“First visit; I went for Restaurant Week. I ordered the chicken corn chowder, the short rib ravioli and the caramel cheesecake. The chowder was excellent, a great balance of corn and chicken and a goodly amount--but not too much--pepper. I loved it...and a very generous portion! The ravioli was super too--cooked to perfection, stuffed to capacity with cheese, accompanied by a nice hunk of well-seasoned and -cooked short rib. I wasn't able to finish it, so I took some home. I took the cheesecake home too and ate it after a couple of conf calls. Just the right amount of caramel with a couple of strawberries and a creme Anglaise sauce. Scrumptious!! I don't remember many occasions when I've loved all three courses of a meal, but that was certainly the case tonight. I can't wait to go back.“

“Wonderland Ballroom is probably my favorite bar / restaurant in DC.

A true neighborhood spot that somehow has multiple personalities. Need a casual weeknight dinner in Columbia Heights? Wonderland.

Looking for great weeknight food or drink specials? Wonderland.

Looking for brunch? The skillets are killer.

Looking for a safe, fun place to dance late at night? Wonderland has that covered.

The staff, and owners, who live in the neighborhood, are consistently kind, welcoming, and professional. That is a big part of why this place works so well.

And if you’ve never had the fried eggplant fries, fix that immediately.

One of the best bars in Washington, DC. One of the best spots in Columbia Heights for dinner, brunch, drinks, or a dance party.

Just one of those places that gets everything right.“
