“Excelente ambiente , deliciosa cerveza artesanal lo mejor que he probado, muy amables todo el equipo de trabajo. Nice 😊 excelente lugar para relajarse con amigos ,tomar cerveza Y cenar.“

“This place is amazing. The servers show you pictures of what is the special. The sangria was so good and don’t get me started on the calamari and crab dip. The pasta was also delicious. The chef is also so nice and came out to talk to us. I will be back here!“

“I’m new to eating an actual meal at Java Nation (usually, I just grab coffee)… and boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the quality of today’s Honey Pear Beet Salad with Grilled Salmon. Slices of perfectly ripened Bosc Pear perched atop a bed of creamy Goat Cheese Fondue and crisp Mixed Greens, the plate jeweled with both Red and Golden Beets, Toasted
Almonds, and Red Onion; drizzled with Hot Honey and Apple Cider
Vinaigrette. And the Salmon was just as expertly prepared… the edges crisped, but the interior still silky. Wow, just WOW… I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“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.“

“The food was good and I have already recommended Moon Rabbit to others. That being said, we had the tasting menu and I wanted something with a little more of a kick a little more heat and maybe just a little bit more or an additional course.“

“Agora DC made my husband’s surprise birthday dinner party one to remember! From the superior customer service and professionalism of their special events management team, including Tsednia Abay, to the Michelin Star-worthy food and service, no detail was left untouched. Thank you to your entire team!😍“

“Always a DC favorite for hosting and client dinners — your team consistently creates a great experience.“

“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!“

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).“

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“The food tastes as great as it is creative. We got the Filipino fried chicken, Greek chicken wings, Belgian fries, charred Brussel sprouts, and shrimp ceviche. All portions more than met the price point, and the flavors were amazing. Complex but finely woven in a way that didn't interfere with enjoying the other foods ordered. The vibe is fun yet relaxing and the service was timely and professional.“

“came to this restaurant for the first time and I got the Thai iced tea, tom kha soup and Mango sticky rice it was Super good and they were able to make alterations upon my request. The restaurant is super cute and the waiters Danny and Vinny were super sweet and attentive. Will be back“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“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 :)“

“Excellent restaurant from all angles, a new DC/ Georgetown favorite.

The decor brightened an otherwise gloomy and stormy day. The service was efficient and friendly. Menu labeled for dietary restrictions and can ask server for help. The food (brunch prix fixe with burrata (no bread) and steak eggs) had the right flavors to waken the palate and satisfy the soul and the stomach. Kudos to the right amount of salt on each dish to highlight all the deliciousness. Cantaloupe to Spain was a balanced cocktail with unique flavors and smooth to drink.

Overall a memorable brunch experience and I'll be recommending to friends in and out of DC. Look forward to coming back.“

“We had such a great experience at Yume! The food was delicious, but what really made our visit special was Hermella. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We’ll definitely be back, and hopefully we get Hermella again! She is a true asset to Yume. Highly recommend! 🍣❤“

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.“

“Nice atmosphere . Troy was a great host/server.“

“I had the best experience hosting my party at Turo Bar! The team truly went above and beyond to help plan and execute everything perfectly. They were so communicative, helpful, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process.

I shared my theme, and Gabriela and her team brought it to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, they provided so many decorations and completely transformed the space. I’m so grateful for the amazing team at Turo Bar and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a special event!“

“On vacation from RI, my husband and I and very good friends had lunch at Lily’s just this past week and we fully enjoyed experience! It was a beautiful sunny day, and we were greeted with sunny faces and a friendly, highly professional staff. We sat in the outdoor area and everything from being there to fill our water glasses and explaining the menu was covered. I highly recommend Lily’s if not just for the fact that we felt like we were at home but to top it off, the food was delicious. Try the Tropical salad and the meatball appetizer!!“

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“We went to hear the band and try the cuisine. The band (Ambience) and the food were excellent!“

“Thank you so much for having my friends Kristina, Alex and I for dinner today. I just want to say that everything we had was great, my favorite being the la calabrese! Meiling took such good care of us, she is a wonderful host and we had some great conversations with her. We’ll def be back in the future to try some of the other pizzas. Your decor and ambience is fantastic as well, I really felt like I was at restaurant in Italy! Keep up the good work and thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere. The bartenders were also super chill and make really creative drinks. Recommend the honey wine!“

“We chose Bistro du Jour at the Royal Sonesta because we needed an ADA-accessible restaurant and bathroom, convenient parking, delicious food, a sophisticated atmosphere for a family dinner, and a place where we could actually have a conversation. Boy, did they deliver! The space is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous floral arrangements that deserve an 11/10. The lounge area behind the bar is particularly sexy and charming—an excellent spot for a date night. The restaurant, service, and ambiance were all lovely, but the food exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality and setting. The menu offered some intriguing options, including raspberry macarons with chicken liver and fig jam, alongside classic French favorites like escargot, bouillabaisse, steak frites, and boeuf bourguignon. Our party of eight happily devoured everything and thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. It can be difficult to find a restaurant that combines accessibility, an elegant atmosphere, excellent service, outstanding food, and reasonable prices. Bistro du Jour checked every box. This is a restaurant we will happily return to again and again. Highly recommended for a special family dinner, a romantic evening, or anyone looking for a lovely French dining experience in DC!“

“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!“

“I'm from Texas and have been dying to find a breakfast taco spot. I might as well have been in my mom's kitchen, eating tacos on a Sunday morning. that's how amazing La Tejana tacos are!“

“Work has taken me from Arkansas to New York and now Maryland, and even though I don’t usually have much time to explore, I always try to find a good coffee spot. ☕

TikTok search sent me to Vigilante Coffee in Hyattsville and it did not disappoint. The coffee was so good I literally had to order a second one. 🤭 The service was very welcoming, the kind of place you’re glad you stumbled across.

Definitely one of my favorite finds while traveling for work. 🤎☕“

“If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.“

“First visit; I went for Restaurant Week. I ordered the chicken corn chowder, the short rib ravioli and the caramel cheesecake. The chowder was excellent, a great balance of corn and chicken and a goodly amount--but not too much--pepper. I loved it...and a very generous portion! The ravioli was super too--cooked to perfection, stuffed to capacity with cheese, accompanied by a nice hunk of well-seasoned and -cooked short rib. I wasn't able to finish it, so I took some home. I took the cheesecake home too and ate it after a couple of conf calls. Just the right amount of caramel with a couple of strawberries and a creme Anglaise sauce. Scrumptious!! I don't remember many occasions when I've loved all three courses of a meal, but that was certainly the case tonight. I can't wait to go back.“

“We (a group of out-of-towners looking for seafood) had the perfect experience at Hank's. We arrived around 6pm on a weeknight and were seated immediately. Our server was detailed, thorough, and thoughtful. Our drinks were delicious and the food was incredible. We shared their proprietary oysters and all loved them! Whenever I'm back in DC, I'll be returning for sure!“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“great food and service nice spot“

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“DELICIOUS lunch at Et Voila DC!! The salads were amazing and the beer was cold and wonderful! It was my first time at the restaurant & I will definitely return. Highly Recommend!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“I had a wonderful time at Casamara! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the music was fantastic. We were seated at the front, where the atmosphere was excellent. Our waiter was incredible and did more than was expected to make my friend's birthday special; she was very attentive during the whole meal and offered us excellent wine recommendations. All aspects of the food, the service and the general atmosphere were perfect. It's definitely a place I'd recommend if you wanted to have a fun night out or mark a special occasion!“

“My work splurged on us a lunch for us consisting of the Rasa Tantori Tasting Bundle. This meal is advertised as feeding 10 people, I think they are underselling just how much food you get. Were 10 extremely hungry people and then we were 10 very satisfied and perhaps overly full people a few minutes later, with food to spare! Nothing was particularly spicy, there was a little heat on one of the dishes, but nothing crazy. The variety of food is well balanced. Chicken, tofu, saffron rice, Greens, salads, chickpeas and curry with 2 chutneys, even dessert cookies! I recommend this meal if you are looking for an easy way to order a variety of food in one go that can feed 10 hungry, or 14 less hungry people. Especially if any of them are cautious about trying Indian. It was delicious well made. Not to mention conveniently delivered.“

“Food was exceptional and so was the service. The ice cream sandwich dessert was to die for!“

“Absoutely loved BurgerFi at White Marsh they did a great job accommodating a 13th birthday party after an Activate event ... made for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!“

“Chris was an awesome server.
He really know how to make us feel special as he serves us our awesome food!
We will definitely come back here, not just for the food but also for the experience…

Keep it up!“
