“Great atmosphere and the staff in very friendly!“

“I had a great time on 08/27/2023 sipping on a mock tail and listening to an amazing Saxophone player, Eddie Baccus Jr. Steve, the bar server was great! People were all having a great time! It was not crowded. I heard the Sax player from another area in MGM and the rich tones drew me to the upper level to “Lobby Bar”! So glad I stopped by! Great musician. Great sound! Great repertoire!“

“I visited this Indian restaurant with my family and we all had an amazing experience together. The menu offered a great variety of traditional dishes, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed. The butter naan, biryani, and curries were especially delicious and packed with authentic flavor. The portions were generous, and every dish tasted fresh and well prepared. The service was quick, professional, and welcoming, while the friendly staff created a comfortable environment for everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that we would happily repeat.“

“I rarely write reviews for restaurants however my experience at LBB last night was 5 stars on all accounts. The ambience and food were great. The service at all levels, hostess, management, and waiter were all pleasant and extremely helpful. It’s not a cheap dinner, but a great place for a date night or a little treat.“

“We had such a wonderful experience hosting our family event at Vin Sur Vingt. The space is so charming, the food and wine were excellent, and the whole evening felt effortless.

From the start, the team was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly detail-oriented. Carlie and Pen were amazing to work with. They helped with decor and all the final touches, coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, and kept everything running smoothly the night of. They really went above and beyond to bring our vision to life and make sure every guest felt taken care of.

The entire team on the day was also just wonderful. We felt so well looked after and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for any special event.“

“Stopped in for a drink and had a really nice experience! They were super friendly about trying different wines before committing. My husband and I both enjoyed our glasses. George was super friendly, as was another colleague who greeted us initially.“

“Great place to go after a long day or on a date . The staff was awesome when it came to what wine may be best to try with which dinner . First timers or old heads to wine excellent place to visit . Will visit every time I am in town“

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

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Great place!! The atmosphere was charming and the food was great! The staff was very knowledgeable about the wine and provided great customer service.“

“The Eastern is just a couple of blocks from my daughter and son-in-law and is our go to place when we visit them in DC. They have a fabulous menu, however, we love the small shareable plates. The pork sliders, glazed carrots and pimento cheese dip are wonderful. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive and always ready to suggest a wine to pair with our food. We love the atmosphere and the local vibe and are warmly greeted like old friends. Love this place.“

“What a nice dinner! We were hesitant as my idea was to go to the Red Hen opposite the street, but I’m glad we did. Sitting on the terrace on a summer night was very pleasant (but bring a repellent). The waiter (Terry) was super friendly and relaxed, made a great pasta recommendation. The puttanesca fettuccine were indeed a treat, everything homemade and perfectly balanced, with a kick from the pepper flakes. The price is reasonable and we will gladly be back.“

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.“

“I’m a big fan of this micro business. The place is 50% wine shop 50% curio shop and 50% wine bar. That’s 150% and it’s totally correct. Zena the proprietor is a real hoot. She is incredibly knowledgeable about wine without being at all stuffy. The small selection o bottles offered here for retail sale are expertly curated by her. She knows each bottle intimately and can talk knowledgeably with a wine snob or a mere drunkard.

The real star of the show are her homemade desserts. She does a take on Little Debbie oatmeal snack cakes that is very nearly orgasmic. The chocolate cake is also a star. Try something from the dessert menu and you won’t be disappointed.

The curio shop has wine themed merchandise ranging from the witty to outright bawdy. You will find decanters, rubber ducks, and funny towels. Plus, she has an excellent selection of chocolates.

Full disclosure I’m a wine club member here and I couldn’t be happier“

“Verre has really upped their game over the last year. The outside patio section now allows dogs, and they have a full bar as well. They’ve also added some menu items - like the braised beef which is our favorite. This is a nice little hidden gem in Courthouse, Arlington! Great vibes!“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“I love this place so much. I live in the neighborhood and was thrilled when the Chicatana team could move to a bigger space and make this a wine and tapas spot.

The wine is excellent and the food is absolutely amazing. The gambas de ajillo are sublime, as are the papas bravas, the seared scallops, and all their jamons.

Go for a special occasion. Heck go for any occasion.“

“Great ambiance, food and vibe“

“We've had lunch and brunch there, and it was all good.“

“Some restaurants get the food right. Others get the service right. Very few manage to deliver both with the kind of polish and attention to detail that makes the entire evening feel special. Our first visit to Maison Bar À Vins did exactly that.

We went for a date night, and from the moment we walked in it was clear this place understands atmosphere. The dining room is small and intimate, with a romantic, almost European charm that immediately sets the tone for the evening. It feels thoughtfully designed for conversation, good wine, and slow dining. Even the music in the bar lounge area was perfectly curated.

But what truly stood out was the service. From the host to the servers, everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. The manager was visibly present throughout the evening, checking in on guests and making sure everything was running smoothly a detail that always signals a well-run restaurant.

Our waiter, Hunter, deserves special mention. He was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about what he does. When it came to the wine selection, he went above and beyond — offering multiple tastings until I found the perfect glass. That kind of patience and attention is rare and it elevated the entire experience.

We started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo with apple, kohlrabi, and yuzu koshō, alongside their warm house bread served with cultured Normandy butter. The presentation alone felt like a piece of art, but the flavors were even better — bright, delicate, and beautifully balanced.

For our mains, the kitchen did not miss a beat. The Swordfish à L’Orange with fennel and kumquat was perfectly cooked and layered with vibrant citrus notes that complemented the fish beautifully. The Brioche Stuffed Chicken with jus gras and chanterelles was rich, comforting, and incredibly flavorful the kind of dish that feels indulgent without being heavy.

And then came dessert, the Chocolate Ate Hazelnut Ganache. Simply put, it was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time decadent, perfectly textured, and the ideal way to close the meal.

What makes Maison Bar À Vins special is that nothing feels accidental. The food is thoughtful, the service is genuine, and the atmosphere invites you to stay longer than you planned.

If you can’t get a table, sitting in the bar lounge as a walk-in is absolutely worth it. The energy there is just as enjoyable.

Maison Bar À Vins easily earned a spot on our list of favorite places. If they continue maintaining this level of quality and hospitality, they’re going to remain one of the most memorable dining experiences in the city. A true gem.“

“Nice little neighborhood wine bar. Nice selections, friendly bartenders / waitstaff.“

“got a reservation last second in december so i could check out the holiday decorations after hearing of the restaurants history from a TikTok!! worth visiting for the vibes, and the free shots of amaretto!“

“Great atmosphere & customer service! ❤️“

“I had the most wonderful dining experience at La Fromagerie! Everything was delicious and the service was great! I began with champagne and foie gras. Next, I had the bouillabaisse; then, cheese course (a double or triple cream). I finished the meal with a chocolate pot de crème. I can’t wait until my next visit!“

“Great visit for a first timer! Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and amazing service!“

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

“I was lucky enough to get a pre-opening preview of this business tonight. And I was blown away. The place is beautiful, and Megan and Sean are so hospitable and so knowledgeable about wine. I always thought of myself as someone who couldn't tell the difference between acceptable wine and anything better, until Megan poured me a glass of Beaujolais. Amazing.“

“I had a Lumberjack sandwich and brought home a brownie for later. Both were EXCELLENT. The sandwich was a bit messy to eat, but there was so much in there and the flavors really popped. The location is convenient--just across the street from the north entrance of the Dupont Circle Metro.“

“Great ambiance and great drinks 🍹 totally recommend for a fun night out 🥂“

“We stopped here on our way through DCA last week and really enjoyed it. The wine selection is amazing and the food was good and reasonably priced. Our server, Rekik made some great recommendations. She is a great server and we look forward to seeing her again on our next trip thru DCA.“

“Great meal recently at Cucina Morini !!! The food, service and drinks were all on point !! See the photos for our recommendations !!! You can order half orders of pasta !! Perfect if you want to try different things.“

“the food 😋is delicious and the service is great“

“Great selection of (good) wines, excellent customer service. Dustin is very friendly and attentive to his customers. Location is accessible. Nice little spot to get away from the big crowds and noise to have a gathering of close friends to hangout with. Definitely recommend it.“

“Fantastic new chapter for Compass Rose reimagined as a globally inspired cafe. Delicious lattes and some of the staples carry over from the previous menu (such as the crowd favorite khachapuri). It can get quite busy and seating is limited so plan ahead or try outside of peak times. This is a great addition to the neighborhood as a place to gather and meet.“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“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.“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“Had the most magical dinner here for our anniversary. The food was stunning and the team shared great detail about the ingredients, inspiration, and stories behind every dish. This is such a special restaurant and the entire experience was lovely and so memorable.“

“Lovely spot! Went there for brunch and sat in the sunny window. Steak and eggs was good and fairly priced, as was the coffee. Loved the chillwave/vaporwave playlist on the stereo. Staff were super nice. Totally slept on this place until now, but will be back soon!“

“Me and my husband had the most amazing time. You can tell they care about you and your experience. We have ordered the restaurant week menu and it didn't disappoint. This place restored my hope for DC restaurants. Hidden gem and i want them to stay that way. Not everyone have good taste Humberto was amazing, so as the owner. Very genuine and humble. Honestly i cannot pinpoint which course was the best. What i know for sure is the steak was so unforgettable . Next time i am gonna go all out and try their tasting menu. Thank you for keeping up the amazing work . Raven and Alan“

“Had a great time with my friend for her birthday here, the waiter John was great, and accommodated to our needs. The food was amazing, I have zero complaints about anything. I really enjoyed the restaurant, and will definitely be coming back.“

“This place is MOST AWESOMENESS! A definite must come eat!“

“Service was amazing!!!! the atmosphere I can’t speak on because it was slow night but the people that were there seem like regulars. So good sign. Food was good but nothing that blew me away because it was just shy of great. But you wouldn’t be disappointed with anything. Oh! The cocktail and wine was really good get balance“
