Fine Dining Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Incredible restaurant that puts elevated care, attention to detail, and quality ingredients front and center.

Unpretentious in austere but refined in the approach to your hospitality experience, this gem nestled in the heart of AdMo is a must-see for all hungry foodies in the area.

My experience with Imani and Amina will be the reason I return and tell my friends to go. Their storytelling, command of the menu, and easy approach to creating an elevated dining experience did not go unnoticed.

Meatball and porkchop were a hit in tenderness and flavor, while the cabbage and pudding were a hit in dynamics and design. Major shout out to Amina for bringing over the perfect wine pairing to complement our porkchop—on the house.

These moments create the fine dining experience and make the price point worthwhile.“

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

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“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!“

“Exceptional throughout from the rooms to dining to sophisticated and attentive staff - thank you for having us.“

“The staff was super welcoming and took time to explain each dish with a fun story. We celebrated our anniversary and it was so special, Chef even stopped by the table. The duck was incredible and my wife especially loved the creative dessert.“

“Absolutely amazing food by a talented chef“

“I had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was really tasty, full of flavor, and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. What really stood out to me was the service — Camilo was super kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave us great recommendations and made the whole visit even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and I totally recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and friendly service.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“Equinox has long been my favorite restaurant in DC. I am happy for them in their new location, which appears to give them more space plus a nice outside dining area. I did a Restaurant Week dinner with wine pairing, and as usual the food was sublime, meticulously prepared with attention to flavor as well as presentation. You can never go wrong with Equinox.“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“Akim makes you feel like family, all while spoiling his guests with high level service that can not be replicated. If you are a returning customer, he remembers your preferences, recommends accordingly, and will call attention to new items that may broaden your experience. The food is amazing, well cooked, flavorful and portions are sizable for an ala carte menu. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to the harshest critic or for most treasured date night, you will not be dissatisfied.“

“Had a lovely dinner here with friends. Our server was as nice and chill.

The food was delicious. We had the samosas and spinach for apps, which is one of my fav dishes, and the mixed grill and butter chicken for mains. Loved the variety and flavor of the mixed grill, I actually wish it had lamb chops instead of the salmon but overall it was great. The butter chicken was a little too sweet but the chicken was fresh, which I really appreciate soft melty chicken in curry. I had the mango lassi - this fell flat for me. The flavor wasn’t that good and it was served in a to-go cup for me to drink with my meal in the restaurant. I’m guessing it’s cutting in cleaning yoghurt cups but it takes away from the experience.

Overall good experience and will be back.“

“Great dining experience! Great service and food! 5 ⭐️s!“

“The foie gras was excellent, the scallops were succulent, the lobster bisque was excellent, the Chilean sea bass was mouthwatering and the steak was superb! LK and our entire wait staff provided tier 1 service! Exceptional! How can I forget the craft cocktails…thoroughly enjoyed The Mistletoe!“
