“I had the absolute best experience at my birthday brunch thanks to our amazing waiter, Pablo! He went above and beyond to make the day feel extra special — from his kind attitude to his incredible attention to detail. He was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcomed and celebrated. I truly appreciate the great service, and I highly recommend anyone dining here to ask for Pablo if you can. He really made the whole experience unforgettable!“

“One of the best meals I've had in Alexandria, if not the best. Pimento cheese is phenomenal, the country fried steak was even better. Brought my parents who eat at high-end restaurants around the country frequently and they were blown away by the food. Server was very knowledgeable and kind. 11 out of 10“

“When you think of a speakeasy… this place looks like what comes to mind. Down a flight of stairs leading to oversized doors you find yourself stepping back in time and greeted by a skilled bartender sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for an after dinner drink or to just hang out with friends.“

“Great food great drinks great vibe! Loved it“

“I came here with some friends for a fun Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed my time! The vibes are great, the music was great, and the food was great too! I tried the beef skewers and the jollof rice. The service could be improved upon. We were left waiting for our waiter for very long periods of time and when my food came, I wasn’t given any silverware or napkins. Overall, I will definitely be back!“

“Beautiful Venue, Good brunch, Great Staff Gabi was super helpful. Plan to come back and do some more photography.“

“FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND I LOVE STEVE AND GEORGINA“

“The best Ethiopian food and fresh food made immediately when you order thanks ghion that make me love it“

“My wife, mother, and I went here for Christmas and had a great experience. It was a very intimate setting with not a lot of people which I liked. The food was absolutely amazing! We all got the she crab soup as an appetizer and it was delicious! For entrees my wife and I ordered the jambalaya and my mom ordered the blackened salmon. My wife and I loved the jambalaya and my mom said the salmon was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive at the beginning but as more people came in we saw her less and less. She started to forget things that we asked her for towards the end and we would not see her for quite some time. But I give her a bit of grace because it seemed to be only 2 waiters including her and they also seemed to be taking care of the bar as well which is alot! Overall we loved this restaurant and would definitely go back.“

“The food was genuinely a 10/10. I ordered doro wat definitely recommend. We ordered our dishes and then came out within 15 minutes very fast. The customer service was good and the vibes and energy was good as well, mind this was on a Tuesday at 10pm. Definitely check this plate out.

Also on of the ladies was really sweet in helping dishing out my food. I felt very welcomed 🥰“

“Shout-out to the amazing security with the dreads cause not only him, but everyone that worked there made sure my friend and I were good. This was something I needed to experience coming from Toronto. At first the vibe was calm and chill then it started to get busy around 12am. If you're looking for afro beats and don't know of this place, this is the place!“

“We almost canceled our Afternoon Tea bec the reviews were pretty bad. But we were surprised that the afternoon tea room for Quadrant was really decorated well. We went early April so the decor was Cherry Blossoms. Very pretty with Bridgerton background music. The tea selection were nice and the snack tower were a mix of savory and sweets. For additional $50, they were able to create a gluten free tower for me. In the end, our bday celebrant was happy. Service was good as well and explained everything.
When you book, make sure you’re not seated by the bar area. For 6 people we paid around $700. I think afternoon teas are typically around that price, esp when in luxury hotels.“

“I had a wonderful dinner here and was immediately impressed by how authentic and flavorful everything tasted. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a classic feel that makes it a great spot for a relaxed meal. I tried several traditional dishes, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out—the lamb was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was exactly what you would hope for in a Greek kitchen. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It clearly has a loyal following for a reason, as the attention to detail in the food is excellent. It is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a high-quality, traditional meal in a comfortable setting.“

“Don’t trip best bar uptown“

“The Number #1 highlight is Granny and the Boys. Number # 2 is the Bartenders. #3 The Showtime Crowd.“

With its elegant decor and comfortable seating, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day in D.C. The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring expertly crafted drinks and a selection of fine wines. The attentive staff provides exceptional service, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Whether for a casual meeting or a relaxing evening, the Statler Lounge is a delightful retreat that enhances any visit.“

“Great place and great staff!“

“Recently my wife and I popped into this spot for a birthday event, it's a cool place! It's got an amazing vibe.
Think of your favorite chill spot or dive bar, but with an upscale esthetic better. The food was Delicious!. Definitely more than what i expected. Prices are what you'd expect for a place in the city, but it's totally worth it for the quality and experience. The mix drinks were impressive. The staff were super acoomodating and friendly. The place is also decked out nicely, it has a relaxed yet kinda fancy feel. It's not super spacious, but that's part of its charm. Its a friendly dive bar vibe with class. Seriously, if you're looking to hang out, celebrate, or just grab a a drink and chill this is your spot. I'd definitely recommend swinging by, especially if you're looking to host a little get together. Or just want to catch the game.
Trust me, it's worth checking out!"“

“I recently dined at Space DC Restaurant & Lounge, and I must say their exceptional customer care truly stood out. As someone with a severe allergy, dining out can often be a stressful experience. However, the staff at Space went above and beyond to ensure my meal was not only safe but thoroughly enjoyable.

Upon informing the bartender, Josue Vasquez, about my allergy, he immediately reassured me and took detailed notes to communicate with the chef, Marcel Che, and Sous Chef, James Jones. What really impressed me was their proactive approach: Chef Che personally came out to discuss my dietary restrictions and preferences. On hand, there was not such an enhancement for my dish so they crafted a special dipping sauce on the spot, ensuring it was free from any allergens and tailored to my taste.

The attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being made the entire dining experience incredibly comfortable and pleasant. The food was delicious, and knowing that it was prepared with such care made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Space to anyone seeking not just great food but also a restaurant that truly values and prioritizes its customers' needs.

Overall, Space exceeded my expectations, and I will certainly be returning soon. Their dedication to customer care and safety is unparalleled, making it a standout choice for anyone with dietary concerns.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While exploring Alexandria’s waterfront, we stopped for lunch at Vola’s Dockside Grill and it ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences of the trip.

The location is hard to beat. We were seated on the outdoor patio right along the waterfront with beautiful views of the marina, boats, and the Potomac River. It was the perfect setting to relax, enjoy the weather, and watch the activity on the water while having lunch.

We started with a selection of oysters on the half shell and were impressed with both the freshness and quality. The oysters were cold, clean, and flavorful, served with all the traditional accompaniments. For our main appetizer, we ordered the coconut shrimp, which was outstanding. The shrimp were large, perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, and paired with a delicious dipping sauce that complemented the sweetness of the coconut coating.

To drink, I ordered a Bloody Mary that was every bit as good as the food. Nicely seasoned, refreshing, and garnished generously, it was the ideal waterfront cocktail.

What really completed the experience was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being intrusive. Food and drinks arrived promptly, and we never felt rushed despite the restaurant being busy.

Vola’s combines fresh seafood, excellent cocktails, attentive service, and one of the best waterfront dining locations in Alexandria. Whether you’re looking for oysters, seafood, drinks with a view, or simply a relaxing place to enjoy the riverfront atmosphere, this is a spot that should be on your list.

We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in Old Town Alexandria.“

The staff's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets this place apart. A must-visit destination for anyone looking for a great night out. Can't wait to return. Security very professional and well trained.“

“My favorite place in Takoma Park! Great food and drinks made and served with care.“

“Great vibe! Love it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Nice place!! I had a great time!
Great place to dance and have drinks. The DJ plays good music,some days they have live music ,it has a great atmosphere with a nice crowd.
We went after dinner, and next time I'll try the restaurant's food, which looks amazing. Leo, the manager, is very attentive and, above all, great.
Go dance and have fun!“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

In summary, Skylit Lounge is a welcoming neighborhood spot with joyful music, excellent hookah, and a warm, friendly vibe. It's a place where you can relax, enjoy great company, and feel right at home.“

“<3 I always have fun here! The music is great, hookah is good and the food is BOMB!“

“Best spot in town , best music“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing time at Smoke and Mirrors Rooftop! The atmosphere is incredible and the view is absolutely breathtaking and I could literally see the White House from where I was sitting, which made the night feel unforgettable. The space itself is stunning, beautifully designed, and every detail feels elevated. Even the bathrooms stood out and honestly some of the nicest I’ve ever seen anywhere. It’s rare to find a spot that combines a gorgeous view, great vibes, and such attention to detail, but Smoke and Mirrors nails it. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Stopped by Sidecar for an evening snack and drinks. We had the Chicken Flatbread with arugula and BBQ sauce drizzle. The food and drinks were better than average, but a little on the high end for what you get. If TripAdvisor had a "Better-Than-Average" rating, I would have given it that.“

“This just might be my new Monday night spot. Game night and karaoke vibes were real chill. Lots of laughters, lots of fun, looks off inner child joy. Probably might be the best Beef Tibs I ever tasted and so tender. Just might have set a new standard. Waitress was friendly, host was friendly. It was truly a vibe that I needed.“

“This was my second visit and somehow it was even better than the first. The drinks menu is genuinely one of a kind — creative, carefully crafted, and unlike anything else in the city. The overall dining experience is truly unparalleled; from the moment you walk in, everything feels exceptional. The service is first class in every sense, and Will in particular went above and beyond — an absolute gem. This place has my heart. I’ll keep coming back!“
