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

“Agora DC made my husband’s surprise birthday dinner party one to remember! From the superior customer service and professionalism of their special events management team, including Tsednia Abay, to the Michelin Star-worthy food and service, no detail was left untouched. Thank you to your entire team!😍“

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“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!)“

“Good and service was exemplary“

“We came to DC for 3 days and 2 out of 3 days we came to Pearls!. I HIGHLYYYYY recommend coming here, even if its out of your way!! The bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and everything in-between is amazing! The customer service is just as amazing as the food! We will 10000% come back here!! If my review doesn't do justice just look at the pictures because I'm drooling wishing i didn't live 19 hours away!“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“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 :)“

“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“It was the perfect meal, from appetizers to main course, and dessert! Our server, Ricardo, was very attentive and informative about the menu and gave us personal recommendations, as well. I had been wanting to dine at Cucina Morini for a while now, and I am so glad I chose it for our friends visiting from overseas.“

“First visit; I went for Restaurant Week. I ordered the chicken corn chowder, the short rib ravioli and the caramel cheesecake. The chowder was excellent, a great balance of corn and chicken and a goodly amount--but not too much--pepper. I loved it...and a very generous portion! The ravioli was super too--cooked to perfection, stuffed to capacity with cheese, accompanied by a nice hunk of well-seasoned and -cooked short rib. I wasn't able to finish it, so I took some home. I took the cheesecake home too and ate it after a couple of conf calls. Just the right amount of caramel with a couple of strawberries and a creme Anglaise sauce. Scrumptious!! I don't remember many occasions when I've loved all three courses of a meal, but that was certainly the case tonight. I can't wait to go back.“

“There's a reason Rose Ave usually has a line out the door. This is one of the best bakeries in DC, with a somewhat limited selection compared to other bakeries. They have one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city, egg and cheese on a garlic croissant type roll. Super rich and will definitely leave your hands covered in butter. The ube kouign amann is incredible and the donuts are both delicious and unique. They have great coffee and a small selection of cakes and slices of cake as well.“

“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“The elderly lady at the restaurant reception should be more friendly and welcoming to guests. She is the first person we encounter in the morning before breakfast, and unfortunately, her attitude feels more like she’s working at the White House than in a hospitality setting. I hope she can be more warm and smiling like the rest of the staff at the restaurant.“

“Great people, great service, great food! I've been on a mission to find Eggs Benny done right - thank you! For the breakfast, and for being an awesome part of the adventure. 😊“

“If you’re a quiche lover, go here—seriously. I had the bacon and pimento quiche, and it was incredible. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the visit. The café itself is absolutely charming—quaint and beautiful both outside and in.

That said, the vibe was a little off. I sat at one of the tables, and because of the woven design, it was pretty dirty—which was surprising and disappointing since they had just opened for the day. It kind of broke the magic of the space.

They were playing “Tell Me Something Good,” and mid-song, it got switched to something way more drab. It felt symbolic of the whole experience: everything looks and sounds great at first, but a closer look reveals something less inviting. It didn’t feel like a place meant for people to linger or settle in.

Still, I’d go back for that quiche alone. Maybe the vibe will shift with time, but for now—it’s more of a grab-and-go kind of spot, not one I’d stay and soak in.“

“Great Local Pub!
Courthouse Social is an awesome spot to hang out. Great vibe, friendly staff, and solid pub food. The outdoor seating is perfect for chilling with friends over a drink. Definitely one of my favorite local places—highly recommend it!“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“We were visiting from out of town and what a great choice to go to Primo Hogies!! The whole staff was incredible!! Food was great! If anyone is on the fence about what they want to eat, this is the place to go! Thank you guys!! Looking forward to coming back!!“

“This is a good restaurant for having Vegetarian food. If you are reading this, I'd strongly recommend trying them. I liked the ambience, service and the food quality. They were welcoming and responsive. I couldn't tip them as I was in a rush, doing my bit by writing here.“

“Wonderful food and excellent service . We went there for breakfast . They had traditional Turkish breakfast which every thing was fresh made and taste amazing. They open up their backyard van too for this summer and the atmosphere is wonderful for a summer night sert with your friends and family. You should try it if you like home made foods.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“The massive portions of cheesecake YUM“

“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!“

“Freshly prepared, delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended.“

“Kind & helpful staff, delicious variety of drinks & pastries.“

“It is impossible to have a bad experience here. I’ve been coming to this place for well over 4 years now and it never disappoints. The staff is great. Drinks are amazing. And it’s just a really nice to be. The chai latte is worth every sip.“

“As always, fantastic sushi and other options. Very pricey for your typical sushi place but that's because this place is definitely not typical. Top notch options. The Butter Scallop on sushi is just OUTSTANDING. Staff is also super nice.“

“Loved eating here. The restaurant smelled faintly of incense, which was a welcome ambiance. Tables are layed out well so it doesn't feel cramped. The space is nice and bright with beautiful decor. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Service was fast and the food was absolutely delicious! Loved every single thing I ordered:

Sheer chai — this tea had a nice balance of milk and sugar

Mantoo classic — these beef dumplings were full of flavor and served at the right temperature, hot but not too much to burn your mouth

Lamb shank — the sauce was packed with flavor and the meat fell off the bones. It came with rice that was a lovely buttery complement to the lamb

Sheer berenj — had this for dessert and it was very refreshing. It's not milky and the pistachios on top added a nice nutty flavor to the rice pudding

Green tea with cardamom — nice way to end dinner“

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“Nous avons passé une superbe soirée au Convivial. Merci à toute l’équipe et tout particulièrement au jeune serveur très gentil fan de dimitri Payet ainsi et surtout au chef toulonnais qui a régalé nos papilles en côtoyant l’excellence avec son poisson au pistou et les côtes d’agneau. Une petite famille du sud de la France, allez l’OM et le RC Toulon 😉.“

“Excellent food and atmosphere. The bartenders were also super chill and make really creative drinks. Recommend the honey wine!“

“This was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would never normally choose Italian as a n “”out to eat” option but I’m so glad I did! I would eat here night after night if I could.“

“Cute place to grab breakfast. I give it 4 stars, it’s just a hyped up breakfast spot. The bagels were okay and the service was very good. No space inside to eat so be prepared to eat it outside, we didn’t mind since it was beautiful out but check the weather prior to arriving. I would come back if I am close by but I wouldn’t take an uber 25 minutes for a bagel here.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Minya’s, and it was fantastic! The pizza was absolutely delicious – the crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings fresh, and the cheese melted just right. Whether you’re a fan of classic pizza or looking for something more creative, they have a wide variety of options to choose from. My favorite is definitely the Derho pizza, love the Eritrean fusion of it all!

The service was fast and friendly, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great dining experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both a casual meal or a night out with friends.

Highly recommend Minya’s if you’re craving some of the best pizza in town! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Don’t forget to check out the speakeasy! It’s such a hidden gem!“

“We loved having dinner so much on Friday night that we had lunch on Saturday! Lobster roll was delicious. Great selection of raw oysters. PEI mussels were the best! Service was on point. Friday night Ashley was great and sorry I didn’t get our great servers name on Saturday. Manager Ronald Vasquez was so personable and made us feel like regulars. Wish we lived a bit closer because we would be. Highly recommend!“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Our visit to Zeppelin was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with the most exceptional hospitality by Ari and the rest of the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, paying tribute to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. But the real standout of our experience was the food. It was absolutely divine. We began our meal with the Edamame and Miso Soup, both of which were the perfect starters and set the stage for the rest of the meal. The Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Sunomono were also refreshing and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we decided to indulge in a variety of dishes from the KushiYaki (Japanese Charcoal Grill) menu. The Ebi Shumai and Beef Harumaki were both cooked to perfection, while the Takoyaki was a fun and tasty snack. But the standout dish was the Okonomiyaki, with its tempura, red ginger, okonomiyaki sauce, and mayo creating a truly unique and flavor-packed experience. From the sushi bar, we sampled a variety of rolls including the Negitoro Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Rainbow Roll. Each one was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced in flavor. We also tried the Sashimi Sampler, which was a fantastic way to try a range of different fish. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the Green Tea Ice Cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note. Our experience at Zeppelin was truly extraordinary! The food was delicious and the hospitality we received from Ari and the rest of the staff was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly unique and memorable dining experience.“

“Yummy chicken and pita bowl! The store was hygienic.“

“Excellent customer service, breathtaking view of the Potomac River. Extensive variety on the menu. I highly recommend all items on the menu, and prompt turnaround time after placing an order.“

“It was a tasty dinner, lime cheesecake FANTASTIC!!!“

“This is the best food I’ve had in 2025. The food is absolutely delicious. I’m so glad I found this hidden gem. I order the salmon platter with corn added. All of the food looks good so you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I will definitely be back.“

“Overall lackluster experience. There are better French-style restaurants in DC. Cute place, great location, food was just ok. We've had better similar dishes elsewhere locally. Wait staff was attentive but seemed disinterested. Might try brunch one day. Not sure we'd return for dinner.“

“Good food good staff. Will come Again.“

“Delicious and lovely atmosphere.“

“Server was nice and vigilant about dietary restrictions. Flan was excellent. Burger was undercooked but not bad.“

“This is my second time trying Honoo and I’m very pleased with the food and service. We tried the yakitori, tacos, mentaiko udon, sushi rolls, and other appetizer dishes - they were all delicious! The interior is also very modern and the ambience is nice. I highly recommend.“
