“This place is absolutely fabulous by all measures!! We had the family style sampler. I have had everything on the sampler platter before and this tasted better than I had ever had it before. Our server Dan was fabulous as was the manager absolutely highly recommend it and look forward to going again the next time I'm in town.”

“Great time, good food and great music”

“Love this place. They also have so many great choices and blind boxes, labubu as well”

“Located in Tanger Outlets, it’s just the break you need in between your shopping spree.
The cinnamon bites and pretzel bites (hotdog) are my favourites. They also have pepperoni. Pair your pretzels or bites with their signature lemonade or another of their featured drinks.

Vegetarian options: The cinnamon ones are vegetarían

Parking: There’s parking at the outlets

Kid-friendliness: Of course kids love pretzels and nuggets.”

“Must have the Mochi fantastic”

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

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

“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!”

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

“Have eaten here 4 of 5 days visiting DC. Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend!”

“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! ;)”

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

“Sushi Taro used to be considered one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city, but it is not surprising they no longer are on the Michelin guide in 2025. The table service was good, but the rest of the service was mediocre. The food itself does feel overpriced for the quality, only a few select items were notable. Really not a destination for sushi or sashimi. Nothing they are doing terribly wrong per se, just nothing to write home about.”

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

“An amazing dining experience!”

“Restaurant Week lunch menu was excellent. Good variety and enough choices for the 3 course menu. Can’t go wrong with any options. Excellent service. Bar area is nice-wish the dining room decor was as interesting as the food. (Maybe that’s the point—the foods the thing!)”

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Exquisite food and drink!”

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone”

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.”

“Great food great service!”

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.”

“Everything was perfect! I would recommend this place”
