“Great place for happy hour! I had a flavorful flatbread with bacon and corn and Pinot noir wine for $14. A great deal! Then I had another wine at happy hour price ($7) and a small dessert, priced accordingly ($4). Service was great. Ambiance was nice.“

“Beautiful set up and ambience..“

“We were a birthday party of six and the dining event went very well. The food which was ordered included the Perch Burger, Shrimp Cappellini. and the Seafood Cobb Salad. All of the food was carefully prepared and served. The restaurant did not have butter for the entry bread because an earlier buffet event had exhausted the supply. The interior is beautifully designed with several attractive dining areas. The noise level was moderate. Our server was very attentive to our needs.“

“We had a family Father's Day and two birthday get together. It was a lot of fun bowling and the food was wonderful. From the small plates while bowling to a late lunch downstairs.

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“If you are coming here with a decent sized part of people, I would highly recommend going with something from the Chef's Menu so you can try a little of everything. You'd be happy you did, and you definitely won't leave hungry.
Myself and four others went here for dinner on a Sunday night and it was phenomenal!
Phoebe did a fantastic job answering our questions about the menu and providing recommendations. When we all decided to do The Classics on the Chef's Menu, Phoebe made sure our wants and needs were addressed, and her and the kitchen provided the most incredible selection of tapas. If my memory serves, we received about 5 or 6 different tapas and two paellas. Then, at the end, the churros were included in the cost.
Overall, the value, quality, and service were all superior and when we're in DC again, we will be back.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

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

“Delicious brunch and excellent service!“

“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 :)“

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

“Invited by bartender Ana to check out Immigrant Food (Planet Word), I was curious to experience it for the first time.

I’m so glad she did.

From the moment my partner and I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, lively, upbeat, and inclusive.

We ordered the Greek Wings, The Cheeseburger, and Huevos Rancheros.

The Greek Wings were hot, crispy, meaty, and savory.

The Cheeseburger was a classic done well, topped with American cheese on a toasted sesame brioche bun and served with crispy Belgian fries.

The Huevos Rancheros featured eggs, Mexican chorizo, tortillas, refried black beans, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, and fresh garnishes. He said it was hearty, colorful, and packed with flavor.

Thank you, Ana, for the recommendation and warm welcome.

Between the inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food, my first visit was a memorable one.

I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.“

“Our Uber driver recommended St. Anselm, after the restaurant we planned on was closed. What a happy misfortune! From the quick phone call, answered by Lily, who cheerily said she could accommodate our party, to our amazing waiter Joe, the delicious food, wonderful atmosphere; this place is a DO NOT miss! I’m sad we live in FL and can’t be regulars!! St. Anselm, whatever you are doing, keep it up!!!“

“They allow you to get a full meal with room for dessert which are small but mighty. The food presentation is on point. Highly versatile spot: date night, girls night, or a group of your best friends or potential clients. Hands down, worth a return trip.“

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊“

“I went with a friend to The Capital Burger on Newbury last week. The space was clean and comfortable, our server was really friendly, and the food came out fast. Great experience—I’d come back without a second thought.“

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

“Medium Rare features steak frites (or mushrooms with frites) and some desserts- that's it.

The price is appropriate- you get nice, crusty bread, salad, and 2 helpings of steak frites.

The food quality is good. However, one must be partial to mustard because the salad dressing is extremely mustard forward, and so is the gravy on the steak frites.

It's a cute concept and the ambiance reflects this. Some cheeky art alongside the children's drawings up on the walls. The restrooms refer to Pepe and Penelope from Loony Tunes and in the ladies room one can listen (and perhaps learn) some flirty French phrases.

The service was a mixed bag. Our main server wasn't very engaged with our table. Despite the fact that we had gift bags on the table (perhaps a clue that we were celebrating a birthday) she didn't ask whether we were celebrating. I had also marked the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but that wasn't acknowledged at all. Other tables were celebrated while we were dining, so I guess those patrons directly asked for the celebratory gesture of a sparkler in their sundae/cake.

Our server also wasn't too interested in keeping our beverages full, or in bringing extra hot fudge when we asked for it with our sundae.

However, our steak did arrive at the right temperature for each of us, and they brought the steak frites refills at the EXACT perfect timing (and the refills were hot and perfect).

Medium Rare is a fun restaurant with good food at a good price- we'll return.“

“The manager went above and beyond! I requested almond milk for my latte and they didn’t have any so she walked down the street and bought some 😊. The service was awesome and the food was phenomenal.“

“Prices were reasonable and the food was good. Was almost empty on a Saturday morning when I went so if you want to get away from a brunch crowd this could be a get away. It also has alot of nice outside seating though I stayed inside to avoid the heat.“

“I’ve been coming to proper for maybe close to two years now. They have my favorite food item in all of DC (Birria Eggrolls that I highly recommend) and the kindest bartenders and servers. They make me nonalcoholic versions of beverages so that I can try them if I ask (shout out to Molly). Everyone that works at this location is so sweet and helpful and give the best recommendations. Recently went for a couple of the World Cup games and they were swamped but still did their best. So proud of you all and will continue coming as long as I am in DC.“

“In my 50 yrs of living on this earth, and have traveled abroad and tried many different places…my experience at The Dabney has been by far the best I’ve experienced. Everyone from host to chefs made me feel like a star. The bar staff, servers, the atmosphere, and the chefs!!! Top tier and would highly recommend!!! Not only was the service excellent…talk about hospitality on a 100! But the FOOD!!! I mean I would’ve been a happy camper just on the drinks from the bar (gotta try the FORWARD drink!! Whew!) and the service alone, but the FOOD?! We were treated to a five course, and every single bite, morsel that I tasted sent every bit of my taste buds to heaven!! I consider myself a picky eater but none of that mattered. If you’re a connoisseur of fine dining…you CANNOT miss THE DABNEY! I salute the CHEFS!!“

“Excellent food & friendly / engaging staff“

“The jambalaya was super good, flavorful sauce and tender chunks of seafood. It wasn't spicy to me, but still enjoyable regardless. Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating despite how busy it was. I will definitely try to come back and get different items from the menu!“

“A delicious dinner. We shared the peach and tomato caprese salad. Delicious dressing...would have preferred burrata instead of ricotta salata. We also had the Dover Sole and King Salmon and a strawberry peach crisp. All were fresh and scrumptious! Service was outstanding.“

“Great with food allergies/dietary restrictions and super accommodating. Highly suggest!“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“I loved my spicy Calabrian pasta and Olivia treated us so well. We had mentioned that we were shopping for bridal shoes today and she made it special for us by bringing out an extra sample of dessert. The whole experience was wonderful! I would come back!“

“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“

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

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“What an amazing dining experience! The restaurant offers high-quality, delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere. The customer service was exceptional, and the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive.
A special thank you to Salvador for sharing his knowledge about the oysters and for providing outstanding customer service. His recommendations made our experience even more enjoyable.
The lobster roll was absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back!“

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

“Literally some of the best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’m very picky about my steaks“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“Ted’s Bulletin is one of the greatest restaurants I’ve ever been to. The steak and eggs were cooked to perfection and paired extraordinarily well with the chimichurri. The frisee salad was perfect with the steak. Greg (the manager) is very accommodating and kind, you can tell he cares about each customers dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back soon.“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“Excellent food 🥘 Nice atmosphere“

“Great time and good food. Bring the whole group!“

“Nice place and Sol Roots Trio performance was excellent!“

“We ate at Matchbox and highly recommend it! The food was excellent, and our waiter, Jose, provided wonderful service. It’s always a good sign when locals recommend a place—and this one definitely lived up to it.“

“Absolutely spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, the event coordinator, the staff, absolutely everything was top notch. We absolutely loved it.“

“I went to medium rare while having my family in town. I’ve never been, but heard great things so I wanted to take my family there. Best decision I have ever made. Our server Jonas was very knowledgeable of the area and great customer service. The manager I believe he said Dan came over and said hi and checked on us. We thought it was just a lucky case, but we noticed he talked to almost every table and even had non guests walking by with dogs waiting for him doing tricks. This really made us feel we were in a neighborhood staple. My parents loved everything and will definitely be back for brunch from what they explained to us ! Let’s go bottomless. P.S don’t forget the deserts ! Sundae is a must.“

“We were there for are Christmas meal. Overall the food & drinks were good except the three desserts offered were not good. Our server Randall was not helpful. We noticed he was more attentive to his other tables😖 We will try brunch but not with Randall🤔“

“Today, after landing at DC Reagan we decided to waste time while waiting for our hotel room at the Archer Tysons to be prepared. While searching AI this restaurant came up so after reading the reviews we decided to visit.

The aesthetic of the restaurant was gorgeous, neither feminine nor masculine but definitely modern and warm. We decided to sit at the bar which was very comfortable and boasted plenty of seating. The bartender/server, Carlos , looked up and saw us and initially didn’t speak ..my husband tapped my leg which is usually an indication to leave but I said let’s give him a chance and boy were we happy we did !

Carlos was fun, courteous, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable during our visit. He gave us his recommendations on drinks, food, and also shared all the specials the company was offering.

Hubby had the Burger and fries and I had the Turkey Burger with sweet potato fries. We also had alcoholic beverages , hubby had a delicious maple old fashioned and I had the blackberry margarita. Everything was cooked to perfection and Carlos put his entire foot in those drinks 🥰!

For dessert I ordered an inflammation Wellness drink because the ingredients looked interesting and it was delicious!

We shared stories of our travels and Carlos shared his experiences in Thailand. The restaurant honored a military discount for me (retired Veteran) and our bill with a 25% tip was about $91

Overall I would say our experience was a 10/10! Restaurant and restrooms were extremely clean, food & drinks were delicious and Carlos was the cherry on top!“
