“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“Great place, overpriced with too many extra charges, besides that, the food is excellent“

“Great place and great staff!“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“The Parthenon is my go-to local restaurant for dining outdoors or inside at the bar. I love the wide range of dishes, from vegetarian Greek dishes to very reasonably priced gyro plates with tzatziki, salad, and fries. The cold mezze plate is great and the swordfish is superb. Don't miss the crabcakes which I think are the best in DC -- all crabmeat, no breadcrumbs, and delicious taste. When I want a treat I get a dinner with one crabcake and one soft shell crab. The Greek wines are very good and reasonably priced. I love the fact the restaurant is family owned and run, and the staff is very attentive and friendly.“

“Accidentally came to Vola’s after a stroll in old town Alexandria and the place did not disappoint!

Crab dip and shrimp $ grits were out of this world! And the views are just breathtaking.

Highly recommend!“

“We enjoyed a delicious dinner here during restaurant week! All 3 courses were well plated, very tasty and just the right portion size!! The service was excellent and the cafe was not busy so it was very quiet, although it did get busier as we ate, but the noise level was still fairly quiet. I am looking forward to coming back again!“

“It is a nice bar with good quality drinks. The weird part was that we had to wait quite a long time at the door and then were told to wait more until our reservation at 9pm. While we waited 3 other couples came in and were turned away as they did not have reservations… one couple was told to come after 45min. Then when we entered at 9pm the place was half empty with many free tables 🤷🏻‍♀ I guess they don't need clients and felt bad for couples who were told to leave despite being half empty…“

“This place is a vibe. Awesome music acts. If you order food do it when the music isn't playing they might get your order wrong..lol also if you don't like smoke this isn't the place for you unfortunately but it's an older crowd so you Hopefully won't have to deal with drunk college kids but I enjoyed my time.“

“If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would.

We hosted our wedding celebration in The Ritz-Carlton (Saga Room), and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was outstanding.

The Saga Room was beautifully set up and created the perfect intimate yet elegant atmosphere for our celebration. The staff executed everything seamlessly behind the scenes, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy one of the most important days of our lives without stress or distraction.

Every guest felt welcomed and cared for, and the service was consistently warm, polished, and thoughtful. What stood out most was how personal the experience felt—we were never treated like just another event.

We are so grateful to the entire Ritz-Carlton team for helping make our June 12, 2026 wedding celebration unforgettable. We cannot recommend The Ritz-Carlton (Saga Room) highly enough for anyone planning a special occasion.“

“Griffin is an outstanding waiter. He served us on .Thanksgiving. He is gracious, kind and top notch. One od the nicest people I have met.“

“AMAZING just simply AMAZING , the best food and the best drinks. The service is impeccable as well. Look out for Gregory he’s the guy with a plan to get you the meal and drinks you NEED. Will be back every time i come to DC. Shout out Kellen a great AGM just very attentive and ran the show like a great maestro.“

“The Statler Lounge inside the Capital Hilton is a hidden gem that exudes sophistication and warmth. With its elegant decor and comfortable seating, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day in D.C. The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring expertly crafted drinks and a selection of fine wines. The attentive staff provides exceptional service, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Whether for a casual meeting or a relaxing evening, the Statler Lounge is a delightful retreat that enhances any visit.“

“Great place for cocktails“

“Nice spot to sit back and watch a game or chat with friends while having a few drinks and a well-refreshed hookah. Bar staff has always been kind and accomodating, owners are very kind folks and do rounds to check on everyone whenever they are in, shows good care for their business.“

“I DO NOT fully recommend Air Restaurant. I don’t do this. I usually experience a new place and reserve that experience for myself. But I want to sound an alarm for anyone looking for an EXCLUSIVE experience at Air lounge. I just left. Let me set the stage for you. Atmosphere is great! Venue, great! And our service was very friendly and helpful… let’s get to the main bits…. If you are interested in “VIP BOTTLE SERVICE” please know that there is a 2 hour limit. This was never communicated to us. Not once! We paid the fee. Bought food. For roughly a $500 tab (gratuity was included) but we were told at a certain point that we had to “finish up”. Before we were done with our bottle! No where on the website did (does) it indicate that there was/is a two hour minimum (we provided recipes to the manager on duty). So you can imagine our surprise when the staff approached us with this news. To make things worse… I asked the new folks sitting next to us if they’d bought the VIP bottle service. She said “no, we just reserved the booth. No fee. Excuse me??? Jokes on us in guess. Myself, and the people with me, where celebrating. We paid for the premium “VIP” experience and we’re told we had to “wrap up” before we finished our bottle! WHAT DOES “VIP Bottle service” mean exactly to Air Restaurant??? Do not get VIP service here. It means nothing. We paid our money (plus gratuity). So they got theirs. But did we get ours… Na! Be cautious. Save money. Just reserve a table. Attached is an example of an event happening next week, currently on their web site. As you can see… no mention of any 2 hour limit. Proceed with caution. Also, I did some deep research to find the “2 hour table” reference I was presented with by the manager. Found this on Yelp/Open Table. (See attachment) Does this actually apply to VIP ($300+) “Bottle service” tables!? Or just the regular tables!? Someone please help me understand! What does VIP REALLY mean here? And also…. Who’s going directly to “open door” To make a reservation with them? You’d most likely visit their website… Right? Can someone please help me make this make sense?“

“Excelente lugar para despejar la mente y divertirte ala grande viendo tanta mujeres lindas“

“Stopped by Sidecar for an evening snack and drinks. We had the Chicken Flatbread with arugula and BBQ sauce drizzle. The food and drinks were better than average, but a little on the high end for what you get. If TripAdvisor had a "Better-Than-Average" rating, I would have given it that.“

“Nice place!! I had a great time!
Great place to dance and have drinks. The DJ plays good music,some days they have live music ,it has a great atmosphere with a nice crowd.
We went after dinner, and next time I'll try the restaurant's food, which looks amazing. Leo, the manager, is very attentive and, above all, great.
Go dance and have fun!“

“The best place to see new music from everywhere on earth“

“The view at the Vue is the absolute highlight with expansive views of the Whitehouse and other DC sites. Reservations are highly recommended but my wife and I took a chance after visiting the Christmas Market and there was a table available for a walk-in but had to be clear in 90 minutes. Service was top notch and the menu was wonderful. It is not an expansive list but everything was outstanding. I had the Branzina (Sea Bass) and a Shrimp Cocktail. Amazing taste and presentation. My wife had a pasta with mushroom dish and it was equally delicious. We will be back again.“

“Flavor was redundant, but you definitely get what you pay for. The crab cakes were the best thing on the menu and we loved how it was actually a crab cake! A lot of places call a piece of fried bread with some crab meat ij it a crab cake, but not Vola's, they are the real deal! Matisse was our waitress and she was great!“

“The workers here are absolutely wonderful, and the menu offers a lot of great variety. However, there was one glaring issue: plastered on the front of the menus, and in a standalone poster, as well as in the own cafe's website, is a problematic and disingenuous message telling customers that the cafe is raising prices because of the proposition to increase pay for tipped workers. It claims that the workers choose their job because they love it (implying the money is unimportant to them), and implying that having to pay their workers real wages is hurting small businesses.

Edit: I sincerely appreciate the respectful and elucidating response to my review. I still find the messages regarding the fee distasteful as I believe it has deeply troubling implications, and wish the fee could simply be built into the price. I hope to see this updated“

“Great place to meet friends for a drink!“

“GREAT VALET GREAT SERVICE GREAT PLACE“

“I’ve been a regular here for over a decade with ebbing and flowing service. I must say that Sama is a terrific server who has given us the true VIP penthouse experience every time we’re here! I highly recommend Vida U Street. Come for the experience, attentive service and the “views!”“

“I stopped in the lounge diring my lat over at DCA. The staff was so friendly when I checked in, as well as the service staff. It was the end of breakfast time but I was able to get some items. Smoked salmon, a muffin & eggs. Always go items. Lunch did start while I was there, but the cold cuts and other proteins that were laid out, were all pork based (which I don't eat), so I ended up with a good go to snack, cheese and crackers. There were good options for drinks, including the bar. It was overall a quiet atmosphere, a few people were in online meetings, but I'm glad it wasn't overwhelmingly loud with noise chaos overload of speaker conversations, videos, music that can be annoying. Otherwise, the lounge was a good choice/option for my layover. I'll definitely visit again, whether it's at DCA or which ever other airport I have a layover.“

“This was my first time at this place and it was so much FUN.“

“I've anticipated the opening of the restaurant. It's authentic mexican ambiance. Friendly staff. Delicious food, best Mexican food I've had since I moved to the DMV. I'll be back. It's Cinco de Mayo and it's my first time here. Catherine was my waitress and she was amazing.“

“My wife and I had an outstanding experience as we celebrated our anniversary. Every aspect of the evening was perfect and made special by the outstanding staff. Special shout out to our server, Isaac. It was a first class operation all around.“

“The vibe is good. The service was very very slow. They kept forgetting to put things in. Not sure if they were short staffed. Don’t waste your time with the chips and dips. They tasted like store bought guacamole and salsa and cheap dollar store bag chips. But other wise the Citron sampler was amazing! We only one drink because again the service was slow. But overall I would try this place again because of the vibe and music.“

“We had 5:30 reservations which I guess is early, we had no other guests in the restaurant, I'm surprised because the food was good and king street location close to the water was great! They have entertainment at 9:00 nightly so I guess they get a late crowd“

“view amazing people very nice“

“I visited in January 2024 from Ireland, this was my first eva reggae club it was on spot“

“14OCT.2021 I stayed in the Mariott a month ago and didn’t have the time to check out this lovely, refined restaurant. My experience was beautiful, professional, kind, easy going, pleasant, welcoming,inviting and amazing! The atmosphere was the same. My waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was super delicious. I had the Ollie's meat trio flatbread (Pepperoni, Calabrese, Toscano, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil)for a snack and then I devoured the Black Bass(local carrot trio, heirloom fingerling potato, French beans, citrus veloute)for dinner. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and very organized. Best experience ever. Best pre birthday dining festivities. So glad I was in the area and stopped by. I love, love, love, love this place. The bathrooms are no hand entry(wave hand in front of sensor, door gradually opens)and very clean. Apparently the transition from lunch to dinner, the lights are dimmed.“

“The owners and staff are top notch. Fabulous food!!“

“Un lugar Exelente buen ambiente súper recomendable el mejor en Wheaton ❤️“

“My experience is limited to a few birthday party outings. The music selection has always been a combination of hip-hop, pop, and EDM sprinkled in. Everything was hassle free from the bar to the dance floor. The crowd was diverse and drama free. Bottle service is more expensive then you might imagine given the venue so check ahead before you book.“

“Great food, friendly staff, and perfect location.“

““Karaoke, great drinks, and an excellent staff make this a great night destination for someone looking to have a good time with friends. The food is also great, presenting many exotic and delicious dishes, as well as the old classics. The place itself looks amazing, with a great night ambiance, complete with hanging lights and great music. And did I mention the super-fun karaoke?.”“

“Love the view! Good cocktails too :D“

“Its is always a good time at Skydome. I have been visiting this place since 2005. The recent renovations and upscale food is amazing. I am very proud of their management's work. The ambience and customer service was always great even in the past but now their food menu , taste, and presentation are just exquisite. Great going Skydome!“
