“Loved this place for years. I'm unsure why it took me so long to review. The burritos here are crazy good. I used to eat a stuffed pepper dish here but I can't remember the last time I ordered it. Regardless, that stuffed pepper was worth slapping your mom just to get away with hers. I tried the posole for the first time today and it is the nearest to perfection a soup can get. A little spicier than taco bamba's posole and the meat is fall off the bone tender, however, there are no bones in the soup”
“I loved this spot! We went around 4 PM on a Tuesday and it was lovely, quiet, and delicious. The staff clearly love being there and provided top notch service, with several recommendations. The not-pizza’s are pretty big, so one was enough to split when we ordered hummus, the carrots, and the olives too. We are so lucky to have this incredible Palestinian spot for delicious food, pastries, drinks, and even coffee!!”
“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 !”
“After spending the last 17 years in San Antonio, Texas, I have finally found my new favorite Texas Barbecue in Virginia. It has taken me a year, but Wow! I found it. Texas Jack’s Barbecue is finger licking yummy to the tummy! We enjoyed the atmosphere, the decor, the prompt and friendly service, and the menu options available.Everything we ordered was absolutely cooked and seasoned to the highest level of perfection. It was like going home for the Christmas or Thanksgiving season to eat your families’ favorite holiday meal.Oh and I loved their branding too. That is always extra special when a restaurant understands the importance of serving good quality food and creating the emotional attachments to their brand. They did that. Their logo is everywhere. Love it.”
“I’d recommend this place just based on the food itself. I had calamari and a regular lobster roll with sweet potato fries and it was delicious!But the staff is what made Georgetown Seafood special. Right when we walked in (out of a huge rainstorm), a staff member put a towel by the door for us to place our umbrellas on while another staff member immediately found us a table to seat our big group. They took the time to make us feel like VIPs, even down to the extra treats they offered to us after our meal!The place is small, has steep/narrow stairs to the upper level (where the bathroom is located), but even with that I would 100% eat here again and again.Thanks Georgetown Seafood for a wonderful experience!!”
“My goodness...I am pretty sure Kappo DC is the closest thing to heaven on earth. Upon arriving, you are greeted with a conspicuous entrance, light brown wooden door, and a gold plaque with "Kappo Makoto" carved into it. It gave off a very exclusive and high end vibe. Once our dinner reservation time arrived, the door finally opened with a host greeting and welcoming us in. Walking by an amazing display of various bottles of sake and a large mirror for us to snap a picture together, we entered the main dining area. To start, the chefs introduced themselves and gave us a little history on the restaurant's creation and overall vision. We ordered our drinks and we were given the option for the uni & caviar add-on. Since it was my birthday, you can bet your ass we got it! To start, we were presented with the wagyu summer salad. Every ingredient paired perfectly together with a dash of acidity from the light dressing. The uni was absolute butter. The wagyu was melt in your mouth goodness. The greens provided the perfect balance to the rich, complex flavors from the uni and Wagyu together. I knew we were in for an amazing night. Next up was the Chawanmushi, a savory egg custard with wagyu. It was delicate and velvety, yet bursting with umami. Of course, with our caviar topping, this dish was the perfect amuse-bouche. The sashimi trio that followed did not disappoint. The first was light, refreshing, and well balanced. The colors of this dish popped, with bursts of green, pink and orange. The fish (I believe it was hamachi) was super fresh and perfectly marinated. The next one was more meat centric and being paired with the uni, it balanced out the sharper taste of the tuna. The final of the trio was a scallop sashimi, with thin cucumber slices and red onions in an acidic drizzle. Like the first one, it was refreshing and bright. Annnd let's not forget, the caviar/uni pairings which perfectly meshed with each dish. Next up we starting getting back into the wagyu with the Wagyu Menchi Katsu. This one was fun to eat, not anything super impressive, but overall had rich flavor and sat atop a small pool of sauce and a shishito pepper. Overall, a nice change of pace from the fish heavy dishes from before. Onto the Wagyu Chirashi Sushi, this was by far one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The presentation was gorgeous, with a small ball of white rice topped with orange salmon roe, red tobiko, bright yellow quail egg, vibrant green chives, a little yellow flower and a gold flake on top. Let's not forget the radiant uni and caviar to top it all off, this dish was bursting with color. The flavor was overwhelmingly good. My friend, wife and I couldn't stop ourselves making awkward "mmmm's" and "oooh's" out loud lol. It was served in the perfect portion, as any more would have been too overwhelming, but any less would leave much to desire. The Wagyu sukiyaki was a good transition from the rich and savory flavors of the Chirashi. It was solely Wagyu beef with glass noodles and some greens on top, sitting in a puddle of delicious sauce. Sweet yet savory. At this point I was getting very full. Finally the Curry Udon arrived. It was good, but honestly it was definitely well past the climax of the courses. I found this to be a grounding dish, bringing us back down to earth after being sent into space. It was comforting and warm. I wouldn't say it was amazing, it was just nice. A reminder that overindulgence can be detrimental to your overall enjoyment. They did provide me with a scoop of some yummy ice cream since it was my birthday, but also we were sent home with some Royce chocolate. Among the dishes, they had really great cocktails and we also got a bottle of "Seven Spearsmen" sake, which paired really well with the rich and fatty flavors we consumed. Service was phenomenal and I think the chef's enjoyed us at the counter because of how expressive we were and amazed by each dish that was put forth. They spent a lot of time chatting with us while preparing t”
“I am very excited, happy to share. Today was just going to be a day to be bar hopping. But jinya was my first stop. My sister in law and I thought it was going to be a place where one drink one app and off to the next bar. Noooottt, loved our bartenders. Antonio. Amazing performance, personality. His suggestions into getting a mezcal margarita, really!!! But was well balanced. Jackie kudos, awesome personality as well. We shad such an amazing time we stayed longer then anticipated.”
“One of my favorite restaurants! They have incredible options for gluten and dairy-free diners. Veggies instead of bread for dips, homemade almond yogurt to replace any yogurt in entrees. We had the mini tasting menu and there were very few adjustments needed. Absolutely delicious, especially the squash side, the lamb chops, the chicken in yogurt-based sauce, the rice with carrots and raisins, and tasty cocktails. Warm, cozy ambiance with a frequent sitar player.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten feee options and many dairy-containing options can be made dairy-free using their homemade almond yogurt.”
“Food slections from varied menu and service were excellent. Prices have definitely increased since last visits and administrative fee for using credit card? What's that about at a restaurant where everyone uses a credit card?”
“We really wanted to try this place and it met our expectations. Food was delicious and service was great. The carrot bread and the Parisian gnocchi with duck were absolutely ”
“Reservations are needed for dinner given the popularity of this local gem. Food and tea were outstanding. Plan on returning for my next trip to the area.Vegetarian options: The pumpkin dumplings made my day!”
“We got our food to go since the place is on the small side but the food did not disappoint. The sopes were delicious and the torta chingona was amazing. The torta can definitely Can be shared with another person since it’s on the big side (I think it was obvious from the name) I’ll definitely return!”
“If you like crab. Get here.The guy we had was amazing. Showed us what to do - you get fresh crabs on your table covered in these spices from heaven and then you barbarically tear them apart.The guy we had - skinnier white dude. I wish I knew his name. He took all the guess work out and showed us exactly how to get the most meat AND brought us a live one!!Very cool experience.”
“We ordered the 4-course dinner menu which was delicious and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent and we appreciated the Turkish wine recommendation. This restaurant is very close to our house and definitely consider it a neighborhood gem. We will go back to try different menu items.”
“We loved our meal at Ellie Bird! The salmon was cooked absolutely perfectly, and we loved that there were delicious non-alcoholic drink options. The staff was very attentive and our meal was paced well. We’ll be back again!”
“Amazing Easter Brunch! Thoroughly enjoyed the Easter Brunch experience at 1789. The menu, ambience, and service were exceptional. Gluten Free options available as well.”
“Great dinner. The service was good in both promptness, suggestions, cleaning up, etc. Food was almost top notch and had potential...but wasn't fully what I consider fine dining. It's just a nice place to have a good family and friend dinner...not necessarily a first time business dinner unless you are already networked with them. Between the 4 of us, we had salad Caesar Classique, mushroom soup, NY Strip Steak, pork chop, the special Ahi, and the special sea bass. Everything delicious and just a spot off as fine dining but definitely close to it. We had a couple good desserts also.”
“I ordered the crab cake it was delicious, I don't have one bad thing to say.. if there was anything that I didn't like it has nothing to do with the food or service, buy the bathroom was I'm an odd spot and although they have elevator it would be nice to not have to go so far to get to the restroom”
“My first time trying Afghan food and it did not disappoint. My favorite item of the night were the pumpkin dumplings. We had lamb with cilantro and lamb with okra. Everything on the menu you could tell was made fresh and will great ingredients. The lamb was tender and flavorful. We also finished dinner with cardamom ice cream which was absolutely delicious. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful, definitely on the nicer side as far as dress goes. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Per their website all menu items are halalParking: Located beneath the restaurant”
“A great place for a weekend brunch or groups. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. I really like the mapu tofu, the custard buns, the bubble teas and the double cooked pork belly.”
“Finally went last night as I live a block away. The food was incredible, every dish hit. The service was warm and friendly, felt like I'd known them forever. Will be back!”
“I did a take out of their delicious Aloo and piyaz pakoras for our Iftari a week or so ago. The packaging was great which included a generous amount of their tasty green chutney. I glanced at their menu main items and their prices seemed high. Manager/owner and helper were polite and friendly. Great efficient service. Good restaurant atmosphere. I wish them success with their new desi restaurant.”
“Absolutely great sushi and great service! Ordered the dragon roll, salmon lover roll, volcano roll, and 2 California rolls. Everything was perfect. We ordered take out after eating there several days prior (second pic with flying dragon roll). I’d say the price is very reasonable for such delicious and fresh sushi. Service was excellent. Will be our go to place for both dine in and take out!”
“Have only eaten here on a Delivery basis with my go to meal being the White Fontina Pizza, about once a week. It's delicious. The tortellini in cream sauc is also good. They appear to have a large, reasonably priced menu.”
“We had an amazing experience! Everything was delicious, but the Okra Lamb Tajin was my favorite. Cannot recommend this place enough! I’m excited to go back and try the fish.”
“The pink exterior of this building is unmissable; it seems to have become a must-visit brunch spot for those living in Georgetown. While we may have forgotten what we ordered, one thing not to be missed is their "spicy honey" - it elevates the taste of the bagel to a whole new level. Seating is limited, so it's first come, first served!”
“Great flavor and good service! Would definitely recommend taking advantage of all the different toppings, since that’s where the real flavor comes from. Also don’t forget to ask for extra Shawarma sauce on the side!Service was attentive, and they definitely let customers customize their orders to get what they want. The down side with more options is it can take a little longer to get your food. That said, the service was still reasonably timely, and I’d definitely come back.Parking: This location is inside the mall, so parking can be tricky at popular times.”
“Hey Scott, hope you’re reading this wanted to let you know tonight I had an amazing night. Your bar tenders kat and Mac are such a great duo behind the bar, I got a new job that’s super stressful and I hit the bar to release some steam and kat and mac we’re so charming and charismatic and really made my night without knowing my circumstances, they just delivered that hospitality and customer service. Wanted to emphasize that kat handled her self with such grace and delivered on that fun atmosphere even with a cheap rude arrogant “iPad adult” that was just nasty and rude I had to turn around on my bar stool and give him my side eye ? did not phase her, she kept her cool calm and collective demeanor. As I seethed in my seat enjoying my cocktail.If I worked for you, I woulda punched him fyi.?”
“Amazing hidden gem! My wife and I ordered samosa chaat, beef kabob platter, mango lassi and chocolate cake. All the food tasted amazing! Our favorite was definitely samosa chaat and mango lassi. Both items had authentic Indian flavors!”
“De.lic.ious.I don't like Mexican food. Never have. My husband loves it. We had to go for his bday so I looked up places and found this place with 4.8 stars. OK. We went and it's in some industrial area. The smell was mouth watering. For me, that's weird because I don't like Mexican food. The food came. We tried tacos, Carne asada, nachos, fajitas - we finished it. ALL. Even my picky eater ate and ate well.I'm so happy I found this little gem.Don't question it - just go!”
