“Dauphines is a good happy hour spot. The outdoor bar was mad busy but the vibe was terrific and you could enjoy music from the restaurant next door which was jamming. Marvin is one of the best bartenders in D.C. - kind, super attentive, made great suggestions. Despite the fact that our party was sitting in the courtyard area he bought our drinks over and took our food order. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. We ordered the devil eggs with crabmeat, shrimp cocktail, po boy sliders, raw oysters -- everything was tasty. A little pricey but worth it. Fun spot!“

“Bought tickets on the night for a band we'd never heard of. Terrific night out - we were sitting 3 tables back from the stage. The service was miraculous - how do they manage to efficiently serve everyone food and drink without disturbing the show?! Great night out. Note It's a listening club so you pay attention to the band when they're playing.“

Anthology Apartments Chicken • $$
625 H Street Northeast, Washington

“Five stars. What sets Anthology apart is the people.

From the leasing office to the concierge desk to the maintenance and facilities teams, everyone treats you like family. They care, and it shows in the small things: a warm welcome when you walk in, a quick response when something needs fixing, and the sense that you are known, not just another resident. Great people make this place feel like home.

The apartment itself is beautiful. The industrial aesthetic gives the space real character without feeling cold. My view of the Capitol is amazing, and the location could not be better. I am moments from H Street, Union Station, and Union Market, so restaurants, transit, and the rest of the neighborhood are right outside the door.

Wonderful location, wonderful staff, and a place I could not recommend enough.“

“Just started coming here probably like a month ago for crabs and have been back 3 times since then. I always order ahead of time so by the time I get there, there's not a long wait time. The crabs always have a lot of meat and is seasoned to perfection. When I go there's usually 2-3 other people there so the timing is in and out! 5 stars all around for me.“
