“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“Food is really good. Good German style plates. Service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is extremely loud. It was, however, a Friday night and was a bar scene. If you like a good bar, that's a little loud, this is the place for you. If you want a bar/restaurant that you can talk at, don't go here on Friday.“

“I went with a large group of people for a weeknight dinner and we ordered a ton of yummy food and drinks for the table. I liked the NA watermelon agua fresca and my friends liked the smoked old-fashioned. We got cheesy bread for the table some of us liked it it-I didn’t it was very thin. The food overall was well liked; I got a Cobb salad that had a good flavor and many of us loved the fresh pizzas. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The only serious issue we had was with our server. I’m not sure if she was very new or there was a language barrier but we had constant issues from the start. We had to ask multiple times for water and didn’t get any until after the appetizers were served. Food was slow to make it to the table-not the end of the world but it would have been nice if our server checked up on us more, also had issues asking for the check. I think I would come here again for the drinks!“

“Great place to hangout!!!“

“My entire group loved the atmosphere and the food was awesome! The staff was excellent, prompt, kind and engaging! Will definitely be going back!“

“We had a later flight out of DCA and arrived at the airport just at dinner time. We decided to try the Grille District since it was located adjacent to our departure gate.

The space is decent size, but not as large as some of the other sit-down restaurants in the airport. It was somewhat crowded as well. But we did not have a long wait to be seated. Our server was quite efficient and took our orders fairly quickly. We did not have a very long wait before our meal was brought out. Our server did a great job of keeping our drinks refilled.

We had the Thai Salmon which was just a touch over cooked, but still was quite enjoyable and also the Market Salad with grilled chicken which was very fresh, quite large and very filling. Prices for the meals were higher than what you would pay at a restaurant that wasn't located inside the airport, but were not exceptionally higher.

All in all, it was an enjoyable meal and was significantly better than what we usually find at an airport restaurant. We would recommend the Grille District for anyone that needs to grab a bite to eat while at DCA.“

“Friendly, accommodating and great options for food and wine. Also a great spot for happy hour!“

“The scenary was great a lowly dimmed nice vibe of a place not too loud me & my friend sat at the bar & that is when Grace came & introduced herself, sne made a drink that have grapefruit which I don't hate but she made it taste great for it & also suggested to try the Bang bang shrimp bao which was great. If you haven't been to this place or been meaning to come by you should, the food, drinks, ambiance, & vibes are definitely a 10/10 don't miss out !“

“Great place to hangout with friends“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“We decided to do lunch at Ted’s Bulletin. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and modern. The portion sizes are large, prices are reasonable and the food taste delicious.“

“One of my favorite places to go. The food is very solid and service/atmosphere can't be beat. Prices don't feel like I'm being ripped off either like much of DC has gotten to. Management is super friendly and great to work with. Always look forward to spending time here with my friends!“

“start with the good: the calamari and shrimp appetizers were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and super crispy — truly a highlight. It was a slower Sunday, so I'm not sure why the service moved so slowly. Our drinks and appetizers took quite a while, and there was a shift change that caused our appetizers to be missed altogether (they did end up comping them, which we appreciated). For lunch, I had the steak salad, my daughter ordered the steak and fries (medium rare), and my son-in-law had the margherita pizza. All three dishes were really yummy. I'll definitely come back for the steak salad — it was that good. The only downside was the pacing. With only about two other tables seated, it was surprising that service was still that slow. But overall, the food was delicious, and that's a big plus.“

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

“Just had the chicken sampler with 4 sides. It was delicious and more than enough to feed 4 hungry people. Will definitely order from them again. Joann Levine“

“Dining at Open Road - Rosslyn was an absolute pleasure! Here’s a breakdown of our experience: Food: Popcorn Starter: A fun and tasty surprise! The complimentary popcorn was a great way to kick off the meal. The Shrimp and Grits: Simply outstanding—easily among the best I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor! The Philly Cheesesteak with Fries were served piping hot, with the cheesesteak perfectly seasoned and the fries golden and crispy. Service: The staff were fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Their excellent service made the experience even more enjoyable. Price: The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of both the food and service and the location. Great value overall!“

“Great Easter Brunch small plates. Service was fantastic! Enjoyed our Easter. Bar looks fun! We were upstairs! Seating outside too! Reasonable pricing“

“This is a good-bar that's reasonably priced. Food and service are great. Real people go here

Vegetarian options: You can leave meat off some items. The Westover Melt is veggie and delish.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in“

“Had Kyle as a server who was FANTASTIC!! Food and atmosphere were great! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“Amazing service The best“

“The Green Pig Bistro has always been a "hidden treasure" in Clarendon; the updated menu makes it even more so. The grilled pork chop was moist, tender and generously sized - with plenty of au jus to keep the accompanying muffin, mashed potatoes and veggies moist and flavorful. The fish of the day - red snapper - was just as appealing; the snapper was moist and tender, served over a bed of black rice and chopped broccoli with a beurre blanc sauce. After this experience, we will return to the Green Pig Bistro more often!“

“First but not last experience at Westville! We live nearby and have been meaning to check it out, and we decided to try out their lunch. We shared a bowl of butternut squash soup which was so flavorful! My fiance got the miso chicken bowl and I got the chicken plate with beets and cauliflower - we both left stuffed and with to-go boxes. Everything was seasoned so well, the chicken was moist, and the veggies were fresh!

We'll definitely be back, excited to try the rest of the menu :)“

“Overall above average, though not exceptional. Beef dishes (short ribs, filet mignon, and ribeye were ordered at our table) were appropriately cooked and were all excellent. Service/ambiance were rather average for the overall price we paid.“

“Cool music on a Sat night!!!“

“Just had a great lunch where we sat outside on the patio and had to order via QR code. Included in the notes about an allergy and they came out to tell us that one of the items we ordered couldn't be made without my allergy and there was still a chance of cross contamination. They removed the item and insisted on finding an acceptable substitute I could eat avoiding my allergies. I assume the gentleman who came out to speak with us was a manager, who understood allergies very well in party because he had a peanut allergy. Then after a great meal we left a hat and when I went back to get it, the same gentleman was RUNNING across the street to bring me the hat. That's incredible service and such care for those with allergies. I seldom feel safe eating out with my allergies and this place really put me at ease!“

“Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit “

“We had a layover, and this was right next to our gate. The charcuterie was fantastic. The fig jam was some of the best we’ve ever eaten. The Lemon Shrimp was a full citric flavor blast, the Harissa was amazing, and the arugula salad was so fresh and crispy, with a delicious pepper forward flavor. The service was stellar. Attentive and friendly. Also… I highly recommend the passion fruit cosmopolitan. 🤌🏻“

“This is probably the best run airport restaurant/quick food option I’ve seen at an airport in years. They are friendly, efficient, and you can tell they actually care about the quality and presentation of the food they serve. The manager is doing an excellent job!!!!“

“Get a new night manager because Willie is terrible. I got stuck in the garage around 12:30am this morning because the parking machine wouldn't read my QR code for a Spot Hero reservation (I was booked until 2am on 3/14. I was blocking traffic so I called the front desk for help. I asked if someone could come confirm that I paid for parking and raise the barrier but he refused to help, speaking over me and insisting that I call Spot Hero for assistance (spot hero customer service was closed and I'm not sure how they were supposed to help me exit the garage?!). A guest at the hotel who was trying to leave got tired of waiting behind me and used her ticket to let me out. I went to the front desk to get the name of the person on the intercom - it was the night manager Willie. I asked for the GM's name and email. He told me the GM's name is Mohammed and asked what the issue was in reference too. I told him it was about him not trying to assist with the garage issue. Then he wanted to talk/explain but I advised him a discussion wasn't necessary - I just wanted the GM's contact info. He got upset that I didn't want to listen to him and refused to give me the GM's email - told me to call in the morning since I "didn't want to talk like adults". I asked for the info or a business card again and he threatened to have security escort me out. Security looked just as confused as I was, especially since all I asked for was the GM's email. If your managers or the company are unable or unwilling to help Spot Hero customers who are STUCK in your garage, don't contract with them!! And I very well could have been a guest of the hotel - Willie never even asked. He's definitely on a power trip and it's bad for business. Was he just going to let me sit at the parking exit forever?! completely ridiculous. somebody needs to look into this“

“Excellent place to stay when you want to be close to DCA/Reagan International airport. 3 minute drive in early AM. Super comfortable bed, nice cafe. Friendle courteous, competent staff. On-site parking. Great AC in room during hot day. Would stay again!“

“I had the best server I’ve had in a real long time. His name was Bikal and he was efficient with our waters, food and checks and just overall great server and nice guy. He made my silver diner experience better.“

“Amazing atmosphere and some of the best cocktails in the area!!!“

“This is a mixed bag. Mostly had breakfast there which I thought was considerably overpriced. The buffet was well thought out but had nothing that I don't see in hotels around the world at almost double the price. Within the last year I've had breakfast in Berlin, Athens, and Rome and the most I paid was 16 Euro. Sat at the bar area two evenings and both times it took me multiple requests for a drink from the same server. The food I ate was good, at temperature and delivered by the kitchen staff rather than the server. By the end of the week we were doing breakfast and dinner in local establishments.“

“Great foods and great service.“

“Excellent service by all, excellent food and drinks!! Everyone was very attentive to our needs, thank you Bell20 for an enjoyable evening!!“

“I love Metro 29 and Mr. Coffee (hope I spelled his name correctly). He is so gracious—the perfect host. The food is pricey, but the portions are huge. I love getting breakfast there.“

“Lucky Bun truly deserves every bit of praise today. I stopped by this morning and took a seat at the bar. It was busy, that perfect midmorning brunch rush when the place hums with life. I ordered the garden omelet and a Bloody Mary. Both were outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

The young lady behind the bar, Carmi, once again proved what genuine service looks like. She was handling multiple orders, mixing drinks, taking care of guests, and still managed to make everyone feel seen and appreciated. Her composure, warmth, and professionalism turned what could have been a hectic atmosphere into a relaxed and enjoyable brunch.

It’s not often you see someone balance grace and speed like that. She’s the heartbeat of the bar. Big thumbs up to Lucky Bun and to Carmi for keeping the energy high and the service flawless. I’ll be back soon, this place keeps raising the bar.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“
