Restaurants near Cabin John

“I happily got my sushi fix here. The Dynamite Crunch roll was great! The eel avocado roll was good, but after splurging on the Dynamite, it seemed plain in comparison.
Very nice couple working there and quiet classical music playing in the background was good.”

“Nice neighborhood spot — good food with large portions! Folksy — people will talk to you! Slightly noisy, but not in a bad way. Wait staff is excellent — ask for “Junior”, he will take care of you!!! Check out his mustard and ketchup shoes!!!”

“Loved it enough to go back the next day to try another dish. Really enjoyed blackened fish taco plate and then the salmon taco plate the next day. Also had the ceviche. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it. I was recently spoiled having ceviche in Ecuador...and Ecuadorean ceviche wins in a head to head.”

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations”

“The food, service, and atmosphere are exquisite. I am quite fond of their selection of drinks aswell. I come in often to get a Riverside sandwich, which is absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly and affable and the service is very much satisfactory. I reccomend to everyone who lives in the area”

“A small but mighty market. Staff is friendly.

There is a selection of beer, wine, snacks, & drinks. There is also fresh hot and cold food made to order.

I love popping in here for a nice cold turkey sandwich and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.

The turkey sandwich isn't fancy or anything and is a standard brown sack lunch type but it's great in my book.”

“The environment is great, the menu is very diverse, and seemingly commonplace dishes manage to be innovative in flavor”

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“We ordered the fixed menu, which we thought was a great way to experience the best of the menu without having to think about what best to order. The light appetizers were definitely the highlight, along with the desserts. I particularly liked their seafood entree.”

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!”

“We love coming to Opal for the amazing food, libations and attentive staff. Recently I booked a company dinner with them and the food selections and service were impeccable, as always! Everyone enjoyed having the upstairs for our event and are looking forward to hosting another event with you soon!”

“Have eaten here 4 of 5 days visiting DC. Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend!”

“Sushi Taro used to be considered one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city, but it is not surprising they no longer are on the Michelin guide in 2025. The table service was good, but the rest of the service was mediocre. The food itself does feel overpriced for the quality, only a few select items were notable. Really not a destination for sushi or sashimi. Nothing they are doing terribly wrong per se, just nothing to write home about.”

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone”

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!”

“Great people, great service, great food! I've been on a mission to find Eggs Benny done right - thank you! For the breakfast, and for being an awesome part of the adventure. 😊”

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.”

“Great food great service!”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. The bartenders were also super chill and make really creative drinks. Recommend the honey wine!”

“Excellent food and the best chai!”

“A cute place in a cozy spot filled with joy and anticipation. The menu changes often so, if you look online and salivate at one of the photos, there is a good chance what you desire has morphed into something else. But fear not, the chef has surely created something new you willingly dive into.

I had the beef short ribs Chinese style. As my mother would say, when she is commenting on a dish, it was nice. That is a higher praise than most, but I feel it was appropriate for this dish. It wasn’t what I was expecting for a place with such high accolades. More like Korean Kalbi with Szechuan spice. Just a suggestion, maybe work on the presentation and add some coconut sugar to the marinade to balance out the flavor of the dish. It was served with an apple slaw that was also, nice, as it was the tangy acidic element to the dish. As the meat was spicy and the slaw tangy I was left yearning for that great balance of flavor great asian food has—spicy, sweet, tangy all in one bite.

I also had the lotus dumpling and that was delightful— maybe the same critique, just missing one thing, but I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The food was good and would definitely go back if I could find a nice date (almost impossible nowadays unless you pay upfront). Service was excellent and the ambiance made you feel warm and welcome. You should try this spot and order a lot more than I did to get a true experience of what this place has to offer.”

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!”
