“To describe my experience in a word, Perfection! I have a favorite waiter, Gabby, and he makes sure that the experience is perfect. Tonight's delicious meal consisted of French onion soup, veal chop, Parmesan truffle fries and cheesecake. It was all cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is upscale and welcoming. I highly recommend Capital Grill in Bethesda.“
“The modern creativity expressed here is certainly deserving of the Michelin star they have. We had 8 different dishes/tastes plus an amuse bouche and all were impressive. Rania also has an excellent wine list and a group of house conceived cocktails that are unique. Service was knowledgeable and timely throughout. Can't wait to return!“
“Visited this place in DC last weekend with family and it's the best! The pre-dinner bar experience was delightful with excellent martinis. The waiter made it special by asking about our celebration. With a party of seven, we tried different entree's and everyone was impressed with the quality and portions size. The waiter was helpful with menu suggestions. We felt right at home 10/10, definitely coming back !“
“I have not only travelled to Thailand, but studied Thai cuisine and also attended cooking classes. This place is the REAL DEAL!!!! Not your run of the mill pad thai place. More northern cuisine if you are familiar with it, think Chang Mai. Everything is out of this world, great bar and drinks, friendly and warm staff that attends to your every need.“
“One of my favorite restaurants! They have incredible options for gluten and dairy-free diners. Veggies instead of bread for dips, homemade almond yogurt to replace any yogurt in entrees. We had the mini tasting menu and there were very few adjustments needed. Absolutely delicious, especially the squash side, the lamb chops, the chicken in yogurt-based sauce, the rice with carrots and raisins, and tasty cocktails. Warm, cozy ambiance with a frequent sitar player.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten feee options and many dairy-containing options can be made dairy-free using their homemade almond yogurt.“
“Oyster Oyster offers a delightful culinary journey celebrating sustainability and creativity. The menu, focusing on plant-based cuisine, presents a diverse array of dishes showcasing seasonal ingredients. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. The service is attentive and knowledgeable.“
“This is a gem of a spot in Cleveland Park! I discovered it one day and now I’m a regular and have started bringing my friends. Who all have said they wanna come back. The restaurant is small, but intimate and the food is amazing. The Scallops are a must try. Every time I’ve gone and sat at the bar and have always had an amazing experience. Kyle & Victor are so knowledgeable on their wines and just make the experience 10x better. The playful pairings on the menu are also another highlight and a lot of fun. Definitely a spot worth checking out!“
“Checked out San Lorenzo for the first time the other night - I have been in DC for years, but just recently moved to the Shaw neighborhood and had heard good things about this spot. Christina the GM was super friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcome and the bartender I spoke to, Efron, gave some great menu recommendations. The Seafood Linguine was fantastic! Will absolutely be back.“
“St Vincent is consistently a slice of heaven here on earth and my favorite “good in the hood”. The service, ambiance, bites and vino are unmatched. And now that there is live music in the garden, it is in a league of its own. The pop up with the Eritrean chef a few weeks ago was a pleasant little twist and I look forward to more of these curated experiences. This is my go to happy place—-home away from home and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Great date place or just gathering spot with your friends.“
“Second time to Ceibo and it once again did not disappoint. Start first with the excellent, interesting, and perfectly made craft cocktails. Next move on to the food, everything is exceptional and intriguing. It's hard not to order the entire menu. You can't quite place the food concept; part Latin flavors, part Italian, part Asian, but how this team has put it together just works. Each dish is beautifully plated and with appropriate portions for a filling meal. Everyone reported their dishes to be both delicious and unexpected. One of the most exciting food experiences in DC right now. Last, the restaurant itself is minimalist, but reminded me of a hip restaurant in Mexico City. The tables are nicely spaced apart so you don't feel you are eating with your neighbors and the noise level is lively but not loud, so you can have a relaxed conversation with your dinner mates. The dining space is split between an upper level and a lover level. The bar is on the lower level, so feels a bit more lively than the upper level. All around a wonderful experience and a fantastic addition to the AdMo/DC dining scene.“
“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“
“I got the private room with my friends, and really enjoyed the brunch here. The three-egg omelet was delicious with the chicken sausage and the cheese, but I do wish that tomatoes were offered as a topping. It would give a nice acidic taste to the omelet. The servers were very nice and offered to take pictures for my party. The aesthetic here is also really nice. Overall, highly recommend for brunch.“
“I stopped by on a Wednesday for lunch based on the reviews I saw here. I was more than satisfied. The staff are friendly, the decor and atmosphere is clean, comfortable and stylish, and the pizza is fantastic. I wish I could give them more than five stars!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian toppings. They also can do dairy free if you are vegan.Dietary restrictions: They told me that they have multiple dairy-free options.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy street level access and handicapped bathroom.“
“What a sweet wine spot! We came just before close on a Sunday and I am so glad we stumbled in! The small shop is bright and airy with high ceilings. Their tiled bar seating seats at least 10 people, with tables up in the front near the entrance for larger groups. There were also 2 seater high tops in the back that people were reading books at while enjoying glasses of wine. The service - amazing! The two people behind the bar knew all about their wines and were able to suggest some glasses to us off their Women in Wine list for March. I liked that while the rest of their wine list was from your typical wine producing regions, their Women in Wine selections were more local. They also do events and try to incorporate themselves into the community since they're local - so really a great local wine and cheese bar! They also have a wine and cheese subscription - it looked amazing and pretty affordable, too. They also just recently opened a spot in Union Market - I can't wait to check them out there!“
“Great experience with friendly staff providing excellent customer service. Charles and Symage were helpful to select wines that meet the different tastes of each member in our party. Salute board and lamb sliders were wonderful. Cute spot for a date night or girls night out.“
“Christina is the Best! She so pleasant and nice. She could run the entire Resturant. She’s always smiling. Knows everyone by name. Knows most regulars drinks and just super pleasant! Always great to see her and drink my morning caffeine drink.“
“A+ for service and atmosphere! The live music/flamenco dancing was vibrant and delightful. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was a hit or miss. For the tapas, the whisky pork tenderloin with potatoes was cooked well but the sauce had an odd tang to it. It may be an acquired taste and not for everyone. The grilled eggplant was soggier than expected and I don’t think I’ll get it next time. The Serrano ham and manchego cheese appetizer on the other hand, was absolutely scrumptious! The chicken and seafood paella (the reason why we chose this restaurant) was a big let down…the dish was way too salty and I couldn’t fully enjoy it without downing water. The chicken and mussels/clams however, were tender and cooked well. The churros and chocolate dip for dessert were divine.“
“We had heard great things about this restaurant and decided to celebrate a special occasion there some time ago. We absolutely loved it.The French onion soup was perfect, and the crab bisque was creamy and delicious. Our steak was cooked exactly as we had requested - medium well and juicy inside. We appreciated the classic interior decor, and the service was good. Overall, the experience was unforgettable.Parking: Although it has a free parking lot, it fills up fast, especially on the weekends.“
“Great small jazz venue. Ok to go in solo. Better if you go with a significant other or group. The jazz was amazing. The acoustics are exceptional in the space. The Big Bass player did his thing last night. Service for a jazz club was fast with food and drinks. The flavors were on point.“
“The food is exceptional here - such unique and authentic dishes that are out of this world! The service is also amazing - it has a very family feel and everyone I've met is just so kind. I travel to Rockville monthly for work and will come back every time!!“
“UPDATE: We've had a few let downs with the take out and don't order nearly as frequently anymore. Nothing terrible, but just not as good as it used to be.Original: A staple of my take-out habit. Consistently delicious. Great place for a date.“
“This place made for the perfect Valentine's weekend night out. The atmosphere is sophisticated, romantic and elegant. The food and wine are excellent and the service is superb. My boyfriend and I had a lovely night. Thank you, Vin Sur Vingt!“
“I love this spot. The wines are delicious and affordable, the owners are the type who work at the restaurant/ shop and are available for any questions or concerns. One note is that the food is a bit eccentric— very French but with a twist. So check out the menu before you come or if you like more traditional dishes, maybe eat at home!“
“I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Bill Cribbin. His professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor set the bar high for dining experiences. Bill went above and beyond to ensure my visit was memorable, making it an absolute pleasure to dine at the restaurant. The food was impeccable as well.“
“Our visit to La Canela was truly phenomenal! The flavors of the food were simply incredible, and the portions were generous. I opted for the Seco de Cabrito (Lamb shank) while my wife savored the Arroz con Mariscos (seafood rice). To start, we enjoyed the Agua de Tigre appetizer, which set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. Every dish we tried was exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. It's safe to say that we will be returning to La Canela without hesitation to indulge in more of their delicious offerings. It was a culinary experience worth repeating!“
“Great overall experience! Sean made our experience even better by serving perfect drinks and laughter. Food was amazing and we will be back. Thanks Sean for staying on top of our orders and taking the time to make sure we enjoyed our time there.“
“I absolutely adore this place! We ordered wine, the cheese board and I had the Toked Goat Chicken Sandwich with tomato soup. Everything was absolutely delicious and I loved the flavor combination of the sandwich. The ambience is lovely - perfect for a date or girl's night. They also serve brunch, which I'll most certainly be returning for.“
“We recently discovered this hidden gem, and we were absolutely thrilled with everything! Can’t wait yo try their Sunday brunch!For my kid's birthday party, we decided to order from Emi Rossi, and the pies were a huge hit with all the guests. It's easily our favorite pizza place so far!“
“For all the wine enthusiasts out there, Easy Company is a must-visit spot. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing their happy hour, and it was nothing short of fantastic. Their happy hour menu boasts a solid selection of wines, including Prosecco rose, Sauvignon blanc, Riesling, Malbec, and Merlot, all priced at just $10 per glass. Each wine was impeccably chosen and expertly served, making for a delightful tasting experience. Whether you prefer a crisp white or a bold red, Easy Company has something to satisfy every palate. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a glass of your favorite wine. I cannot recommend Easy Company enough to fellow wine lovers. With its stellar happy hour menu and charming atmosphere, it's sure to become your new favorite spot in town. Cheers“
“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here! It was a little busy and loud but can be expected on a Saturday night.Something to note if its your first time visiting, the host/hostess is located in front of the bar and not at the entrance, so just walk on in and check in at the bar area.We ordered the Deviled Eggs, Gougeres, Mussels, Duck and Steak. Drinks were Kentucky Rose (with ice) and Como La Flor, however the latter may no longer be served for Spring season. Dessert was the bread pudding, if I had to be picky it would have been nice to have a sauce or more of the caramel drizzle as it was a little dry.Everything was VERY good but maybe the Mussels and Gougeres win for best in show!!! Looking forward to next visit!Kid-friendliness: not really, but I dont have kids“
“Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. My mom and I love french food and we had to check out this new place in town. First off the service went the extra mile to help us get a extra seat on a busy Sunday. Their reservationist without a doubt one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Definitely made us feel good before even walking in the door. We got some Bloody Marys to start. It was well balanced and we requested it extra spicy and it was. Well balanced and flavorful. My mom got the Quiche it was big and served with a side salad. She said it was very good rich and flavorful. She had to finish it because it was that good. It was well balanced with the mixed green salad adding freshness to the meal. I got the steak sandwich it was really good. Had a ton of flavor and the steak was tender. Coked mid rare which is the way I like it. The cheese was super gooy and rich. Bread was perfectly crispy and airy. It held its form even with all the drippings from the steak. Fries served with it were crispy and well seasoned. Our friend got a classic French omelette which was served with home fries. She said it was good but more plane than she was expecting. The interior is classic french restaurant looks fantastic. Overall a delicious meal cant wait to try the dinner menu another time.“
“My servers name was Andrew, and he was Fabulous!! His personality mixed with attentiveness and knowledge of spirits, makes him a top notch asset to this restaurant.....Food, drinks, and ambiance made this experience unforgettable. This along with the 5 star service I received from Andrew will definitely make me a repeat guest. And it doesnr hurt that he's handsome!“
“We sat at the bar opening week, but the bartender, Meti, and the kitchen staff made it seem like they'd been open for months! The drinks were super tasty and creative and the food was all outstanding. The Reel Deal is a neat concept where you choose a piece of fish and it comes with some set sides. It is a great value and I love that the fish are all sustainably sourced. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to return!!!“
“The Eastern is just a couple of blocks from my daughter and son-in-law and is our go to place when we visit them in DC. They have a fabulous menu, however, we love the small shareable plates. The pork sliders, glazed carrots and pimento cheese dip are wonderful. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive and always ready to suggest a wine to pair with our food. We love the atmosphere and the local vibe and are warmly greeted like old friends. Love this place.“
“Zen is my "go to" place in Arlington. Cozy, intimate wine bar that's attached to Asia Bistro, a traditional Asian fusion restaurant. The staff and management are friendly, personable, and always a pleasure to chat with, which is why Zen has such a large cadre of reglars.“
“My friend had her baby shower upstairs, and I fell in love with the place. I’d driven by it many times, but had never gone in. I was surprised by how cozy and welcoming the space was. There was a ton of meter parking right out front. The woman who helped us plan the shower was Kelly. She is AMAZING! She was sooo helpful and very professional. I made sure to save her info for our next event! Wonderful experience all around.“
“Simply put, one of the 10 best wine bars I’ve ever been to in my life. Brent is amazing, knowledgeable, fun, and really cares about the wines he curates and your understanding of them. He knows and cares about his regulars — and newbies. There’s no better wine experience in DC - and it’s not close.“
“First time visiting DC came across this restaurant. Did not have a reservation so i was placed on a 20-25 mins wait list. I was pleasantly taken to my table by the manager after he noticed my discomfort with the host up front because he said he called our names and we didn’t answer and skipped our names and didn’t want to let us in. Overall, food was amazing the restaurant is beautiful, my waitress was very polite and professional. The only hiccup was the host! Needs more costumer service experience.“
“They're doing an excellent job of carrying the torch in a spot that has served as a neighborhood staple coffee shop for decadesBeware, they've found major traction on social media over the last year or so, and are well-deservedly extremely crowded every weekend morning as a result“
“Idlywood is a favorite spot for dinner. The service is excellent, with a good selection of wines and an atmosphere that permits conversation at normal speaking levels. We tried a couple of new dishes as well as a favorite appetizer (shrimp ajo) and salmon Caesar. We haven't been disappointed in any of the salmon selections. The branzino is also a favorite. The chicken parmesan, a new item , was especially good. Highly recommended.“
“Came for a drink and the bar is pretty cool. I came by myself and the service was fast and friendly. They have beers on tap, all kinds of alcohol and snacks - make sure you are not hungry when you come in. The setting is great, downstairs, large bar, lots of seating. Definitely a fun place to get a drink even on a Sunday night.“
“What a hidden gem. Have wanted to stop by first some time and glad I did. The owner was there and was unbelievable in making you felt welcome. Enjoyed some conversation with her and others and also had plenty of quiet time to enjoy a book I was reading. It was the perfect mix where people know how to treat everyone else around. Had 2 gallses on Red - 1 that I picked and one the owner recommended. Both were great and price is on point for the quality but a stel for the location, service, and atmosphere.“
“I had to leave a review for the great charcuterie they sent when I ordered on Uber eats. I needed something quick to take to a friend's after work. It arrived wonderfully arranged, in a pizza box so that nothing would get jumbled in transit, and the meats and cheeses were fresh, yummy and accompanied with fresh fruit as well as a few apricots and spreads. They even wrote a quick thank you on the box! Made me want to visit the wine bar in person someday.“
“I enjoyed a quick dinner solo before grabbing a flight home. Everything was truly excellent. I enjoyed the aramanagc old fashioned, burgundy escargot and braised short rib. I'd highly recommend Chez Billy if you're visiting Georgetown.“
“I've been coming here for years with my friends for birthdays and just hangout. I like the ambiance, the food, and the staff. Melissa is our go to waitress, absolutely love her patience, kindness, attention, and professionalism. It's really nice that they revise their menu a little to match the season!“
“Whether it is date night with friends or just the two of us... This place is one of my favorites. It has a quaint and romantic ambiance. Not a place to rush through dinner! I love to start with a cocktail favorite, an Old Fashioned created in an old fashioned manner. Always like to try two or three apps, not the ones you click on, but marvelous morsels of goodness! Move on to a plateful of rich, delicious pasta, then pause. Toast to life after the pandemic with apropos Posecco. Slowly, indulge in the made-in-house Tiramisu...mmmmm. Need I continue?“
“We had the best time bringing a huge party here. The pizza was awesome, and my kids LOVED the fries. But actually the best part was the service and staff. It was A LOT to feed our crew and everyone did it with a smile and kindness. Go here and support this great place!“
“What a great addition to Capitol Hill-- delicious food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices. I'm going to get some friends together soon to check out the upstairs open air patio (with heater if needed). So far I've enjoyed the salmon entre and the delicious--and authentic--lobster roll. There's lots more on the menu for me to check out!“
“Larger than it looks from the outside, this is a down to earth french restaurant. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Before you make a decision on your meal, wait to hear what the specials -- we had a few at our table that made last-minute changes! We had a white Rhone wine that was delicious. The servings are tasty and ample. The upstairs Is a little quieter, although while lively, it id not overly noisy in any location“
“Uncorked is my go-to spot for wine shopping. With its extensive selection of varieties and reasonable prices, it's a win-win. The Friday wine tastings are a fantastic bonus; just give them a call to confirm. Patrick, possibly the manager, is a gem - knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready with perfect wine suggestions tailored to my preferences. The ambience is casual, welcoming and friendly. You can get small bites or drink wine in the store at the bar or tables nearby. They also have events like trivia and live music. Uncorked is more than just a wine store; it's a treasure trove of wine wisdom. Whether I'm stocking up on bottles or expanding my palate at tastings, Uncorked never disappoints. Highly recommend for both novices and connoisseurs alike.“
