AboveGround restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a focus on British cuisine. Their Shepherd's Pie is praised as the best ever had, and it is noted for its deliciousness, reminiscent of meals enjoyed in England. The Fish and Chips, a favorite among many, features a gigantic filet of whitefish that is well breaded and crispy, with some guests noting the fish is the size of their forearm. Diners have shared that the batter is impossibly crisp without being greasy, and the fish flaked apart like butter, showcasing the freshness and care in the cooking. The fries are a little thicker than expected but golden and seasoned just right, providing a smooth, starchy chew. The combination of the sausage roll and fish and chips is described as perfect, with giant fish and triple-cooked chips. Diners are encouraged to add vinegar and enjoy the house-made tartar sauce, which enhances the meal. AboveGround has become a must-visit spot for those craving authentic British food in Washington, DC, thanks to its flawless flavor and execution. It is a place where both locals and visitors can enjoy a truly memorable meal.
