“Had the pleasure of visiting Friday evening. Made a reservation ahead, and were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat at our table, 5 minutes before reservation. Enjoyed the egg roll appetizer, proper burger ♨️ and a few beverages. All of which were outstanding! The service was extremely friendly and efficient. Thank you Proper 21 we look forward to making this a routine stop when in D.C.“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

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

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

“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.“

“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! ;)“

“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.“

“The server Ever and Chris made our night so special. A good friend turned 21 tonight and they gave us a wonderful experience with great food and service. They even helped us blow up the birthday balloons to rush for our birthday friend’s arrival. 10/10 service, food, and experience!!“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“Nice atmosphere. Good drinks“

“Genuinely blown away. Don't get me wrong I love all food, but I wouldn't say I'm easily impressed since most restaurants are just decent but this was truly great food and the service was phenomenal. You can really tell a lot of time and thought is put into each dish. We will be back!!!“

“Met a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile, enjoyed sitting in the cute alcove. Not rushed at all through our meal and we ended up being the last to leave.Wonderful service. We both enjoyed the Wahoo (fish) - delicious. This place always does everything so well. The server noticed we left an umbrella and ran out to catch us - very thoughtful.“

“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 :)“

“Great service! Very accommodating staff“

“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.“

“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 food quality is very good at Black Salt. There were at least 5 items not listed on the regular menu which were also available for dinner. We liked the fact that several choices were seasonal in nature- which allowed those items to be available.“

“Incredible restaurant that puts elevated care, attention to detail, and quality ingredients front and center.

Unpretentious in austere but refined in the approach to your hospitality experience, this gem nestled in the heart of AdMo is a must-see for all hungry foodies in the area.

My experience with Imani and Amina will be the reason I return and tell my friends to go. Their storytelling, command of the menu, and easy approach to creating an elevated dining experience did not go unnoticed.

Meatball and porkchop were a hit in tenderness and flavor, while the cabbage and pudding were a hit in dynamics and design. Major shout out to Amina for bringing over the perfect wine pairing to complement our porkchop—on the house.

These moments create the fine dining experience and make the price point worthwhile.“

“Carlos was our waiter. He was exceptional. Food and drinks exceptional. Hope to come and dine again in the future. It's a 5“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“What an amazing place for lunch or dinner! The hamburger was most delicious as well as the chicken bowl! The service was beyond amazing (thank you Kevin). The environment wasn't the best. Loud music playing, drunk people watching a football game, being extremely loud... yes, I know, they were have fun! She may have no voice the day after with all that yelling at the TV sent... who knows, they might have heard her at the game!

Again, such an amazing place. I would highly recommend this Yard House!“

“The advocado toast was generously loaded with fresh advocado and hierloom grape tomatoes on top of nicely toasted sourdough bread. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and prompt. The dining area was spacious and peaceful.“

“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!“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“From the moment we stepped through the doors of Jula's on the Potomac, we knew we were in for a special experience. Everyone's dish was a masterstroke. From start to finish, Jula's on the Potomac delivered an experience that was thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. Five stars without hesitation. My wife will never forget her 50th Birthday celebration brunch. Bishop Avery Kinney Sr. will be back—and bringing everyone he knows. It was worth the drive from Richmond. ❤💯“

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

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

“Service was friendly and efficient. Food was tasty. Burger was good but needed the preferred internal pinkness as was relayed. Also needed more of the skinny onion rings like in the pic. Looked like onion rings were from the bottom of the barrel. My husband's sausage omelet was good. The beer on tap was excellent.
The maintenance of the cleaniness was much appreciated. I've been to other Silver Diners and glad this is close enough for us to check out as a late evening option.“

“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!“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

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

“Had an incredible experience here! The food was absolutely fantastic — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The service was just as impressive. Cole was our server and he was amazing — super kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he really cares about his guests. Highly recommend this place and definitely ask for Cole if you can!“

“The Bulgogi Bowl was one of the BEST meals I have ever had! This was a great place to visit with my friend from Germany who wanted to try something very American, so he got the Buffalo wings. We went on a Sunday afternoon during game time. People were enjoying the games but noise level was still great for being able to have a good conversation.“
