“❤️ Neutral Ground Bar & Kitchen“

“I visited the restaurant approximately a month ago and was greeted by Shirley and Tiffany who were very warm and welcoming to my guest and I. Shirley walked us to the table near the fire place and she was sooo professional and kind. We truly felt welcomed. Thank you both!!!“

“Such a great experience celebrating our 41st anniversary at Seasons 52! Our server, Ben, was extremely gracious and made sure we were able to take our time, and celebrate our special evening. He made sure to time each course perfectly in time with our own pace. We really appreciate the management and chef at Seasons! They were very generous with a champagne toast, a special tuna tartare anniversary presentation, and a special celebratory dessert! Of course, we topped it off with their signature mini-desserts of key lime pie and the cheesecake & caramel. Each of our courses was superb - from the appetizer of the charcuterie board, to the lobster bisque soup, and the excellent wood-grilled filet mignon made perfectly to my wife's and my liking! Accompanied by one of our favorite Bordeaux wines. Many thanks to our server, Ben, the chef and the management team at this Seasons for taking such great care of us! You are absolutely a reason we keep coming back!“

“We had such a great experience at The Capital Grille thanks to Lawrence! He was attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. His recommendations were spot on, and he made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Outstanding service like his truly makes a difference. We’ll definitely be back and hope to sit in his section again! Thank you Lawerence we enjoyed celebrating my sisters Birthday.“

“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.“

“I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visiting Old Town Fairfax, I was attracted because it was the only restaurant on a Wednesday night that had a real vibe. The Ahi tuna was pretty good, not the best I've had, and the service was good. I'd go back because of the vibe.“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“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“

“My wife was craving Thai food for her 45th birthday and we were wowed by the food. The vegetable fried rice was my favorite, but my son loved the chicken satay and wonton soup, and you can never go wrong with panang chicken. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

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

“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!“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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 wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.“

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

“We had a really great dinner experience with their prefix menu, and like other reviews that mentioned, the prefix is really good value. Service was superb as well, the waitress actually grilled the meat for us. They had non alcoholic beverage options. It’s been years since I had bingsoo and cold buckwheat noodles with beef broth so it was very sentimental for me to have those dishes again! Atmosphere was definitely more upscale than a regular Korean bbq restaurant.“

“Great ambiance, food and vibe“

“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!“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“It is finally nice to eat a meal the marries spices from different continents together to create/perfect comfort foods. Phenomenal.... A party in your mouth!!!“

“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.“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“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.“

“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.“

“if you ever have a chance to go to the vines Foggy Bottom then do so! it is a lovely environment it's laid back the staff is very friendly and informative. they have a delicious assortment of wines. the food is also very good too. they don't rush you after you finish eating you can sit there and chit chat with your family and friends and drink different types of wine they have a wonderful menu.

“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.“

“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.“

“#AmazingRestaurant #LeSelRestaurant 🥰“

“This is a great place and the owner is very nice. He is though being harassed frequently and the police didn’t care when I told them. I said this guy who is verbally abusive and physically explosive could hurt someone and the cop said” he could” almost like he was giving permission. I’m disgusted! Please call the police if you see the this man assaulting the employees. I will begin to record these events when and if I am there. I cannot patron with such violence going on.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
