Inventive food, strikingly presented, excellent help in organizing an event for 14 people; very flexible with dietary needs. The food is really good, generous in portion and in flavor. Accommodating to changing numbers of participants for our event. Definitely recommended!

A truly special place. Nina May was the perfect choice for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party! From my first contact with Teodora the event planner til the end of the night I could not have asked for a better experience. They customized, personalized our night. The food was beyond delicious! The staff were top notch! Do not hesitate booking this venue for any group get togethers! Thank you Nina May!

Sit outside if you can for a wonderful, chill experience. Food was delicious AND they accommodated my dietary restrictions (gluten free and pescetarian) without issue. Cocktails vary from solid staples to fun, innovative, risky drinks that end up working out well. Highly recommend for a nice evening.

We had a fantastic brunch at Nina May on Sunday with their set menu. Highlights included smoked salmon blinis, avocado tartine, a rich croissant sandwich with bacon and poached egg, and decadent caramelized peach pancakes with ice cream. Great food, attentive service, and a relaxed patio vibe — a perfect spot for brunch.

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner & welcome party at Nina May and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The staff at Nina May, from the hostess to the bartenders to the managers are incredibly kind and thoughtful. Teodora, the Events Manager, made the planning so easy and really impressed us with her responsiveness.
Nina May has always been one of our favorite restaurants and their special events menu did not disappoint. We received so many compliments from friends & family on how incredible the food and drinks were.
If you are looking for a space for your next Private Event in DC, I cannot recommend Nina May enough! They have so many different room rental options and can easily accommodate a variety of party sizes. Please support this amazing local business!!!

Good food with respectable portions. Lots of light and well-appointed dining space. Even the NA cocktails were great.
Had dinner at Nina’s on a quiet Sunday night. The atmosphere was relaxed, and even the hostess commented that it was quieter than usual. After looking over the menu and chatting with my server, I decided on the Cacio e Pepe Agnolotti with caramelized onion and ricotta cheese. While a bit on the salty side, the dish was absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and full of deep, savory flavor. Though the portion was a bit small to stand alone, it made for an excellent main course that I would definitely recommend.
If you're dining with a companion, consider ordering the Chef’s Choice. It offers a curated selection of the restaurant’s highlights in shareable portions at a fair price.
To drink, I tried the It’s My Jam—not something I’d typically go for, but I was blown away. It was tart, refreshing, and the perfect complement to a warm summer evening.
Nina May made for a great dining experience.

Had a 40th birthday dinner here and because we had 8 guests, the restaurant really helped us plan and organize the dinner details in advance. They really made it special and even included a personalized birthday message printed on the dinner menu. Definitely will be back to our new fav…
