“I have been to this place about 10 years ago by one of my golf members who was an army veteran. My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“My husband friend and I needed an early dinner near Adams Morgan so i did a quick search and found Ceibo. It was fantastic! The mushroom appetizer and the eggplant appetizer were both amazing. We all ordered the black cod entree. It was stupendous. Ill definitely return.“

“Seasons was superb, as usual, food, service, ambience. this restaurant is consistently excellent! the one thing I criticize is not something they can affect: the convoluted Scan and Pay for Parking at Tysons Corner Center is a cheap, exasperating, mess. did Tysons really need to have customers pay for parking at premium times?! Cheap!!“

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

“Almost every dish is the right choice for you. Enough choices that you will be planning your return while you enjoy your dinner. Wine list is extensive with a few inexpensive choices to add wine to your meal. The staff is well trained and engaging. They make your evening better. Of course desserts are perfect taste size to finish your night.“

“Service is amazing. Friendly and efficient staff. Hotel is charming .“

“We really loved this location. Local cider option made me happy, and the drink menu was excellent. The food options were varied, hot all of our desires. It's higher level than many other chains. Had poke nachos and pad Thai for our main dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them.“

“I came here once for happy hour with my job and was greatly impressed by the food and customer service. I returned today on my lunch break and was treated so wonderfully by Selam! Her customer service was imaculate and made me want to come back everyday for my lunch break!“

“Outstanding in dining experience. I then had Mazi prepare a platter of meatballs for a House Parry that was a major hit ! A new go to restaurant in DC“

“All of the staff were super friendly. We definitely felt under dressed. I got the eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. There wasn't much hollandaise sauce, so it was a bit dry and the Smoked Salmon was strong. Their potatoes and veggies needed seasoning. My daughter enjoyed her french toast. For basic Brunch, it was pricey. Not everything they offer is on the menu, we had to ask about juice and coffee.“

“Great experience, most of the food was absolutely delicious but the portions aren’t huge (as expected). The Kinship name on the door is almost undetectable, speak-easy vibes to the entrance. The service was impeccable, the decor is minimalist and not too cozy (very subjective of course). The beef tongue appetizer was as our favorite dish. Prices are pretty reasonable for the high end restaurant.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

“This was our first experience at District Bistro. The atmosphere is quiet and enjoyable. The food was very good. We shared two "small plates," as well as a main entree. We enjoyed all that we had. It's a shame, however, that the restaurant uses cheap cutlery and napkins that are too small to be useful. The forks and knives looked like they were from a dollar store, uncomfortable to hold and the knife was not up to cutting even the lettuce in our salads. The napkin was so small it didn't even cover part of my lap. This really detracted from what was otherwise a very enjoyable meal.“

“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!“

“Great service! Very accommodating staff“

“I had the Persian bowl ( or something
Like it) and the mushroom soup. Sorry I can’t provide pics cause I wanted to enjoy the full experience. Both plates excelled in presentation and flavors. They blew my mind; specially the mushroom soup. It was amazing! I also like that the Persian bowl was a feature by an Iranian chef recently arrived to the country. The ambience and service were outstanding as well. And I loved that I could, for once, speak Spanish without feeling intimidated.“

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

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

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“Excellent dinner: Moules Marinières and Salade Niçoise and an inexpensive and tasty Bordeaux.“

“Took my friend here for his birthday. The manager and her staff, my waiter William, were EXCELLENT ! They brought out a small cake with candle and a card signed by all of the on duty staff. You guys are amazing! Thank you for making the night special for my friend. Peace & Blessings in 2026. ~Solomon“

“Nice atmosphere. Good drinks“

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

“My classmates and I were coming here for happy hour and I called just to give them a heads up that a large group was coming. The manager went above and beyond and blocked off a section of the restaurant for us so that we could mingle and enjoy each other without disturbing other guests. The service was excellent and the food deals really can’t be beat. I recommend this location to everyone!“

“I know I take terrible pictures but this DC restaurant lived up to the hype…excellent food and drinks, delivered hot and timely and the wait staff was on point. I have to thank my Facebook group and work friends for the recommendation….bonus points, it’s 6 blocks down the street.“

“Restaurant week special 3 courses for $34. Lots of servers and managers walking around making themselves available to fulfill diner's needs. I wanted fried clams - no substitutions from set menu - was able to have that dish in addition to.“

“For lunch, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad, featuring fresh tuna sashimi served with seaweed salad, avocado, arugula, and shrimp roe, all drizzled with a savory sauce and topped with refreshing diced cucumber. The dish was absolutely perfect!

My partner ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken, which was also quite delicious. The dining environment was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended!“

“One of my favorite DC cafes! The breakfast sandwich and burrito are delicious, the coffee is great (+ they free refills), and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve come here after morning workouts with big groups and they are so accommodating. They have great indoor and outdoor space and it’s the perfect place to hang out or get some work done. Highly recommend!“

“We had an excellent experience at Medium Rare. The staff was extremely attentive, the food was delicious. It was fresh, hot and generous portions- both times! The servers were particularly were extremely aware of dietary restrictions and even comped us two glasses of champagne as we were celebrating an anniversary. Because of how thoughtful and professional everyone at Medium Rare is, it is a favorite place for celebrations - or just because we want to.“

“This was an impromptu drop in and we were pleasantly surprised! They were super busy and we didn't have a reservation. The weather was amazing so we decided to eat outside. The waiter was courteous and prompt. The food was good! The Hibiscuss Citrus drink was the star of this story. We would like to come again!“

“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!“

“The best experience I have ever had at a restaurant! food was amazing and the staff made us feel like we were regulars! would recommend 1000 times over!“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“Great with food allergies/dietary restrictions and super accommodating. Highly suggest!“

“Chef Eric Ziebold did an amazing job of presenting Virginia’s southern style in an elegant way! All ingredients are local! You can easily find the southern spirit in each dish! And they are so refined!“

“This place is amazing! The smash burger is my favorite with the truffle fries. It gives an upscale sports bar feeling. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. When you go ask for Marlon and Diana! I’ll be going back the next time I’m in DC for sure!“

“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.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Stopped for a cool-down beer in the heat today. Just had a couple drinks, no food, but Quai was awesome with drink suggestions and made it a great pit stop on our walk. 10/10 would get slightly tipsy here 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.“

“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!“

“Nice place and Sol Roots Trio performance was excellent!“

“Some friends rented out the bistro for their wedding party and it was the perfect space. The party was so intimate and perfect for the celebration. The food and drinks were fantastic, I’m still dreaming about the sliders that were served. I can’t wait to come back to town and try the restaurant on a regular night. The owner was fantastic as well. Highly recommend Cynthia’s!!“
