New American Restaurants near Riverdale Park, MD

“Food was really delicious, Friendly staff good environment. Loved it 😍“

“The food at Ceibo is creative and delicious. We enjoyed eveything, sharing the hamachi, eggplant, dumplings and sea bass. The dumplings are unusual, served in a delicious broth. The emulsion served with the sea bass was amazing. The wine list is reasonable and includes great choices by the glass. The service is friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The dining room is attractive, but because of the tile floor, once full it is a little loud, but not to the extent that you'll have difficulty hearing your dinner companion across the table. Dinner at Ceibo is a lovely way to spend an evening.“

“It’s an outstanding establishment to eat & drink!!“

“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“

“Had a great pre-flight last dinner in DC and everything was delicious! We were lucky enough to eat during happy hour where we had great deals on our drinks and noticed different happy hour offerings were available each night of the week. Wings, Birria egg rolls, and beef bulgogi all came out exceptionally fast and each a hit at our table.“

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 :)“

“I would definitely recommend if you visiting the DC area! This is my “go-to” spot when my family and I are catching a show at one of the nearby theaters. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious, especially the Poke Nachos as a starter. Everything tastes fresh and prepared with care. The entire staff are friendly, professional and courteous (shout out to Molly who always makes our experience exceptional!). Great place to take your family, friends or for a date night!“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Update: Unfortunately, Kinship still has a no corkage policy. This is pretty rare throughout DC and truly the only thing keeping us from visiting frequently.

Original Review: October 2023

We’ve loved Kinship every time we have visited in the past. However, their switch during COVID to not allow corkage and retention of that policy post-COVID has kept us from returning. Hopefully they revisit this policy soon. If so, we will be back attending frequently.“

“Sophisticated food at a fair price. The drinks were made perfectly. The space feels so welcoming and appropriate for any event: family dinner, date night, brunch with your girls, or a friends get together. I will definitely be returning and trying everything on the menu.“

“We got pizza and wine here and this place is so close to a 5. They just need a fly trap in the patio, please!! The vines cover everything, cute lights, great vibes.. but I guess the flies thought so too. We got the sopressata pizza and it was really good, especially the crust. Please get a fly trap and we will come back.“

“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!“

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

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

“We had an amazing and beautiful experience at the Firefly restaurant Friday.

We came in earlier around 6:30 it was our anniversary and the service from our host and waiter was exceptional. They seated us at a nice table and immediately served us with cold water and good service was fast and top quality. The waiter was really nice to us and the food especially was delicious.

We ordered the filet mignon with Brussels sprouts and truffle fries and the firefly burger with truffle fries. By far one of the best meals of my life, the steak was tender and cooked perfectly to our desires. The firefly burger patty was tasteful and extremely well balanced.
We particularly loved the truffle Parmesan fries, they were fresh and crunchy, Parmesan flavor at the forefront with a light truffle taste left in your mouth. Delicious and one of the highlights of the meal.
We ordered dessert which was crème brûlée, side note I’m from France, but the crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had crunchy not burnt and the cream light, the restaurant even offered it as a gift for our anniversary.

Overall our experience was perfect and we had nothing bad to remark, thank you to the staff for making our night perfect.

Vegetarian options: Some dishes clearly seen as vegetarian“

“One of the best dining experiences in DC. Chef Jeremiah is outstanding; the meal is creative but accessible, and each course is better than the previous. We are so grateful to have Dabney in DC!“

“Absolutely AMAZING! We had the truffle burger, so so great! We upgraded to parm truffle fries and they were so great. We also got the kids pizza- with a picky eater he ate every bite. The fruit was delicious- even in off season. The waiter was very helpful- and attentive. Def worth it with kids.

Kid-friendliness: Loud environment- so the kids felt comfortable. Kids menu was affordable, lots of food and both our kids ate everything!“

“We are vacationing in Luquillo, Puerto Rico and went to Capital Burger 🍔 twice for dinner. The environment is nice and the staff is friendly and helpful. The chicken wings and the burgers are delicious! You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“$40 bottomless mimosas are such incredible value for DC - I was blown away! The steak frites were perfectly executed, the coffee was excellent, and that yogurt was like a delightful little dessert before the main course. You've created one of the best budget-friendly brunch spots in the DMV where people can actually enjoy unlimited mimosas with great food. Thank you for doing it right! I'll definitely be back and bringing friends.“

“There’s very few times when you walk into somewhere and can tell immediately that the owner loves what they’re doing, Cynthia is most definitely one. Cocktails were unique and delicious and the food was exactly what I hoped it would be.“
