“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“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!“

“Easily one of the best spots in DC, with some of the best food. The corn tamal, grilled leeks w/ mole, and lamb neck barbacoa were some particular favorites, but everything was delicious, fresh, and carefully crafted. The cocktails were excellent, the patio was extremely pleasant, with attentive service — everyone was so kind. A true 10/10.“

“Part of a food court so can't say there's atmosphere, really. Things are made fresh, which is great, but it means you need to wait a bit. I like that they use the traditional bamboo steamers and serve them to you that way. Large portions in one order. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Vegan options.“

“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!“

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

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

“the food and service was amazing“

“Great in every respect: quality and quantity of food, service, and ambience. A real treat!“

“During our trip to Washington, D.C., we had a lovely meal at Jab We Met. The proprietor was so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The food was excellent, with delicious Aloo Gobi and comforting Saag Paneer that hit just the right spot. The mango lassi was delightfully smooth and sweet, and the iced tea was light and refreshing. It was an enjoyable dining stop on our travels!“

“Whats not to love about Lola's. great service, fantastic food and a wide selection of drinks. I always return here in my trips to DC as its the best bar in town. i highly recommend a visit..“

“Food was Excellent.“

“The staff is always so accommodating of our family with two small children and a giant wagon stroller. We absolutely come here for the generous inKind promotions, too! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

“The best bar on H street. The staff is top notch and always ready to pour a frothy draft or a strong cocktail. Annie, behind the bar is a true gem and always friendly.

The menu from Little Miner tacos is also fantastic, try it all!“

“This place is intoxicating!! The decor is very Gatsbyesque! Totally cool private gin club speakeasy vibe. Went here for after dinner drinks with my girlfriends and it really hit the mark! The cocktails were gorgeous and delicious! I recommend the Gimlet. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable. It was a perfect ending to our girls trip and I can't wait to bring my husband for date night!!! Highly recommend!“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The service is INCREDIBLE. Unbelievably friendly staff. Our food was a little slow to come out, but without even having to bring it to their attention, they apologized and comped us 2 drinks. When the food did arrive, it was absolutely delicious. The sliders were juicy, and if you get them, make sure you order the fries because the seasoning is divine. Also really loved the fried green tomatoes! We had a lovely time!“

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“In town for my birthday and found Trouble Bird in my search for a good cocktail bar. I was absolutely NOT disappointed. Bartender and server(didn't get their names) were very knowledgeable, drinks and food were made with care and the service was excellent. I come from a control state so their rum selection felt like it was excellently curated, and offered a lot of balance. Felt like a kid in a candy store. (Though a little worried it came across as more of a drug addict to the bartender😂) Definitely plan on returning next time I'm in town (probably even before I head back home this time around) and would certainly recommend to friends and family.“

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.“

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

“My family and I wandered in after seeing a recommendation online. Hill East Burger did not disappoint! The atmosphere was fun and the food was delicious. The staff was also very friendly to our obvious party of non-regulars😊.“

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Friendly staff and good food cooked to order!“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“great customer service, amazing food, great music. went for a girls gathering and had a ball. Really nice server, gurl with medium length red locs.❤️. I had catfish sandwich“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“So I’m originally from northeast DC and back in the day, late 1990s early 2000s, DC had black stores that the community knew like family. Now, when I tell you Trinity Grill gives off that type of aura, they not only embody it, they emphasize it. Besides having great food Chicken Cheese Steak and today the Jerk Chicken sandwich on coco bread😩🤤. They have game nights with throwbacks like Jenga Pictionary, they also sell frozen margaritas, they even have Sports betting machines, When I tell you they have every convenience imaginable. Special shout out to the manager and the cooks they’re awesome“

“I had a 30 year high school reunion on May 3, 2024 at 3 pm. Everyone had a great time meeting with old friends again. The restaurant is quite spacious and accommodating for our needs.“

“Such a gem of a find! The staff was incredible and attentive. The food was the perfect balance of zesty and tasty. Even the drinks were good. Happy hour made it better but even the regular prices are good. 10/10 would recommend. Bonus the private karaoke is great for date night and groups!“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go! The Roost was my go to during the pandemic with tons of outdoor seating. Since it was in my neighborhood we frequented a lot. The staff watched my little one practically grow up there! It became our meeting place and neighborhood watering hole. Quick and efficient and some of the best food and customer service! We’ve moved from the area but always stop by when in town because it feels like home!“

“The food was the best southern food that I’ve EVER had at a restaurant. The music was relaxing and Erin took care of her customers with friendly service. Every item that came out of the kitchen looked like it was prepared with love and detail.“

“What a hidden gem Dionne’s and Scarlet & Oak are! I ordered the chicken sandwich and crab fries… and YUM! My friend ordered the fish sandwich and crab fries and our total was $28. For DC, that’s inexpensive but even better, it was delicious. The entire space is beautiful, clean, and bright. This would be a great place for many different types of events. I’m already thinking about who and what I can bring back to it so we ensure the local businesses within are supported and it stays open for years to come.“

“A Fresh Gem in Mount Rainier!

Medi Café Bar and Restaurant is a vibrant new addition to Mount Rainier City—and exactly what the area needed. This two-level Latin-inspired venue offers something for everyone.

“The SLY Rooftop Bar and Restaurant is perfection. It is ideal for an evening out with family or friends, happy hour, or a date night. Located on the rooftop of The Morrow Hotel, the vibe is perfect for any occasion and offers beautiful views of the entire city.

My husband and I visited for a quick bite to enjoy our last evening in DC. Per Jose’s recommendations, my husband had the shrimp and grits and I had the branzino with chard and coconut rice; neither disappointed. We also tried the blue cornbread, which could easily be considered an appetizer, side, or dessert.

The atmosphere is top-tier, warm, and inviting. Jose was incredibly attentive and made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant. Sophia, the manager, topped off the evening by checking on us and thanking us for dining at SLY.

Mr. Samuelson, we need a SLY Restaurant and Bar in Houston, Texas. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and I highly recommend it.“

“I’m not really a Rum guy but this bar/distillery is definitely cool. Was bummed that their isn’t a food option but you can order in which is a major plus..But scratch all of that Dericka was my server & let me tell you she’s great! I wasn’t rushed into ordering anything but I also waiting all forever either. I asked for her personal preferences just to see what kind of server I’m dealing with & She has excellent conversation skills because for a split second I forgot I was at a bar. It didn’t feel like I was talking to a robot or your normal bar industry worker (ex restaurant manager). She brings that “home comfort” aura with her. Idk where y’all found her but y’all have a golden egg in your hands if no one noticed. Will be coming back & bring friends/family!“

“great seafood, will come back!“
