“The Kabobs are wonderful!“

“Great live music venue - lovely community!“

“Waitress was very efficient and kind.“

“The most delicious Pho I’ve eaten around this area. The service was fast, Friendly and the food was delicious the atmosphere was very clean. Definitely coming back, and also can forget the price. Very reasonable and affordable. DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE!“

“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

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

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“Albi (Arabic for 'my heart') is one of the most high-octane dining experiences in D.C. The air smells of wood smoke and sumac, and the energy is kinetic. While it’s a Michelin-starred destination, it manages to feel like a lively, loud Arabic household where hospitality is the primary language.

• The 'Sofra' Experience: While the à la carte menu is great, the 'Sofra' is the specialist move. It’s a spontaneous, multi-course journey through the kitchen’s best seasonal plays. It’s a lot of food, so come hungry and ready for a family-style feast.

• The Hearth Table Secret: For the ultimate insider experience, book the Hearth Table. It’s a front-row seat to the literal fire. You sit steps away from the wood-burning hearth that anchors the kitchen. It’s an immersive, chef-curated look at the craft that most diners only see from across the room.

• Signature Orders: The Mushroom Hummus with 'pita balloons' (the fluffiest, steam-filled bread you'll ever see) is mandatory. Follow it with the Barbecue Lamb or the Sfeeha (meat pies). For dessert, the Brown Butter Knafeh with yogurt ice cream is a marvel of salt, sweet, and texture.“

“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! ;)“

“Amazing dishes. Chive cakes, marigold, Laos wine, the butterfly and hummingbird were delicious. The presentation on the pla tong ma was almost as good as the flavor. Aim helped us choose our dishes and provided excellent service.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Jab We Met Indian Kitchen was an awesome surprise — the food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with bold spices and great balance.

We stopped in during happy hour and loved the cocktails — creative, well-made, and a great value. The service was warm and attentive without being rushed, and the atmosphere felt relaxed enough to enjoy a long meal.

Whether you’re craving classic Indian dishes or just want a great spot for drinks and bites with friends, Jab We Met delivers. We’ll definitely be back!“

“While my lamb, veggies, and lentils were just ok, the service was so outstanding it absolutely made up for it. The owner is phenomenal and really goes the extra mile to make sure your experience is top notch. Also had the best hot tea (I gotta figure out this spice mix) and honey wine of my life. Samosas were fire!“

“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. 😊“

“Bistro Cacao was an outstanding choice to cater lunch for a very important business meeting. The food was AMAZING, from appetizers, salad, main course and dessert! Highly recommend them for your next event, meeting or just a fine place to dine!! Great Service, Great Food, Great Presentation!“

“Friendly, quaint and delicious food. Great service. What more do you need“

“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!“

“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.“

“it's about time! Mocktails are my jam these days. Thanks so much for opening a cool bar I don't have to worry about a drunk fight or gun shots breaking out.“

“Great place. Wish they would open a 2nd place at Liberty Exchange in Sykesville - 2 units still open for a nice coffee place (that isn’t Starbucks!) one is right next to Basta Pasta!!“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“My favorite place to get coffee in DC and a great neighborhood gem! They use counter culture coffee. I especially love their seasonal drink menu, and always crave their black and yellow coffee drink (lemonade and espresso). I’m not normally a sweet coffee person, but this place is an exception because of how well crafted their drinks are (think similar to a nice cocktail bar). I love that when you dine in, they include special toppings with their seasonal drinks. The place is cozy, well decorated, and the perfect place to catch up with a friend. Food and cocktails are great too - especially for a quick meal / breakfast / snack. My favorites are the sausage egg & cheese breakfast sandwich and ajiaco soup.“

“I am elated to have lunched in NAKED LUNCH! My three meals were scrumptious! The prices were great; therefore, I ordered three meals so that I could eat for the evening and the next day! The young lady who prepared my food was lovely, and the older gentleman was a delight. My green juice was absolutely amazing. I vlogged my experience for my YouTube channel.

I will definitely visit again whenever I am in the area.“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“Everything is fantastic!!! my favorite is Kung pao vegan chicken. This is best vegan food I have EVER had. It is worth the drive, the price and such a cool warm vibe. non vegans would not know the difference. very very good“

“This place is MOST AWESOMENESS! A definite must come eat!“

“Natives/Tourists/Passerby- Run, don't walk to the Lot 38 coffee shop! This must be your first pitstop in Navy Yard.

Do yourself a favor and skip those gross burnt bean chains with sketchy customer service where you feel like you're interrupting them as they forget your order. IYKYK.

Instead, head over to family-owned Lot 38, opened and operated by the sweetest folks who know the Navy Yard area well. Corner of L and 2nd SE on the same side of the street as the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott and across from the park.

The espresso brews fresh and the coffee drinks are consistently a 10/10. Lot 38 has breakfast and pastry options, both breakfast and lunch sandwiches too if you need a bit more filling bite with your brew to start the day's adventure. One of the friendliest places, this shop is always hopping and a fun community atmosphere. Even when it's packed, there's not a long wait for drinks or food. If you come by long enough they start to know your name and drink order. Good place to pop by, a nice (CLEAN!) place to meet up with your friends, or come by for a tea or coffee pick-me-up at the tables upstairs.

Start your day's adventure the best way at Lot 38 :)“

“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'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“Hands down the one of the best we’ve had! If you love meat, this place is definitely worth checking out. We got there on a Saturday morning and ran into a pretty decent line, but the staff were super friendly and it moved along quickly. Nothing beats meat that falls right off the bone and a steak that’s juicy and perfectly cooked.“

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

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“When I first moved to Capitol Heights, I assumed that I would have to travel far for vegetarian/vegan food or make it myself. And how surprised was I that there was a vegan restaurant down the road! Each day the menu changes, so you could have a favorite every day of the week. And the portions! You can make SEVERAL meals out of one dinner. Is it cheap? NOPE! But something that's good for your body AND soul shouldn't be.“

“Loved our visit and such a dining experience! You have to try it!! Cheers y’all“

“I love the staff and the food.“

“I want to recognize Sandra for her exceptional service at CAVA. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a welcoming attitude. She was attentive, patient, and made sure my order was prepared exactly the way I requested.“

“Food was Excellent.“

“The are a pick up/delivery only space! You MUST follow them on social media (@bizarrevegancuisine) to know when they’re cooking up something good and they do pop ups at your local vegan festivals. I absolutely love their vegan baked goods like their Blueberry Lavender cupcakes and Rose Cardamom cupcake ?! They have all gluten free and soy free options. You have to catch them when you can but when you do they do not dissapoint! Hoping they open up a stand alone store soon ??✨ Gratitudeee And the people are amazing by the way, you must have a conversation with atleast one of the two amazing owners of this place! Gratitude ?“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“Best eating experience I've had in DC. Yes, it's a bit of a dive spot - a hole in the wall with literal holes in the walls - but the food here is pure bliss. The menu is small but that's part of what makes it so good - you're here for the mussels, the frites (fries), and Belgian beer.“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“
