to your every need.“
“Visited this place in DC last weekend with family and it's the best! The pre-dinner bar experience was delightful with excellent martinis. The waiter made it special by asking about our celebration. With a party of seven, we tried different entree's and everyone was impressed with the quality and portions size. The waiter was helpful with menu suggestions. We felt right at home 10/10, definitely coming back !“
“Everything here was amazing. Starting with the service, Dean our server was knowledgeable, welcoming and professional. Every cocktail I had was refreshing. The lamb chops were like no other before and I won’t eat lamb chops anywhere else, the salmon was seasoned perfectly…all the desserts were to die for. Every staff member was attentive from the host, bartender, server and manager I could not have asked for a better place for a quick date night.“
“Oyster Oyster offers a delightful culinary journey celebrating sustainability and creativity. The menu, focusing on plant-based cuisine, presents a diverse array of dishes showcasing seasonal ingredients. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. The service is attentive and knowledgeable.“
“This is a gem of a spot in Cleveland Park! I discovered it one day and now I’m a regular and have started bringing my friends. Who all have said they wanna come back. The restaurant is small, but intimate and the food is amazing. The Scallops are a must try. Every time I’ve gone and sat at the bar and have always had an amazing experience. Kyle & Victor are so knowledgeable on their wines and just make the experience 10x better. The playful pairings on the menu are also another highlight and a lot of fun. Definitely a spot worth checking out!“
“Checked out San Lorenzo for the first time the other night - I have been in DC for years, but just recently moved to the Shaw neighborhood and had heard good things about this spot. Christina the GM was super friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcome and the bartender I spoke to, Efron, gave some great menu recommendations. The Seafood Linguine was fantastic! Will absolutely be back.“
“Second time to Ceibo and it once again did not disappoint. Start first with the excellent, interesting, and perfectly made craft cocktails. Next move on to the food, everything is exceptional and intriguing. It's hard not to order the entire menu. You can't quite place the food concept; part Latin flavors, part Italian, part Asian, but how this team has put it together just works. Each dish is beautifully plated and with appropriate portions for a filling meal. Everyone reported their dishes to be both delicious and unexpected. One of the most exciting food experiences in DC right now. Last, the restaurant itself is minimalist, but reminded me of a hip restaurant in Mexico City. The tables are nicely spaced apart so you don't feel you are eating with your neighbors and the noise level is lively but not loud, so you can have a relaxed conversation with your dinner mates. The dining space is split between an upper level and a lover level. The bar is on the lower level, so feels a bit more lively than the upper level. All around a wonderful experience and a fantastic addition to the AdMo/DC dining scene.“
“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“
“I got the private room with my friends, and really enjoyed the brunch here. The three-egg omelet was delicious with the chicken sausage and the cheese, but I do wish that tomatoes were offered as a topping. It would give a nice acidic taste to the omelet. The servers were very nice and offered to take pictures for my party. The aesthetic here is also really nice. Overall, highly recommend for brunch.“
“St Vincent is consistently a slice of heaven here on earth and my favorite “good in the hood”. The service, ambiance, bites and vino are unmatched. And now that there is live music in the garden, it is in a league of its own. The pop up with the Eritrean chef a few weeks ago was a pleasant little twist and I look forward to more of these curated experiences. This is my go to happy place—-home away from home and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Great date place or just gathering spot with your friends.“
“I stopped by on a Wednesday for lunch based on the reviews I saw here. I was more than satisfied. The staff are friendly, the decor and atmosphere is clean, comfortable and stylish, and the pizza is fantastic. I wish I could give them more than five stars!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian toppings. They also can do dairy free if you are vegan.Dietary restrictions: They told me that they have multiple dairy-free options.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy street level access and handicapped bathroom.“
“What a sweet wine spot! We came just before close on a Sunday and I am so glad we stumbled in! The small shop is bright and airy with high ceilings. Their tiled bar seating seats at least 10 people, with tables up in the front near the entrance for larger groups. There were also 2 seater high tops in the back that people were reading books at while enjoying glasses of wine. The service - amazing! The two people behind the bar knew all about their wines and were able to suggest some glasses to us off their Women in Wine list for March. I liked that while the rest of their wine list was from your typical wine producing regions, their Women in Wine selections were more local. They also do events and try to incorporate themselves into the community since they're local - so really a great local wine and cheese bar! They also have a wine and cheese subscription - it looked amazing and pretty affordable, too. They also just recently opened a spot in Union Market - I can't wait to check them out there!“
“I had a wonderful experience at Era. The ambiance is upbeat & smart. Katon's customer centric service was top knotch and brotherly. The French toast was heavenly. I highly recommend Era- bring friends and settle in for a good time. Good Grape, good food, & good service is good for the soul!“
“Carlyle had been long overdue and at the top of our list. Today we’re finally able to stop by and try their food, definitely worth the wait. Food was delicious and fresh, our server Melany and all the staff in general extremely friendly. Our go to restaurant from now on!“
“The clams were amazing! All of the food is super fresh and delicious! The atmosphere is amazing and the dancing is incredible! The service is great and everyone is so nice! Definitely recommend, the food is very authentic and is to die for!“
“We had heard great things about this restaurant and decided to celebrate a special occasion there some time ago. We absolutely loved it.The French onion soup was perfect, and the crab bisque was creamy and delicious. Our steak was cooked exactly as we had requested - medium well and juicy inside. We appreciated the classic interior decor, and the service was good. Overall, the experience was unforgettable.Parking: Although it has a free parking lot, it fills up fast, especially on the weekends.“
“My friend had her baby shower upstairs, and I fell in love with the place. I’d driven by it many times, but had never gone in. I was surprised by how cozy and welcoming the space was. There was a ton of meter parking right out front. The woman who helped us plan the shower was Kelly. She is AMAZING! She was sooo helpful and very professional. I made sure to save her info for our next event! Wonderful experience all around.“
“The food is exceptional here - such unique and authentic dishes that are out of this world! The service is also amazing - it has a very family feel and everyone I've met is just so kind. I travel to Rockville monthly for work and will come back every time!!“
“This place made for the perfect Valentine's weekend night out. The atmosphere is sophisticated, romantic and elegant. The food and wine are excellent and the service is superb. My boyfriend and I had a lovely night. Thank you, Vin Sur Vingt!“
“Great small jazz venue. Ok to go in solo. Better if you go with a significant other or group. The jazz was amazing. The acoustics are exceptional in the space. The Big Bass player did his thing last night. Service for a jazz club was fast with food and drinks. The flavors were on point.“
“I love this spot. The wines are delicious and affordable, the owners are the type who work at the restaurant/ shop and are available for any questions or concerns. One note is that the food is a bit eccentric— very French but with a twist. So check out the menu before you come or if you like more traditional dishes, maybe eat at home!“
“Nice spot for wine, both to sit down and drink there or to take home. Stopped by for happy hour and had two glasses of wonderful wine. Didn’t eat but the food looked great. They have a great selection. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly in their service.“
“UPDATE: We've had a few let downs with the take out and don't order nearly as frequently anymore. Nothing terrible, but just not as good as it used to be.Original: A staple of my take-out habit. Consistently delicious. Great place for a date.“
“I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Bill Cribbin. His professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor set the bar high for dining experiences. Bill went above and beyond to ensure my visit was memorable, making it an absolute pleasure to dine at the restaurant. The food was impeccable as well.“
“We recently discovered this hidden gem, and we were absolutely thrilled with everything! Can’t wait yo try their Sunday brunch!For my kid's birthday party, we decided to order from Emi Rossi, and the pies were a huge hit with all the guests. It's easily our favorite pizza place so far!“
“For all the wine enthusiasts out there, Easy Company is a must-visit spot. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing their happy hour, and it was nothing short of fantastic. Their happy hour menu boasts a solid selection of wines, including Prosecco rose, Sauvignon blanc, Riesling, Malbec, and Merlot, all priced at just $10 per glass. Each wine was impeccably chosen and expertly served, making for a delightful tasting experience. Whether you prefer a crisp white or a bold red, Easy Company has something to satisfy every palate. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a glass of your favorite wine. I cannot recommend Easy Company enough to fellow wine lovers. With its stellar happy hour menu and charming atmosphere, it's sure to become your new favorite spot in town. Cheers“
“My servers name was Andrew, and he was Fabulous!! His personality mixed with attentiveness and knowledge of spirits, makes him a top notch asset to this restaurant.....Food, drinks, and ambiance made this experience unforgettable. This along with the 5 star service I received from Andrew will definitely make me a repeat guest. And it doesnr hurt that he's handsome!“
“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here! It was a little busy and loud but can be expected on a Saturday night.Something to note if its your first time visiting, the host/hostess is located in front of the bar and not at the entrance, so just walk on in and check in at the bar area.We ordered the Deviled Eggs, Gougeres, Mussels, Duck and Steak. Drinks were Kentucky Rose (with ice) and Como La Flor, however the latter may no longer be served for Spring season. Dessert was the bread pudding, if I had to be picky it would have been nice to have a sauce or more of the caramel drizzle as it was a little dry.Everything was VERY good but maybe the Mussels and Gougeres win for best in show!!! Looking forward to next visit!Kid-friendliness: not really, but I dont have kids“
“Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. My mom and I love french food and we had to check out this new place in town. First off the service went the extra mile to help us get a extra seat on a busy Sunday. Their reservationist without a doubt one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Definitely made us feel good before even walking in the door. We got some Bloody Marys to start. It was well balanced and we requested it extra spicy and it was. Well balanced and flavorful. My mom got the Quiche it was big and served with a side salad. She said it was very good rich and flavorful. She had to finish it because it was that good. It was well balanced with the mixed green salad adding freshness to the meal. I got the steak sandwich it was really good. Had a ton of flavor and the steak was tender. Coked mid rare which is the way I like it. The cheese was super gooy and rich. Bread was perfectly crispy and airy. It held its form even with all the drippings from the steak. Fries served with it were crispy and well seasoned. Our friend got a classic French omelette which was served with home fries. She said it was good but more plane than she was expecting. The interior is classic french restaurant looks fantastic. Overall a delicious meal cant wait to try the dinner menu another time.“
“The Eastern is just a couple of blocks from my daughter and son-in-law and is our go to place when we visit them in DC. They have a fabulous menu, however, we love the small shareable plates. The pork sliders, glazed carrots and pimento cheese dip are wonderful. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive and always ready to suggest a wine to pair with our food. We love the atmosphere and the local vibe and are warmly greeted like old friends. Love this place.“
“We sat at the bar opening week, but the bartender, Meti, and the kitchen staff made it seem like they'd been open for months! The drinks were super tasty and creative and the food was all outstanding. The Reel Deal is a neat concept where you choose a piece of fish and it comes with some set sides. It is a great value and I love that the fish are all sustainably sourced. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to return!!!“
“I had to leave a review for the great charcuterie they sent when I ordered on Uber eats. I needed something quick to take to a friend's after work. It arrived wonderfully arranged, in a pizza box so that nothing would get jumbled in transit, and the meats and cheeses were fresh, yummy and accompanied with fresh fruit as well as a few apricots and spreads. They even wrote a quick thank you on the box! Made me want to visit the wine bar in person someday.“
“This was one of the first restaurants I tried when moving to the area five years ago. They consistently have really great food! Appetizers: the beef Bulgogi bai buns and the fried crab wontons are fantastic! My favorite dish is the Tokyo Sun roll. Friends rave about Ramen. They have a full bar, I wish they had better featured cocktails, but when I order my go to drink it’s always made correctly. I have eaten here at least 20 times, staff is always nice, they are just sometimes slow to check on refills, etc.“
“This place is amazing!! I knew it would be great when I saw the stairs leading down to the basement, and it did not disappoint. ? 14 taps of local beer! Felix the bartender was so friendly and knowledgeable, and even the security guy was awesome. The staff is so friendly, I'm definitely coming back here again, maybe even tomorrow night!“
“To describe my experience in a word, Perfection! I have a favorite waiter, Gabby, and he makes sure that the experience is perfect. Tonight's delicious meal consisted of French onion soup, veal chop, Parmesan truffle fries and cheesecake. It was all cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is upscale and welcoming. I highly recommend Capital Grill in Bethesda.“
“Simply put, one of the 10 best wine bars I’ve ever been to in my life. Brent is amazing, knowledgeable, fun, and really cares about the wines he curates and your understanding of them. He knows and cares about his regulars — and newbies. There’s no better wine experience in DC - and it’s not close.“
“They're doing an excellent job of carrying the torch in a spot that has served as a neighborhood staple coffee shop for decadesBeware, they've found major traction on social media over the last year or so, and are well-deservedly extremely crowded every weekend morning as a result“
“As soon as you enter the Peacock Cafe, you are treated like family. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. In addition to the wonderful service, the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I had a prix fixe meal which included a pistacchio soup, steak frites, and a berries with sorbet for dessert. All were tasty with impressive presentation. Great restaurant for dining while in the Georgetown area.“

“What a hidden gem. Have wanted to stop by first some time and glad I did. The owner was there and was unbelievable in making you felt welcome. Enjoyed some conversation with her and others and also had plenty of quiet time to enjoy a book I was reading. It was the perfect mix where people know how to treat everyone else around. Had 2 gallses on Red - 1 that I picked and one the owner recommended. Both were great and price is on point for the quality but a stel for the location, service, and atmosphere.“
“I had takeout Margherita pizza which was delicious. The best I’ve had in DC. Restaurant was crowded and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Only negative is pricing and also I asked the server for a suggestion for a salad with different meat options (i.e chopped or Greek type salad) server suggested some type of cheese filled dish with some type of meat. I don’t even know what it was but cheese was not good. I probably should have been more detailed. Tossed the salad but loved the pizza.“
“I enjoyed a quick dinner solo before grabbing a flight home. Everything was truly excellent. I enjoyed the aramanagc old fashioned, burgundy escargot and braised short rib. I'd highly recommend Chez Billy if you're visiting Georgetown.“
“Really delicious, cat-themed restaurant with the same vibe as its counterpart, Lost Dog Cafe. My burger was juicy and flavorful and the cocktails were spectacular — pricey — but super fresh and creative.Vegetarian options: All burgers come with a vegetarian option and most of the other sandwiches are riffs on a grilled cheese.Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, but the spaces are a bit tight.“
“Beautiful white table cloth dining space. Cozy feel and nicely decorated. Food was phenomenal. The kabobs were flavorful and juicy, the mango rich in flavor and texture, and the lamb chops were delightful. Waiters were attentive and patient, especially considering we had a toddler with us.“
“What a great addition to Capitol Hill-- delicious food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices. I'm going to get some friends together soon to check out the upstairs open air patio (with heater if needed). So far I've enjoyed the salmon entre and the delicious--and authentic--lobster roll. There's lots more on the menu for me to check out!“
“We had the best time bringing a huge party here. The pizza was awesome, and my kids LOVED the fries. But actually the best part was the service and staff. It was A LOT to feed our crew and everyone did it with a smile and kindness. Go here and support this great place!“
“I've been coming here for years with my friends for birthdays and just hangout. I like the ambiance, the food, and the staff. Melissa is our go to waitress, absolutely love her patience, kindness, attention, and professionalism. It's really nice that they revise their menu a little to match the season!“
“Whether it is date night with friends or just the two of us... This place is one of my favorites. It has a quaint and romantic ambiance. Not a place to rush through dinner! I love to start with a cocktail favorite, an Old Fashioned created in an old fashioned manner. Always like to try two or three apps, not the ones you click on, but marvelous morsels of goodness! Move on to a plateful of rich, delicious pasta, then pause. Toast to life after the pandemic with apropos Posecco. Slowly, indulge in the made-in-house Tiramisu...mmmmm. Need I continue?“
“What a cute shop with 3 levels, and outdoor seating. Top level has a wine bar for 21+, 1st floor is where the main cash register is located and some crackers, cheese miscellaneous food items, and basement has their kitchen and a few small tables for seating, and some more food products they sell (like a mini mart). There is free parking behind the restaurant. There is a back entrance from the parking lot that leads to the top floor where the wine/alcohol is served. There are 2 individual bathrooms located on the top floor as well. We don't drink alcohol, so we went down to the 1st level to check out their other products offered. The front entrance leads to the first floor.We came here because we heard from a local that they sell coffee there, and we ordered a Chai Latte and Oatmilk latte. The lady staff was so kind, friendly and welcoming, and guided us to sit down and the drinks will be brought to us. We opted to sit in the basement. There are a few small tables there. My daughter and I really enjoyed our chai latte. It was delicious. However, the oatmilk latte was a little on the sour/acidic side for our taste. But we'd definitely come back to try their sandwiches in the future, hopefully when the weather gets warmer and we can sit outdoors.Their google map hours said they close at 6pm on Tuesday, but we found out that they close at 8pm. So you should call ahead to check on their hours. Also, they're not open early in the morning.“
