“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)“

“Great Happy Hour deals! Staff was super friendly and very accommodating of requests based on dietary restrictions (swapped out veggies for bread in pate appetizer). Burger was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Our Uber driver recommended St. Anselm, after the restaurant we planned on was closed. What a happy misfortune! From the quick phone call, answered by Lily, who cheerily said she could accommodate our party, to our amazing waiter Joe, the delicious food, wonderful atmosphere; this place is a DO NOT miss! I’m sad we live in FL and can’t be regulars!! St. Anselm, whatever you are doing, keep it up!!!“

“Invited by bartender Ana to check out Immigrant Food (Planet Word), I was curious to experience it for the first time.

I’m so glad she did.

From the moment my partner and I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, lively, upbeat, and inclusive.

We ordered the Greek Wings, The Cheeseburger, and Huevos Rancheros.

The Greek Wings were hot, crispy, meaty, and savory.

The Cheeseburger was a classic done well, topped with American cheese on a toasted sesame brioche bun and served with crispy Belgian fries.

The Huevos Rancheros featured eggs, Mexican chorizo, tortillas, refried black beans, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, and fresh garnishes. He said it was hearty, colorful, and packed with flavor.

Thank you, Ana, for the recommendation and warm welcome.

Between the inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food, my first visit was a memorable one.

I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.“

“From the cocktails to the service…our experience was top notch all around! Highly recommend!“

“Minibar went above and beyond our expectations. Due to health issues, we cannot drink alcohol and they curated special nonalcoholic drinks that paired perfectly with the exceptionally creative food!“

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊“

“I went with a friend to The Capital Burger on Newbury last week. The space was clean and comfortable, our server was really friendly, and the food came out fast. Great experience—I’d come back without a second thought.“

“My daughter and son-in-law treated me for my birthday and what a treat it was! From the birthday champagne treat to the special popcorn to the dessert and all meals in between—nothing disappointed. The food was delicious. Filet mignon prepared to perfection. Lamb chops, braised beef, shrimp—all delicious. The sides; I could go on. My husband also enjoyed his meal. Our particular teenaged granddaughter loved her chicken tenders. Even our 2 year old granddaughter enjoyed her kids meal. Definitely will return. This was our first time but it won’t be our last. And last but not least—our server, Micaiah, was the best. Her recommendations were on point. Top notch and so professional!“

“Excellent food & friendly / engaging staff“

“Nice atmosphere. Good drinks“

“The food was delicious, ambiance even better and service the best.
Stopped in here for brunch with a 1PM reservation on a Saturday. Party of three. We opted for bottomless mimosas (pineapple and cranberry). Our waitress(es) were a delight and attentive - Shoutout to DeLo! My two friends opted for the breakfast burrito while I had steak and eggs. The potatoes were seasoned well and the steak was cooked to my preferred doneness. Since it's a bistro they did not have steak sauce - however they offered me other options which included a mushroom gravy type sauce which paired so well with the steak. I would return just for that combination. I didn't see too many reviews for brunch so I wanted to provide some pictures for that. It's a small space with cute esthetic. It reminds me of a nice remote working coffee shop vibe. I cannot wait to return!“

“Pleasant and proficient staff“

“Amazing food! Great server and wait staff. Creative and unique. Would go again!“

“I have dined here several times with family and friends, including a former chef. We all have had excellent meals, and my chef friend informed me your lamb dish is a Michelin recipe and he said it's amazing. Thank you for your consistent excellence in food and service. Please continue to provide the Columbia area the highest quality and wonderful dining experiences. Cheers.“

“Could not recommend this place more! 10/10 - service was impeccable, food was amazing, and location was great. All you can eat brunch does not disappoint. They go above and beyond for their customers. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“In my 50 yrs of living on this earth, and have traveled abroad and tried many different places…my experience at The Dabney has been by far the best I’ve experienced. Everyone from host to chefs made me feel like a star. The bar staff, servers, the atmosphere, and the chefs!!! Top tier and would highly recommend!!! Not only was the service excellent…talk about hospitality on a 100! But the FOOD!!! I mean I would’ve been a happy camper just on the drinks from the bar (gotta try the FORWARD drink!! Whew!) and the service alone, but the FOOD?! We were treated to a five course, and every single bite, morsel that I tasted sent every bit of my taste buds to heaven!! I consider myself a picky eater but none of that mattered. If you’re a connoisseur of fine dining…you CANNOT miss THE DABNEY! I salute the CHEFS!!“

“We loved having dinner so much on Friday night that we had lunch on Saturday! Lobster roll was delicious. Great selection of raw oysters. PEI mussels were the best! Service was on point. Friday night Ashley was great and sorry I didn’t get our great servers name on Saturday. Manager Ronald Vasquez was so personable and made us feel like regulars. Wish we lived a bit closer because we would be. Highly recommend!“

“We came here after the nationals game and Dylan was our server and it was his best experience ever. My husband had the liver and onions and I had the cob salad and it was delicious. My sister-in-law had the avocado salad. I would come here at 10 out of 10 a time every single time and don’t forget to ask for Dylan as your waiter. It was amazing. And order the Mojito!“

“I have chicken wings ring ring Chris Rock they would really really good I had a good time there“

“​The food here genuinely hit the spot, but the surcharge and tipping setup at the end left a bit of a sour taste.
​We ordered a solid spread across the table:
​Steak Frites: Cooked just right, tender, and the herbaceous chimichurri sauce added great flavor. The fries were hot, golden, and crispy.
​Chicken Pasta: Rich, creamy sauce balanced nicely by the capers and fresh lemon squeeze, with generous portions of chicken.
​Caesar Salad: Crisp romaine, plenty of parmesan, and crunchy croutons—classic and refreshing.
​Ted's Tart: The nostalgic rainbow sprinkles with whipped cream made for a fun, sweet finish to the meal.
​The real frustration came with the check. Between the added service fee/surcharge and the prompt for standard tipping on top of that, the final bill felt disproportionately high for casual neighborhood dining. Hidden fees stacking up on top of regular menu prices takes away from what would have otherwise been an easy 4- or 5-star meal.
​Great kitchen output, but management really needs to rethink the fee creep.“

“The tagine was excellent. Central has a fantastic wine list, and it so pleasant to sit outside on Pennsylvania Avenue and people watch.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service from Will. Food was tasty and very good portions. Memorable and will recommend to friends.“

“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.“

“Good breakfast and fun with the juke boxes.“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“We ate at Matchbox and highly recommend it! The food was excellent, and our waiter, Jose, provided wonderful service. It’s always a good sign when locals recommend a place—and this one definitely lived up to it.“

“Great service, delicious food, and an amazing atmosphere!“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“Amazing service at the Bar!!! Thanks to the Sistah.. with the Locks .. my and my bestie enjoyed for friendliness, cool personality, recommendations on food choices and drinks.

“Penne Pasta with Pork Bolognese Crispy Lemongrass Chicken Caramelized Cauliflower It tastes good. The environment is nice“

“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!“

“Food and service were 10/10. The food was delicious. I want to go back and try the entire menu. Portions sizes were good and filling.“

“Big Bear was the best wedding venue we could have asked for. Between the atmosphere, the staff, Bri Hartmann, the amazing Event Manager, our night was beautiful. Bri made us feel so important throughout the entire process, she kept us informed, listened to our vision, and kept us calm as we tried not to freak out about the weather. And even beyond the basics, Big Bear made sure that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Big Bear was incredibly accommodating to the various accessibility needs of our guests, and never once made us feel like a burden. The venue is beautiful, especially in the spring and we got so many compliments about how perfect the space was for us, how delicious the food was (especially the cookies), and how well executed every detail was. Being able to have our ceremony and reception in one incredible spot was truly the icing on the (wedding) cake. Big Bear was prepared with a rain plan that worked for us and we cannot recommend it enough.“

“My son and I dined here July 4th holiday for my birthday. I was quickly impressed by the enthusiasm of the staff. My compliments to staff and cook as well as the owners.“

“Food is good and menu has something for everyone. The best part is the staff. Anna is an awesome server. She has taken care of our family a few times and she always remembers us and our preferences. She is great with kids. The last time my daughter and I were there she had another table with a couple that had a baby. She took care of them seamlessly while juggling everyone else.“

“Bottomless brunch is worth it. You get the ability to sample the entire brunch menu (small plates), you get access to open buffet (pancakes, French toast, potatoes, bacon, etc). Mimosa tower is worth it as well for 2 people. For $25, a full pitcher. Enough for 6-8 full mimosas.“

“I didn't try there food this go around ,!!! BUT CHOI & MIKE WAS THE BEST PERSON THAT I could of came across during this go around 🙏🏼 I REALLY APPRECIATE BOTH OF THEM FOR THERE HIGH QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE“

“The service was amazing and the food was good.“

“People bring their kids to this bar?? Food was pretty good, but night of our visit one guy, the bartender was waiting on the entire room. Kids screaming and crying. Uninviting atmosphere. It was a rainy hot humid Sunday evening. Not a place to bring crying kids. We left early, because of this. Too bad, because we would've stayed longer & ordered more. I felt sorry for the bartender.“

“Not sure if I have not posted about The Yard House yet but it’s one of my favorite restaurants, great beer selections, great menu, I think I’ve tried everything and nothing ever disappoints. Every one I’ve been to, Boston Fenway, Fontana California, Lawnside, NJ, American Dream Mall, everyone is great. Great music, the perfect volume too. Never had a bad waiter or waitress.“

“Please come out October the 29th for the Halloween Sip&Paint party the cost is $50.00 per adult“
