“Returning to Washington from a France worn down by its own melancholy — a nation led by a presidential couple seemingly disconnected from l'esprit de grandeur — was a relief. The Monocle, nestled just a short pas de géant from Capitol Hill, felt like an antidote. Walking through its doors, I immediately felt transported, like one of the CIA operatives from Lioness Psy-Ops, covertly meeting allies in a safe haven of quiet luxury. Opened in October 1960 by Connie and Helen Valanos, The Monocle has seen more political deals sealed over its crab cakes than perhaps in the chambers of Congress themselves. As the Washingtonian noted, “The Monocle is a better restaurant than it’s given credit for,” serving dishes like “pan-fried Chesapeake Bay oysters baked in a light curry sauce” that feel like culinary diplomacy at its finest. What strikes one immediately is the duality of the space: half public house, half refined eatery. In the restaurant's more elegant quarters, I chose a glass of Sancerre, its mineral brightness pairing effortlessly with the signature crab cakes — plump, golden, and loaded with chair de crabe so sweet it could make a New Englander weep. A red wine-braised New York strip followed, its sauce reminiscent of the old-world simplicity one finds in France’s brasseries, yet undeniably American in its confident presentation. The maître d’, Nick Selimos — a fixture here for nearly three decades — greeted every guest with the kind of warmth that makes even the most hardened lobbyist feel comme chez soi. “There’s nothing more satisfying,” said John Valanos, the owner, “than having someone say, ‘We’ll come back ourselves.’” And come back they do — senators, staffers, and curious tourists alike. Sipping a digestif, I glanced at the black-and-white photos adorning the walls — Kennedy, Nixon, and other Washington titans. It’s said JFK dined here regularly during his Senate days. As The Washington Post humorously observed, "Intentions are spoken here, alliances formed, and deals sealed," all over dishes that balance simplicity and sophistication. Leaving The Monocle, I felt reconnected to the vibrancy of Washington, its pulse steadied by the legacy of places like this — where history, gastronomy, and a touch of joie de vivre blend into something unforgettable.“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“Exceptional throughout from the rooms to dining to sophisticated and attentive staff - thank you for having us.“

“The manager went above and beyond! I requested almond milk for my latte and they didn’t have any so she walked down the street and bought some 😊. The service was awesome and the food was phenomenal.“

“My wife and I had brunch on the patio at the White House location today and it was fantastic! We had a mezze platter appetizer, Havana sandwich and shakshuka & arepas entrees, and tres leches for dessert. All were spectacular, as was the service! Highly recommended!“

“This was my first time at Huncho House and it won't be my last. I took my wife for her birthday and my mother in law. This 5 star restaurant is amazing, awesome and outstanding. The atmosphere, food, drinks and wait time to be served were above excellence. The waitress Precious was awesome. She made the experience even better with her friendliness, smile and professionalism. The receptionist and other servers were also awesome. Hands down, this is the best dining experience I've had in a long time. I'm telling everyone about my experience at Huncho House...“

The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“I was visiting the DC area and wanted pizza, so I decided to try Matchbox. I love a meaty pizza, so I ordered The Pig, which was loaded with pepperoni, ham, sausage, salami, and bacon, and it was super cheesy! Most of the toppings were underneath the cheese. I chose a 10-inch pizza, which was a good size if you have a big appetite or want to share with a friend. The service was excellent; my waiter was very attentive. The space was clean, relaxed, and private enough for each party to enjoy their own area.“

“Delicious neighborhood haunt.“

“Lovely ambiance! We sat at the bar and had the three course menu. I was gluten free and the staff was so great about accommodating me! The food was very tasty with great flavors and texture. I really enjoyed all the courses. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert as well. The only downside was that we had been walking all day through the city and my phone had died. I was hoping they might be able to let me charge my phone briefly so we could get home but they were unable to do allow that.“

“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!“

“We had an outstanding experience at the Hard Rock Cafe thanks to our amazing servers, Winnie and Caesar. From the moment we sat down, they were both friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. They anticipated everything we needed, kept our drinks filled, and made great recommendations from the menu.

Their teamwork and upbeat energy really stood out — you could tell they enjoy what they do and take pride in providing excellent service. It made our visit feel special and fun, which is exactly what you want at Hard Rock!

A huge thank-you to Winnie and Caesar for making our meal such a great experience. We’ll definitely be back — and hope to sit in their section again!“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“This is where it’s at pregame DC defenders“

“We were here in April and stated that we would be back. The food is absolutely amazing. That's why we're back. Another melt in your mouth Filet is an understatement. This is a must visit for Dinner if you are in the DC area. It will not disappoint. Enjoy, Bon Appetit.“

“This is a must stop if you are in DC. An icon for decades, it never fails to impress. The location, the decor, the staff, the service, the kitchen, the food...all amazing and memorable. When searching for that special place, this is the one. Especially right now with the new menu items. The swordfish is AMAZING!“

“Thanks Bussboys for your hospitality during our group’s visit last Thursday . I traveled with my church choir (Tulane MB Church from Yazoo City, Ms). We dined in for breakfast and the food was AMAZING“

“Friends and I visited Tabard Inn for a birthday brunch celebration. We had a great table in the back with plenty of room for our very talkative, lots of laughter group. Absolutely wonderful food and service including a birthday card! The eggs benedict with crab was outstanding and reports were excellent on the Tabard Inn breakfast. The smoked cheesy grits were a hit as well. Very gracious and welcoming staff and a wonderful time was had by all. We definitely hope to return for another celebration or for just good food and atmosphere.“

“yummy“

“We meet friends here for brunch and 10 out of 10 experience. The servers were attentive and barely let out mimosas get halfway empty. The food was great and a large selection of items to choose from. I would definitely visit again when in the city.“

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
