“Tried to order carryout from the 3-coure meal menu. Told that the items on the 3 course meal were not there. Tried to order filet of sole and salada da Horta. Seemed like bait and switch“

“We brought in 16 people for a college/friend reunion and had a blast. The food and staff were amazing and the vibe inside was outstanding.“

“Authentic Italian food with mouth watering choices and delicious recipes and served with perfection. The service staff is attentive and fast. The atmosphere is relaxed even though bustling with people. We tried couple of appetizers and 3 entrées (Eggplant steak, Truffle mushroom ravioli and Mussles), and all of them were top notch. The coffee was too good too. The parking is free if parked in the building. Just remember to hold on to your car park coupon and get it validated in the restaurant.Parking: Garage parking is free if coupon is validated by the restaurant.“

“Our Rockits Band played there last night! The staff was amazing and the food was great! Clyde’s has a fabulous fun vibe too!“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“Amy, my bartender made the experience. She is personable and responsive, and just provides an overall great experience. She literally was a bright spot in trip after a delayed flight. Thank you, Amy for great service, and thank you Pour Bar for good food.“

“I have never had a bad experience here other than sometimes the service of the bartenders can be a little nasty as far as attitude. But once they figure that you’re paying Customer, that’s when it all kicks in and they become great I guess. The food is awesome. The drinks are awesome oysters, and seafood fresh as you can get without being at the wharf.“

“Lovely spot in the Dupont Circle Hotel. I don't usually choose hotel restaurants but this was a perfect spot for a quiet lunch with a friend. Our server, Miguel, was fantastic - very helpful, thoughtful, and just the right amount of time spent at our table. The GM (don't have his name) was also very nice - funny and attentive from start to finish. The food was very good, I had a salad with salmon on it, and my friend had the crispy salmon lunch. Highly recommend if you need a classy, quiet spot in downtown DC.“

“I came for brisket! The flavors were there, they lose 1pt because it was slightly dry. The beaaanns get a 5 with jazz hands. It was a party in my mouth. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. The service was on point. They have a parking lot with somewhat limited spots. I would definitely come back.“

“Right in front of the Nationals Ballpark we saw Tap99. What absolutely drew our attention was the Big a** mozzarella sticks (yes they are actually called that)! So we immediately went inside and saw that it was a pour it yourself beer, liquor and shots restaurant as well! We got a demonstration on how to use the machine to pour whatever you want and then we were off to the races. There is a ton of seating both inside and out. Outside has covered seating across from the sidewalk as well which was great! We ordered the totchos, jumbo wings in honey bbq and of course the mozzarella sticks that lured us to this spot. For drinks we ordered various margaritas that poured perfectly in the glass every time. My favorite was the strawberry margaritas. They weren't too sour and had a bit of a sweet flavor to them. We also tried the lemon drop shots you can pour yourself and they were really well done. For the food, everything we ordered was delicious. Those three things turned out to be a ton of food. I really liked the bacon and cheese on the tots, the wings has a great sauce and tons of meat on each one, and the mozzarella sticks were incredible. I was just astonished by how much cheese filled each one and how little breading was needed to hold it all together. It also did a perfect cheese pull with every bite and had some sprinkled cheese on top of them. They were so large we had to conquer them by cutting off bites. I would totally recommend them to anyone that enjoys eating mozzarella sticks. Overall, this spot was incredible, so many people there but also so many taps that you never have to wait in a line to get a drink. I definitely want to come back here again at some point soon!“

“The DC Fray softball league is at another level! I hadn’t had so much fun playing sports since I was a kid! I can only imagine all the hard work that goes into creating such an awesome experience. Also shoutout to our host Zev, he really made the whole thing such a blast, keep up the good work. I can’t wait for another season with Fray!“

“We had a party of almost 30 people in the private room, and Elvis was absolutely wonderful in organizing the event with me during the two weeks prior. The service was great, as was the meal and everything else, all adding up to a highly recommended place for a private event. Merci beaucoup, Chef Cédric.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was perfect. The only reason I gave it four stars was due to price. Our meal was over $500, including the tip. I'm so glad we went but will probably not go back due to that.“

“I can't say enough great things about Lutece. My wife and I shared one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in DC there recently. The food was sublime (duck confit tagliatelle was my personal favorite). The wine service was impeccable. The staff was super chill yet very attentive. And the atmosphere was perfect for the moment. We sat at one of the high top kitchen tables, which I highly recommend. We'll be back for sure.“

“Combination of great food, ambience and hospitality. This is the place if you are looking for authentic Nepali food and fine dining experience. They have always amaze us with their menu selection options and the way menus are platted and garnished. I will highly recommend this place for dining with your friends and family.“

“They took great care of our large (25 people) party. Excellent food and service and they made it very easy to make the arrangements. Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely outstanding. Cannot recommend The Little Grand highly enough. Their pizza is the best in the DC area and their service and atmosphere are incredible as well. Straightforward and thoughtful menu and the staff are more than happy to help you determine the best options for your taste, just ask. Cocktails are awesome and the wine list is focused and always interesting. Definitely check it out.Parking: Always parking available on the side streets.Kid-friendliness: Great with kids. Very welcoming atmosphere for families, especially early in the evening.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“I live in the neighborhood and once in a while when I want to just have a super chill, super yummy, super special experience I rack my brain to think of where to go? So many options but I always come back here. Like a warm, wholesome spongy Injera with a comfy lounge and an outdoor area to just relax and be. ❤️“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Adam was a great server , he made me an awesome nonalcoholic beverage . & def recommend the steak taco. The pickled jalapeños are delicious . & music is good.“

“Nazareth is one of the best Ethiopian restaurant in town! The food is authentic and delicious.We ordered TIBS FIRFIR, chickina tibs and Goden tibs served over Njera in family style platter. The Tibs is a perfect balance of spicy and savory. The Y was crispy on the outside and soft chewy on the inside. The ribs firfir is flavorful and satisfying and the portions were huge! The Njera was warm to the touch - a very nice touch!The service is impeccable. The atmosphere at Nazareth is casual and inviting. The owner even came out of the kitchen to greet us and ask about our experience.Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Nazareth. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great Ethiopian dining experience.“

“I celebrated my 30th birthday here at Royal Sands last weekend and it was beyond a 5-star experience. What's great about hosting events here is that it's incredibly spacious and you don't have to pay ridiculous rental fees! We had a roped off area by the entrance for my group of 25 friends, plenty of chairs and booths, and so much space to dance! Chris, the manager introduced himself and kept an eye on our party to make sure we were all doing alright, and our server Katharine was attentive and making sure all our food and drinks were put in and coming out. Thank GOD this place serves late night happy hour because the sushi and the sushi boat was absolutely bomb, and we had the munchies after drinking. I highly highly recommend hosting your event here at RSSC, whether it's a birthday party, or social or getting together with friends- they'll take good care of you!“

“This place is gorgeous! The cocktails are delicious and the food is excellent as well. Our server Rey was the absolute best, he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time here and did not disappoint. We are totally coming back here!“

“Nice place and fantastic show“

“Amazing service and a fun and friendly crowd and staff. Every cocktail was perfect, the charred octopus was incredible, and it was a good time all aroundVegetarian options: For a place that does not advertise themselves as vegetarian friendly, they are very vegetarian friendly! They will remove or replace ingredients to suit your needs whenever possible. My cousin and I went there and without any prompting they asked if they could help us out by making any of the dishes vegetarian or vegan.Dietary restrictions: They will go out of their way to make anything allergy free for you if possible.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, however I don't think I would have brought my kids in there until they were at least eight or 10 years old, I would say that if you're child is extremely well behaved in restaurants and public places it is suitable, otherwise you may want to find somewhere else, it is not the kind of place where kids can run around and play tag while Mom and Dad finish their mealWheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator, and a wheelchair accessible washroom , however the bar is fairly packed and maybe a little bit difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.One Patron in a wheelchair came in when I was there, they were very diligent about helping him make it to his table, however he did have to be escorted by one of the staff to have some people at tables get up and move their chairs so he could get to his table which was at the back.“

“Great vibe great decor! Nice indoor outdoor spot. The food is very flavorful and spice level is nice to be able to properly enjoy! Great pick, ramen was delicious as were the dumplings! Our server Ian was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.“

“Great cocktails, excellent service.“

“Food drinks were good. Hospitality was great“

“When you think of a speakeasy… this place looks like what comes to mind. Down a flight of stairs leading to oversized doors you find yourself stepping back in time and greeted by a skilled bartender sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for an after dinner drink or to just hang out with friends.“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“Stayed at a hotel nearby and found the Hive Bar as we walked the neighborhood. We were looking for something fast and tasty and the pizza did not disappoint!! They were trying out a new menu (for the Super Bowl) so we snacked on popcorn chicken and tatters as well. Tatters are a favorite!!“The” Old Fashioned cocktail was amazing!! Our bartender was an expert and made this delicious drink delicious every time!The bar is accessible, with a bar and tables on the first floor, and an elevator to the rooftop bar. The pizza/food is delivered from &Pizza which is attached to the hotel.Street parking was easy on the weekend.“

“Love the Art and reasonable pricing“

“A ramen shop that serves some hearty meals in a fun-looking interior with colorful lights and designs. The staff are attentive, and the food is brought out quickly. I would recommend their Black Miso Cheese Ramen, which had a good broth, especially compared to the Tokyo Ramen. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles, as they were a little on the tough side. We also tried the Tako Corn Dogs, which were on the doughier side and would not recommend.“

“This place was wonderful. The food was just the right portion for trying a little bit of everything paired with a couple of glasses of very reasonably priced wines.“

“Great drinks, attentive and fun bartenders in a cool, laid back atmosphere. After experiencing a night of disappointing and overpriced cocktails, this place made all right with the world. I ordered a Paper Plane and it was fantastic. Love this place.“

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

“A great surprise! First time tasting Ethiopian cuisine, we really liked the flavors even if some were a little spicy for us... a cuisine that deserves to be known.The service was very long at the beginning before someone came to see us but the waitress was very nice and we were then quickly served.We recommend this address!“

“The folks at this place are so, so nice. I had a little snafu with online ordering today— the 3rd party app I used canceled my order, and I didn’t realize until I got to the restaurant to pick it up. The manager (?) who greeted me at the front of the restaurant immediately took care of it, and made my to-go order super fast! I think his name was Matt (? based on my receipt, although he might have had someone else ring it up). Anyway, thank you for being so kind and accommodating!Also, the food was excellent!!! The burger was delicious, and the fries were crispy and very tasty. The salad was excellent too.“

“Great place for mussels!“

“Incredible dive bar, very impressive beer list, free popcorn?? Very attentive and efficient service, bartender was 100% aware of what was up. Great ambience/vibes. Couldn't ask for more. 10/10 spot, would recommend to anyone for a quality beer an unpretentious night out. “

“All of our appetizers and our two pizzas was a real food experience. The creations and presentation were outstanding. We had a large variety and each dish was amazing . The pistachio baklava cheesecake was over the top. Staff very friendly too❤️“

“Great drinks & the servers were very attentive.“

“Yes! I love the concept. I love how it’s a hand made patty and the burger was cooked perfectly. In addition, you have an option to add items to your burger if you do the build your burger option. You can also choose their preselected choices which look really good. I chose to add sautéed onions, bacon, and Italian sausage. I will say although the Italian sausage was good, I wouldn’t add it again; it didn’t hurt the burger overall. You choose your seasoning (I chose basic), sauce (house bbq), lettuce and tomato. I also ordered the seasoned fries (garlic parmesan). I was curious so I asked for the spicy ranch. It was pretty good.“
