Modern European Restaurants near Washington, DC

“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 .“

“What a great place ! I’m Swiss and very critical when it comes to “ Swiss restaurants “ in other countries. The best Kalbs Bratwurst und Rösti. The Vermicelli tasted just like at home. Great hospitality. And fair prices. THANK YOU FOR A HOME EXPERIENCE AWAY FROM HOME“

“I had a strange experience a couple of weeks ago. My partner and I have dined at this establishment several times and most recent was last year. I always enjoyed the service and experience. A friend was in town and we went to Georgetown on the fly. It was a Thursday evening and I noted that there were available dining tables through the app. However, the doors were closed and locked, so we then accessed what appeared to be a bar area adjacent to the restaurant --as I wondered if the entrance had changed. A gentleman with an apron on mumbled something about the restaurant and then asked if we wanted to be seated at the bar. We declined and moved on. I did not see any notification on your website that there was an event or closure, and assume you operate on Thursdays after 5:30PM. So I am unclear if you're even still operating.“

“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“

“My husband friend and I needed an early dinner near Adams Morgan so i did a quick search and found Ceibo. It was fantastic! The mushroom appetizer and the eggplant appetizer were both amazing. We all ordered the black cod entree. It was stupendous. Ill definitely return.“

“Penne Pasta with Pork Bolognese Crispy Lemongrass Chicken Caramelized Cauliflower It tastes good. The environment is nice“

“Me and my partner had shnitzels and a fish platter. They tasted great, especially the shnitzel. The potato salad came with a lingonberry jam which a great surprise and we loved it. Although the portions were on the smaller side, they gave us free pastries before leaving which was very kind. Some of the tables for two are a bit small and you almost worry things would topple over, but other than that, it was a cute place“

“Sophisticated flavor without being pretentious. I would have appreciated a larger portion of cheese with the charcuterie. However, before my visit I never had a relationship with mustard and now I do. It is not to be underestimated. Dave/David was a pleasant and knowledgeable server with great suggestions.“

“This is our second time at Ambar and I remarked to my mom as we left that I think this is the best restaurant with the best value in Virginia. The food is outstanding, the all-you-can-eat style for $50pp is unbeatable, and the decoration and the vibes are really lovely. We love Ambar!“

“This is was so absolutely delicious. It was quiet and classy, perfect for a date night or anniversary. We got for drinks the Hugo spritz and the spicy margarita, which I liked, and would love to try more of their wine list. Then we got the sausage appetizer, which was flaming and delicious, and the soup du jour was very mild and nice. I got the steak Portuguesa which had such a good sauce I was blown away! My partner got the veal Francesca. We also got the baked Alaska, which was also set on fire and charred a little, but was really great to end the night.
Very beautiful atmosphere with the dark wood, leather, and paintings.“
