Amazing paired meal with great service.
Great service and food. Wilk definitely be back when I'm in D.C.
Attended an event there this evening and the food, staff and atmosphere were all top notch! A hidden gem in the heart of Georgetown.
Amazing flatbread, short ribs, Croquette de fromage and Belgium meatballs. Flavors were not complex and felt familiar and comforting. Food was served family style which allowed for conversation and sharing.
Looking forward to coming back!

The Sovereign is an exceptional beer bar along the East Coast, offering a remarkable selection of Belgian and craft beers, both on draft and in bottles. The food menu features standout dishes like the rabbit in Krieg and the braised short ribs, along with croquettes, bacon wrapped dates, and duck confit, all praised for their quality. Many reviews highlight the huge selection of specialty beers, particularly the lambic options, with some bottles limited to one per group. The beer selection is the real highlight, described as second to none, and visitors often plan to return, especially those preparing for a move to Belgium. The service is generally friendly and knowledgeable, with staff willing to ask the manager if they do not know the answer to a question. The atmosphere is lively but can be very loud, making conversations difficult, and it can also get quite hot, possibly due to air conditioning issues. The beer served is largely European, served in the Euro tradition, not ice cold like in America, which adds to the authentic experience. Overall, The Sovereign is a great destination for beer lovers and food enthusiasts alike, with many enjoying the clever pairings and value for restaurant week. It is highly recommended for those looking for a great beer selection and amazing food, including great salad and fun charcuterie.
