Restaurants in Washington

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!”

“Amazing! The staff was welcoming from the moment you walk in the door!! And the..Food was globally inspired with a twist, and beautifully displayed. Truly felt like a gift to stumble upon this establishment!!”

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“Must have the Mochi fantastic”

“Service and atmosphere were excellent.
The food did not live up to my expectations of Hong Kong/Cantonese flavors... We found this restaurant through the Eater channel on youtube. After our meal, we decided the food was better described as French cuisine with HK influence. I honestly wanted a little soy sauce and rice vinegar with everything. Umami was largely missing from every dish except the duck noodles.
***The chili oil was delicious, floral with balanced heat.***
Split between 2 people:
-green beans (Fine, good texture, but needed more acid to balance rich sweetness. The topping of pickled anaheims were not enough to balance the entire plate),
-dumplings (gentle truffle flavors and nice sweetness from the espuma, but overall unremarkable)
-scallion pancakes (little to no allium flavor, dough was tough, lacked flakes/delicate texture, lacked salt and acid in the sweet tamarind sauce)
-daikon fritters (overwhelmingly bland and dry, needed a dipping condiment)
-Duck noodles finally had some flavor! (But the duck appeared smoked, closer to pastrami... tasty, but not what I expected from duck noodles at an HK restaurant.)
The wine was good. I did appreciate the selection of natural wines.
Overall we were disappointed based on our expectations for and previous experiences with HK/Cantonese dining. The textures and flavors reminded me of a low sodium, easy to chew menu prioritizing French techniques and flavor profiles.
Table condiments (besides chili oil) would have fixed most of my complaints, but I felt embarrassed to ask based on the atmosphere. I felt that my personal culinary tastes were misaligned with the deeply thoughtful and dining experience.
We were not the target diners for this fine establishment, but I recognize the passion, excellence, and personal intention behind every design and culinary choice at Queen's English.”

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.”

“Easily one of my top five dining experiences, anywhere. I've eaten at some of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in NYC, Philly, and D.C., and days later I'm still thinking about my meal at Albi.

The BBQ lamb kebabs were a core memory taste moment. Honestly, they may have ruined lamb for me anywhere else.

Other standouts: the sfeeha, foraged mushroom hummus with wood-fired pita, batata harra potatoes, bbq prawns, knafeh, and the super intriguing urfa biber caramel soft serve (a must if you're into sweet and spicy desserts).

Beyond the food, the service was just as memorable. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server Todd was a total gem.

Can’t wait to return.”

“Delicious brunch and excellent service!”

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service”

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend”

“Unexpectedly outstanding vegetarian menu. The eggplant nigiri sauce was memorable, followed by refreshing radish-wrapped vegetables. Toasted rice beautifully complemented the creamy panna cotta. The entree was the best; the bamboo texture was just right. Pickled mushrooms had good bite, their acidity blending perfectly with leeks and cilantro sauce. Perfect ending with a refreshing sorbet and rich chocolate.”

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.”

“Great food great service!”

“Absolutely phenomenal experience through and through. The cocktails were the star of the show! All were fantastic, but Little Hats and Fast Trains was the crowd favorite among greats. The food was genuinely excellent. We shared the entire menu and found everything to be delicious and creative. The service was outstanding as well. The space is intimate and has an informal vibe for how elevated the cocktails are which we enjoyed. Prices are beyond reasonable for the quality. Can’t wait to go back, take an Uber cause you’re gonna want an extra cocktail!”

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten”

“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .”

“There's a reason this is THE restaurant that visiting Japanese dignitaries go to. Genuinely one of the top Japanese restaurants in the *world* outside of Japan. (And with the accolades to prove it.)

Come for happy hour, or a fancy dinner, or try the outstanding omakase... you can't go wrong, and you can eat well at every price point from $20-200.”

“very tasty Ethiopian dishes and very good atmosphere also excellent services!!!!”

“This place was probably one of my favorite dining experiences in DC. One of the reviews I read mentioned you’ll probably end up ordering 40-50% of the menu, and they were definitely right. For two people, we ordered 1 snack, 2 appetizers, 1 item from the “with bread” section, and 1 large share. We also got the rum cake (which was so good!) for dessert and we each had a drink. We left very full and with some leftovers from the large share.

All that aside, this place absolutely lived up to the hype! Each food item was packed with flavor and had beautiful presentation. The servers were kind and quick to help. Food comes out quickly which was nice! The music was on the louder side, but the playlist was great. We could still hear each other.

One thing to note is the menu changes slightly, so what you see in other reviews will more or less be what is available (with slight changes). For instance, we saw reviews about the chargrilled oysters but when we saw the menu it was (raw) oysters escovitch.

This place is definitely on my list to go back to!”

“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)”

“From the cocktails to the service…our experience was top notch all around! Highly recommend!”

“Have eaten here 4 of 5 days visiting DC. Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend!”

“Great ambiance, food and vibe”

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!”

“This dinner was 10/10! They were able to accommodate to a food allergy easily, service was fast and reliable, and the food was delicious. In addition it’s beautiful inside. Would recommend!”

“Easily one of the best spots in DC, with some of the best food. The corn tamal, grilled leeks w/ mole, and lamb neck barbacoa were some particular favorites, but everything was delicious, fresh, and carefully crafted. The cocktails were excellent, the patio was extremely pleasant, with attentive service — everyone was so kind. A true 10/10.”

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone”

“I think Old Ebbitt Grill are one of the best grill joints around Washington and they got the most warmed atmosphere and I also enjoyed their service a lot. Their waitress and waiters are well trained with great sense of humor and they always smile to their customers/buyers.. You all can give it a try and thank me later hehe 😜”

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.”

“It’s a nice place to have some comfort food it all hours of the day and night”

“RUN, DON'T WALK to Just AJs Veenies. They're at pretty much all the DC farmers markets, and they're absolutely delicious. They are DC's best kept secret, and these shouldn't be a secret. Their food is honestly the best in town, next to Fancy Radish. Vegan or nonvegan, AJs Veenies are a must eat.”

“It was great! Friendly staff and great food ! This will be a stop EVERY time we come back to DC! 10 out of 10 recommended”

“I really appreciate this location service my meal was correct portion specifically mini chalupa with fajitas vegetables taste really good and I would like to come back again, impressive customer service whenever I come here I got good service if though very busy store but I like co me enjoy my food here. Yummy yummy food.”

“Dennis was our server, and he was engaging and very professional. I had the over 55 breakfast which consisted of cheddar scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and 2 pancakes. Hot and tasty. And the 70's music was great.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“This particular store has been in the neighborhood for a long time so this store will need to upgrade the heating system the cooling system maybe it just like I said it needs to be gutted out and remodeled and maybe bigger and better parking lot for them as well because I see cars getting scraped up and everything like that when I'm and I'm coming out the parking lot”

“The breakfast tacos are packed with food. I got a chorizo breakfast taco, and 1 taco was plenty of food. It was delicious. The gentleman who cooked the ingredients fresh on the grill was very customer oriented. Had a very positive vibe. (It is inside the 7-Eleven)”

“Absolutely amazing experience at this Subway! The staff is always friendly, the restaurant is clean, and their attention to detail really stands out. Customer service is top tier — they even know me and my child by name, which makes every visit feel welcoming and personal. Truly appreciate the kindness and consistency every time we come in! Alam and all the staff are the best!”

“I realized today that every Wawa is not created equal. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Jermaine and the other associate whose name I fail to remember for making an amazing sandwich and making me feel welcome as I visit DC. I will definitely be back!”

“Love the breakfast sandwich. Bear claw is my favorite pastry.”

“Super friendly service. Most of the food is really good. Mostly perfect for a lazy night and you can’t decide what to order with your partner or roomie.”

“This subway is the best subway! The atmosphere is the very best and the gentleman here are amazingly friendly and funny 😄 and make it fun to come here. They work very hard and treat everyone kindly . So many people treat them horribly and talk to them any kind of way . This is not right! These men are only working hard like the rest of us . They have families and loved ones too that care and love them! So be kind to them! You never treat those badly who make your food ! Be respectful! Come here and enjoy the freshest food always ! Their produce is always so delicious and never soggy or expired! The place is very clean and well organized!!! Thank you gentleman for you hard work ! As a loyal customer I appreciate you so much and I know that you all will too 😍😘”

“There's a lot of bad reviews so I'm gonna offer my 2 cents: y'all it's Taco Bell. When it's late, they're on of the (if not only) place open. This is a terrible place to door dash. Just use the app and walk down. It has a street pick up window.

The employees can be rude bc it's fast food and customers are utterly ferrel. That's how this works.

To reiterate: it's just Taco Bell. If you are local and just want to pick up food, it works. If your expectations are higher, don't go to Taco Bell.”

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!”

“Always a DC favorite for hosting and client dinners — your team consistently creates a great experience.”

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.”

“Agora DC made my husband’s surprise birthday dinner party one to remember! From the superior customer service and professionalism of their special events management team, including Tsednia Abay, to the Michelin Star-worthy food and service, no detail was left untouched. Thank you to your entire team!😍”

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊”

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.”

“Have dined at Reveler's Hour a few times over the years and it is excellent every time! The menu is always fresh and seasonal and they have the best wine list! Highlights are definitely the pastas and garlic knots. A good selection of NA beverages as well. Can't forget to highlight the outstanding staff and thoughtful service. We love taking out of town guests here!”

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!”

“7/17/26: After an awkward start with an unfriendly bartender, everything turned out great. I had the Old Saigon. The chicken was well-seasoned, moist, and tender. It was a very satisfying sandwich.”

“An amazing dining experience!”

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Minibar went above and beyond our expectations. Due to health issues, we cannot drink alcohol and they curated special nonalcoholic drinks that paired perfectly with the exceptionally creative food!”

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!”

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.”

“Great evening at Anju with work colleagues. The food was exceptional , full of flavor and beautifully done. As chefs ourselves, we were all impressed. Service was warm and smooth throughout. Thanks to Chef for coming by and explaining his dishes ., A great personal touch. Highly recommend.”

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.”

“Exquisite food and drink!”

“Superlative tasting menu, top notch wine parings, outstanding service, from a staff that outnumbers the clientele, what’s not to like? Yes it’s small, so leave the soccer team meetup for the pizza place. For Lutece, bring your favorite couple or 1 or 2 very special friends”

“One of the best sushi experiences we’ve had on the East Coast. The Omakase was exceptional and absolutely worth every penny. A must‑try is The Heaven sake — incredibly smooth, crisp, and perfectly paired with the meal.

We celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and the entire family is still talking about how amazing everything was. Highly recommend!”

“Cannot say enough about how good they do EVERYTHING. Always fresh and made with care, love, perfection, out of the best ingredients. Whenever we are in town, we go to breakfast, and sometimes lunch or dinner. Fantastic place to grab a delicious bite.”

“We walked in 45 minutes before our reservation and they accommodated us. Their Martini's and Old Fashioned's were impeccably prepared. We had Steak Tartare, Chorizo Dumplings, and Blackened Cod. They each had unique and unexpected flavorings that challenged any preconceived ideas we had, they were each unique and the flavor profiles worked across them. I would go back and try separate offerings.”

“#AmazingRestaurant #LeSelRestaurant 🥰”

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)”

“Amazing dishes. Chive cakes, marigold, Laos wine, the butterfly and hummingbird were delicious. The presentation on the pla tong ma was almost as good as the flavor. Aim helped us choose our dishes and provided excellent service.”

“The food was delicious, ambiance even better and service the best.
Stopped in here for brunch with a 1PM reservation on a Saturday. Party of three. We opted for bottomless mimosas (pineapple and cranberry). Our waitress(es) were a delight and attentive - Shoutout to DeLo! My two friends opted for the breakfast burrito while I had steak and eggs. The potatoes were seasoned well and the steak was cooked to my preferred doneness. Since it's a bistro they did not have steak sauce - however they offered me other options which included a mushroom gravy type sauce which paired so well with the steak. I would return just for that combination. I didn't see too many reviews for brunch so I wanted to provide some pictures for that. It's a small space with cute esthetic. It reminds me of a nice remote working coffee shop vibe. I cannot wait to return!”

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere”

“Best dogs and you will not meet a more pleasant and thoughtful person than Sami.”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. The bartenders were also super chill and make really creative drinks. Recommend the honey wine!”

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!”

“great spaghetti drunken noodles. I got them thai spicy and yes there were actually spicy! Was very happy with it.

Service was great and they were even willing to wait an extra twenty minutes for my friend to arrive.”

“Everything was amazing on a birthday dinner evening for two. The opening salvo by the staff and charming decor were engaging, and the first potato crisp mushroom dish: sublime. Been thinking about it for weeks. The other dishes and juice pairings went SO well together, and the finale eggplant and fennel skewer was outstanding. Also been thinking about that for a while… as someone who normally isn’t huge on aubergines. Thank you all for a delightful evening. We’ll be back.”

“Loved our visit and such a dining experience! You have to try it!! Cheers y’all”

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!”

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛”

“Delicious neighborhood haunt.”

“Best sushi restaurant me and my family have ever been to. Our server, Jay made our experience even better with his service that went above expectations. They also gave complimentary matcha ice cream for our birthdays that was insanely good.”

“One of the best places in Dc and right on the water!”

“Unreal 5 star arrive and food . I agree Michelin for sure”

“In my 50 yrs of living on this earth, and have traveled abroad and tried many different places…my experience at The Dabney has been by far the best I’ve experienced. Everyone from host to chefs made me feel like a star. The bar staff, servers, the atmosphere, and the chefs!!! Top tier and would highly recommend!!! Not only was the service excellent…talk about hospitality on a 100! But the FOOD!!! I mean I would’ve been a happy camper just on the drinks from the bar (gotta try the FORWARD drink!! Whew!) and the service alone, but the FOOD?! We were treated to a five course, and every single bite, morsel that I tasted sent every bit of my taste buds to heaven!! I consider myself a picky eater but none of that mattered. If you’re a connoisseur of fine dining…you CANNOT miss THE DABNEY! I salute the CHEFS!!”

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO”

“I had the chef's seven course tasting meal and it definitely met the 1 Michelin star expectations. My request to swap one of the main courses was gracefully accepted. I would come back again.”

“A friend recommended this restaurant and the waiter was very helpful in choosing our appetizers and meals, and also provided excellent wine pairings. We even had a little chat with the other guests”

“Our experience at the Occidental last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was executed with perfection. The menu showcased incredible range and creativity — the twin lobster tails were tender and sweet, the steak tartare was beautifully balanced, and the smoked pheasant under glass was a showstopper both in flavor and presentation. Each dish felt carefully crafted and elevated, yet approachable. The wine list was equally impressive — clearly curated with thought and depth, offering the perfect pairings to complement the meal without ever feeling overwhelming. Service was another highlight. Warm, attentive, and genuinely inviting, the staff struck that rare balance of professionalism without a hint of stuffiness, making us feel truly welcome. Though we couldn’t save room for dessert, it simply gives us the perfect excuse to return soon. The Occidental delivers a dining experience that lingers in memory — refined, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. Highly recommended!”

“Amazing meal. The food and service were top notch. Service friendly and professional. Beautiful restaurant. Excellent wine list. Host John insured that all went well. All 8 of us greatly enjoyed the experience!”

“Everything was delicious, staff and atmosphere were all top notch. We typically have trouble finishing entire entrees in restaraunt, 4 of the small plates ended up being the perfect amount of food with no room for desert. With 2 beers and a mocktail our total came to only $130. Given the quality and entire experience it felt like a great value.”

“I'm from Texas and have been dying to find a breakfast taco spot. I might as well have been in my mom's kitchen, eating tacos on a Sunday morning. that's how amazing La Tejana tacos are!”

“Go. Now. If it’s closed, just wait outside til it opens and thank me later. I CANNOT recommend them higher. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Portion sizes that can feed 2-3 people. Ridiculously delicious food. Great prices… and most outstanding THE SERVICE! The lady running the place was quite simply one of the kindest sweetest souls you’ll ever meet, took care of us like we were part of the family and honestly was just incredible.”

“great food and service nice spot”

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.”

“Great place. Wish they would open a 2nd place at Liberty Exchange in Sykesville - 2 units still open for a nice coffee place (that isn’t Starbucks!) one is right next to Basta Pasta!!”

“The food is amazing fast service and the place is as clean as ever including hand sanitizing stations everywhere and even Lysol wipes for people to clean after themselves over all 5 starts”

“I ordered pizza from Georgetown location by uber and bottom of pizza was burnt. I had to throw away. Today, I just picked up 2 pies and asked Dell make sure bottom is not burnt. Kiara was so friendly and checked both pizzas make sure it’s not burnt. DELL AND KIARA WERE SO FRIENDLY!!! Definitely coming back to this location!!”

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋”

“Incredible vibes!
Bartender was an absolute chief throughout the night, and the karaoke hostess (kj) kept the energy up!

We absolutely loved the concept of costumed karaoke, it adds another layer of slumber party chaos to the night. People were very friendly and participated actively in the spectacle.

We will be back on Thursdays and Saturdays!!”

“the second you step in you're hit with delicious smells. indoor seating with quiet calm atmosphere, food was amazing, and service was super kind and helpful. will DEFINITELY be coming back!!!”

“good food”

“I love this place with all my heart.”

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.”

“Love to join them again”

“We spotted this cute little place while walking by and those red umbrellas caught our eye. We sat outside under the trees and had the tortilla and falafel, the food was absolutely amazing! The staff were super friendly and attentive too. Definitely worth stopping by! ❤”

“Never thought to stop in until now--after five years in Woodley Park, we've found our spot for weekend brunch/buffet!”

“Our experience at the Occidental last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was executed with perfection.

“Great evening at Anju with work colleagues. The food was exceptional , full of flavor and beautifully done. As chefs ourselves, we were all impressed. Service was warm and smooth throughout. Thanks to Chef for coming by and explaining his dishes ., A great personal touch. Highly recommend.”

“Some of the best soul food that you can get, I am a Native Chicagoan that relocated to D.C. from Mississippi. I wish I would have visited this place when I first relocated. I visit 3 times a week (yes 3 times a week).”

“The food is excellent I go to SOHO on K Street NW they make all of my favorites hot and cold foods.”

“I’ve loved coming in and seeing the staff make the fresh coffee on Sunday from the pot. Such a refreshing aroma. I like their espresso coffee with steam milk .”

“Ma and Eam are the best people u ever want to meet they showed nothing but respect and a lot of. Love in there food 5 stars sis”

“the food was good and my uncle owns the place very cool and we get the food for free”

“Sent a review and meant to give 5 Stars for all ratings: 5-Overall 5-Food 5-Service 5-Atmosphere”

“A very inviting corner restaurant, great for people watching and cocktails. The drinks were nice and the atmosphere was lux. We went on a Saturday and it just felt like they needed a manager around. Felt like they were really understaffed and not ready for the crowds. There were some people who had worked there longer and were directing others, and the food did come out of the kitchen timely. But there wasn't a sense of table service really, you just catch them when you can, know the candle won't get lit even after you asked and teach the server how to swipe the card. I wish they had someone tending to things, but maybe when it's slower it will be better. The pizza was good, and lots of pepperoni. I wished it wasn't quite as soggy in the middle but it tasted good. And the burrata had no flavor, no nice olive oil or pepper, very bland, but it was a hearty portion. Can't complain about the drinks. I can sense when there's no service concept so I hope they get it together.”

“great good great cook great service keep me coming back.”

“I enjoyed the most decorative meals full of nutrients and I would love to visit them ones again when I get less busy one day😊💕”

“Haley was absolutely fabulous. Her personality was so pleasant and she was extremely professional. She checked on us just the right amount of times and was very knowledgeable about the restaurant, even though she was relatively new. She's a true keeper. Oh yes, the food was out of this world. I know we'll be back and I've recommended it to my friends that either live in K of P or who I know visit there. it was just a lovely experience Laurie Edson”

“Amazing food and exceptional service! My friends and I ate at the Georgetown Waterfront location literally every evening - such a great place.”

“We came here for my partners birthday and it was absolutely wonderful”

“The octopus, sea scallops and the dish with the kale and butter beans were amazing! Every visit is an adventure for me. I also love the decor and the service”

“An excellent spot for casual meetings. They offer great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food.”

“Carlos was our waiter. He was exceptional. Food and drinks exceptional. Hope to come and dine again in the future. It's a 5”

“The short rib with the mashed potatoes was delicious. Definitely a must get.”

“Winnie was so helpful—she knows the menu extremely well, and she provided so many wonderful recommendations for our meal. The southwest salad was fabulous! My kid absolutely loved the New York strip. Winnie was a fabulous waitress! I’d come back.”

“Our waiter Jakarri was absolutely amazing!!! He made our experience more amazing than I anticipated. This is our first time here and I will be back partly because of him.”

“Thanks you so much #psychiczabaza”

“Great location! Service was a little slow on this visit but the management made up for it.”

“The BEST food, the BEST service!”

“The food was great! Chicken and waffles was very good. Service was friendly and responsive.”

“Food drinks were good. Hospitality was great”

“Such a lovely experience at Casamara! The food was on point, delicious as always. Melissa made our visit even better, she was wonderful. Amazing food and beautiful service.”

“I had the privilege of dining here during restaurant week and the experience was absolutely amazing. I’d come here for drinks before but never had the pleasure of the dining experience until now. We received a four course meal for $65 that included three small plates, an appetizer, a main + three sides, and two dessert samples. It was the perfect sampling of some of the best the menu has to offer.

My favorite by far was the peixe cru (chilled hamachi fish with charred mango). The sauce was to die for! I literally scraped every last drop off of the plate! My second favorite was the flan (pudim on the menu) the other reviews don’t lie. It was incredible!

The vibe of the dinner dining experience was wonderful — great wait staff, chill patrons, lovely Brazilian music and vibe. We went on a Saturday night and stayed through the beginning of the DJ set. It was great music, but then they started letting the young in’s in and the vibe turned college bar a bit. We couldn’t hang with their late-night energy anyway after all of that food, so we fled. 😆

I would recommend this spot for drinks (the melon caipirinha was actually my favorite, and the Brazilian coffee) and an upscale — but not snooty — dining experience. I’ll definitely be back if I can get a reservation again!”

“Finally found decent Thai/Lao spot in DC! Red curry with pork belly, Papaya salad(can select Lao/Thai), and drunken noodle! Spicy information is right for American, not much spicy for me but it’s good.💋 open to revisit!”

“My boyfriend and I were visiting from Texas. Found Alfreda’s online and came for dinner. It was absolutely amazing and our favorite meal of our trip. I had the blueberry St. Germain spritz and the passion fruit spritz— both great. And we shared the Caesar salad and the Alfreda pizza add basil. It was definitely up there, if not was, our favorite pizza we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Alfreda sauce on the side, like a dilly ranch with a bit of sweetness. I highly recommend and so glad we found it!”

“Hottest new seafood restaurant near DuPont Circle. Best Lobster Risotto I’ve had in my life! The Lobster Bisque was very creamy with large chunks of fresh meat. Topped it off with Key Lime Pie in a cup. The owners are very friendly and the service was excellent. Definitely a 5-star place!”

“GO TO LIZ!!! She was absolutely amazing and such a delight to have around, my first experience here and it was superb because of her. Such good energy and a vibe. Very good explanation and great recommendations. Will be coming again and will be seeing her! ❤❤”

“Candace is Superstar! I’m visiting in town with friends from all over, and my Ugandan friend after one taste, “this reminds me of home”. If you looking for quick bite, and/or dine in. This is the spot to go to for authentic African food and genuine connection. We definitely will be back while in town!”

“Meti made this experience so much better with her amazing smile and service. She went abov and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our drinks and food. She made an amazing espresso martini and had a very bright and welcoming smile that would have me and my friends coming back very soon!!! Thanks Meti for such a great experience!”

“Absolutely incredible food with each course being better than the last. All flavours work well together to give the dishes something to be remembered. Service was fast and friendly and described what they dishes were when placed on table. Highly recommend this place and will be back often.”

“We had a wonderful experience at F1 Arcade for my sons 21st 🥳🎉. “Day”was welcoming, patient, and very knowledgeable! She remembered our requests, kept our drinks refilled, and made us feel genuinely cared for. We will definitely be back thank you, Day🫶”

“A must go. Place was vibrant and popping on a Wednesday evening. Food was surprising and delicious without being pretentious - the escargot was a fantastic surprise. They have Cynar so extra point for that.”

“Our waiter Magdalena was EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Highly recommend partaking in restaurant week and indulging in the North Carolina fish!!! The calamari and crab dip was amazingly delicious!!!!!”

“LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!!!
This was by far the best meal I’ve ever had in my life,
The couples meat dining experience was transporting me to heaven, the food was so good and the host was so funny and kind (Wesley?)
He was amazing and made the entire experience so fun
Also the drinks were so delicious we only got the espresso martinis but they were so creamy and delicious 🤤

I would come back here for every important occasion in the future!!!!
Best date night ever”

“Delicious!!! Some of the best Indian food in town”
