I wish I remembered his name) and none of the workers ever seemed “pissed off” and in general were positive and helpful.", "Its a very small boutique grocery store. Most of the selections are on the high end. Shrugs its dupont.", "Rude staff. They dump your groceries into a cart without asking if you want any bags, then, when you ask for some, they’ll condescendingly hand you the bags and tell you to get out of the way while you bag your groceries. The self-checkout machines are almost always out of service, too.", "They run out of stock quick and its small and they dont sell cake or pies...", "Great prices and travel friendly", "Mr Cornell was the most helpful kid in all Safeway’s I ever shopped. Thank you very much Sir. Stay Safe", "Lines to the back of the store and little social distancing going on. This location is completely incapable of getting customers in and out of the store safely in a reasonable time-frame. I left without my groceries and won't be going back.", "Consistently terrible. Bad selection, bad service and the store is always a disaster. Today at 5pm there was not a single staffed register. Self-checkout only, the line for which went all the way down the aisle. Still, there were a handful of employees walking around seemingly aimlessly. One gentleman working with produce had a safeway lanyard but was wearing loose fitting sweatpants with the drawstring sticking out and a dirty t-shirt.", "Rather small, I prefer the one in Georgia Avenue.

Not known as the Soviet Safeway for nothing. Shelves are not restocked based on demand--so there is frequently a shortage of Tropicana grapefruit juice or plain soda water., for example. Too few cashiers are working. There has been no lox latetely, etc....", "Abysmal. The single worst Safeway ever. And it just gets worse and worse. I go because it's close. Then again, so is my toilet. Please fix it or close it. Please.", "No public restrooms and it was real \"buggy\" in the produce section.", "Pretty limited selection, bad organization, and the line is always too long.

The staff is great.", "Was treated very poorly by a rude cashier named Danny at this location--customer service is clearly not a priority for Safeway. I will not be going back to shop here.", "in the expensive city like DC, their price is as low as you can get.", "Female manager (couldn’t get her name because she was too embarrassed probably to say it) was miserable. Some people aren’t cut out for customer service like her. Will never go back. Plus they don’t take care of the outside and it is disturbing going in there. I’ll stick with Harris Teeter from no on even though it’s miles further.", "Been going for years! Still great : )", "Usually not great for finding things consistently. Not enough staff at checkout", "Smallest Safeway I’ve ever seen but since it is my neighborhood Safeway ... I have been shopping here for nearly 40 years. It’s a very small grocery store with narrow aisles and therefore a rather limited selection.", "Some what a Ghetto Safeway. I rather go to other locations", "Decent neighborhood grocery.", "Clerks are unfriendly and sometimes rude. Before Covid the store was poorly stocked. Items coming and going. Find something you like and you can be sure after a week or so it disappears from the shelf for good.", "Not big choise. Prices are pretty expensive", "do not go here under any circimstances, and do not hire anybody who has ever worked here; in fact, most or all Safeways in the Washington, D.C., area should be avoided, but this one in particular", "Surprising large supermarket for an urban area.

You only come here if you are looking for dairy or prepackaged foods, otherwise you go elsewhere if you need something fresh. The fresh food selection is almost nonexistent, no butcher or seafood counter, vegetables are in poor condition if they are even stocked, nasty staff who can be quite hostile to ask questions from, and a deli counter that is barely functional.", "Its in a good location serving a young population of well payed couples. The shop is past it's best. It tries to keep up by cramming as much as it can into a small space. It fails, it doesn't have everything. But it tries. It's a little claustrophobic and takes time to find things. It has the worst fried food possible. Paying is also compact on the up side prices are cheaper than whole foods. Money machine often out of money. A key cutting machine. Place yo park bike may a bit of street parking but generally a busy street. Infront of a remodeled McDonald's. Clean and bright. Homeless on both sides of the street. Mostly harmless. Liquor store and sandwich shop near by and a selection of resturants.", "Only two self checkouts were in operation in the entire store.

Conservatives stay away.", "This particular Safeway is trash but it's the closest grocery store to my home. I would recommend you go to Harris teeter instead.

The selection of meat is terrible; the containers of chicken are sometimes leaking, best buy dates are often unmarked or shelved beyond the date, and they don't have many good cuts of meat when they are fresh. The quality of produce is bad, such as moldy onions. The back warehouse emits a bad stench as you walk past it. It's disgusting, and I rather walk further on for far better food.", "Stuff often go expired here but they still sell these. You have to look carefully. Staff are extremely rude and are the most rude people I have ever seen on earth since I was born.

I find most of what I want, but I can count on looking for something that's not in stock\nThis is annoying because I live .5 miles away, and walking, and won't go back the next day to look again.\nAll in all, it's pretty good. Location is convenient for the neighborhood, though there is no Metro nearby and parking is difficult most times.

Poor staff and overpriced items.", "Really don’t want to be hard on this neighborhood Safeway, but they keep managing to find ways to fail. Management that is. (The cashiers, thankfully, no longer fiddle with their phone playlists while checking you out.) Management seems to be trying to save $30 every night by having only one cashier available from like 10 to midnight. They’ve closed the self check out by this time so that means you can end up with a wait of up to 5-10 minutes to get some small item. It looks like there’s a manager on duty at the same time but I’ve never seen him pop over to open a register when the one line gets long.\n\nUPDATE: Still an issue. Just 1 cashier. 10 minute wait. 4 other staff nearby chatting. None qualified to run the register?\n\nUPDATE 2: hooray! It’s 11:30 PM and this Safeway now has 2 self checkouts open in addition to the cashier. And the manager quickly came over to help me with a problem with my register.

Used it regularly when in DC.", "They don't call it Soviet Safeway for nothing. Only reason it Gets 2 stars is for the friendly staff" ]

[ "Food was very good. My son thought the burger was one of the best ever and he is somewhat of a connoisseur. Pizzas were good. The scallop app was probably the best thing we had, but app has a connotation of a large enough portion to share, which for a party of 2, maybe. A party of 4 should order 2. Waiter was good, but not especially attentive. We got everything we needed, but it was bare minimum. He was nice enough but glasses were empty.", "I’m a regular of this awesome restaurant for a reason! You’d be hard pressed to get such a variety and quantity of food for such a killer price. The ingredients are always fresh and quality, and the spices are plenty. Highly recommend this place to anyone!", "Really enjoyed the food. Service was good and everything was moderately priced. Would certainly go there again. We went on a weeknight. Although it was fairly quiet when we were seated (around 6pm) it got quite busy and loud by the time we left (7pm).", "Overall the food was really good and the service was great as well. Our favorite dip was the carrot haydari. Also really enjoyed the lamb sausage, the pork tacos, and the short rib. The asparagus salad was a little too lemony for us but still really interesting to try. Everything was also beautifully presented.", "They're always on point. The burger was excellent. Their steak was a little tasteless, but cooked to perfection! Delicious brussel sprouts and yummy fish and chips. Yumm", "We had such a great experience at Commissary DC! We enjoyed the $35 restaurant week special which was a steal. Our server, Haley, was very attentive and friendly as well as the rest of the staff. It seemed like management definitely has it together from seating us right away, to quick service, to delicious food from the kitchen. Highly recommend if you are looking for a casual, affordable, and good quality meal with drinks in DC! We can't wait to go back for their daily happy hour or weekend brunch.", "the perfect brunch spot - I sat outside but the inside looks so cozy to do work in the future. Sometimes you just need a go-to brunch spot that does all the known dishes and Commissary did just that ~ and they tasted amazing. Our server and host were nice and accommodating to our needs.", "Great Saturday happy hour. Good food. Great price and absolutely wonderful service!", "This place is great. Really good food and service. I just recently visited this restaurant for the first time and I was first unsure b/c I was looking for a really good place that has breakfast. I'm so glad I decided to dine in. I ordered the blueberry pancakes with home fries, eggs and Turkey sausage. Everything I tasted was awesome. I will definitely go back and will tell other ppl about this restaurant. The service here was amazing. It started out a little rough because they couldn't find my reservation but were able to accommodate quickly! My family has a lot of allergies, but our server was SO patient, knowledgeable, reassuring and understanding. I really wish I knew his name to give him credit but... He really concentrated on what we couldn't eat and made sure our orders were perfect and for that I am extremely grateful! I think that people can get easily frustrated with menu order alterations and substitutions but not here.They have a ton of healthy food options, vegetarian and vegan options! They also offer a lot of brunch drink specials so I would love to come back with friends.The place itself is like a new age coffee shop local restaurant kinda deal. I think it's cute and will be back! I ordered the shakshuka and it's good but made with tomato sauce not too many tomatoes or plum tomatoes like I'm used to. But still good!", "Great pizza! And the pork belly appetizers is delish . Also loved chicken burger salad !", "I would give commissary extremely high marks for how they are handling social distancing, keeping things sanitized and making the best out of a bad situation during the pandemic. They have just added seating in a blocked off area on the road on P Street which makes it much easier to get an outside seat. Although I live only a block from commissary, it used to be one of my least favorite restaurants in DC. However I've been going there recently for breakfast, sitting outside and enjoying great service and generally good food.\n\nI've noticed they are particularly good at working with people that have dietary restrictions and allergies. I happened to to be with someone that has extreme allergies and someone came out to the kitchen to discuss the meal with him before making it. I found that very impressive.\n\nThe smoothies are fantastic fresh and reasonably priced (try the peach!). I wish they had regular pork sausage for breakfast because I find the turkey sausage pretty terrible (and they seem to be precooked and warmed up before serving)! I would consider this one of the most improved experiences that I've had in a long time! Service and safety and adherence to social distancing, five stars. Food 3.5 stars.", "It was our first time to dine out in over 4 months due to the pandemic. We were in DC for visas and this place was right by our hotel. The front desk guy recommended it. We walked over and felt really safe. The staff kept their masks on the whole time and kept their distance from us. That was really important to us. The food was delicious. We went both mornings we were in the city and would definitely go back.", "Good food, atmosphere and very attentive staff.", "Great burgers, pork belly, and sweet potato fries, but holy cow, the carrot cake!", "Phenomenal steak, goodness gracious that bad boy was seasoned to perfection! Mussels appetizer was disgusting, made me nauseous. I suspect it was all the slimy, huge tomato pieces in the dish. I don’t like warm soupy tomatoes with my mussels. Fries were fire! I definitely recommend", "food was good but poor customer service", "Great happy hour, food was great, service was great!", "Service was very slow, food was not the best. We were really disappointed.", "Outdoor dining is available and the food is great.", "Visited during the pandemic.\nFirst time being there. They have hand sanitizer everywhere and had the tables clearly spaced out and labeled to prevent anyone from sitting within 6 feet of each other. All staff members were wearing a mask, maintained a reasonable distance while interacting with us. They also had their tables clearly labeled to signify if they were sanitized and ready for use. They are definitely being conscious of guest needs in this climate.\n\nThe bar, was closed but it is open/facing the entire dining room. They have banquette style tables (booth seating against the wall with tables and chairs to create seating for guests) and couch style seating with tables in the center of the room. They had outdoor seating with umbrellas. I did not take advantage of it as it was 95+ and humid during my visit (AC let's be friends).\n\nHost was pleasant, welcoming and direct about the options we had with a online menu or using a physical menu which was available. My buddy and I used the digital option and had no issues with it. It loaded up promptly and was clear to see and interact with (zoom, scroll, etc).\n\nThe waitresses was lovely and provided wonderful service. She was able to answer all of our questions and provide us with the modifications that we desired (I took the yogurt out of the Peach Smoothie and subbed my cheese in the omelette). She was patient and attentive throughout. (I forgot your name, I'm sorry).\n\nI had the spinach, mushrooms and cheddar omelette (subbed the cheddar for Swiss) and add turkey sausage to the omelette. I wish the sausage and mushrooms were more finely diced (stay with me) so that a bite of all the ingredients could have been savored at the same time (there's only so much you can do with spinach). I was left with either a chunk of sausage or an entire mushroom tip. Side note: the omelette does not come with the sausage IN it. That is strictly a modification that I made. I'm merely pointing it out because the mushrooms, which do come in the dish normally, were not diced into smaller pieces. The hash browns were nice and crispy and went well with the dish.\n\nI enjoyed my time. I'm glad I was able to attend there today. I like the presentation and service that the establishment provided. I look forward to attending here in the near future and continually once the pandemic is under control.", "Pretty fast service, great food, and great atmosphere", "Excellent food. Great service. Was clean and managed very professionally. Felt very safe there. Went for brunch and enjoyed their brunch for 2 special that came with a mimosa pitcher: bottle of champaign + 2 juices. Covid-19 safety measures seemed top of mind: They marked tables that were clean, offered outdoor seating, kept people socially distant, wore and insisted on masks for the public safety and health of patrons and staff. Looking forward to going again." ]

[ "Waited over an hour to be seated outside for brunch to have them tell me that they were closing and I could eat inside or not at all. I told them the hostess had given me a 30 minute wait time when we arrived. They responded with \"some time people sit longer than expected.\" Ummmm... you have a time limit on your tables? So if people sit longer than that limit that's on you for a lack of enforcement of your own rules. Gentleman that spoke to us after we waited an hour was rude and had no customer service skills.", "Great food and affordable prices", "Came in for the Winter Restaurant Week and was blown away. Commissary is a Go-To for my family and I.", "Would not recommend their vegan pancakes: dry and dense, came with a pitiful amount of pear compote, no syrup or whipped cream.", "Great breakfast experience....waitress was attentive and the mango mimosa is the bees knees....keep 'em coming.....will be back....", "Really good, loved it. Would recommend!", "The guy name jak he has a Poor customer service I ever seen he has he don’t treat me as a customer I very upset about this store\nNever come back again", "Please don't order online from here. We scheduled an order for pick-up at 11:30 AM. The food was ready twenty minutes early and simply sat out on the bar. Needless to say, the food was cold when we got home with the order, and the reason we ordered pick-up was because we live so close. The restaurant also left out pieces of my order that I payed extra for. I'm unimpressed.", "Great go-to spot in Logan circle! A great place to take a large group since they have a ton of options for everyone. The food and atmosphere has always been great and it’s even better when you can sit outside!", "Wonderful service, delicious gluten free pancakes and coffee!!! They also have the tables skipped so there is a safe distance and masks are required if you leave your table.", "Cute and reasonably priced for DC! Brunch was fantastic, definitely recommend the brunch for two deal, any two entrees on the menu plus coffees and a whole bottle of champagne and a pitcher of orange juice for $55.", "Ordered here after checking out other places, reviews, and the like. Great menu and choices. When we ordered the gentleman asked if we had an allergies they should be aware of. Had never been asked that before and it was very thoughtful and took no effort on their end. What a cool place with a different furniture vibe and environment. Recommend this to anyone visiting DC. Oh yeah...food was terrific.", "I've been here twice. Commisary is a \"rose\" bar, but they also have a lot of unique/fun cocktails to choose from. I love the Commi Combo, which is a glass of sparkling rose and a shot of bourbon. The frozen old fashioned is perfect for a hot day. They market their menu as local and sustainable, which I definitely look for in a restaurant. They have a reasonable selection of vegan and vegetarian options as well as omni food as well. The first time we came, our server was kind of cold and short with us, but the second visit was much more pleasant with a fun, outgoing server who was happy to wait on us even though we came right as they opened. Overall, it's a good local spot that I will definitely visit again.", "Dope restaurant in a great location. Service was good and fast. The food could use a little more seasoning though. I loved the spiked hit chocolate! It’s a winner!", "Food was GREAT!!! Even though our hostess and waitress were bothered great and served my family and I well. We awaited over an hour waiting on the food and waiting to be seated. Great place to visit with great food. However, next time I will definitely come at a better time of morning, we got here around 1030. This is a very busy time of morning on the weekends.", "The place is popular!

I will definitely go back and will tell other ppl about this restaurant.", "I really like the food at Commisarry, and I appreciate their vegan options for all day breakfast, as well as dinner. Only giving 4 stars because I've always had to wait a bit for the food than you would expect. We also went there with a large group at one point. We had made a reservation well in advance, so they knew we were coming. But we waited 1.5 hours for our food. And when kine came out, my food had bell peppers on it, which I asked to not be included because I'm allergic. And the server accused me of not telling her this. My colleagues backed me up and told her that I did inform her. Also, this was super rude of her to do. If this had been my first time there I would never return. But all my other experiences have been good. They've also got a lovely little patio." ]

The pizza is amazing, with unique, gourmet topping combinations and perfectly cooked, delicious crust. The extensive selection of draft and bottled beer regularly includes exiting option I've never seen elsewhere, making for a memorable flight. For the social-issue inclined, regular special menus focused on women's history, elections, and the Census add to the enjoyment.

A must!", "Had a pick-up order for work. The service was great--the host was friendly and quick, she confirmed our order was correct and got everything ready for us with no issue. The salad with the balsamic dressing was tasty. But the PIZZA? Eh. 3 out of 5 The crust was tough and the cheese was stiff--it slid off the pizza in one big mass when bitten into.

A bit expensive, but by far the best pizza in the area.", "AMAZING PIZZA! I love this place so much, it’s not greasy at all, very traditional and they go pretty light on the cheese and tomato sauce (I get the Margherita), which allows me to put a lot of Parmesan cheese which I love. The smaller size (10” I believe?) can work for one person and the bigger (14”?) is good for two people although we’ve had to get a dessert if we shared.", "last night was our first time we came to that magnificent restaurant.

The beer selection and the olives they bring out are also big highlights.", "This review is based on the beer - great selection between drafts and bottles. Their \"Cellar List\" of rare bottles has some great selections at great prices. I stuck to the drafts since they had Maine Beer's Lunch & an IPA craving. It was great having a drink on the patio, added bonus that they served me a little dish of olives on the house.", "Not worth the $20+ dollars for the pie.

It’s probably not the best pizza in town, but it’s still really good pizza. One thing they really excel at though (aside from the excellent beer list) is the pizza toppings.

Highly recommended!", "Rude workers. I was picking up part of a double delivery and asked for a status on the part I hadn’t gotten. I got no response. When I asked again and mentioned I simply was looking for an estimate of when it might be done so I could go across the street (80ft away) to pick up the other order I was interrupted and told in a rude tone that it would be out in a second. 10 minutes later and checking in with another worker, he pulled the pizza out from under a stack that had been forming.

Our server Crystale was super nice and happily explained the whole brunchbox situation to us, and was very attentive throughout our meal. We both got the unlimited brunch, and ordered 9 dishes between the two of us. Every single one of them was AMAZING. Small portions which are great for making sure you save room to try a bunch of different dishes, but still substantial enough to truly enjoy.

Definitely would recommend to anyone wanted a cool relaxing night in Washington.", "The food was awesome!! But for some reason we had a change of server before we could even order. Apparently she didn’t like the fact that she had to cancel the endless mimosas when we didn’t even order it.

Based on the lousy service I would NOT recommend this place.", "A big bustling restaurant with large open fires on which much of the food is cooked.

They have a massive selection of quick breakfast food (quiches, cookies, breads, and muffins). A pretty good drink menu. It can get pretty crowded and tight at the busier times. Decent spot to pop in on.", "Incredibly friendly and happy workers! Really glad I stopped by. Cappuccino was great.", "Cute local spot with great coffee and a selection of sweet and savory pastries, though sometimes the quiche is a little soggy. They have a nice rewards/points system if you punch in your phone number after paying. The outdoor patio is always full on sunny summer mornings, though the window spot inside is also worth your time while you sip your coffee.", "Basically turned business away by not opening when they they said they would. People inside didn't say when they would open either. Every waiting said they were good, but we went to Peet's coffee instead.", "Really great neighborhood spot. Reasonable prices, kind & speedy service, quality coffee and pastries. Highly recommend the maple scone.

Great food and delicious coffee. Nice vibe inside. Try the quiche!", "Neat place hidden away and delicious coffee.", "The food here was wonderful.

Everything was delicious but the pepperjack pablano corn biscuit really left an impression.", "The \"Country Christmas\" music was a nice touch Jimmy! Still the best bakery!!", "I loved the choices my boyfriend and I picked. He had the strawberry shortcake slice. I hade the strawberry filled cupcake. The cake was very moist and the berries oh so sweet. Perfect combination. The frosting on the cupcake was awesome. Frosting is my favorite part of a cake or cup cake. The right amount of sweetness. Will definitely return to make more purchases", "What a lovely spot! The lattes are fantastic, and they even have some vegan goodies. I think they change up, but I've seen vegan banana and pumpkin breads there.", "Cozy coffeeshop on U street with scrumptious quiches! With at least a dozen flavors to choose from, I'm glad I got the Tomato Mozzarella while my hubby went with the Bacon Onion Cheddar and Chocolate Croissant. We enjoyed the savory quiches and pastries with our Mocha and Cappuccino using illy coffee. The decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie was so moist and divine - taste like cookie dough. Definitely go for it!\n\nThe server was a bit grumpy. The quiches and sweet chocolate chip cookie made up for the sour service.\n\nThe local coffeeshop is hidden and low-key, tucked away with a nice neighborhood vibe. The seating is cozy with stools and small tables for 2 with more spacious seating outside, great for pups! There's also a dog park on S Street a block away.\n\nWill come again and bring our pup when it's warmer out for some quiche and head over to the dog park afterwards.", "I did not expect the quality of bakery.

I tried a few of their offerings and came away happy.\n\nThe brownie had a nice hint of ginger (I'm assuming) and the burst of salt. Definitely wanted some Vanilla ice cream to go with it :)\n\nThe Blueberry cake was really good to - perfectly moist and fresh taste.\n\nThe cold brew was good for me, but I'm not sure of its mass appeal. I like my coffee to be brewed middle strength - dont like it to be too strong - which is how this was brewed. But most other coffee shops make a strong brew version of the cold brew so some may find this coffee \"weak\".\n\nThe staff is super friendly and I will definitely be back to try their quiche offerings.", "My favorite coffee shop near DuPont. Small and charming, with good bakery and coffee.", "Lovely little cafe! The prices there are much more fair than other cafes around DC. I particularly love their iced coffee and chocolate croissants.", "A little bit biased because I got there literally everyday but great ice coffee and INCREDIBLE apple zucchini breads !!!!!", "Cute little hole in the wall on a quiet street. Lots of seating indoors and out. The chocolate chip cookie was good but not too decadent. And Illy coffee is always a fine choice. I'll be back for more mid-afternoon snacks!", "Cozy neighborhood coffee shop with quality coffee and pastries!", "This place is awesome!!!! One of my friends told me about this place and it's all that she said it would be. I came later in the afternoon and the young lady was very helpful considering it was my 1st time.

Great dim but natural lighting, chill coffee shop music and coffee too. Two thumbs up.", "It was too cold to sit outside but the space is cute. Really enjoyed the salted caramel brownie and the peanut butter Nutella cookie sandwich. Excited to try it out, with coffee, outside in warmer weather.", "ThreeFifty is bursting with charm and warm vibes! I've yet to have anything there that was not at least above average taste-wise (most of their stuff falls in the \"really quite tasty\" category). My only two complaints about this place is that (1) the prices are pretty steep, especially for the coffee, and (2) the place is pretty much always totally full of people when I go, so it's impossible to find a seat - it's a small place to begin with though, so it fills up quick. Otherwise, it's an absolutely lovely local gem and definitely worth a visit!", "Great little coffee shop. The staff are so nice and the Bacon, cheddar, and onion scone is delish!", "Comfortable cozy neighborhood cage and bakery with more outdoor seating than inside, which if not dark is not bright. The single serving quiches are fantastic.", "Great place, kind service and they also have the best banana bread ever!", "Amazing bakery. The best around. Their chocolate croissant is as good or better than what I have had in Spain. Love this place!", "Coffee is always good, the baked goods are always fresh, and it is a great spot to warm up in a cold day, enjoying the views outside.", "In my personal opinion the best fresh.... regular.... croissants I have ever had, atmosphere is nice and chill good cafe to grab coffee and enjoy a chill atmosphere", "The strawberry coconut muffin? What The... So insanely fresh. And the soy iced latte I got, which, whatever, soy is never better than regular milk but that's where I am in life, ok, was really even. The espresso was pulled just right.", "Super friendly service, good coffee, and the chocolate almond croissant was incredible! If you go early on a weekday, most likely won't be a line. :)", "Great pastries and excellent coffee.", "I would have given them a perfect 5, because the blueberry cheesecake I bought yesterday was a gem everyone deserves to try at least once in their lives. But I think their prices are just way too expensive." ]

[ "Tacos and chips were amazing. The atmosphere downstairs where we ate is really cool and cave-like, and the music was the right level. Downsides were our drinks were not very strong (served in a tall glass with a lot of ice) and also we had to wait for about 20 minutes last our reservation to sit. But overall, would definitely go again.", "been here a few times for brunch, happy hour, and at night and I had a great experience each time. Apart from the amazing food, the service my table and i received during brunch was amazing. We opted for bottomless brunch & my table and I were so pleased that our waiter was just bringing out food options for us to try. we barely looked at the menu, she just brought more of what we did like as we requested it. this made my whole experience; the food was delicious and filling. the mimosas were as strong as they should be, all in all, it was definitely worth the $39.", "Oh my God. Best food ever. I've had brunch and dinner there. Worth every cent. Wait staff was great. Aqua fresca was amazing", "Came here for Margarita Monday! I love that they have specials for the days of the week. My favorite has to be their pick any 3 tacos choice. I think their tacos are pretty good & the flavor is good", "Came here for brunch with a party of 3. We gave 3 cards at the end, but the waiter swiped one card for everyone. Fine that's cool, we could just pay our friend back, but I checked my bank statement and both my friend and I also got charged. So in the end, I got charged, paid my friend, and received no receipt.", "George in George Town was the GOAT. Highly recommend.\n\nFood: 9/10\nAtmosphere: 9/10\nService: 12/10 George was amazing. Very personable and knowledgeable bout the menu.", "A fun bar/club in DC! It has 3 floors but tbh I have only been on the ground floor for however long the queue was, as I spend most my time downstairs. The music was great especially if you are into hispanic styles. The drinks were slightly pricey but most clubs tend to be that way. I have never seen this place not filled to the brim with people so if you like crowded spaces with a convivial atmosphere this is the place for you", "The food was overpriced for what you get. Huge mixup with our order. I had a small plate and water and my friend ordered 2 beers and a meal. At the end we said separate checks, so she goes ahead and takes our cards before showing us the check and for some reason she just split it down the middle??? Why would I want to split my friends drinks and food? We didn’t even share an appetizer or anything that would suggest we wanted to split. My food was only $13 and I was charged double. We got refunded and charged the correct amount, but never an apology. It was not busy that night either.", "I love getting brunch here! It's all you can eat and drink small plates and a variety of cocktails. I don't normally love small plates with groups, but we just tell the server to bring out whatever they recommend. It takes away the stress of figuring out what to order and when and we get straight into it.", "A bit hit or miss soon the music - especially upstairs. Second line once you're in to get downstairs sometimes takes for ever. But a good time when it hits and the lines aren't so bad.", "Always a great Happy Hour spot. Great food, fun ambiance and great deals. I personally like the Serrano margarita.

We are looking forward to come back to DC and have more yummy food.", "Just went for their NYE dinner. The food was good... But the whole meal took two and a half hours.

Great selection on the menu and flavors are very unique. Service was fast. Will return again.", "Good food great atmosphere, we had the steak tacos, chicken quesadillas and mimosas that were simply amazing. On a side note, make a reservation even on a sunday morning at 11:00. Parking is a nightmare, so make sure you get here early. Other then that amazing spot for good food!!", "I’ve been to El Centro for happy hour, bottomless brunch, dinner and dancing. The bottomless brunch is awesome. Tasty food and drinks, and just a fun experience. Dinner was a great experience as well. Tacos were delicious. My friends and I ordered a pitcher of margaritas, which took a little while to make, but the bartender gave us each a tequila shot to make up for it. My most recent experience was happy hour, which was not as fun as my other visits. The drinks did not stay consistent. And while the music is always loud at El Centro, it was almost impossible to have a conversation with anyone at our small table. Overall, I’ve enjoyed my experience at this restaurant.", "Hands down, best DC Brunch for your money! Food and drinks are not only unlimited they are also delicious. They won’t kick you out after 2 hours, and will bring you as many items as you like. Also good food and service. This place has quality dishes outside of brunch and very good drink menu. Definitely go here.", "Wow. I've eaten here before and enjoyed the food, but my previous good/okay experience was completely overshadowed today when the 6 (SIX!) servers behind the bar refused to 1) clean the space in front of me (and others!) so I could actually settle in, and 2) acknowledge my presence in the slightest. Worst service I've ever actually encountered--this place could serve the best food in the world and I'd never go back knowing I'd be served by the same group of people.", "Nice Mexican restaurant on 14th Street. Cool neighborhood, we really liked the window seat that we were offered. Good food, great Margaritas, friendly staff.", "The service and atmosphere was really nice and welcoming. Our server was very nice and it was open roof on the upstairs level. However, the food was not very good. The bar was pretty good but limited options for a proper bar.", "Food and service were both great! We sat upstairs with open roof and awesome views. We had the hanging steak tacos, braised beef tacos, steak fajitas and all were great!", "Absolutely fantastic brunch menu. All you can eat and the service was attentive and courteous. We had a group of 10 and they accommodated us all extremely well. It was a birthday brunch and the waitress caught wind of it so she brought us all tequila shots on the house! It was a great experience and well worth the price (especially in D.C.). Look forward to coming back.", "Great place to dance !! Good music, good people, no cover. Just an advice on weekends: if you go before 11pm the dance can be empty and after 12pm it gets crowded and there is a line. So try to get there around 12:45 😉", "Horrific experience here at a place I frequent. I paid a pre-fixed price for bottom of the barrel, flash fried “shrimp” that was served to me 45 minutes after the rest of my party was served.", "Three levels, amazing food and drinks, and great service!\nThe caipirinha was really good!

[ "My wife and I picked this Mexican restaurant based on some Google Reviews and the proximity to our apartment.\n\nThe atmosphere is relaxed with a modern industrial decor. Exposed pipes, concrete and wood abound but is not over done. There is a large open siting bar that looks out to the street and the open kitchen in situated in the middle of the restaurant. We had excellent service from Luis and we were able to be seated quickly.\n\nThe food is fantastic, all local or made in house including a large selection of in house tequilas. We had an amazingly good gluten free calamari for an appetizer which would have been enough for 3-4 people. For dinner we had tacos (of course) and a hanger steak skillet platter. Both were very good and it reminded us of some of Johnny Hernandez's dishes in San Antonio. We could not finish our meals they were so large and had to take them home.\n\nOverall this place deserves 5/5 stars and I highly recommend it. The food is wonderful and authentic, service was great and the atmosphere was fun. We will return", "Cool location, nice rooftop. Ultra-strong drinks. The service is a little slow but they have a great Happy Hour menu from 5-7pm.", "Fantastic cocktails. Great ceviche! Awesome tequila selection. Are there twice in a 5 day visit to DC.", "Great food and drinks poor service took 50mins to get 1st drink 90mins for food need more servers", "Love/hate relationship. Decent for happy hour and brunch. Everything else depends on the bartender.", "Food and drinks were excellent and reminded our family of food we had while visiting Merida, Mexico.", "Very good, atypical Mexican food. A bit more expensive than typical Mexican. Good service. We were downstairs, which was quieter at first but progressively louder. If you want loud music and dancing, go later. If you want quieter atmosphere for conversation, go earlier.", "security people was so rude to us we will not come back and also the food was unclean", "Eh. Place is OK. They use to be really awesome, but they've definitely gotten diluted since last time I was here. Service is a bit slow, the menu items just aren't spot on, and the brunch isn't really a great deal. Drinks are weak, hard to get, and the service is slow.", "Service was pretty terrible. Asked for a table for 2, was told there would be a wait when the place was filled with empty tables. Thankfully found a seat at the bar because the hostess never bothered to let us know when a table was ready. At first the bar was filled with barbacks and no bartenders, then they all disappeared and the bar was dirty and clogged with empty glasses for the rest of our time there. The outside was completely unattended to and was COVERED with empty glasses and plates for the entire 2 hours I was there. Everyone got chips and salsa except us, I figured maybe we had to order food. Nope, didn't matter. Saw a cook wipe his mouth and then continue prepping food, lovely. Food average. Towards the end, a Russian or Polish bartender named \"Bani\" who we called Superman swooped in and saved the day for us, but unfortunately too late. He is the reason I didn't give 1 star. He was a champ, took care of everything that everyone else was supposed to do the whole time prior. Give that guy a huge raise.", "Planned my fiance's birthday party here and received probably the most amazing service ever. I called a few weeks ahead and had a table huge table reserved for our 15+ group for a fantastic diner (you gotta get the al pastor street tacos). Then, when the entire restaurant turns into a club at 11 pm we arranged bottle service on the roof and had our own personal VIP area. Nothing feels better than popping a bottle of bubbly in such an electric atmosphere. I know I'm singing their praises, but I've hosted parties all around DC (Salsa Room, Bossa, Cuba Libre) and this was by far my best experience. Serious shout out to Bar Manager Kevin.", "Went there for the party. It was fun. The DJ was good.", "One of my favorite places to visit when I am in DC. Great guacamole and other street food staples. Very tasty margaritas, good service, and a fun crowd. A must visit place. Be warned, not open for lunch (at least during the week).", "Great place for small variations on traditional Mexican and unique plates to boot. Nice choices from appetizers to desserts and decent wines and mixed drinks. The tortilla soup is a creamy bisque with a nice finishing bite. Try the Chicken Zapada for a change of pace. Generous portions and reasonable prices too. Friendly and attentive staff.", "Great staff and food. Cocktails also great", "Food and staff was very good. Quick delivery of order. Was pretty dark in there but seemed fairly clean.", "El Centro was not what I expected. The service was terrible and slow. I could deal with bad service if the food is good. The food looked scrumptious and delightful, but when I put that steak in my mouth the flavor was absent and the taste of burned cardboard was for ever present. I tried it other sides but couldn't find the strength to continue eating that garbage. The manger removed that item off my check but that will not make me return. This restaurant gives the good Mexican restaurant a bad name.", "Love this place! The margaritas during happy hour are so big and you really get a great deal. Best Mexican happy hour in the DC AREA\nfor sure!", "We just ate here and it was fantastic! Probably some of the best enchiladas I’ve ever had! Service was awesome, cool atmosphere, highly recommend!", "This was my first time here and although the food was good, I think the food portion was extremely small. It was four of us and we all placed our orders but only two came out. Three of us ordered steak tacos and the one order came out with three and we waited for the other two orders and when they came out 15 minutes apart, one order had two and the last order haff one. It wasn't that busy so, I couldn't understand why our order was delayed each time. I will go back again🤗 everyone deserves a second chance." ]

This place is must-have while in DC.", "Awesome falafel and interesting sauces. Would recommend.", "The falafel's are always great..", "I really recommend this place if you like frites and falafel with a little bit of spice!", "The falafel here is pretty good, much much better than Cava. The portion size was a bit small, and I had to season the fries myself when I got home, but overall the Falafel bowl was tasty, and I'd probably order it again. The vegan sauce option is definitely a plus!", "Small but a great place. First time I ate there. Good food and definitely recommended it", "Great setup they have, even during COVID-19 times. Lots of toppings to choose from, you can have a pita bowl or sandwich, but it pairs nicely with the fries, and is almost like a boardwalk food. 👍", "DC staple that's 100% reliable 100% of the time.", "Date of visit; July 18, 2020. It took 25 mins to get our food and would have been longer if I did not get up to check on my order. We were the only people inside at the time and the line began to build up due to\n\n1) A nice but chatty and slow order taker.\n\n2) The prep staff simply forgetting to make our order.\n\nWhat’s the deal? It’s hot in there, the drinks we ordered were not even offered to us while we waited, and they also forgot our sauces. PLUS, they included the two items in my pita I asked to be omitted.\n\nUsually going here is a painless experience. But this is my first time back since lockdown, and I came all the way from Arlington just for this place because their fries are WORTH IT. Can’t say I feel inspired to come anytime soon.", "They've always been great! We've been going here for a decade.

It’s long-standing place on late night food lists distracts from how good a choice it is at all times of day.", "Always delicious. 😋", "The entire staff was very polite and professional. Very near closing, but I never felt rushed. Got the regular falafel bowl. The cook asked if I wanted to flatten out / crush them. Recommend. You can place more of the fresh & tasty ingredients in the bowl. The falafel was hot & fresh. Couldn't begin to name what I added, but I couldn't be happier with the result.

And almost everything is vegan. Delicious. Generous portions. Helpful staff.", "Nice cute place, falafels are made fresh to order. The toppings are fresh and if you run out, you can get a little more with a small sauce container. So why not the 5 stars? The service. The guy running the counter totally ignored us when we came in and we stood at the counter as he cleaning the floor with no acknowledgement that we were there to order. The food is definitely good though. Would still recommend.", "Maybe if you are an expert in falafels, it would be 4 or 5 stars. So, for me to give it a higher number, they would have to have some suggestions for how to mix the toppings and garnishes. you can sample them, but it would be nice for an expert to put one's together that make your falafel taste good.\n\nSo, it was an interesting grungy little place. Part of the charm I guess is there are a handful of tables all crammed together in a small area.\n\nThe falafels themselves were freshly cooked for you. to me they are just like a southern hush puppies which I don't really like either, so I would be a difficult one to thrill. I tried virtually every topping and found most of them similar in taste and none particularly biting.", "Long time favorite. Friendly, indoor outdoor seating. Pick your own fresh tasty, delicious toppings! 😊", "Very friendly staff, fresh topics to build your own falafel sandwich, great fries and big portions.

I'm partial, but Falafel inc is better and less expensive", "I’m usually pretty picky about falafels as I haven’t come across many places that hit the spot. This place is great and I love that it is make your own bowl or wrap. Their fries were yummy too.

And - most importantly - when you wake up hungover the next morning, find a half eaten slice in your fridge (even though you don't remember going there and then suddenly question what else you did that night), there's comfort in knowing that whatever bad decisions you did make, at least you went to Duccini's, because their reheated drunk food is also decent hangover breakfast.", "Great service, great pizza, Duccini’s 😁", "Classiest pizza place around.

I spoke with several hotels and was treated rudely over the phone to such an extent that I was so infuriated that I began to rant and rave in public using expletives. Then I spoke with the Assistant General Manager, Mr. Rajesh Joshi, at Comfort Inn on 13th street. Immediately I felt relief in just hearing his tone of voice. Mr. Joshi told me to call him by his first name and assured me that there was nothing to worry about and that he would personally accommodate all my room requirements. Upon arrival, Rajesh proved to be the CONSAMENT PROFFESSIONAL AND GENTLEMAN. There is no doubt in my mind that this man has one objective and one objective only, 100 % customer satisfaction. Every request during a 2 week stay was met without hesitation and with a sincere smile. Rajesh's courthouses was equalled by his entire support staff, from the ladies who leave the rooms spotless after cleaning to the front desk clerks. In particular, Ms. Diamond Barber greeted me with a hello and great big smile each and every time I came down to breakfast or ask for assistance. Everything I thanked Ms. Barber, she responded \"It was my PLEASURE\"! And you could tell she meant it. It turns out that Ms. Barber's name is on a plaque which recognizes her outstanding accomplishments in customer service. I almost forgot about the rooms. They were worth much more than the nightly rate charged. I have lived in 8 different cities in 5 different states in the U.S., staying in many hotels. The next time I need a hotel room, I will not hesitate to stay at a Comfort Inn...no matter what city in the U.S. if in Washington DC, I will only stay at location managed by Mr. Rajesh Joshi. I recommend everyone who reads my comments do the same. If you don't, you will be making a grave mistake.

The room was very clean and the breakfast and breakfast area were really nice as well. The gym was also exceptional for a hotel with all of its equipment in working order.\n\nThe downside was that room service accidentally broke my laptop charger. When I notified the front desk of this a guy explained they would credit my bill by taking off one night. Upon checking out I ask for a bill and see that this was not the case. Although I do see my last nights rate was different the woman at the front desk informs me that the price difference could be due to rooms prices being different on different days. So I call there corporate number and they explain they can't do anything but relay the message since this property is individual owned and that I should get a response within 24-48 hours. This was also not the case I heard nothing for over a week and called again and waited another week before hearing back. The owner did seem concerned and and took down my email to send me some information for a reimbursement but did not follow through. I even called a week after we spoke and left my email on his voicemail and still nothing. This could have been a great stay but the lack of communication makes it subpar.

They did provide breakfast still which was nicely wrapped up and in a bag. The place is just quite rundown overall and smells old - carpets in bad condition. Due to the current time we are in housekeeping is not done on a daily basis which is understandable. I was still able to get towels at the front desk. I had a three day stay and housekeeping came once which was fine. I cleaned up and threw out the garbage. You get what you pay for and I needed to go to DC in a hurry as my usual hotels were closed (Fairfax at Embassy Row). There was a dead water bug on the inside of the front entrance at bottom of stairs. Also don’t know if this is usual for them but I felt that the hotel seemed to be a “half way house” or “ short stay” hotel. I would not stay here again. However, all staff was nice - its not their fault.", "Rooms were run down, sink was the same size as in an airplane lol serious about that too... I came in from a long drive, so if might need to use the bathroom go before you come into DC.", "Very nice and priced lower than most Hotels in D.C. that are close to the Smithsonian. The rooms are well cleaned and up to date, the bathroom is a little small but not a deal breaker. Morning breakfast is great and large selection. Always tea and coffee at the front with afternoon snack. Well recommended!", "While it may not be classified as a 5 star hotel, the hospitality is a 10 star. I'd rather have outstanding service than to have glitz and glamour! It is clean and convenient. All of the aforementioned is what Comfort Inn, Downtown D.C. offers!", "Stayed three nights, September 20-23. This was our second stay in 2 years. Hotel was clean; desk staff, especially Raj, very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast room very nice but small; breakfast fare the usual and kept well stocked. Orange or lemon infused ice water and coffee available in lobby. Cookies in the afternoon. Hotel is convenient to convention center and metro stop. Room was average size for major metropolitan hotel. Only negatives were sirens during the night from nearby emergency services which are beyond hotel control and a clock two hours fast we couldn't reset. However, the front desk has complimentary earplugs for those bothered by the sirens. All in all, we would definitely stay again if in DC.", "We spent just two nights on a pleasure trip to D.C., and found the hotel met our needs just fine. The front desk staff were amazing, all very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located about 4 - 5 blocks from 3 different Metro stations, so we were able to go everywhere without bringing a car to the city - definitely saving on the price of parking at the hotel or in the area. It also walking distance to several museums and lots of restaurants. The hotel room was small, which is all we needed, as it included a refrigerator. The lobby area has a microwave available, along with a small theater-style popcorn machine that is used in the evenings. The breakfast is ample, including the ever-popular waffles, though the coffee could be stronger. :-) The dining area is pleasant and has adequate seating, often a problem at hotels. We didn't use the fitness room, but checked it out and it seems standard. The WiFi was a bit spotty. \nOverall, the hotel is in a good location, with great service and at a reasonable price. We definitely would stay here again.", "Small bedroom and smallest bathroom I have ever been in for a hotel room. Had to sit on toilet at an angle because it is that close to the bath tub. Beds are hard (really). Biggest con is the noise. I was on 6th floor and could hear people in the street. That isn’t even the worst noise... There is a fire station just down the street and connected to that building is a disabled/senior citizen living area. Every single night multiple times we were awoken by blasting sirens and a couple nights they never stopped. So loud it was as if my windows were open. We were there for 5 nights. It saved us money but at a cost!", "Professional and helpful staff. Mostly serene. Clean. My room was relatively small (compared to other Comfort Inns/Choice Hotels). Also, the walls appear to be thin so one occasionally hears sounds from adjoining rooms. The internet was quite slow. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.", "The rooms were small, but clean. The bed was very comfortable. The main entrance required walking up a half flight of stairs, which was inconvenient with luggage. Breakfast was good, but they ran out of some items that were not replenished in a timely manner. Overall, though, this is a very good hotel in a great location for a very reasonable price.", "Everything was great till I saw a mouse run under the door into my room on my last night there.", "For an older building with very small rooms/baths, we had a great stay. The breakfast area and selection is way above average. But, most importantly, the staff was friendly, helpful and professional. We’d definitely stay again.", "My friend and I stayed two nights at the Comfort Inn in Washington. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was a nice addition to our stay. I enjoyed the freshly made waffles.\nThe hotel was central to our destination.\nRaj was very helpful and assisted us with all our questions and concerns.\nI plan to return to see more of Washington's sights and stay at this Comfort Inn.", "On a recent week long visit to DC, we stayed at this hotel and it was our best ever experience in DC. The Metro was a short walk. The hotel was clean and well equipped and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and pleasant. Breakfast every morning was delicious and the afternoon cookies are to die for. Also, the neighborhood was a real plus. It was very pleasant and seemed quite safe. We had no complaints whatsoever and will stay here again when in DC.", "Staff accommodating and friendly. Location good, we walked to the White House, memorials and museums. Lots of restaurants and shopping lose by. The price was good for being downtown. We had a King room, which was a little on the small size but worked well for us. The room had a strong smell..not sure if it was new wallpaper that smelled. It wasn’t bad enough to complain or ask for another room. Some of the furniture in the room showed signs of wear. The elevators were very small, but again this wasn’t a huge deal. The breakfast was typical for this chain of hotels. There was a selection of cereals, eggs, sausage and waffles. Also oatmeal. Eating area nice, lots of seating. The fees for the valet parking I think should be less for guests, but we were pleased with the valets and the ease of using this service. I would stay here again.", "As frequent Choice hotel visitors, we were not impressed with this location. I stayed here for an early appointment the following day but won't visit this location again. The greeting was not pleasant and we were notified that they only had valet parking and it was $35 a night. This should be stated in the reservation process. Once checked in we went to the room through the tiny elevators and the dingy hallways. The place needs a definite update. The room was much smaller than anticipated, the ac was loud an obnoxious but cooled, and the water pressure was non-existent. The breakfast was average. The best part of the stay was the TV and internet service. On checkout we called ahead to have the valet retrieve our vehicle only to come down 10-15 minutes later and the valet was just hanging around and our vehicle was still parked somewhere across the street. Not a great stay, not great service, and not a great location." ]

[ "Stayed for two nights. First night pipe burst, leaving guests with no water upon awaking, and no notification from staff as to the issue or a contingency plan — they just waited for guests to call the front desk as they discovered the problem. Water service returned about 9AM but our hallway was flooded. Returned to hotel that evening to find commercial blowers lining our hallway that ran loudly, all night long. No compensation for guests — the excuse was because it was a burst pipe ... it “wasn’t our fault”. Was unimpressed with the way guests were treated. Would not stay here again. Too bad, the hotel was relatively comfortable even with COVID restrictions and well located.", "It's nice here the prices could be a little better rated I under everybody has to make money but we are in the middle of a pandemic even with the vaccines and I'm working and the only get away I can get when blessed with some kind of money is at a hotel help us out please do a Customer Appreciation once or twice since #WeAreAllInThisTogether or maybe y'all are not?", "I was definitely disappointed with my stay. Although the front desk staff was nice and very helpful, the room needed much better cleaning. Fingernail clippings were on the floor, some kind of icing or paint or something was caked onto the remote for the TV, and there was a lot of mold and dried watermarks on the glass in the shower. The public areas needed touch ups too. There were markings and chipped paint on the walls in the hallways near the elevators. I was definitely disappointed by the condition of the room and the hotel as a whole.", "I enjoyed my stay! The room decor was nice! The location is great- there is a grocery store at the end of the block and many restaurants.", "Stayed here while moving daughter in next door. The hotel was nice enough but not great. There was dried blue nail polish all over the carpet in the room we stayed in. The room was large and the bed was comfortable.", "Prefect spot to unwine and enjoy the ambiance. Nice and cool restaurant named Roadhouse with the best crab soup! Definitely a great happy hour spot with a few friends. Also, I love the Cambria staff!", "Looks wise, hotel was very pleasing. Convenience wise, not so much. The only parking they offer is 5 spaces in the street Infront of the hotel, otherwise prepare to pay an extra $30 for overnight parking in the parking deck they have. Our bathroom door was messed up and hit the floor of the bathroom and the door would get stuck so we couldn’t get it to close all the way. Middle of the night the air conditioning kept making noises and waking us up. Wasn’t a terrible stay but I won’t be back and I won’t recommend it to anyone I know.", "Great location 5 blocks from U st, with a giant supermarket next door and convention center a block away. No reason to choose the Marriott over this, especially with comfortable bed, good toiletries, and 50$ lower price.", "The sheet in the pull out couch were dirty and the pillow they gave me had drool stains. That hotel is too pretty to have such poor cleaning services. It's legit COVID. and people want to stay in a CLEAN hotel room. Not come and find it dirty. Do better", "The pictures online were convincing however,... there was no parking. The only parking is alongside the busy street in front of other businesses. My vehicle was actually side swiped (& believe it or not, no one bothered to leave a note). You have to maneuver up a couple of elevators to get to your room. The room was disappointing upon first glance. The bed sheets were thin and dingy. The walls had fluids splashed all over them. The bathroom looked recently remodeled and may have been their saving grace except I swear there was blood in the shower (maybe it was really red rust). The water pressure was amazing though. The TV’s were not smart TV’s. Incredibly disappointing. The staff on the other had were all super nice and helpful.", "Room was clean loved the decor. Only thing was the faucet in the bathroom was quite loose and we never could get any warm water to come out of it. Turning the knob only increased the water pressure but not the temperature. But the shower was fine as far as temp was concerned.", "Just stayed here from October 30th-November 1st and just checked out. Amazing hotel!! I highly recommend staying here. Great location, clean, quiet (semi it was Halloween night 😂) but overall a lovely hotel and affordable.", "Fun vibe. Great neighborhood and I felt like it is such a cool place", "The property is very beautiful. The architecture & furniture have a nice modern vibe. The amenities are great- pool, gym. However, there are many drawbacks (1) no parking (2) outside the hotel is very “ghetto” and feels and looks unsafe. There are belligerent homeless people begging for money and insulting guests. Hence why the hotel has some much security key access to everything and the lobby is on the 2nd floor not 1st. (3) the linens and blankets and room were not clean. The blankets and linens had hair balls on them either human, wig or both-like a lot. We found chettos and caprisun drink inside pull out couch and dust near the bed. These are not the baseline levels of cleanliness one expects ever especially not during COVID-19. When I informed staff I got new linens which also had plenty of hairs strands and knots.", "Love this hotel the rooms are great for the price but the staff are nosy and know everyone's business", "I have stayed at Cambria many times and this was by far the worst hitel stay. Kids ran up and down the hall knocking on doors until late into the night, Marijuana smell was coming through vents, kids slamming doors all night", "Classy place. I wish the security aspect wasn't so stressful\n.", "Beautiful and clean! Extra security and extra space in our room. Our view was the lovely courtyard. I would stay here again!", "Great service. Wish th ceos would be kind and let me stay until the 20th if this works", "Room was in a terrible shape. In top of that a room supposedly equipped to have 4 people in it only had accommodations for 2. No free parking, despite what was stated.", "The front door to the hotel was busted open. There was one person at the front desk. The room had many broken pieces of furniture. The pull out mattress had no linen on it. There was half a roll of toilet paper in the room and no back up. The water would only come out of the tub faucet and not the shower head. The walls are super thin, we could hear our neighbors all night!", "The hotel was great. We were on the 5th floor. There was a family with kids running around when we arrived, late evening and early morning.\nWhen we checked in on Sat. September 5th the hotel attendant was great...10 stars to him. When we checked out I asked the desk clerk a few questions...they both seem bothered. I guess I disturbed their morning paper read.", "Love this place fair pricing huge rooms and elegant", "Relaxing clean and friendly atmosphere....my stay was comfortable, relaxing and refreshing....just what was needed to get away from the stress of today's world....if only for a few days", "Positive: The customer service Negative: there was no ice buckets to get ice", "Staff is always welcoming. The convenience store area never seems fully stocked. But I never buy anything there since the giant across the street is open til midnight.", "Nice hotel, but all the amenities were closed even though the website said they were open. Went to celebrate wife's birthday and regretted not staying at the cambria in Baltimore.", "The room was large and decorated in a very modern motif. I was extremely impressed with the genuineness of the staff when we checked in. The room was very clean and had a large bathroom with a wonder, big shower that contained an excellent shower head. The bar tender was good and provided us with silverware even though we did not but the hotel's food. There was a rooftop indoor pool that my grandson loved. The check out went smoothly and the clerks tagged and held \n our luggage while we went out to eat. Wonderful stay and already am planning to go back and stay again.", "Felt like it could of been better something wherent clean refrigerator wasn’t working , used shampoo and body wash from others who stayed .", "If I could give a zero I would .we decide to surprise my friend in the hotel room with some gift and we had som confetti on the floor . And they went ahead and charged us for a party $250. Mind you we went out all that night for my friends birthday .", "Very clean and comfortable room great scenic view, I only gave four stars due to no remote control was in the room, as well the soap dispenser was empty, overall will visit again", "Staff are nice and rooms are ok" ]

[ "Front desk staff outstanding. Bar and restaurant has good hours for a late night drink. If bar closed there’s a nice bar open late night one block away. There’s a nice fire pit on the penthouse level with nice view of the city. There’s a nice pool it’s decent size, However closes at 10 pm, would be nice if was open later. Also wish there was a hot tub.", "I just checked in and my room is not clean at all. Everything started with a shower, and I was like, whatever, I cleaned it. But then the towel is dirty too. And I told to myself, just take a nap, and everything will feel much better after. But after I got in to the bed and opened the blanket...it was a brown spot from who knows what, looking at me...I jumped out of the bed. Suddenly I didn't feel like sleeping anymore. Ugh. Disgusting.", "Its a really nice hotel comfortable and nice staffing but the shower could use a little maintenance stronger power!", "Loved the cool, chic Vibe at Cambria! The penthouse outdoor terrace was beautiful with stunning views of the city. Great pool. Food at restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Wish it were open a tad later. Enjoyed our stay and the helpful staff!", "do not recommend. worst hotel room ever, not clean. stained sheets, orange/red stains on walls from sitting area to door to bathroom. tub was not cleaned. no toiletries like toothpaste lotions etc. very disappointed, came here two years ago and had decent experience but this was awful, not coming back.", "I love this hotel so much!!! As always my experience was amazing. The staff is professional and the room was very clean. The Cambria hotels makes you feel like you’re staying in a luxury hotel for an affordable price.", "I stayed here with a friend for a night because we were touring Washington D.C. On our way to the hotel we received a text from the receptionist asking if we needed anything. I thought this was fantastic! Later that night, I was even able to text her and ask about the wifi (which is free). Our room was very clean and the bed was huge and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless and we even had a keurig in our room. I was not expecting all of these accommodations for the price we paid. I'll be staying here again in the future, you just can't beat the price for the quality!", "This was the second time we stayed in this hotel. It is modern, clean and the staff was very courteous and made us feel special. We love the suites because they offer so much space- you’re not cramped like a regular hotel room. The bathroom is huge and the shower stall big as well with body wash and shampoo dispensers . The only downside was the indoor pool, which could have been cleaner.", "Positive: The room Negative: I was overcharged", "Positive: Convenient and comfortable Negative: The entrance situation", "We really thought the location was ideal to all of the downtown attractions, as well as Georgetown and Virginia. It was right behind giant and next to a Starbucks, so we could grab some more inexpensive items to tide us over between meals. We felt safe in the neighborhood and found the ride share services were easily accessible. Hotel was modern, well lit, secure, and we would love to return the summer to take advantage of the amazing Penthouse views. The fire pit up top at night was a nice, warming touch in the middle of December!!", "Hotel stay was very comfortable. We loved the Pillows and how the room is sectioned off! The view is amazing. We also enjoyed the pool and the fire pit. I did not like that the rooms were not they well kept. We found used items that had been left behind and the bathroom sink has residue inside and outside.", "This place was very cool. There was a girl (I wish I got her name) who checked us in early and I swear she was there all night working. The room was super clean and the two guys working the bar at night we’re nice. I loved the rooftop fire pit with the view. Wish I could have stayed longer, unfortunately only one night but it was nice. The parking was a little wonky but what can you do. We had a great time here!", "We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We were only given minimal towels and rags even though there were four guests. The WiFi was slow. Not enough toilet paper or soap in the hotel! No garbage bags! False advertising on what the room would look like. I was supposed to have a walk-in shower. It was a tub. I sneezed every time I went into that room. I was allergic to something in there. Terrible customer service skills. I will never go back to this hotel.", "I had the worst sleep in the hotel experience, 1am my next door room play very loud music and I smell weed came from that room, went down to lobby to report my worst ever experience. Front desk responded my complaint with unpleasant attitude, he did moved those group to other room that was a good thing. 3am another bad thing happened other unit keep slamming their door and talk loudly with explicit words that I don’t want my children to hear it. My advice, if you travel with children do not stay in this hotel.", "Always nice to stay here. Only complaint would be need extra blankets and towels in the room.", "It was a great value for what you get, no far at all from centric areas! You will find a supermarket next door with a great restaurant right next door as well. The staff was very helpful and friendly! Be aware that the parking situation is difficult but overall I would definitely recommend it!", "I stayed there with my family when we visited DC. It was a nice hotel it had a nice pool, gym, rooftop lounge, and a restaurant (but in my 3 days there I didn’t see one person eat at the restaurant) the price was great too, I think I paid around $500 for 3 nights. The rooms were nice and modern but the housekeeping staff was not very helpful. The valet service was very helpful. The hotel is also in a good location. Overall I would still give it 5 stars, definitely recommend it if your looking for a nice and cheap hotel in DC", "My stay at Cambria was terrific! The staff is very helpful, friendly, accompanied yet professional. My 1 king bedroom is nice, spacious, clean, and functional. Hotel is well-designed with rooftop patio, gym, and pool. Food and beverage menu’s prices are reasonable and the drink I tried is so good. The neighborhood is peaceful but filled with some great restaurants. Two outstanding staff I met are Maleika from the front-desk and Orlando at the bar. I don’t hesitate to give it a 5/5. Overall, satisfying experience and definitely worth the money.", "the location of the hotel is good walking distance to main attractions , the room looks dirty some fungus on the bathroom, stained furniture, the closet has a funky smell, the carpet looks like it have not been properly cleaned in a while , the shades are not closing properly so in the morning you can not sleep til late , i had to get on a chair and fix them cause they were out of the hooks, no smart tv in the room, i couldnt watch netflix, in the other cambria y stayed i could watch netflix, the shower has no door and while you shower you freeze at the same time, and the water pressure is terrible , every time i shower is very annoying instead of relaxing , the first day i came i prepared myself a coffee and the creamer was expirated and smell like bad milk, the breakfast is actually a thing i enjoy by normal at the cambrias the first day was fine the second day we woke late at 10:00 am and the breakfast was empty and they still charge us $12 per person, when i ask the woman from the breakfast if she could refill , she told me that breakfast was finishing in half an hour and they had a big group and that was her excuse,she also suggest me to wake up early to catch breakfast, like she was giving it to me for free, this was very dissapointing , i am definetely not having breakfast ever again for the rest of my trip today is wednesday and am leaving friday , \nAnother thing is that i had to chase house keeping to clean my room" ]

Nothing really blew my mind, it's a misable place if you're not in the immediate neighborhood, but an excellent place is you are going as a group.\n\nService was friendly, mood was fine. Some places have character, this one just has good food, not great, but good. So it makes sense as a neighborhood reliable spot.\n\nIf you're not in the immediate area of this french fare, don't go out of your way.", "I love their food especially the toffee pudding! Wow...so good and buttery.", "Great overall experience! Convivial a reservation through, was seated with ease, and severed fast. The dinner plates are pretty pricey for its proportions but Convivial with favor.", "Excellent experience.

Highly recommend!", "Convivial is one of, if not our favorite, restaurant in D.C. We came here for our first date, and have been back many times since. Especially since it holds a special place! The food is always amazing and never disappoints. Cannot recommend it highly enough. You won't be disappointed.", "Nice atmosphere and super amiable service. The food was fresh and yummy. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone. Convenient prices and generous portions. Great work.", "Pretty great food (Trout & Quinoa bowl), but I was not blown away for the price. The restaurant had great indoor COVID precautions with barriers between every table.", "Went for brunch best french toast in DC! Ate it to fast to take a photo sorry not sorry.", "Very good! Chicken the best ive ever had ANYWHERE. Service great.", "Food and vibe was great. We brought our dog along and he was being more curious than usual, but everyone took it in stride.

Staff was pleasant. Food, best way to describe... Average.", "Very convenient location with excellent service, especially since we had two youngsters with us. They accommodated us wonderfully and the FOOD gets better and better. Delicious!", "The experience and food was AMAZING!", "Amazing food, absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in DC.

Even though it was in the upper 40s the outdoor seating was plenty comfortable.", "Shei Food, Nice service.. Pro !! A+", "I’ve ordered from their daily menu for two almost every week since the lockdown started and continue to be blown away by how good value it is.

There was a prix fix option available on the day of our visit (Saturday)", "Chef Monpilier is creative, and produces consistently fine food, even now under these difficult circumstances. Who though of porridge for dinner? Yet I've had it three times, I like it so much. The chicken is always special, and the take home options are nicely prepared to travel. I can't wait to enjoy the food in the restaurant again. It was my mother-in-law's choice for her 90th birthday dinner.", "The food was good but basic and the outdoor seating left a little more to be desired in terms of ambience and atmosphere.", "Great experience during restaurant week.

Thanks for staying open so that we could try your food!", "Convivial is really fine dining. I had a delicious lunch there before covid. The Washington Post food critic, Tom Sietsema, continuously raves about it and for good reason. We had takeout yesterday. The gazpacho is one of the best we've ever had and the salmon and fixings and the summer vegetable and quinoa porridge were very special. The chocolate mousse is silky smooth, rich and luscious. Can't wait to try other dishes.", "I had lunch there today. Delicious food and the plate was well planned. The cheese was exceptional! Polite and efficient server! Nice experience.", "We went during restaurant week and got a great deal for an appetizer, entree, and dessert all in one.

That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 that the food and service deserves.", "This is a great place for quick bites or large parties! They give plenty of options ( vegan and vegetarian). The atmosphere is welcoming and there is also outdoor seating. It's in a convenient location as it's 2 minutes from the metro.

The service was great; there when they needed to be, but not hovering over the table. A must try.", "They have a great happy hour. The bartending is exceptional and it's always nice and quiet. I also really like their brunch. This is a good bet if you enjoy French and Mediterranean food!", "Service is good and unrushed in a good way.

Cocktails are also always unique and on point. Stoked they started serving lunch!\n\nThis last visit, my omelet was so absolutely perfect, accompanying salad and fries rounded out my meal perfectly. Irish coffee with hand \"whipped\" cream?? I melt. Ambiance and service also great. I mean... It's Michelin rated and has received a host of other accolades and stellar reviews for a reason.

Did I mention that service is on point, helpful and attentive.\nBeing that it was 6 of us I could write quite the extensive review of almost every dish, but my hope is that whoever is reading this simply go to try for themselves, no matter the occasion you can't go wrong with Convivial.", "Roasted cauliflower is so flavorful 😍 and the beet sauce is beautiful shade of magenta.

That's bad service if you can not speak the language to tell the customer that certain things are not available...", "Consistenly great tasting and good service.", "Honestly, this was good food but not great.

Nothing really stood out to call me back, and it just tasted like a bunch of average tasting food items put in a “bowl” together.

My wife and I both got burritos and they did not disappoint at all. The meat actually tastes freshly grilled - all ingredients really actually tasted fresh.

Favorite queso from any place like this I’ve ever had.\n\nHighly recommend.", "Nice food and quick service, the burrito was very good and the carne asada was delicious.

We make the reservations (took 60 seconds) and stand around for about 15 min, a couple seated after our arrival come over to us and asked if we wanted to join them at their table of 4. Even the other patrons interacting with us didn’t prompt the hostess to return. After waiting another 10 mins past our reservation time we left because we wanted the other patrons (all parents) to enjoy a beer without the need for a social justice moment. All that said this place is incredibly unwelcoming and smells like garage. Literal sense. Several Dumpsters are about 20 ft away. Fitting.", "Came here for their annual holiday party which is an open event. It was fun! We got three full beers for $15 plus a commemorate beer glass.

The hostess had a less-than-friendly and unwelcoming attitude when explaining things to us such as the need to make reservations online due to covid tracing. I understand that some times people get stressed or can be slightly choppy with people, but it turned us off. Customer service needs to be improved a bit. The 2nd server was way better. The food vendor selling Salteñas was awesome. We like their beer; 90% of the beer we buy is from local breweries.

The variety of beers means that most people will find something they like a lot. The high-alcohol beers are surprisingly good, but they hit hard.

On the weekends, they usually have a food truck hanging out too.", "Great space and I love their homebrewing store. Its a nice addition to the beer connoisseurs in the area.

[ "I purchased a six pack of beer called the peppercorn saison. It is really good, but my fridge isn't very cold so I have to put the beer in the freezer for about ten minutes before I want to have one. I want to like this place more than I do. There is the vibe the place gives off—which I like. It's welcoming, and hip-enough. It's also in an industrial area, and they are making the beers right there, which gives the place a certain authenticity. My brother in law loves the place, and the beer, and he purchases stuff so he can home-brew. I went there the other day, and as I entered I realized none of the lights were on in the beer fridge, just four or five people (clearly employees) having a sit-down. I understood they were closed and immediately turned around began leaving the shop, and the guy in charge said \"We''re closed.\" Which was pretty obvious, but c'mon... This brewery in a far out spot, meaning you don't pass by this place, it's a destination. Also, I was clearly sweating and pushing my baby stroller—he didn't know how far I walked to get there; how hot the day was, how colicky my baby was might have been being that day. (She wasn't colicky at all, she's an angel. But still!) Maybe it could have went \"Hey, man .Sorry we're closed. Did you want to buy something? Or, can I get you a glass of water? Or, man, being a dad is tough—here have a taste of this new IPA we're working on.\" That would have went a long way. Alas.", "Beers are delicious and creative. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Good little homebrew shop as well where you can buy grain by weight.", "Located within the warehouse for the brewery this tasting room provides a cosy environment for a chat with friends looking out into the facility. There is limited table space and seating so it may be standing room only at times. Great beers to choose from and friendly bartenders.", "Excellent beer and cool atmosphere.

When I asked him to replace it, he simply passed me a plate and behaved as if he is doing me a favor. I would like to let the management know that he's a total loss to their business. I had ordered lahori chicken gravy which was two spoons of floating oil and chicken at the bottom. Two nan rolls which were average. The place is so dirty that I doubt if they take proper hygiene while food preparation. I had wasted 2 hours of my day at such a bad place with total disappointment. I cannot even describe how dirty was their restroom.Will never recommend anyone to visit there.", "Good food at decent prices. I enjoyed the food but the atmosphere is weird.

The atmosphere has degraded and there are noticeably fewer people dining here now.

Also the restroom was pretty cool.", "Poor management has made this place a disgrace. The coke machine is ALWAYS down somehow always on weekends or busy days. I used to love eating here but the quality, seating and management has spirally gone down. The prices are high for being a fast food restaurant. The place also seems to be unhygienic. Quite unfortunate given the good food they used to serve.", "Terrible place to have food. Overpriced food. A good example of mismanagement. The place is very shabby and the place is out of stock for what you want to order.\nVery limited choice of menu and that too not cooked properly.\nHad there been an option of giving negative rating this place would have got negative 5 stars.", "Used to love this place. Last few time I’ve been here the establishment has been filthy, the tables dirty, food all over the floor and bad smells and the restrooms terrible. They’ve been also out of naan and other items consistently. Food is been decent but not the experience. Management needs to pick up their game." ]

[ "Grand Trunk is rated as one of the Top Ten Neighborhood Restaurants in the DC area. In my view, it is also one of the best reasonably priced restaurants in Penn Quarter. Superior Pakistani and Indian Food with good variety of presentations. Great freshly made Nan. My testimony is supported by the fact that since it opened, I go to the Grand Trunk once a week. Andrew \"Andy\" Koval", "Super delicious food! And the employees are amazing. We went there for a birthday dinner and they gave us two big desserts for free! Definitely coming back here.", "Awful experience. Staff reads these yet still haven't addressed the unacceptable problems. Boxes and trash scattered in the entryway, sticky seating, Coke machine doesn't work, none of the televisions operating, and unhygienic feel to the entire restaurant. Food is good, but there's a level of hygiene and service that needs to be provided. Would not recommend.", "I usually don't enjoy this type of food, but my meal was excellent! I would definitely come back here! I liked the atmosphere of the place and thought the decor was nice as well. Would recommend! The only reason why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because they really do not have enough seats for people. It's pretty small and a lot of people were standing around. Also, the staff doesn't really tell you what to do so you end up standing around until you realize you can just find your own seat. Just odd!", "The Grand Trunk Naan Burger was really good. Parking is probably a challenge here but I'd stop by again next time I'm in town. They have seating in basement too. Food was good. Decor is good too.", "Awesome food!!! Tasted so authentic and yummy! Definitely worth a visit. I had to knock off one star for the poor management in seating the customers and the way we have to place the order.", "One of my new favorites. A co-worker and myself frequent this establishment often when doing our \"get out of the office walk\" at least once a week. The food is authentic middle eastern and offers a very curious blend of flavors that explode when you try the various dishes. Sauces are unique and delicious, but the flavor is nothing like our normal dip. The naan bread is made fresh and is delicious as well.", "They serve a very nice and big portion of food. Recommended for Muslims.", "Very over-priced food and smallest portion size \"\nTotally agree with the following comments\n\n\"Unhygienic conditions, ripped off & broken seats, dirty bathrooms and very poor service. But wait, the best one has yet to come......extremely arrogant owner with disgusting behavior.\nI would not recommend it even if you get free meal vouchers.\"", "Foods are good . Not a level of excellent food. Interior and sitting arrangements are really nice . Good serving is fast and convenient . People are friendly but the waiters has very little knowledge about the food items and which ingredients are in use. Overall good restaurant with not so good knowledgeable people", "Good place to get a bite to eat, a bit pricey for what you get but on par for DC prices. Still tasty, wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Enjoyed the interior design.", "Great food choices, decent pricing, pleasant customer service and modern artistic environment. Overall a nice experience. Highly recommend especially chicken burger", "Tasty naan chicken burger, very authentic. Found the place via Google Maps and so glad I did. Big burger roughly $12, mini version roughly $8.", "I don't know if they're going through major managerial changes, but the place is a hot mess. The food is decent, but you can find great Indian food for much cheaper in other places. The service was strange, we order and pay up front but then if you're seated outside, the staff has to come out to the door and call your name so you can come inside and grab the food. Why not just bring the food out to save us both a trip? Overall I think the place was super tacky, and I'm pretty sure the $12 for a Dal you're paying is going straight to the 12 flat screen TVs and strange decor of the place. Too flashy with not good enough food to back it up. Just a gimmick.", "Google rating was spot-on for this place - got to show off why we do reviews on Maps by taking friends from DC whilst visiting the Museums nearby. Delicious food and a great ambiance - the choice of dishes that these guys serve is really something else. Do visit if you are hungry. Oh - they do a great lassi too.", "The food is delicious; an excellent Indian/American fusion restaurant, especially for the price. The Grand Trunk Burger is huge, so I suggest a mini. The dessert naan is phenomenal.\nThe atmosphere does leave something to be desired; it's clean, but tacky and mid-renovation, so some of the lighting will flicker and a tv or two may be out...", "Visited this place back in August 2015. One of the best halal places in downtown DC! Their menu items are a unique and interesting fusion of cuisines, like the Naan burger. Would recommend if you're visiting the area!", "Absolutely great taste, with friendly employees. The price is totally acceptable as a casual lunch. Great tip: if you plan to eat outside in a sunny nice day, order an extra naan. A group of cute little singers are waiting.", "Delicious food and friendly staff! Cool decor!", "Went with six people to mixed reviews. I liked my spicy vegi burger but someone else thought it was too spicy. We all liked sitting outdoors and the location is great." ]

[ "We went for a profs and pints events. The show itself was awesome, and a really good experience with a good speaker. But we were underwhelmed by the food and service. We were informed that it was table service, but had to go to the bar after waiting 20+ minutes with no-one taking our order. And the food itself was not great. The nachos, besides arriving way later than the other dish we had ordered (forgotten?), were particularly tasteless and felt like somebody had microwaved cheese on top of cheap tortilla chips. Beers were good, but neither of our first choices based on the draft beer list were available.\n\nTL;DR: Go for the profs and pints experience, not for the food or drinks.", "Terrible, atrocious, appalling service. There may not be enough words to describe how bad our experience was here. When attempting to place a drink order we were repeatedly dismissed (once by the bartender and three times by separate servers), then eventually lied to as my card was falsely charged for a drink we never even received.\n\nWe attended a talk here last night as part of the Profs and Pints series. We arrived 20 minutes early with hopes of getting settled with a drink before the talk started. The place was packed, so my girlfriend went up to the bar to get a beer. The bartender wouldn't give her a beer and instead told her to return to her seat and a server would be by to take her order. A number of servers were around and we attempted to request the beer and three more times we were told that \"our\" server would eventually be by. The talk started and we still weren't able to place a drink order. It was 40 minutes after our arrival that a server came and took my partner's order along with my credit card. Fifteen minutes later, a different server returned my credit card and said our server will bring the beer. Well, that beer never came and the talk started to wrap up. As the server came by to collect the plates and empty glasses of others around us, I informed her that we never received the beer and I wanted assurance that I would not be charged. She apologized and said the card was not charged. This seemed to be confirmed as she returned with receipts for everyone in our section and did not give us one.\n\nThis morning I see that my card was indeed charged for the beer that we never received. Now, I am being further inconvenienced because the staff here is either lazy or deceitful and I am being forced to request a refund for service I was not provided. I can't describe how infuriating it is to go to a tavern and find it impossible to order a beer in spite of numerous attempts, then to be charged for the rude and terrible service which provided us with literally nothing but frustration and a fraudulent charge.", "This place was actually pretty nice and the show was lovely. It's a little small so get there early to get a good seat. There winds were excellent and the server was very entertaining as well", "We attended the variety show on NYE. Very disappointed. In the first hour and a half that we were there we saw 30s of dancing and listened to 2 min of bad puns and received only 3 of the four drinks we ordered. The chairs were uncomfortable, space cramped, hot, and dirty; all of this with no entertainment to distract us from the slow service. This was not worth the ticket price at all and we left early to find a better venue to celebrate the New Year", "Its not that big but it's nice. Food is good. No top shelf liquor but still good", "Nice intimate location for a max group of 4. Anymore than that, you'll be sitting on top of each other. The food was great! Drinks were pricey for the amount you get. If you're used to the improv, you may be a little discouraged of the look but, the atmosphere is pretty cool.", "Shows are very entertaining and the prices for food/drink are reasonable. They even offer vegan options that aren't a damn salad. Cozy and fun ambience that makes me want to go back again.", "The customer service is amazing! Several unique beers on tap. And the food was decent. Love the overall atmosphere of the Bier Baron. It's quintessential DC.", "The person who served my table was slow, unresponsive, and gave inaccurate bills.\n\nDuring my last visit, I asked for a glass of pop three times before I got one. I also asked for a side of sauerkraut with a sausage and got fries instead. The server said they would follow up. After raising that issue with them three times they gave me a 1 ounce container of sauerkraut.\n\nI learned later that the restaurant doesn't serve sides of sauerkraut. That was perfectly reasonable, but I would have appreciated the chance to ask for another side (coleslaw) rather than get fries.\n\nWhen my table (four people) got our checks, they were inaccurate.\n\nThe atmosphere is nice here, and the beer selection is very good, but my experience leads me to expect poor, slow service.\n\nIf I go back, I'll sit at the bar.\n\nJuly 22, 2019 - I wrote the person who added the email address in the comment below a message. I never heard back from them. Lacking new input from this business, I stand by this review.", "This was my first time here. We were really excited to see The Hodgetwins. Who, by the way, are phenomenal!!! The venue is a typical underground comedy club. They seem very organized and we had no trouble getting seated right away. The food and drinks were priced very reasonably of course with a two-drink minimum. However, the service wasn't quite the best. We may have had a new server but she didn't know what a martini was.\n\nI would highly recommend this venue and I will certainly be attending more shows.", "Relatively cheap hotel in good and central location. The building is old but rooms are renovated. The pub is mainly for artitic performances and closes after those. Rooms are rather small which did not bother me. Location is superb, a good 5 minutes walk to Dupont Circle Metro through a P-Street which is lined with small shops and restaurants.", "Good prices and a hard working team. The lot of them. Small place. You should get a good seat early.", "This was a great venue for a comedy show. Is small and intimate but still had a decent amount of seating. The show was one of the best I've seen in a really looking time.", "Has an old school bar feel... college basement type atmosphere. Hoping that the owners will invest in updates for the sake of the performers and the customers.", "I’ve never experienced a more unorganized show venue. They TRIPLE BOOKED the place and forced everyone to wait downstairs in an overcrowded basement while the two other shows finished up. We paid extra for early admissions and had to stand downstairs for almost two hours before we got let up in a mess of people. The staff has no idea what was going on and kept telling us different instructions before finally coming to a consensus on where to send us. Worst part was instead of letting us in through the main entrance for the show they forced us to form a long line through the service hallway in the back of the restaurant where the servers were running in and out with food and drinks for the shows upstairs. And when we finally were starting to let in they told us they informed us the room did not have enough room for everyone. We ended up leaving because it was so packed with no tales available. Never again will I ever come to this venue for a show. This place was an absolute disgrace! If I could give it zero stars I was so I’m being extremely generous with one.", "Place is normally probably perfectly sized for a comedy club. It was not sized right for an A.list comic. They should of sold less tickets...instead they packed us in like sardines (can't reserve a seat or even see a seat chart) where some people couldn't even see the comic. My table was very long and narrow with 12+ people on each side of it. Every table in the back half of the place was like this. Each chair at my \"table\" touched each other (hip to hip) and you could not stand up without asking the guy behind you to scoot in first. If a fire Marshall had come in there, my guess is the place would have been shut down for the night.\n\nComic was awesome (Christopher Titus), wait staff was undermanned but admirably did their best with what they had, food and drink was good when we got it (more than an hr after we ordered it).\n\nI think for an up and coming comic this place would be fine. If you do go to a show with multiple times, go for the time with the most tickets available, and stay away from the sold out shows. If you do go to a show that's sold out, be waiting at the door before it opens for decent seats.", "Good comedians but employees didn’t want to work last night. No wait staff. No food service. We had to go find the bartender to get drinks. When asked if they had mixed drinks, the bartender said she could probably come up with something." ]

[ "The comedy show was fantastic but started 1 hour later than the stated time, which made a very tense atmosphere.", "First time going to see live stand up. Awesome experience! Comedians were funny, staff were friendly and servers were quick. I didn't get food because of dinner plans after, but everything I saw passing by looked and smelled great.", "2 Item minimum for shows but the menu is a lot better than DC Improv. Can viably get a dinner and a show at a great price!", "If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This was the worst place I’ve been to for comedy. Unfortunately, we had to sit at the bar because there were no other seats available even though we paid to be there? The bartenders were extremely rude and were all arguing with each other because they couldn’t handle the rush. They were so loud I could barely hear the show. Someone asked them to keep it down and instead of being polite they snapped back at him. Not a professional establishment and not to mention their bar was barely stocked.", "Solid shows, decent food and bar service. Very crowded seating. Small selection of beers on tap. I had a good time, but it felt very crowded.", "Great beer selection. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great venue.", "Saw a comedy show here. Fun atmosphere and vibe, but extremely cramped seating. There has to be a better way to arrange the seating and tables so that you can actually move and not be all up on strangers. Good experience otherwise!", "Food was amazing i had not had faith since it was an old looking place. But food didn't dissapoint. Those Brussel sprouts were amazing.", "Great comedy and great crowd but the bartender was aggressively rude to every single person. I’ve NEVER experienced service like this anywhere, it was almost like those restaurants where the premise is for the server to be as rude as possible. I was actually nervous to order my drink because every single person before me was roasted in one way or another. Also there were only a few beers on tap and they didn’t even have rail vodka, the cheapest vodka available was Ketel One.", "Went to see a show last night... got in line at 5:45. Seated by 6:10. Seating is super cramped. Our server brought us water and took our order pretty quickly but then he had to take everyone else’s order in our section before entering anything into the system. The menu online is different from the one posted outside and from the one you actually get at the show. Show started at 7, I think that’s about the time 3 of the 4 of us got our drinks (wine and beer only and our server said he didn’t think they had Chardonnay). Everyone in our section had to wait forever for drinks, some didn’t even get water. Shortly after that the same 3 of us got our food. All of our veggie burgers were cold, I didn’t eat mine. Had to ask multiple times for our 4th person’s beer. And then our last meal we were waiting on, a salad, came out close to 8pm. I think our server was trying his best, but yikes. The comedy was great, but I would not recommend going here to see a show.", "Nice spot, shockingly large. It has many levels. We were at the top level for Profs and Pints. Love that they host this here. Food and service were great.", "I love brownstone vibe and the venue setup for shows saw David Arnold and Tourne from Philli !", "Cute venue. They have airplane mentality as they pack you in so tight you can barely breath. But the food is good, reasonably priced, and the drinks are strong. Titus was hilarious as usual as was his beautiful wife. The waiters were a little slow but again...your packed in like sardines.", "It's a great atmosphere for a few good laughs. On Mondays there's an open mic for comics with a host that \"heckles\" it's all great fun. Drinks are reasonably priced and if you're a new comic I encourage to come out and check out the scene!", "Pleasantly surprised with this spot. Funny comedians....food not too bad, either.", "We had an overnight in DC. What a great night out we had. Food was good, drinks were better and the comics brought us to tears! It was a tight packed basement venue, but that added to the cozy experience.", "It was very funny show. It's every Tuesday. I would recommend it to everyone. It's also very convenient since it's right by the Dupont Circle metro station. Plus the have $2 beer specials. Lastly, the food is awesome.", "Awesome and cozy beer bar with two floors. They use the top floor for comedy shows and other things. They have a gigantic beer list with plenty on tap, some really great bourbons and whiskies, and a great assortment of pub food that's not overly greasy. Sundays and Thursdays are $3.50 drafts. Overall a great place to meet with friends that's more quiet and laid back.", "Great craft beer selection, held an awesome Goose Island Bourbon county release party.", "Comic was great! Good service and very good beer." ]

While they were open during COVID, I was impressed with their attention to ventilation and masking.", "A Washington secret, Native American Food on your next Thanksgiving Day. And American Indian arts and crafts for Christmas Gifts in the Museum Shop, Black Friday. Best of all, learn in the exhibits about the gracious Original Americans...

Thank you to Mr Dan Snyder for changing the name of your team to honor The People.", "I learned so much about the American Indians. I realized my public education in this country left out very important historical facts about our Native Americans. Our country should be more than ashamed at the way the American Indians were treated and lied to over and over again by the USA. the Indians should never trusted our word when it came to treaties and land promises.\n\nThis museum teaches us reality is in the eye if the beholder. Don't trust what you cannot see!", "As a Native American woman I truly enjoyed visiting this museum.

I would go back.", "One of the best in the United States.", "The museum building is beautiful and the exhibits made me want to learn more.", "Amazing place. Many exhibits were closed due to covid restrictions.", "One of the best museums, there are artifact & modern interactive displays which teach us about the history & culture.", "A wall for me but not for thee.", "So much information! You'd need an entire day to see it all. My friends and I spent Almost 2 hours on JUST the top floor! Split your time wisely if you're on vacation or take the time to visit early to see it all in one day.", "Went for the food, Potentially one of the best in the Smithsonian group on the mall. Prices are not much more than what you pay from the food trucks outside. But without the ambiance of noise and birds.\nThe museum should not be missed if only for what it brings to the nation in understanding our country and the original residents", "The National Museum of the American Indian offers a wonderful educational journey through time and space. Cultural examples from Inuit to Apache to Cherokee and Narragansett are presented. The timeline of the first human beings in America to the present is laid out in text, video and artifacts. It's a wonderful place to visit and explore. It also has a good, moderately priced cafeteria that can fit hundreds of visitors .", "Very friendly and Great staff. Plus is free", "Fabulous, fascinating and a bit depressing, to say the least, learning about what the \"early Americans\" did to the true first Americans. The tour guide Gem was top notch. She will give you the real deal. Thankful a place like this and people like her are around to educate and enlighten us.", "I love this place! The permanent exhibits are great as are the temporary ones. I would recommend starting on the third floor to and walking through the \"Our Universes\" exhibit. The cafeteria is kind of pricey but the food is pretty good. The gift shop has a lot of cool stuff and quite a few knickknacks, but all are at least relevant to the museum unlike the Archives gift shop which is basically a toy store.", "I've been here a month ago in this museum, and I was genuinely impressed. I haven't thought any of this museum than the beautiful designed of the building having the perfect portrait of the numerous Native American tribes of our country which I admired so much. The exhibits had interactive features, videos, and lots of textual information available to compliment the artifacts and art displayed. I am grateful to the museum staff for all their hard work to create such a beautiful exhibit!", "Security staff are rude and brusque. Even saw one lady\nsleeping on the job. Cafe and store workers were helpful for Celiacs. The layout does not utilize the space. It would be nice to have student interns from various tribes have the opportunity to come to DC and work in the museum and develop more exhibits and have more interaction.", "Remarkable building but relatively small exhibition and the best part of it is in museum store on the second floor. Really nice pottery, jewelry and souvenirs. Indian culture is represented in mostly positive and sugary way with religion and rituals mostly left outside of it. Inka road with interactive map was interesting but the place is more for kids. The collection in Metropolitan museum is way more impressive.", "Beautiful building. Take time to understand how the architecture reflects the American Indian culture and experience. Found the exhibits to be comprehensive. Obviously not just a history museum, but more of a cultural institution. Particularly enjoyed walking the gardens along the perimeter of the building, seeing how the structure fit into the landscape and effectively nature was integrated into the building's message.", "We spent about an hour and a half on the fourth floor. We wished we had a whole day. Learning about the various tribes, seeing the artifacts, hearing the stories of each culture is fascinating. Experienced manifest destiny from the other point of view made us ashamed of what some of the founding fathers did to grow our nation. I want to see the rest of the museum.", "If you like history of the First Nations, this is a great place for you to go and see all of what these first people added to our own culture and how we did not use them right. So much to see and learn and all relevant to today. Well worth the time and effort. The price is also right, it is free.😀😃😄", "Very nicely done exhibits in a fantastic space. Informational displays are well thought-out and concise. Great tribute to the history of the continent's First Nations.", "I recently visited DC and decided to go to this museum, and I was genuinely impressed.

They rotate exhibits so there is always something new to learn. Very helpful staff as well", "Somewhat disappointed at how huge and open the building is but not much exhibit to view. It had the feeling of a tremendous amount of wasted space at tax payer expense. I felt the exhibits in Utah were far interesting and impressive. I hope a lot more can be added to reveal a more complete story.", "This museum could be so much better. There are plenty historical facts, but the presentation doesn’t give it the respect this museum deserves. It’s low tech and dull. There is so much potential within this museum. Especially to travel here with children, it’s important to bring life to those who were the original inhabitants. Lights, sounds, and videos could really bring life and interest here.", "Beautiful building look and design that is a good match to the museum theme. The 3rd floor features imagination kids activity center which is a great way for children to have fun and learn all about our national Indian heritage.", "I have been several times since it opened 15 years ago. It is one of my favorite museums. Today, I visited the treaties exhibit and felt the horror of how my people pushed so many people off of their land, and much admiration for the strong sense of pride and community that has helped them survive.

Also great introductory movie providing a good snapshot of the diversity of indigenous peoples in the Americas. The cafe also serves tasty and interesting dishes!", "I don't know how much they're going to add to this museum, but it is already unique\nin it's displays of Native American history and culture. Boasts 1 of the best restaurants out of all the Smithsonians, but be prepared to pay for it. Finally, the building itself is unlike any of the other museums except the African American in the architecture.", "The variety of food choices here are impressive. Quality is great too.

The museum itself is poignant, and does not shy away from the darker parts of our shared history with native peoples. It takes the time to share the perspectives of tribes all across North and South America and does so brilliantly.\n\nOn a much lighter note, the food is really, really good.", "Awesome museum with great exhibits. Can get a bit crowded (of course) which makes seeing some of the exhibits a little challenging as they tend to be have a lot of text that provides historical facts and most importantly CONTEXT that shows how the past is ever present. Best times to visit are right around opening and right before closing. Also, there's almost always some kind of community event on the weekends where various First Nations people are present showcasing and educating visitors about their very much alive and thriving cultures and communities..", "We only spent time in the kids section, but it was amazing. They have a cool \"passport\" program where you stamp your passport after interacting with each exhibit. Great mix of content and activity for the kids. Mine loved balancing on a kayak, trying out the video skateboard, and sitting in the teepee.", "Love the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall and this one is no exception, definitely does not disappoint in the least bit. I love the exhibits they show and I love that they give a voice to the often marginalized population of American Natives (both from North, South, and Central America as well!)\n\nThe most memorable thing from this museum however is the cafe, which includes a lot of weird world food selections. The cafe can be a bit pricey though so definitely expect to spend a bit. That said if you're at a museum and suddenly craving yucca fries or a bison burger, this cafe is your best bet!\nA word of warning though: the cafe is only open until 3pm, so go earlier rather than later to not be disappointed!", "The building is beautiful. The food is wonderful and has many choices. Many displays to learn from", "Very informative and there's so much to see. I would highly recommend adding this to your list of museums to visit while in D.C.", "I was disappointed and felt disrespected as a native american visiting this museum. The second level only has a shop with all china made stuff to buy and 4 little stands with the algonquin people. One bright spot, there is a picture of my father there in the museum that my 5 year old loved. I was expecting to see pottery, bead work ,regalia, the history of the tribes in America. Once again the native people are pushed to the side like an after thought.", "Beautiful huge building with not a lot to see inside. I give 4 stars because the staff and security were awesome. Disappointed the exhibits were small and the gift shops on every floor were the same size or bigger than the exhibit", "It wasn't what we expected. I and my husband took our 20 yr old grandson. He chose. We all expected lots of American Indian. What you get is south American, central American. A little North America. We started at the bottom.

An exhibition was displayed in the foyer and we loved to have met some of the artists", "Fascinating museum. Great exhibits. Still a bit from the white man's perspective. Great gift shop. Museum restaurant tries to present food native Americans might have eaten but does not quite hit the mark. More like quasi-Mexican food. Does not capture the very different vegetables which would have been available.", "The whole family found it far better than expected. Historically balanced, informative and interesting. Beautifully laid out. Canteen of native food was very interesting. Shop was brilliant", "Very informative, interesting and very moving exhibits. Lots of reading and not a huge amounts of interactivity, but it was extremely engaging, and there was a live show of original Hawaiian dance while I visited. There is also a pretty cute children's area, if you are coming with kids.", "The museum can be quite interesting, as different tribes \"tell their own stories\" through exhibits. I sometimes feel like those stories could be more explicitly told, but many cultures prefer an oral history, with clear, personal perspective to authoritative text. For a material culture experience I strongly recommend the gift shop and the cafeteria. The latter is expensive (25 to 30 for a single person) but offers one of the most unique high quality meals in DC. I grew up in the DC metro area and known delights from Afghani food to Vietnamese to fine French. This cafeteria, sometimes with specific versions of recipes selected from one village in the Andes, holds up in comparison.

Thank you to all those who helped to create this sacred space.", "Inspiring and beautifully crafted. Every aspect of this building is clearly thought thoroughly. Loved it!" ]

[ "Dumplings are fantastic and a great choice of vegetarian dishes. A lot of outdoor seating and it’s distanced well for COVID. They have the windows/walls open so the indoor dining is also very well ventilated. Not quite as stringent as other restaurants in that servers still approach even if you don’t have your mask on FYI.", "A beautifully decorated family owned establishment. Warm and inviting. As an official Washingtonian I highly recommend this place. Here is a beautiful dining experience. The food feels like home and the flavors are superior. The dumplings and Tikka dishes are a must.\nBill", "Had Sunday brunch here with 2 friends, first, there are no clear instructions on what the brunch menu includes or doesn’t include. I feel that was dodgy to make you spend more. Second, those tables are not big enough to serve food for more than 2 people on, too squeezed. Third, The orders are not sequenced. Imagine being brought your starter, mains and dessert all at a go? I don’t understand what training goes on for the staff to see that you can’t serve all ordered food at once...it’s only logic. Overall, quite underwhelming for a Michelin holder, honestly.", "The most amazing Afghani cuisine, with delightful flavors and wonderful friendly service. Stays packed, so try to make a reservation. Offers both indoor and outdoor dining.", "Food was fun and good. Likely the only Afghan restaurant you’ll go to with an alcohol menu. Service was okay. Note they only take payment by phone app, and they charge a mandatory 20% service fee.", "Really excellent food. The price is very reasonable for the quality that you get, and the decor and ambiance are lovely. The butter croissant was warm and absolutely delicious, and the shrimp dumplings were the best dumplings I've ever had. I could eat a bucket of the sauce that comes with them, and the flavors in the filling are delicate and not overly spiced. I had the pancakes for brunch, and the rosewater syrup is so good you'll never want to go back to maple syrup. My brother had the chicken quorma, and he loved it--the prunes give it just a hint of sweetness, and the chicken falls right off the bone. I can't recommend enough to anyone wandering around Adams Morgan.", "Lapis was a long time favorite of ours, but I have to say that while the food was just as wonderful, the service was seriously deficient. The basement space is not where you want to be seated; we were ignored for the duration of the meal that came out 45 minutes after seating and constantly stopping food runners and asking for our waitress. But the most jaw dropping moment was when we saw that we were automatically charged a 20% gratuity when we were just a two-top - that's 2 people - with a check less than $100. And that was after ignoring us. When we were told to use their contactless payment service, we found out after trying several different cards that the software does not accept foreign-issued visa credit cards. This is in DC by the way, the most international city in the country. That triggered another long wait to find our waitress to do a manual charge. This was a disappointing visit to an old favorite and a slap in the face with this new gratuity policy. If you deliver reasonably good service, you'll get 20% from me, but at least make an attempt to earn it.", "Let me start by saying that 3 star is not for the food! The food was good. But the 3 is for the service/management. I had 9pm reservation which they called and got it moved to 8.30 the same day and I agreed. We reached a bit late just to find out that kitchen was going to close at 9.15, giving us barely 10 mins to look at the menu and order. And whole we were waiting for the food, we were told that the place closes at 10 so we needed to hurry up. Half the items were sold out from the menu. I had a very very disappointing experience and I don't think I'll go back. To those who plan to visit this bistro, ask I'd recommend going early and getting the right information during reservation!", "This place was incredible! So awesome with all dietary restrictions and tasted so great! The service and warm drinks were also so wonderful I highly recommend checking this spot out!", "Highly recommend the sample platters. Definitely order the shrimp dumplings - they are incredible! Earlier during Covid shutdowns was very impressed with their contactless pick up. It felt very safe and seamless.", "It’s a fabulous place! The food is delicious 😌", "This is one of my favorite restaurants in DC. The food has been superb every time I have come here for the past 3 years. Even the service is fast. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is that their outdoor seating area is too small and cold and contactless payment system is not used friendly.\n\nThey need to purchase patio heaters to put between tables so the customers feel warm during cold weather. Also, the contactless payment system took me awhile to figure out.\n\nOverall this is one of the best restaurants in DC and I urge everyone to try this place!!!!", "Absolutely incredible meal. As a renowned Michelin Inspector, I maintain high expectations for all of my feeding sessions - at Lapis, the service, culinary delights, and beautiful pistachio cake (Ohhhhh THE CAKE!) surpassed all designs previously placed on this establishment. I look forward to returning on a bi-daily basis.", "Lapis has been a consistent success every time I have either eaten in or out. They are one of those restaurants that offer so many great options of great quality, that it is often a challenge to decide which one you will pick. They are very vegetarian friendly too!", "The best coffee i've had in my entire life. I probably had 6-7 cups of black coffee in one sitting. Absolutely amazing.", "Popular place. Nice small dish choices. Heaps of flavor. Good veg options. Nice outdoor patio if weather permits. Definitely a return visit", "Absolutely some of the best Afghani food I've had. Very traditional in the preparation and presentation. The food quality was excellent and even for take out it was very well put together and presented. Thank you.", "Delicious carrot and veggies! The yoghurt sauce goes so well with potatoes and the onion dumplings. Beautiful cozy interior as well", "The food had really good flavors for the most part. We enjoyed the brunch, but the chicken kabob didn't have any salt. The 3 stars is for the service. They add a service charge of 20%, but from what we encountered, it wasn't deserved. For example, I had to ask twice for a part of my meal, and when it started raining, rather than coming out to help the customers, all their workers rain inside and left us to fend for ourselves. Not exemplary at all.", "Food is good, service is terrible, there is a MANDATORY 20% added to your bill and you have no say in it, even if the service was bad. Their excuse...”it’s Covid time.” As someone who owns a business this is a BS excuse as everyone is going through “Covid time” without price gouging ... they are taking advantage of customers ...don’t come here", "Good food but we were charged BOTH a 20% service charge as well as a 20% covid service charge. This is a 40% charge total for a meal. It was absolutely ridiculous. I’m surprised I have not seen other reviews documenting this. Almost makes me think my party was scammed....", "Sorry wanted to like this place! Research showed a Michelin Star! So went and tried out of all DC restaurants on my trip.\n\nFirst, three tables in restaurant and service took 20 minutes for two drinks. Second appetizers were not bad was like basic Indian Samosas and a cold soup not bad.\nMeat sampler was tough, little flavor and would prefer a street gyro to this meat.\n\nSauces were good, dessert was good but $170 for mediocre meat, marginal service and 4 drinks for two people???\n\nSorry my lesson learned I would prefer halal brothers street food In NYC.\n\nHow did they get that star????\n\nMichelin just lost their credibility with me.", "Genuinely great food, great service and awesome ambience! Loved it.", "This place is so good, picture an upscale tapas twist on Afghan. Decor and ambience are AMAZING, and well before DC started blossoming into a decent restaurant city. I kinda don’t wanna leave a review but it’s already so jam-packed every night one more review of its awesomeness won’t hurt my reservation chances. Haha. So pleased to watch this place thrive for decades, from back in the “Napoleon” days until now.", "Definitely a place to have a great dinner. The ambiance is nice, the food is delicious, and the service is top notch. I'd suggest the Pakowra for a starter and lamb tikka for dinner. Superb!", "Quite possibly the best Afghan restaurant in the DMV area and I say that as someone who grew up eating Afghan food. I have to say the portions are bit smaller for authentic Afghan food but maybe healthier is better. Enjoy!" ]

[ "Ridiculous restaurant with sub-par food and sub-par service at exorbitant prices. I don't get the hype at all.\n\nThe positives: nice ambience, decent appetizers.\nThe negatives: entrees were salty and fatty with low quality meat; even the vegetarian entree was very buttery; service was not only slow as the food took nearly an hour to come out, but non-existent because the waiter was not to be found for anything, including refills; they also missed entirely an item we ordered\n\nYET....we were charged an automatic 20% tip WITHOUT being told in advance and WITHOUT the option of being able to change the tip. UNBELIEVABLE. Apparently COVID-19 is an excuse for providing bad service at exorbitant prices and then LYING to your customers. Really nice racket these people are running!\n\nSTAY AWAY!!!", "Great food. Relaxing atmosphere. Kind staff.", "Excellent food, good atmosphere and great service/recommendations provided by our waiter Hadi! Will definitely be back for the chopani kebab!", "Excellent food, good music and service.!! All necessary Covid19 precautions were implemented.", "Super decor and eye catching yet new towards hospitality with a smile. Skepticism is a little obvious. Welcome Blak@U the neighborhood 🖤🌻", "It took over 40.minutes to get lunch for 2. Ordered the Beet salad, it was small in size with no cheese and nothing comparing to the picture. Got the water in a very small glass, warm old water glass. They forced 20% tips on the check regardless of your parties. I don't recommend it, too expensive for the value.", "Tasting menu is definitely worth it. Service was bad, from ignoring that I wanted a second drink to AWOL when we were trying to pay to get away. Overall experience went downhill from enjoying the meal.", "Bad service and astronomical “required” gratuity of 20% no matter how bad the service is. The manager argued with me about this. Not coming back.", "This is about a recent service experience at Lapis (Aug 26, 2020). It was a callous and totally unacceptable service from a restaurant of this repute. We had ordered 3 orders of Mantoo Shrimp (6 dumplings in 1 order). On receiving the bag from the server, I chanced upon checking whats inside and there was only 1 order of Mantoo Shrimp. In fact the slip stapled on the bag also said it was 1 order of Mantoo Shrimp. Raising the issue to the same server, she did not care to apologize even once and said this happened because they are short staffed. I mean a delay in your service is understandable but how can you give 2 orders less if you are short staffed. To make things worse, one of the orders had 5 dumplings, instead of 6 as mentioned in the menu.\n\nI am still a fan of their food and quality, but this experience at Lapis would remain a question on their service and credibility.", "My girlfriend and I like to go to Michelin star restaurants for dates and we were baffled by this place. The service was so bad that we couldn’t enjoy our meal. We kept wondering if it was because we’re young and are POC. Regardless of the reason for the terrible service, it’s pretty disheartening to be treated the way we were treated. We’re not particular about customer service but this was unusual. The food was good but nothing stellar enough to make up for the rude staff.", "Awesome food. Great vibe. Fantastic staff.", "Great place!! Have been there for the third date with my wife, graduation day from grad school, random Sunday brunch and to catch up with friends... pretty unique food and atmosphere.", "I am visiting DC for a couple of days and I liked this place so much that I returned the next day! The first time my friend and I ordered dinner to go. We shared the eggplant (this was my favorite), the bamya and the shore-nakhot. All was delicious! The next day I decided to go back to have lunch with another friend. We sat at the terrace which was super nice and calm on a weekday. This time we shared the lentils with palow rice, the classic beef dumplings and a delicious dessert called firneé. Everything was amazing again! I also tried the chai latte and it was really good. The service was nice and patient. So I really recommend this place if you are in DC and are willing to try new flavors!", "SO delicious and interesting. Every single thing was incredible. Great job guys", "Love the atmosphere and the food. The quality of the food is great!", "Just modern Afghan food, lamb dishes are off the hook, nice little dinner date spot, prices are moderate though just a FYI", "Lovely location, outside seating, delicious food, great service!", "The food here is amazing! We shared multiple dishes and everything was delicious. The service was great and we loved the ambiance. Will definitely be back.", "Food here is beyond amazing. From the salads, to the pancakes, the meat selections. I would suggest sharing items to taste as much as you can. Solid wine tea and coffee selection. Don't miss out on the cafe area downstairs too. A local gem in DC overall. Check them out for either dinner or brunch", "Went to Lapis post-quarantine and was satisfied with the open spacing they provided. I don’t like eating inside post-quarantine, but they made me feel ‘safe.’ I went with a group of four. I split the pancakes and the beef mantu. I highly recommend getting the lapis pancakes. Very satisfied with the lapis pancakes. They had a hint of floral essence that complemented its fluffiness." ]

The patates bravas, meatballs, and octopus are the best!", "If you're looking for authentic Spanish food & tapas, this is easily one of the best spots around.

What I particularly liked is that the decoration and service is homey and not pretentious.", "Great service, great food. The place looks very unassuming from the outside so it’s easy to ignore but it should definitely be considered a neighborhood go-to because the food and drinks were very good same for the music ( Gipsy Kings ftw).

Our server was incredibly warm and even let us drink from the wine skin just for fun. The tapas we ordered were mostly seafood and were all perfectly cooked.

[ "The best Paella AND the best pata negra Jamon serrano i've had outside of Spain! The mushroom dish is to die for. But what really makes this hidden gem so special, is the star manager/waiter Dani from the south of Spain. From the moment you walk in you feel like family! Each touch from the decor to music to food selections are perfectly curated to transport you to Spain. Not some whitewashed hipster gentrified imitation of Spain, but a real authentic taste of it (and I would know, i'm Spanish). There are only 2 other Spanish restaurants I would bother eating at in the city and at both you can expect to pay 3 times more money for food that isn't any better, and is actually less traditional and authentic (and more \"fusion\").

I was there 2 Sundays ago and food and service were amazing...I ordered the exact same items Feb 9th and today Feb 23rd and the food was directionally the same but tonight smaller portions, lots of garlic, not as tender seafood. Honestly, it must be two different chefs...I preferred everything about the Feb 9 dining experience. I won't let tonight's off eve deter me from returning but I do hope the manager or owner revisit the quality of the waiter and food tonight because this is my favorite restaurant.", "Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was nothing but 5 star all around! The room in the back was quiet, the lighting was great, the waiters were attentive and very nice, and the food was a whole experience!

I was a little scared about the gluten free chocolate cake but it was so decadent and delicious, I still have a little piece of it saved it the fridge for after dinner tonight. Honestly, HUGE compliments to the chef. I am a lover of food, love cooking, and my entertainment is watching food shows. This food was made with thought, passion and love!

Was in top 3 we've ever eaten and we are in our 50's :)\nBUT some things were not so great, like the Big Eye Tuna my wife had...just had an odd flavor and she could not eat it. My King Salmon special was delicious but not worth the $40 price tag. I'd go back but you have to learn what's good....", "Delicious meal and great service. Fresh fish well prepared. A real treat! Delicious desserts including a wonderful chocolate cake that is gluten free!", "Short version- exceptional service, in a very well run and appointed space.

That's personal preference more than anything.", "Tried a lot on the menu as a group. Did not deliver.", "I'm very reserved with my 5 star ratings; BlackSalt absolutely earned this! After convincing my dinner party to try the 5 course (which we ended up making into a 7 course) the staff proceeded to entertain and amaze us one plate and pour at a time.

Thank you BlackSalt!", "Best Spicy Margs around. Once you get over the strong fish smell when you walk in, you will enjoy fresh seafood and an outstanding menu. Stick with seafood here.

Nicest person ever.", "First time here. This should be a Michelin Star. The food is fresh and so very good. The Customer service is everything. Offers a really nice price for three to four course lunch meals. The wines are so good. Highly recommend for date night or girls night out.", "Ive been to this restaurant several times and taken several very good Chefs with me. Great food, Excellent fresh product, thoughtfully prepared. The service team seems to be a little hit and miss at times. They are either smothering or hard to get hold of. That's a training issue. Otherwise a very good restaurant. It is a bit noisy as the place does get very busy and for good reason.\nI'll come back as often as I can.", "I was at Black Salt for lunch. I was impressed with the grilled swordfish. Tender swordfish is difficult to prepare and they cooked it perfectly. Classic cocktail was also so delicious. You can buy fresh fish here, which is great too.

Unfortunately, loud, but that really can't be helped.", "Black Salt has excellent quality food and exceptional customer service. My family has ordered a Thanksgiving Turkey from them several times.

Service was great and the atmosphere cozy and relaxing.", "Came here for lunch with a group of friends. I love the small fish display they have in the front. We were promptly seated and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the special for the day which was a salmon linguine dish with a bacon cream sauce. When I requested if I could have the dish without bacon, they offered to make an entirely new dish for me because the cream sauce was already made. So you could say I had my very own special. The dish I received was very impressive and the lemon butter sauce was exquisite. The cook on the salmon was perfect too. I had the key lime pie afterwards and the acidity from the lime was great to have on a hot summer day.", "Good food, it’s very busy during happy hour", "Absolutely amazing meal, one of the best I've had in years. The fish is incredibly fresh and the flavors are excellent. The staff are impressively knowledgeable, friendly, and professional.

I'm not a fan of turkey burger and I got the turkey burger twice in a row means I'm not coming back. I don't know if it's a prank. It was a go to order. I still ate it. Also I don't get the covid charge. What's the covid charge for? So banks can make more money on trasaction? The place is open with line out the door. A corporate burger place is not what's holding America together right now.", "I meet with friends this great restaurant often! This is my favorite place to to have a good dinner.

I like eating in this restaurant over a decent dinner.", "I had went to this location on my birthday last month. While my initial experience was less than stellar, management listened to my concerns and assured they would be addressed. A few days later the GM called and spoke with me. Rather than excuse the behavior or justify it, he took complete responsibility and offered to replace the meal. He took it steps beyond and invited me and my friends to come for meals to celebrate my birthday. He even offered to throw in an extra gift card. I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! I literally did not haven any words but thank you. This is the level of customer service we ALL want to experience. My perception has done a complete 180. Thank you for listening and for going beyond to make my birthday special!", "Tasty burgers, somewhat complicated ordering process, recommended for knowledgeable burger connoisseurs/quick menu readers", "FAVORITE burger spot ever.

Maybe they prep a bunch at a time? Too many burger places to try this again.", "Similar to Five Guys. Cool atmosphere and good drinks - I had an Angry Orchard. They had 5 common beers on tap. Food was good. I wasn't terribly impressed with mine, I got the turkey burger with avocado and was expecting more on it BUT I was drooling over my husband's burger and secretly wanted to switch because his was packed with toppings (although he said there was only 1 slice of bacon when there should have been more). Also, the 3 dipping sauces were really good for the fries, which were also great. OVERALL, I would go here again but I would try a different burger and request all the toppings that I wanted.", "It's taste good the burger looks typical but very satisfying appetite so I bought more of it and brought it to share it with co-workers at the office and they liked it!\nHighly recommended.", "The food was delicious.

They had a lot of sauces for you to grab which was nice. I came during a lunch rush but still only took maybe 10 minutes to get my food. I got The Lunch Bag which is only offered during lunch time on weekdays and its $13.65 for a cheeseburger, fries and fountain soda. It definitely filled me up and I didn’t come close to finishing the fries. If you don’t have a lot of time this is definitely a great fast food option in Georgetown!", "Unique burgers. I personally think they're a little overpriced. Every time I've been here they ask \"how would you like your burger cooked\", I say \"medium\", and I'm served a dry, overcooked burger. It tastes great, and is served quick, but if you can't cook a burger as requested you should probably just advertise your burgers as always being cooked well-done. Would still recommend if you;re wanting an interesting burger." ]

[ "Good selection of burgers. Made to order, very juicy. With a slightly unique taste. Could be the seasoning on the beef. Nice selection of milkshakes with an option to malt then, i think. The fries couldve been crispier. And the onion rings weren't all that unfortunately. Maybe that was a grease quality issue. Im not sure.\n\nGood service, only downside is that they make orders in order. So if you're 5th in line and order only a milkshake. They will wait till the first 4 orders are complete before making your milkshake. Or at least thats my experience.\n\nThere is a sitting area upstairs. Music plays indoors.\n\nThe place is definitely forgettable, with its only saving grace being better quality burgers than the popular chains.\n\nAlso, bone to pick with The DMV in general... stop putting lime skin shavings in key lime pie desserts. It doesn't help mask if you made a terrible tasting key lime or not. /rant", "Delicious, succulent burgers and tasty homestyle fries. Cashier service was lukewarm.", "The Obama burger was good, the Sunnyside burger was very good as well. The real winner was the rosemary and thyme tries which are excellent. There's very little wheelchair,,/stroller accessible seating indoors. Most of the seating is outside or upstairs.", "DON’T GO THERE ! I used to go there often, last year, and two years before that. It was a good place to eat. When I went today, I found out that their portion sizes have decreased significantly even though prices have stayed the same, if not increased. I ordered a burger and milkshake. The taste of the burger was completely mediocre compared to how this place positions itself. After second bite of burger I found a piece of rotten onion inside, which also had a terrible smell. The milkshake was watered down and felt as if I got a milkshake that was just sitting for a couple hours and halfway melted already. When I went to speak to a manager and politely explained my situation and my experience, she started arguing with me saying that onions always taste like that, and that’s how it’s supposed to be. They would not even apologize despite my bad experience. I have decided that I will never go again, to Good Stuff Eatery and will try to warn everyone I know not to go there.", "Good burgers and shakes. Service was quick and quality. Decent pricing for George Town. Great stop if you want a tasty burger!", "I was exploring Georgetown and I was STARVING, and I heard classic rock music playing from a nearby restaurant, so of course, I went inside and checked it out. I went with the cheeseburger and the fries, and I was enthralled with how FRESH everything tasted--especially the beef and the potatoes. Eating that burger with \"I Want to Break Free\" by Queen playing in the background while enjoying a view of Georgetown has GOT to be one of the most beautifully content moments in my life.\n\n(my only complaint is that it's a bit pricey, and I am a poor college student. but it was WORTH IT)", "Good Stuff Eatery! Still amazing after all these years and I want to give it a 5 star....:but dang.. can you please fix the straw issue with the shakes?\n\nToo thick for a regular straw and the straws keep cracking! We needed to “drink” our shakes with a spoon!", "Burger was excellent and very tasty. Will definitely buy again.", "Love their fried green tomato burger with goat cheese", "Great food, excellent service, terrible energy management! Restaurant door should not be left wide open in this cold weather. There are several heaters placed on the ground level that are clearly not designed to function under such condition. So much wasted energy on heating and very little warmth in the ordering/waiting area. I was freezing as I waited for my order. Will update my star rrating if the door situation is resolved. I love this place and frequent there and would definitely love putting more stars!", "Great place in Georgetown to grab a burger. Staff was friendly, restaurant is kid friendly as well.

BUT... the fries seem a little greasier now... a little less crunchy. And the burgers don't seem as fresh. I guess they are settling into their groove at a more sustainable rate... ?\nDon't get me wrong, this is still a GREAT place. A solid 4 stars now, though.\nLove the dipping sauces 🤗", "The service was fast and easy. The burgers here are also great and the village fries are AMAZING. Got an Oreo shake this time and it was the perfect end to this meal. Definitely worth a stop if you're in town.", "I've eaten here many times before so this review is long overdue. As others have said, the service is quick and the quality on the burgers is high. My favorite item is the Obama burger with fries. As a college student living in the area, the prices are reasonable. It gets busy around lunch time so try avoiding the rush by going earlier or later.", "Good burgers and large portions of fries which is always appreciated!! Pretty reasonably priced. Service was slower than at a fast food burger place but the food made up for it", "I enjoyed their Greek Goddess salad that is very filling and well portioned. The Greek Goddess salad had reasonable portions of Kalamata Olives, Feta cheese, green peppers,red peppers, yellow peppers,onions, tomatoes and light Greek salad dressing to perfection. The fresh farmers market salads include a side of sweet southern cornbread which definitely hit the spot.", "Been disappointed twice with this place. Pricey burgers, small for the price, not that great tasting, both the grilled and fried chicken were dry. A definite skip if exploring Georgetown." ]

[ "I used to LOVE this spot on U street. After yesterday however... will not go again. Went for my birthday and got there as soon as they opened. Got a table outside, had 2 drinks and then all of a sudden the waiter told us our time was up mid drink. No one communicated with us there was a time frame and I’m sure because when we arrived, no one was there and they did not inform us. But naturally we understand because it’s Covid. We had not ordered food yet but the bouncer was yelling our direction saying our time was up and he had told us we only had 90 minutes. Got the bill (they added 20% gratuity) we still wanted nachos so as were leaving our table we are ordering from the take out window. Ordered nachos ($15) got my receipt back (another 20% gratuity added at the window) for take out! This is just what happened to me meeting a friend for my birthday. Good luck el Rey.", "It was worth the wait. The birria and the carnitas tacos were my favorite ones. Definitely one of the best taco places in the DMV area.", "Safe gathering spot. Great on staff managers and security!", "The customer service is always great! This spot is really nice for outdoor dining and a quick happy hour after work. My favorite tacos are carnitas, pollo and shrimp. Highly recommend.", "You guys should take reservations. The waitlist method is ridiculous and Is a waste of our time.

I could eat them all day.", "Fam thank you :) enjoyed it", "I called in my order yesterday, so I wouldn’t have to be out in public on U Street for too long (Covid). The guy who took my order took it wrong. I was understanding because he is also taking orders from a window which I know is difficult. I asked to speak to the manager and he was so lackadaisical about the whole thing. I kept highlighting that we are in a pandemic and that I truly did not want to wait in public. Instead of receiving a manager’s comp I was refunded then recharged, as if I took my own order wrong. The owner(s) need to make major changes to who they give the privilege of representing them. I used to go all the time before the pandemic, but after the rudeness and reductive customer experience I will never return. All in all, there are too many local Taquerias that will keep you satisfied and provide good service.", "El Rey is cool.. when you want quick basic tacos and don’t mind being around college kids. I went during quarantine to pick up food and the nachos did not have any beans on it. I wish I took a picture. It looked terrible. The quesadilla was bad too. It was soggy and I’m not sure why. I won’t be going back until quarantine is over and it will STILL be my last option.", "What kind of Mexican place only has one (mediocre) Mexican beer available? And $15 margaritas?

Their hours change too much, call before you make the trip.", "El Rey is one of my favorite bars on U st!\nThe margaritas are strong and the nachos are unmatched. The bar attracts young professionals and college students for the most part. It gets pretty crowded on weekends and during happy hour but the service is always great.", "I want to love this place. Great atmosphere good crowd helpful staff. But the tacos were only okay. Beef was tough and the pork was dry. Flavors were good though so a commitment to cooking the meats low and slow would probably make all the difference.", "OMG THIS PLACE! Their tacos were fantastic and their margaritas even better. The tacos came out super quick and were pretty cheap. Such a cool spot. It's kinda outdoors, but the heaters keep it really warm. GO!", "Come for the tacos and queso, stay for the frozen strawberry margaritas :)", "This place is so good. I love everything on the food menu. Drinks I have not explored. Only problem is nightlife and happy hour can get very crowded. Service is good and prompt.", "Fun spot for some Mexican food and margaritas. Tacos were good (but double the tortillas people!) And the margaritas were strong; real strong. Super loud.", "BEST FOOD! One of my favorite DC spots. Drinks are strong, easy bar service and lots of seating. Can get a bit crowded on busy days. Only negative, the bouncers tend to be really unfriendly. Can’t believe the ownership let’s them treat patrons the way they do sometimes.", "I love El Rey! One of my favorite Taco spots in DC!!!! If yu haven’t been yu need to go!! My Fav DC taco", "I guess I have to give one star to leave a review but I really mean to give 0 stars. I came all the way from NC with a large group of friends to celebrate a birthday. We were denied entry by the female bouncer at the door because she profiled one of my friends as drunk - yet really my friend’s feet were hurting because we walked many blocks to get there. It is really disappointing that this was our experience coming from out of state. The bouncer at El Rey was unapologetic and didn’t even try to consider that she misjudged us. Luckily we found a place called Service Bar across the street that was extremely friendly and accommodating for all of us.", "The Pescado Street Tacos are mouth watering! The flavor is amazing! The atmosphere is very open and built for mingling. The aesthetic is very Hispanic American and raw. Great place to unwind.", "Always a good vibe w/ wifey", "I love this place for a drink after teaching an evening class at HU. Fun bar staff and great management. Not to mention on U Street this is the spot to watch a international football match. (Soccer to you Americans)", "I’ve been coming here for years, back when I lived in NW DC, and now that I live in College Park I still go whenever I see a show at 930 Club. I cannot say enough about their nachos, which are my favorite of all time. The fish and shrimp tacos are also superb. This is one of the few places I go where I’ll attempt to get in even when it’s utterly swamped, because service is good and fast. The open air (with tarp/awning) back porch is a lot of fun on a warm night or even in the winter.", "The only place on U Street that has a line. They just fake being cool, but they are not. They are just rude. The bouncer called me “babe.”", "Nice place", "This was a pretty cool spot the tacos were just good. Nothing over the top but did the trick. We got the happy hour tacos and pitcher of Marg. Deff worth the price the pitcher was 24 with the tacos we paid like 40 bucks. Open roof allowed fresh air with heaters the whole place was cozy and dark in a good way. Stop by if you're in the area they treated us nice they'll do the same for you.", "The BEST Nachos PERIOD.", "Delicious tacos and amazing food but definitely busy Saturday night get there early or wait in a line forever", "Delicious causal place for tacos and other light Mexican fare. The food is very fresh tasting. It can be chilly in the cooler weather if the heat lamps aren't on fully, as with tonight, so we left our jackets on. They also have a nice carryout late night window. The vegetarian options are limited but delicious.", "The Al Pastor tacos and tamales are good. Great atmosphere to grab drinks with friends on the weekend too", "Really like this place. Friendly and inclusive of all people and great atmosphere, beverages and food. Take friends there and enjoy the indoor outdoor space!!", "I’ve been to El Rey twice and enjoyed it more each time. I really like the restaurants overall ambience and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. They serve some outrageous margaritas and — plain and simple — these people can make a taco as well as the best of the best. Try the Thai Shrimp tacos - then thank me! Highly recommended restaurant.", "I been here a few times with a friend of mine. I liked it and it was fun.\n\nIt reminds me of a bar back home in my hometown called Mas. But honestly, I think this bar has a better atmosphere in DC though. I ended up meeting a girl the night I was here hopefully it works out. I would come here again to drink and chill.", "The chicken tacos were terrible, but the drinks were decent. I would come back again and order a different meal.", "Amazing atmosphere! Reasonably priced and GREAT FOOD!\n\nThe staff is always nice and accommodating. I really enjoyed the shrimp nachos. Awesome deals on margarita pitchers too.\n\nIf you're don't want to sit down they have a convenient front window. Mostly used for the light night hours.\n\nIf you don't like this place I'd be very surprised.n", "Here for work and picked this place randomly. Awesome tacos, great atmosphere. Much better than Cats." ]

Sat at the bar for ten minutes while bartenders aggressively avoided eye contact before giving up. Not wasting our time again.", "Typical Tex Mex food and drinks. Good for late night eats. My friends and I like to go after work sometimes. Nice indoor/outdoor vibe . One thing I dislike is that because the building is essentially made of shipping containers the sound bounces off the metal walls making it really noisy in there.", "I haven't been in a while because my friends complain I always want to go here. Going into this bar is like going into another world. The layout and design of the bar is so unique and I think it's made out of shipping containers. The back of the restaurant has great light and when the weather's nice they can retract the roof. The drinks are delicious and the tacos are too. Sometimes they're closed for private events which is not fun but this is one of my favorite restaurants on U Street. I hope this review does not result in me not being able to get a table.", "Great environment that wasn't super crowded for the Caps Stanley Cup game 6. Nachos were incredible. Drinks were good. Uncertain of price since someone else in my party paid. Walking distance to metro. Good area that isn't crazy like the other night spots.", "Late brunch visit. Service was okay. Margarita pitcher was delicious! The burritos we ordered took a little long but was still good. I would return. Great atmosphere, relaxing .", "Lovely place. Decent food and nice staff.", "Atmosphere is fun and having a bar that is built out of shipping containers is definitely a novelty. The food left much to be desired. I've noticed that the DC area uses pureed beans on their nacho dishes. The cheese was a sauce of some sort and the dish became soupy rather quickly. The tacos are better than some other local venues but not anything to write home about. I would come back for the atmosphere, but not the food.", "Happy hour food prices are decent. Always come for the shrimp tacos and steak nachos and of course the margaritas. You haven’t had el Rey until you have had the frozen margaritas.", "Tacos are very delicious and the atmosphere is great. Slightly over crowded if you go on a weekend night, hard to find a table to eat at. But plenty of standing and bar room which is what I prefer anyways. Can't go wrong with El Ray", "Best Mexican brunch I’ve had in DC! The chips were delicious and available with a variety of dips. The tacos were unique and tasty, and the margaritas were strong and delicious. It wasn’t too crowded at 11 on a Saturday, but it started to fill up as we were leaving. The back portion of the restaurant has a retractable roof that turns it into a great patio that is perfect for a summer day. Also, the decor was unique and fun - the walls of the restaurant are shipping containers.", "Their nachos are SO GOOD", "Solid food and decently priced drinks. All in all a good time. I just wish it wasn't always so crowded.", "I just admit that this space surpassed my expectations. I cam here to pick up my Beerathon pass and was pleasantly surprised by the massive back heated patio. Only giving it 3 stars because their beer selection is meh.", "50/50... It can be packed and live middle of the day Saturday into the night but it's been decent, at best, on summer Friday night's.\n\nBut if you're a dude and you dont like cover or swanky dress codes this is a very good move and ya lady friends can enjoy. Late-ish menu too.", "Fridays nights are extremely busy there around 8p. We were lucky to grab a table as other people were leaving. Once seated, you have to place all orders at the bar....there are no servers. The bartender gives you a table sign with a number and your food is delivered to your table. My favorite tacos at El Rey are always on point: Thai Shrimp and the DC.", "Wouldn't let me in to eat at like 4 on a Saturday which seemed really early. I get it's a bar but people under 21 are allowed to eat food especially since they have a menu with a seemingly good selection, I dont even drink. It was disappointing. Will write another review when they deem I am legally old enough to eat their food.", "Nice space. Quick food" ]

[ "This is one of the best museums ever!!!!!! And One of my favorite museums!!!! Since the museum is part of the Smithsonian that means it’s free admission. It’s very interesting and captivating!! I love everyone of those exhibits!!!! You can go there more then once and still enjoy it!! I highly recommend going here!!!!!", "The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is an art museum beside the National Mall, in Washington, D.C., the United States. The museum was initially endowed during the 1960s with the permanent art collection of Joseph H. Hirshhorn. It was designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft and is part of the Smithsonian Institution. It was conceived as the United States' museum of contemporary and modern art and currently focuses its collection-building and exhibition-planning mainly on the post–World War II period, with particular emphasis on art made during the last 50 years.\n\nThe Hirshhorn is sited halfway between the Washington Monument and the US Capitol, anchoring the southernmost end of the so-called L'Enfant axis (perpendicular to the Mall's green carpet). The National Archives/National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden across the Mall, and the National Portrait Gallery/Smithsonian American Art building several blocks to the north, also mark this pivotal axis, a key element of both the 1791 city plan by Pierre L'Enfant and the 1901 MacMillan Plan.\n\nThe building itself is an attraction, an open cylinder elevated on four massive \"legs,\" with a large fountain occupying the central courtyard. Before architect Gordon Bunshaft designed the building, the Smithsonian staff reportedly told him that, if it did not provide a striking contrast to everything else in the city, then it would be unfit for housing a modern art collection.", "The Hirshhorn has improved so much! I think everyone realizes this. The different temporary exhibits have been so wonderful and special. I have seen so much great art. There is a variety in the kind of art that they decide to show, both in terms of their temporary exhibitions and their permanent collection. There is always a good variety of modern artists who have decades upon decades of work and experience, as well as more experimental and newer artists. They choose to show everything art can possibly be, which I absolutely love. They also have a variety of events to check out. The museum is constantly trying new things and I really appreciate it. I can visit a few times a year and see new stuff!", "Not a big fan of the art exhibit of the married couple fighting in the lobby. They kept yelling and throwing other art exhibits at each other but I respect that artistic decision and I quite enjoyed the acting. Besides that a great art museum with captivating paintings and truly inspired exhibits. Just go to it its free and its good", "Nice museum out of all the Smithsonian museums on the Mall. Contemporary art is my kind of tea here, but this museum fits the ticket well. Exhibitions are very well organized here, with an emphasis on modern and post-classical themes. Wonderful place to visit if you only have a few hours!", "Amazing museum. You literally walk up to the ascending galleries. Some very thought provoking exhibits are in store for you. I saw a sobering, yet vital Holocaust remembrance replica exhibit. Haunting as it was, the great detail made it an educational must see. Another climb of the walkway ramp brought me to a panoramic 'Pickets Charge\" by L.A. artist Mark Bradford. It references the last battle of the Civil War, but is such a stunning assembly of assets that you really have to see it in the museum. The Hirshhorn might not be the first stop on your agenda when you hit the mall, but the rewards of a visit are impactful.", "Wonderful time and worth the line to see Kuzama exhibit.", "We visited this museum in early January. It was easy to get into unlike some of the other more popular museums on the Mall. The building itself is interesting. The Mark Bradford exhibit worked well in the circular gallery of the cylindrical building. The museum is also quite manageable to visit. You can see everything in an hour or so.", "Modern art museum right on the Mall.\nEasy access. Free entry. Small cafe serving nice coffee and cakes in the foyer.\nEscalators and lifts to all floors.\nSome displays were really very interesting and thought provoking. Others appealed less. But I guess that's the nature of art.\nLots of security staff around which felt a little claustrophobic, but again I guess that's a cultural thing.\nAll in all an interesting way to spend 2 or 3 hrs but not as extensive or far reaching as some modern art museum I have been to.", "Excellent museum for any occasion. They allow you to get close enough to appreciate the art, pictures are *mostly* allowed, and they have many different exhibits, themes and art forms on display for all to appreciate. Oh yeah, and it’s free 🙂", "How do you rate an art museum? In any event, the Hirshhorn is unquestionably deserving of five stars. Fantastic permanent collection and the rotating collection is almost always eye opening. Perhaps best of all, this museum doesn't usually have the extreme crowds of other museums on the Mall (except for some of the higher profile temporary exhibits).", "Art is very objective and this particular art museum is not for everyone. If you do not like abstract and non-conventional art forms, you are better off going to another museum. It is a fairly small gallery compared to the other art museums in the area, but they are limited by the size of the building.", "This is a wonderful museum of contemporary art. It is quite small which makes it lovely for a couple of hours. The exhibits are really exciting and we did a really fantastic tour. It was my favourite Washington Museum and absolutely worth a trip!", "I love this museum! It's not huge, which means you can get through it in under an hour if you're quick (2 hours is better), but they always have great stuff on display.", "I always love their exhibits. There isn't much going on in the winter months but during the summer? Oh it's a great time!", "Fun free exhibits that often change and have interactive components. Would recommend. Took my wife here on our first date! Was lovely and romantic.", "'What absence is made of'...... This is a fascinating exhibit and worth taking the time out to visit. I believe this is a permanent one, so should be there throughout the year. Other exhibits are also great. Nice little cafe on the ground floor.\n\nTheir basement is interesting.... A statement of sorts in its own way", "Modern/contemporary art museum with interesting exhibits. If you \"get\" modern art, I'm sure you'll enjoy the Hirshhorn. It's not really my scene, but I still enjoyed the 1.5 hours I spent here. Highly recommend for any art lovers though", "Like all the museums in the Smithsonian, the Hirshhorn is amazing and so fabulous that it's free. Wonderful exhibits, and an outdoor sculpture garden as well. Easy to get to from the metro. Parking isn't too bad at certain times.", "I guess this place shifts its exhibit showings every few months. I was impressed, but not taken back like I thought I would be. I shall return for further analysis though. I didn't have enough time to really sit with the artists work. So next time i'll show the artwork a bit more respect.", "There are some really interesting art installations. It's not that friendly for wheelchairs or those with strollers. We went to the door it said to to get in and were initially yelled at and when we tried to go around told we had to go through the entrance we just tried. The elevator opens into the middle of an exhibit which you don't initially know", "Interactive and educational. This free museum has and incredible collection of art. Be ready to dedicate 3 hours to experince all of the video art and interactive stations. I can't wait to return", "Always an interesting foray into contemporary art. Very much a challenge for folks that only like representational\" art. But well worth it for a short visit to a smaller museum on the Washington Mall.", "I am not sure what is going on with this building. It used to be filled with beautiful sculptures. Now it is full of some pretty irrelevant modern 'art'?? I would keep moving and visit the Sackler collection of Asian art.", "I'm probably not the best version to review a modern/contemporary art museum, since I am not a huge fan of abstract art and I don't have that deep an understanding of art history. That said, I think that background actually makes me ideally suited to praise this museum, since my first instinct would not be to praise a museum of this type.\n\nThe size and scale of the collection is impressive without being too overwhelming, and I really appreciated the variety of different collections that were on display when I visited. The concept art was always accompanied with descriptions that helped illuminate the pieces on display, and Cate Blanchett's video films illustrating different artist manifestos was one of the most thought-provoking art installations I can remember seeing. While I appreciate that this museum is surrounding by some of the best museums in the US, I still think that someone who is interested in expanding their appreciation of contemporary art would benefit from visiting this underappreciated art museum." ]

[ "Kids love this place! Upon entering the museum a robot that greeted guests. The art pieces are interesting but some are hard to comprehend. Some are just too abstract. My family is still impressed with the collection of art works.", "Always a must see when we visit DC. Continually changing cutting edge contemporary art on several floors, and outside. Has a cafe outside as well. Part of the Smithsonian system, of which there are many good galleries.", "The sculpture garden is wonderful. The building is amazing architecture in the use of large concrete castings and geometry. I am not particularly fond of the exterior skin. I think they could have been a bit more creative there but overall, the building is wonderful. The basement exhibit by Barbara Kruger was interesting and fun. The size and use of color was disorienting but in a comfortable, playful manner. Very relatable.\nNow for the bad and the ugly...The exhibit by Enrico David fails on creativity, artistic skill, message, inspiration or growth. The exhibit by Mark Bradford also fails to convey any message other than he likes lot so layers and appear to own a very large cat that like to claw on the walls. I would suggest the curator get a bit more grounded and bring in exhibits that speak to a wider audience", "different than other galleries in the mall, they should have contemporary rotating exhibits and artist talks. Good coffee on site.", "This Smithsonian museum dedicated to modern art of all kinds is truly magnificent. The exhibits are well curated and presented, and cover a wide range of topics and mediums. The museum's mobile website even helps identify the pieces on display using augmented reality.\n\nThe Manifesto video exhibit (featuring Cate Blanchett) really stood out for us. It was beautifully shot and thought provoking.\n\nThere are limited food options, so you'll probably want to grab lunch someplace outside the museum, but the gift shop is delightful and its staff is super friendly.\n\nAllot at least two hours if you want to see everything at a comfortable pace.", "Really interesting modern art. It focuses more on the message than a museum like The Renwick (which I enjoyed a bit better, but probably due more to personal preference). The layout of the museum is great and it's perfect for either a quick walk through or a long stay to read all of the plaques.", "I don't usually write bad reviews, so let's just say that I don't know how to appreciate this place. And believe me, I tried really hard to find something in this massive yet mostly empty gallery that had any semblence to what a normal brain can accept. There were 5 black squares painted on a white wall that was supposed to explain the Soviet era transformation. Any 3 year-old could have drawn that. And then there was an old metal hospital bed frame that was in the middle of the gallery. Looks like junk your throw away.\n\nDon't waste your time. Just walk in and walk out of you need to so that it's off your \"Visit DC list\". But then again, it's just me. if you have your work of art there, congratulations. But I think humanity deserves something better.", "Such a fun museum to visit! There are interactive walls and sculptures. My 8 year old loved spending an hour there!", "The Manifesto exhibit is incredible. The art is also so unique and beautiful and the staff is so friendly!", "I really enjoyed it stopped by just to see what it was but went down stairs and stayed for the live mural painting and experience. I was never one for museums or abstract art however I ended up staying and wanting to stay until the place closed!! Definitely bring your kids here for selfies and just to get them into the world of art and really paying attention; perfect place for gateway into it!", "Amazing contemporary art museum in a beautiful location right across the street from the Air and Space Museum. Exhibits change regularly so I recommend coming back a couple times per year. Beautiful view of the Mall from the third floor. Please note this is not traditional \"modern art\" so come with the expectation to be challenged.", "Pros: Larger than life nude hefty hyper realistic man on the top floor. Pulse exhibit was very engaging. Robot in lobby was cute. Gift shop is very progressive.\n\nCons: Was expecting more content, but the next exhibit was still to-be-revealed when we visited.", "Very interesting place and well worth a visit. Please note some of the art is adult in nature. Art is modern and can leave you cold, but some pieces are very thought provoking. Gift shop in the basement.", "Great exhibition going on currently.\nOne of my new favorite museums/ galleries in the national mall!", "The Hirshhorn, colloquially known as the National Donut, is a superb gallery full of poignant and well-curated pieces that give you lots to think about. It's one of my favorites in the region and is a must-see on any trip to the Mall.", "The Hirshhorn regularly hosts the most innovative and spectacular expositions across all the Smithsonians. I have found out about many current and last-century artists through their exhibits, which routinely are deep in scope and vast in presentation. My favorite across the years is still their Ragnar Kjartansson retrospective. Hopefully one day, we’ll see him again at the Hirshhorn!", "Beautiful 3-floored museum with great exhibits for all levels of modern art...understanding? comprehension? Either way, the museum is beautiful and even has a great coffee bar (that serves decaf espresso) with awesome pastries. All of the different exhibits are provoking and perfect for a little mindfulness away from the more routine educational Smithsonians up and down the DC mall. The heartbeat/fingerprint room feels a bit \"big brother\" but is incredibly fascinating and is a very individual brand of art.", "Strange. Very modern art. Good place... Good and beverages were reasonable.", "So many places to sit when your aching feet can't take another step.\nInteresting exhibits. Lots of light. Delightful sculpture garden (with places to sit) and the music of birdsong. Coffee bar.", "You can expect to see some cool exhibits on display here, and the variety and type changes every few months so it's always cool to come back and see what new art is in!" ]

After about 10 minutes of him harassing us we finally made it in and ordered drinks from the downstair bar location. After waiting almost 30 minutes for our drinks, the bartender finally came from the back of the establishment and made our drinks. HOWEVER, as he was handing our drinks we saw TWO rats running across the counter. After this incident, my friends and I tried to find the owner, but shortly after we were told by the security to leave the premises because we 'overreacted' to the rat situation. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Aside from the events that happened that night, this lounge is very underwhelming and there are way better lounges on U Street you can visit.

We arrived the last 40 mins or so that this place was open. We ordered hookah and would’ve loved to have ordered drinks. Tamiko insisted that the 7 of us remain at the bar and not use the empty couch that was not reserved or in use. With it being a large group that seating arrangement would’ve been much better. While I understand the reasoning the approach was handled all wrong. In my opinion, she could’ve compromised by saying you can use the couch as long as you purchase drinks. Completely understandable and something we already intended to do. But she would rather be rude, lose money, and create unnecessary tension.

The only \"seasoning\" was a lone piece of parsley. And in it are big chunks of old looking mushrooms, carrot, cabbage, green beans??? I like all these vegetables but they are not authentic to tom kha at all. To salvage it, I added a bunch of seasoning and luckily I had some red curry paste so that helped.

Won't even really tell us what's going on. We sit there with no service for 15 mins only to be told no absolutely not. You cannot have someone else.... horrible service.

Getting the food was the sketchiest I have experienced and the food was mediocre. We decided to order from sticky rice yesterday at a rec from a friend. We have never ordered before but my husband knew it was on h st. We made a trip out of it and tucked our two month old in the car seat and I plugged in the address it gave me when making the order. I am not well versed with that area so when it said fenwick st as the address, I made nothing of it until my husband asked where we were going when he saw it wasn't h st. When we got there it was a literal alley with people milling about. The address was the door of a clearly closed run down auto shop. I tried calling their number from the website to no response. My husband did not want to go into a sketchy alley so he drove us to the h st location. The place looked closed and a sign said they were temporarily closed with no other information. I tried calling the number again to no response and looked at their fb and insta sites for any updates to no success. My husband called his friend who said they ordered from the h st location six days ago so that was very odd. I looked at google and Yelp reviews with no success. He thought I might have ordered from a scam site. Finally we decided to go back to the sketchy alley at Fenwick and saw some people walking out with paper bags. So my husband went into the alley and found nothing except people wandering about and a man harassing him saying he has been looking for him since the morning. He started to head back to the car when he saw a small sign tucked in at the corner of the alley saying sticky rice with a different number from the website. He called that number and at first they said they didn't have the order. Suddenly they then said they found the order and they said to wait there. A guy came out of a garage that was half open and gave him the brown bag. The food itself was mediocre but not worth the price. The miso soup was $6 for barely a cup of broth! The chicken that my husband got had no taste. The hash browns were soggy. The sushi tasted like something I could get from my work cafeteria. Once again I understand COVID can cause crazy changes but this was not well done at all.

Happy New Year to all!!", "I absolutely loved the food and the environment, but the one server we got made our experience completely terrible. Her name was ROSE and she was very passive aggressive. She made somehow made the five us incredibly uncomfortable with her passive aggressive comments. At first I thought it was just me but the other people I was with completely agreed. She kept snatching plates out of the way and sometimes wouldn't wait for a reply before she took plates away.

The rolls are great but the rice could be better.", "One of the first culinary bedrocks for the H street corridor, while newer dining options have moved into the neighborhood this Japanese-fusion place has continued to be held in high regard by residents and visitors alike.

Don't waste your time.\n\nWe used to visit often when the parents came to town. We liked it well enough—local spot with no frills sushi and other items. We could even mix it up with wings or a bowl of tots. Not bad!\n\nBut quality has collapsed and we will not be going back.\n\nSimply put, the service is awful. The food quality has declined. And the restaurant's interior just feels dingy and ignored. Hell, the last time we visited the upstairs bathroom light didn't work.\n\nThe final straw was tonight when we ordered take out through a delivery service. We ordered four items including a couple big ticket sushi dishes. What arrived was barely enough food for one, including a missing salad and a \"soup\" that was in a half container that wouldn't fit a bowl.\n\nTake our critiques for what they are worth. However, we are not picky eaters, and having worked in service my wife and I both get it when servers are rushed or don't have the resources they need.\n\nHowever, from my experience, this restaurant has such an indifference toward its customer experience that is can only be described as disdain.

The guy taking our order was too rude and here comes the MOST HORRIBLE part. I am a hard core vegetarian and ordered a veggie sub. Before taking our order he kept us waiting as he was keeping some kind of round white meat with his hands from one container to other. As soon as he finished doing that he started making my sub without changing gloves or cleaning his hands. With those same gloves he made the sub for the next 1-2 customers meanwhile keeping cheese from main box to other, shifting meat from fridge to the counter etc. Really disappointing to see this. OVERALL- The sub didn't even taste good because it was made in so much hurry and I had to throw most of it away! I would recommend to eat anywhere else at the court but not at this subway.", "Worst service I ever encountered.

I’m not sure how I’m going to get through the next 3 days, but it better be better than this. I already had to switch to a different room 10 minutes within checking in be a the hallway smelled like cigarettes and there’s no way to contact the front desk even though your phone has a direct access line.

I do not want to risk my life and the potential of brining the virus to hotel staff, common areas, all of which was explained to them, they said they dont care. They said I could either stay in the room or lose the money. They could care less about my safety or the safety of others, including their staff. I am completely shocked at this.

For the price of the room (which was reasonable) the parking should be included.", "Clean rooms, staff was great. Parking prices were a little high but worth it.", "I am in Washington DC on business and my wife is with me and we love this place. the pool is quite nice and the servers come frequently for refreshments.

The restroom wasn't super new or updated though. Shower pressure was good but the shower stall was a bit small and not super comfortable. There wasn't a tub and it was just a stall.\nA strange aspect of this hotel is that at 9AM, there was a knock on my door for cleaning services. I'm a morning person so I was already awake, but that's way too early. At 11AM, there was another knock on my door for cleaning services. Check out is at noon, so I don't really understand why people are knocking on my door this early!\nIn any case, other than that, my stay was comfortable.", "Friendly and welcoming staff.

Service and checkin were good, the room was pleasant with a comfortable bed. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony, which was hard to enjoy in February. About the location. It is not convenient to a Metro station, but it is very convenient to all the excitement that 14th St. has to offer. Another reviewer complained about the parking. It was $37 plus tax, so it came to about $42. That is normal for DC hotel parking. Some others charge $45. If you bring a car into the city, it's going to cost you, so be prepared. Street parking is not a viable option.", "I had an AMAZING stay at this hotel! I stayed at this hotel for my birthday weekend and the staff was lovely. Mia at the front desk made sure I knew about all the hot spots in town and ensured that I was enjoying my stay. The hotel’s food is fantastic and has several options! Hotel rooms are up to date and comfortable. You can dine inside or outside near the pool. Also, you have the option to order drinks by the pool. I will definitely stay here again!" ]

Price point was OK but a little high for what it was.", "Came with my family and wanted to try something new. Never tried Peruvian food before so we were a bit nervous, since we didn’t know much about the menu or dishes. Every meal was delicious. Appetizers were great. Waiter and servers very attentive and warm hearted. Would go back. Highly recommended.", "Awesome dinner. We enjoyed this place so much. Try the Pisco cocktails.", "We are family style with eleven people, three of each dish were brought out. It didn't seem like much food (aka, portions seemed small). It was nice that they had vegetarian options (a gnocchi dish, a cauliflower dish). None of the food was fantastic, but service was great (friendly, refilled water copiously).", "They have veggie options! The dinner menu is not very extensive, but whatever they have is excellent. I was happily surprised to find vegetarian gnocchi with their delicious huancaina sauce. Dessert was also yummy. Its a cozy, sophisticated Peruvian restaurant.", "What a great place! We had Nicole as our server and she made it the best experience. She described the popular items on the menu and made suggestions. She was attentive to glluten and dairy allergies and was lovely to us.\nWe ordered the pulpo, tacu tacu, arroz con mariscos, yuquitas, and the Mochica cebiche and all of it was delicious. The flavors of the cebiche and the crunch of yucca was an excellent choice together. The pulpo was nice, served as a whole piece. I was really surprised at how much I like the tacu tacu which has the consistency of a thick vegan patty. And finally, their espressos are fantastic! They get the crema effect without the dairy.\nAll in all, it was a wonderful experience! It's more of a fine dining experience than what I've been used to in other Peruvian places so you have to be prepared for that. I'll definitely return!", "Great food, great atmosphere, good service!", "Yum! Fish with mussels, calamari, cooked perfectly in a spicy creamy sauce. Hubby enjoyed steak with gnocchi. Great service too.", "Tasty food and great service. Staff went out of their way to make us feel taken care of. Will go back next time we’re in DC.", "Amazing place and tasty food. It was perfect for celebrating my parents anniversary. The atmosphere is great even the entrance is super comfortable.

Great for medium to big parties even though it is most of time packed.\nService is good, they are very busy but nice attitude.", "Good food and very good service. Romantic atmosphere. But $$$", "To summarize, great food, great service. My family and I were on a road trip to DC. We were looking for lunch around and found this restaurant. We never had Peruvian food before, so we thought we give it a chance. Food was excellent! Service were great and fast. The price was reasonable for an upper scale restaurant. The restaurant is very easy to notice from regular traffic. Definitely worth a try!", "Fantastic restaurant. Server and chef went all out to support our dietary restrictions. Short rib appetizer was wonderful as was the lamb shank and seafood stew entrees. Dessert was delicious too. Portion sizes were perfect. We shared the app and the dessert and that was plenty. Great Pisco sour!", "This is a bit tucked away, but glad there is a place that showcases high quality Peruvian food. The food was very good but took awhile - which they told us it would. Main complain t is it's not that large of a place and it's very loud. Also make sure they don't sit you next to the stairs - it's louder and you can feel it shake when someone walks up it" ]

Our bartender Noe was an great cocktail artist and was really great to talk to!", "Good food... good ambiance... good service ... make sure to try the short rib appetizer", "A good Peruvian place near Dupont Circle with memorable pisco sours and offering contemporary takes on traditional Peruvian food. Offerings highlight seafood and meat dishes, with a good escabeche and range of interesting cebiches. A nice spot for a drink or dinner.", "Great food and excellent service. Also a wonderful space for a special event! Their third floor is a lovely space. Walter is a very helpful and gracious host when planning a larger event.", "Food was ok, not the best Peruvian food in the area as I was told, but good food. The host was a little uptight, gave us the tiny table that is almost inside the kitchen. Waitress was great, very sweet. For the cost the food should be AMAZING, at least the cebiche, which is a classic. Might go back, just because the ambience is nice, but this time my expectations on the food won't be so high.", "Delicious food and cocktails. Great service.", "Amazing food. Can’t wait to return", "Elegant, delicious and well served. A gem of a place. Go there, you will be impressed.", "Great restaurant, food is very good and tasty.

I recommend this restaurant 100%", "Expensive and portions were small. Dont go if you're hungry. Nice atmosphere and restaurant. A bit loud. Food took a really long time to make for such small dishes. Service was on-point.\n\nI will give the good and the bads.\n\nI'll try again in the future to see if things changed and if so will make a change to this review. Really disappointed in the portions more than anything. People go to restaurant to feel full and leave happy, not go to this restaurant and have to go to another right after.", "6 stars for the mochica ceviche and the classic chilcano cocktail was a lovely pair. I wish we'd tried multiple ceviches. I'd pass on the short ribs and grilled octopus.\n\nProps to the bus boys here also - they are really on top of their game.", "Excellent service and the food was spectacular. The ceviche Mochica, ceviche clásico, the yuca frita and the pescado a lo macho are a must. Absolutely delicious! The gnocchis with beef tenderloin and the grilled octopus are really good too. To end your delicious dinner, I highly recommend the alfajores.", "I had a crush on this one. It’s very close to where I live and one friend recommended this place to me. I went there and was not disappointed !! The food is AMAZING!! And the prices very reasonable. I highly recommend the ceviche and the pulpo !! For drinks, piscine sour of course !! Their deserts are not the best though.", "Food was pretty good. I ordered the duck leg and it was a bit overdone and dry. We were running to a show, so had to take dessert to go, but overall a decent spot. I don't know that it's worth the prices though." ]

Josh at the bar is an incredibly charismatic and charming bartender and treated us like gold the whole time we were there despite being relatively busy.\nThe oysters were incredible, and average pricing. Cocktails were good and beers were great. We will be back next time we visit DC to try the food and see if it's worth a fifth star!", "I was stranded in DC on a November night when my flight was diverted from EWR to Dulles due to a snowstorm. By the time that I made my way to a hotel in downtown DC, it was fairly late. While that wouldn't be a problem in, say, NYC, Washington restaurants aren't noted for their extended hours. After walking around a bit in the freezing rain, I found Hank's. I'm glad I did.\n\nDespite the miserable weather, they had a number of customers. The staff was very welcoming and the atmosphere cozy. The entire menu looked good and it was difficult to settle on an entree. I went with the New England Clam Chowder and the Fish & Chips, comfort foods that were well-prepared and delicious.\n\nAs the name of the restaurant implies, they've got an extensive menu of oysters, shrimp, clams, mussels and lobster. They have a few meat dishes, but if you're not a seafood eater you should check the menu before deciding to go there to ensure that there's something that you like.", "Attentive staff, food is always on point. Had oysters and crab dip. Great food", "Oysters are a good thing. And if you like oysters, you can do a lot worse than Hank's, which now has several outposts around the DC region.

Servers were a plus and it was a cozy way to spend a chilly February night.", "The shrimp po-boy was very good.

My friend came to the DC area for her birthday and wanted a \"DC brunch experience\". She booked a reservation at another restaurant in Dupont, but they were super rude to us when we arrived, so we decided to leave. I called Hank's Oyster Bar and told them our dilemma. They told us we could come there immediately and be seated. The hostess and waitress were super friendly and gave great food recommendations. Everything was delicious, and they steadily refilled our mimosa glasses. At the end of our meal, the manager bought us shots and took lots of pictures for us. I am so thankful that they were able to make my friend's birthday brunch so amazing!", "The food here is amazing and the oysters are always severed fresh. Check Hank's out if you're in the area.", "A bit pricey, but well deserved. Cool scene with very good drinks.\n\nAlso, they were quite accommodating.

I enjoy being in this place to have a nice dinner.", "Hank's is very good. Both inside and outside seating. The hostess and wait staff we're friendly and excellent at their jobs. The menu has raw bar selections, a good variety of seafood and limited non-seafood dishes. Two of us had the Mediterranean sea bass and it was excellent! Our son had the lobster roll and he said that it was as good as one from the New Hampshire coast.", "Wow, can't believe we've never been here before. Brunch was great, we had Crab Cake Benedict, short rib hash, kids shared a French toast and a grilled cheese. Sitting outside in perfect weather was lovely. Attentive service too. We'll be back!", "Great oysters! Be careful where you sit! I was charged $4.50 extra for house vodka during Happy Hour up at the bar upstairs!!! Where downstairs I was charged $6.00 for a vodka/soda.

This was my first time, but it won't be my last.", "The service was really good. The food was, too.

Strike up a conversation with your fellow man. Enjoy all that Dupont has to offer after dark." ]

[ "Absolutely delicious. If you like oyster shooters, just a forewarning, that make it with sake not vodka, so you'd have to request it. They have oysters from all over the US so if you have your favourites, there's a selection to pick from. Their happy hour is between 3 and 5. Shooters become 2 bucks, oysters become $6 for a half dozen(essentially $1 each). The typical price is $5 and $2.75 respectively so it's a great deal.\n\nWhen you walk in you really only see a the bar, but don't let this first impression fool you! They have two other rooms for regular dining as well :)\n\nAs a surprise bonus at the end of our meal, we received a ramaken of the best dark chocolate I think I've ever had. We were at the bar though, not sure if they do this for regular dining. But at any rate, great end to a great meal with fantastic service.", "I've been here so many times and this place never lets me down and I have finally decided to leave a review to let the world know just how much I love it! From the food to the service you cant go wrong. I wish I knew how they made the Oysters so I could make them at home, they make my tummy so happy! And the price is a good price, I try to go at least once or twice a month.", "One of the best meals my husband and I have had in a long time. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and made some excellent suggestions that we really enjoyed. We especially loved the crab cakes and the hog island style bbq oysters. So yummy- I’m drooling just thinking of them!", "We went for the lobster roll. Overcooked, underseasoned, a disappointment. The fries were limp and cold. Horrible server, he took our order and we never saw him again until it was check time. Watched him focus mostly on one table our entire time there. We could not get his attention even though he was close in proximity at all times, he never looked our way. Had to order a second drink from another server and the manager brought it over. Had a long day sightseeing, we were exhausted, and really looking forward to trying this place. Even though other staff there were helpful and did their job, I will never go back. Worse meal and service in DC I've ever had.", "I come here for 3 reasons. First, it is a good spot to catch up with friends at the bar. Second, the late night oyster happy hour. Third, John is the best bartender ever. His drinks are top notch and more importantly he has become my friend. Great guy, great cocktails, and great conversations.", "Hank's was awesome. Jesse was our sherpa for lunch, very knowledgeable regarding beer and oysters. The two course lunch was awesome, and we will be back next trip to DC!", "I'd have given it 5 stars but our table was in the window box and the draft was annoying. Food was original and the spice palette unique - definitely worth checking out!", "Ronny was an absolute pleasure! He spoke to me about how happy he was with the owners and that he had been working at this Establishment for 8+ years. This is what makes an excellent business.

The oysters were great, they gave us a selection of four different oysters in our dozen.", "I have only been to Hank's once and only the Q Street location. Absolutely loved this place from the atmosphere, decor, signature cocktails and of course the food. This location is in a nice neighborhood and is 2 floors.

I tried oysters for the first time here and they were delicious. Fresh and flavorful. The staff was very knowledgeable and helped me decide which menu options to try. I would recommend getting a variety of different oysters to sample, especially if, like me, you are not experienced enough to have a preference for a specific variety. Try to make a reservation ahead of time as this place fills up fast. I would definitely recommend visiting this establishment!", "Went to a very early dinner here. If you aren’t having oysters, there isn’t a crazy amount of options. I’ve had better lobsters rolls (DCBG has an amazing lobster roll), the crab cake wasn’t very good. It tasted completely like filler and no real crab. Stick to the oysters.", "I had the scallops, which we're good. The portions of the sides were very small, so plan to order other stuff too, as we did. Our seats afforded zero ambiance where we were huddled down there in the basement or whatever. Diners seated on the main level likely have a better experience. Nearby diners were drunk and swearing aloud. The service was slow and the prices were north of fair in my view.", "Hank's is one of my favorite places to eat in town. That said, my recent visit to the location in Dupont was lackluster on service. Also, the food was good, but it was just a little off. Fewer fried oysters, not quite cooked to the standards I expect from Hank's. The lobster bisque tasted more like tomatoe soup. I've eaten at 3 of the four locations and this is my least favorite.", "I'm now a TRUE believer...best seafood in the city for your dollar!", "Lots of character!

Will definitely visit here again.", "We were there like few months ago and the smell from the bathroom was awful, it smelled like the sewage was broken open, we had to move to a table next to the bar, they don't fix the problem because it cost a lot money, they just spray air freshener, but they might lose their business or being closed by the city. It's so stupid.", "Great atmosphere and authentic food! Service was considerate too. Will definitely come back.", "I can't speak on just how traditional the food is here but it is most definitely very well prepared.

I do not recommend this restaurant. Especially if you don't want to ruin your trip to Washington.", "Excellent food at a great price.

Love it", "The lomo saltado was a hit and the place was so comfortable" ]

[ "This restaurant has unfortunately dropped it's quality standards over the years. My family and I went for dinner Saturday evening, and to start the service was poor mainly due to understaffing (there was one waiter only). The food was not great. We ordered a 'ceviche mixto' that was flavorless (could not taste the lemon or spice at all), ordered a 'papa a la huancaina' that had peanuts and was too creamy, and a 'lomo saltado' served with white onions and very salty! We've never seen lomo served with white onions! The aji de gallina was standard. The pisco sour was poorly made, tasted like a shot of pisco instead. The only redeemable beverage was the chicha morada, that was fresh. We ordered a flan for dessert that seemed that it was canned, not fresh. Finally when I asked for the manager to share my concerns, she did offer to change any of my dishes, neither to remake my Pisco Sour. I found this lack of attention to be rude.\n\nI wish this restaurant well. I hope they take constructive costumer criticism seriously so they can improve their standards.", "Great Peruvian food. Good service. Open limited hours.", "Only reason it's not a 5 in my book is because I've only tried one dish (twice) and one time there was a bone in my shredded chicken.

The service and servers were very professional as well.", "Not the place to experience REAL PERUVAIN FOOD!!!\nAnd there is only one waiter, And he was terrible!!!" ]

[ "There were not good options for dining. The bar offered some way overpriced appetizers which you could bring back to your room. We were told the outdoor dining bubbles were all reserved that night but observed most were empty that evening. The front desk was good about allowing us to park our own car vs. using valet due to covid but valet still expected a tip. Temperature in room could not be lowered below 68 deg. which is too hot for me to sleep comfortably and air was dry. Finally - the room offered one full size coffee cup and one espresso cup- esp. during covid it would have been nice if our king bed room costing over $300 had two full-size cups as neither of us drinks espresso. Liked the Watergate history film available on the tv.", "Wasn't the best experience to be honest. Only thing \"Luxury\" was the money spent. My bed and room wasn't so impressive. The ceiling needed some repairing and my showers were usually just alright. I like the water temperature to be slightly hot, not scalding but above warm. Most of the features were closed due to Covid-19. Ordered out for food, restaurant over priced in my opinion. My favorite encounter is the gentleman who opens the door and greets the guests. I didn't get his name but he's always polite and accommodating. He speaks with an accent. Anyway, next time I visit Washington, DC I will stay in one of the more hotels that are more reasonable. I was taking the wifey to impress her. However, luxury doesn't always mean luxury. It just means overpriced.", "Everything was fine until we got our breakfast in the morning. Due to covid the hotel is prepackaging all breakfast items to be delivered to our room. We were going through our breakfast when we saw a half eaten container of jam. This made us lose our appetite because we began to question the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were disappointed when we called the front desk to alert them of the issue. The person working didnt seem to care or help.", "The view was beautiful! The room did not seem to be fully cleaned. There was a hair in the shower and rings on the counter. And because of the price my wife and I did expect more. The portions on the breakfast were slim but tasty. I would return to hotel to see what it is capable of when in full swing.", "Avoid this place at all cost! I will be detailing the experience with specifics through search engines so that everything is very clear. For now though anyone who has concerns regarding their stay, or the fact that negative reviews are immediately removed from the internet, should probably contact Jon Chocklett.", "Hotel was beautiful, great service for the most part. However got charged a 54 dollar valet charge? This was extremely misleading and unethical - for a 500 dollar a night room it would be their duty to disclose with the customer to mention that this would be charged to my room. As I pull up the valet man just took my car no questions asked. I assumed it was a free amenity since most companies would disclose that money would be taken from my card. I would hot have offered to pay 54 dollars for valet if I could have parked car myself. Unfortunately will be filing a dispute with my card company", "The ceiling in the bathroom started leaking. One of the main reasons for booking at the watergate was for the beautiful deep tub but the tub was filthy! You could see old dirt marks inside so I avoided taking a bath. I originally didn’t get the room I paid for and was first told that they were all booked up then magically they found a room. The balcony and the seats on the balcony were filthy. FYI I booked the premiere king bed with balcony and view and for the nightly price I expected it to be more clean and for the ceiling to not leak.", "We had a wonderful tea party for my friend’s bachelorette. Extensive tea selection and very delicious. I would love to come back again! Our server (sorry I forgot his name!) was very attentive and provided top notch service!", "Hotel with the history.

Negative: N/A", "Came for their staycation package during COVID. Can't comment on much of the atmosphere of the hotel, other than the rooms. The bathrooms are nice. Our room had a river view with a nice tub and excellent shower, which we took advantage of. There were some major cobwebs in the corner of the room near the window, but that did not seem to be reflective of the overall cleanliness of the room.\n\nOne major downside was the soundproofing between rooms. We could hear every word of conversation, etc. from our next door neighbors on either side, deep into the night. Neither side was being loud or obnoxious - it was clearly just the design of the room. If we had had a quieter experience, I would have had no issues rating much higher stars.", "The view was nice but I felt ignored by the staff. I called several times during the week prior to my stay to arrange services at the spa only to be told they would call me back which they never did. When I arrived, I mentioned this and was told they would have someone contact me—- again, no call. So I guess they don’t need the business’s then my whole floor smelled like weed which I complained about. They said they would call me back— no call. I’ve had better service in 3 star hotels smh.", "Not sure if it's just the pandemic, but the food and room were way overpriced for the lower-than-average quality. I'm perfectly fine paying more for something worth it, but the room didn't even have a clock or microwave, half the lights flickered, the breakfast fruit \"basket\" was the cheap kind that is only canteloupe, one halved grape and bland honeydew.

In the confirmation Email ,it clearly stated Junior suite with water view. We were expecting just that. However we had room 828. I called the front desk , the lady whom I spoke with seemed a bit perturb .. she stated she had upgraded us. I advised her that I didn't feel upgraded because we hadn't gotten what we paid for. She advised she would call me back. She called me back and stated she would have the room changed. The gentlemen who changed the room was extremely sweet.\n\nWe were transferred to room 929. The room was beautiful however there's a black chair in the room with a huge stain. Looks nasty. I called the front desk to make them aware. They stated they knew. We are in the midst of a pandemic. This seems unsanitary. (Also a stain in carpet, made them aware of that. Red/brownish) We go to shower and the water didnt get hot. Warm at best. We call the front desk. Engineer came up and says he needs to adjust the boiler. Tried an hour later and still didn't get hot. At best , we had to take cool to warm shower.\n\nOh did I mention, I had reservations for the igloo 9-12. With the room change it threw us behind schedule and we got there late. The manager wanted to hold us to a minimum of 800$ however we couldn't order alcohol.\n\nWe were expecting a different experience from this 5 star hotel but sadly we didn’t get the experience. I made the mgr aware at the front desk (Adriana) she advised me that someone would be in contact. It has now been six weeks and I have yet to here anything.\n\nBeautiful hotel but lots of issues. Sub par At best", "We chose here because it had restaurant lounge parking everything right here we wouldnt have to go out for anything. The room was double the norm price cause of when we went we understood all of this. Well they shut down everything. No restaurant no lounge no ice machine no vending machines and now there is a curfew where everything else around closed couldnt even get a taxi out of there. We had to drive back to Va to eat. Needless to say been way better off elsewhere if only when we made the reservation someone would have told me. Paid 1280 for two nights with no room service they were short staffed you understand. Called for ice never came and most the time no one at front desk would answer. Valets were great! Only good part of it but of course that is like 56.00 added to bill for each night. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND", "We had a great time. Rooms were beautiful. Location perfect!" ]

[ "I stayed there valentines weekend and checked in at 3pm and by midnight I got a phone call from the front desk that they lost my key and left my window open while it was raining all day which ruined the leather inside my door. They told me they would speak with there insurance and get back to me within the week. Its been over a month haven't heard anything. Plus the t.v. wasn't working in the room. Amongst all this I went there with ny girlfriend after working all week with no sleep and I had to be up til late past midnight to deal with valet and front desk and thesloppiness.\nI expect a fancy stay but I would've been better off paying a quarter of a price somewhere else. I still had to pay full price price everything after all that.", "Stayed for my birthday. The room was nice and the view from my room was amazing", "Positive: This is a beautiful, well appointed, and convenient to access property. However, under the guise of COVID-19, the complete absence of amenities, including basic housekeeping, or even ice machines seemed to be their standard. Unworthy of luxury ratings. Negative: The thought of Washington elites carrying on in their despicable fashion, gives the hotel an air of ominous portents.", "Positive: The view and location. With the restrictions of the pandemic, we didn't get a chance to experience much beyond the room. Negative: Feels a bit dated -", "The service wasn’t good. It took a long time for our car to get parked and they left my keys inside my car and drained my battery so I had to get a jump which made us late for our dinner reservations. The front lobby was filled with cars everywhere, we were crammed in! Our hotel room refrigerator didn’t work nor did our remote control. There wasn’t a menu inside the room for room service. It was not worth the money that I paid for.", "Let me start with the positive - the highlight of the experience was the extremely polite and friendly bellman. He was awesome, alway smiling and literally running to help where he could. The housekeeper who serviced our room was also very lovely.\n\nHowever, the management of the hotel seems to be in disarray and seriously lacking. We understand that things are operating in a pandemic, but the understaffing of the hotel and the attention to detail was very disappointing for a \"5 Star\" property. We planned this trip to celebrate my son's 14th birthday, and chose the Watergate at his request as he is very interested in history. The value and service was NOT on par with other similarly priced hotels. (We recently stayed at the Williamsburg Inn in November for my mother's birthday as a comparison and it was a hands down superior experience). What we experienced was worse than what I have experienced at lower end, basic hotels. I love a good deal, and often stay in airbnbs and hotels of all price ranges, occasionally treating ourselves to higher end hotels from time to time (Salamander in Middleburg type places). You expect more when you do so.\n\nIn advance of our visit, I called several times to book spa and igloo - left messages, no responses. Finally, I booked a spa treatment directly with the front desk. On our first night, we visiting the pool/spa area for a swim, and as a result I decided to cancel my spa treatment based on the conditions of the pool/spa area. There were used towels everywhere, no clean towels to be found (we were told by the front desk towels would be available), no staff to be seen. We were there for just over an hour at 5pm on a Saturday evening and never saw a single staff person, my husband went behind the counter to find clean towels. Others were similarly searching for towels and help.\n\nOur room was extremely tight and the beds not particularly comfortable. I overlooked the two doubles, assuming it would be two queens. My oversight. We were offered the option of upgrading to a larger suite for an extra $300+ a night. I passed on the opportunity to pay $600-700 a night.\n\nThis property has a golden opportunity that is being squandered. I am in no way trying to disparage the hard working front line staff who were all pleasant and helpful when we could find them, but the overall experience was a disappointment.", "NO COFFEE in the hotel except two pod of small expresso's in the room. The restaurant also did't have much of a dinner selection. Expedia price was ok but when we checked in I just happened to double ck the price and it was a lot less. Could have just walked up and got a much less expensive room. Overall the hotel was nice just not fully running yet. Oh and the shower didn't have enough glass so water went everywhere and had to use all the towels to clean up the water all over the floor.", "Beautiful hotel on the river. Staff was fantastic.", "Positive: The atmosphere was lovely Negative: Pool could be a little warmer", "Very - I am - (still here) at the watergate hotel and I spend over $2000 for two days. I tried to celebrate Valentine’s Day as well as my BF‘s birthday but we got really disappointed. We left the room 3x to make sure we get the room cleaned but we came back 3x and still nothing. Gave up on that one. I reserved an igloo and it was ok (not worth $700- but a special occasion) but how is it that I wear my heels to just go back and forth to get my room keys! That being said the 2nd and 3rd time I didn’t want to go back down so I send my bf who wasn’t registered on the room but how is it that they didn’t even ask for his id, last name or any other information but the room # (all different front desk representatives)???? I could have stayed at a Motel!?", "As a five-star hotel, I expected better from Watergate Hotel. I’ve gotten better service and seen better rooms for a lower price.\n\nPros:\n- nice\n- some amenities were open (but limited)\n- bell hop was super friendly\n- nice bathroom\n- had a nice view of the Potomac river (costs more)\n\nCons:\n- guest services took forever to answer phone at times for service requests\n- maintenance took forever to look at tv\n- front desk/ guest services during the day wasn’t knowledgeable of room features\n- front desk at night wasn’t at the desk for 15 mins for me to checkout/didn’t answer phone\n- accidental fee cost more than what I paid for my entire stay????\n- broken key swiper on our door compared to other doors\n- no smart TV\n- lights kept flickering near the window", "I had a great stay the only thing I did not like the hotel did not have a microwave for us to eat our food up with and also they said that valet parking was $52 and today I got a charge to my card for $85 which I was highly upset about", "If you look into the Watergate, how its changed hands over the years a handful of times, and its recent renovation, you can see that it most recently entered the hands of an investment firm which owns four other hotels in the world (two in DC, and two in France). In other words, you're not staying at a location managed by some big chain which can be a good thing or a bad thing.\n\nUpon check-in I was offered a bellhop to bring up my bags, and several times going in and out of the building there was a doorkeeper, which was nice.\n\nThere was nonfunctional recessed lighting in the room facing above the window, which the lighting controller would not activate even though I pressed the \"all on\" option. Other reviews pointed out that they were flickering, so they might have just disconnected these lights.\n\nHeating and cooling in the room was perfect and quiet, no complaints.\n\nThe sliding door in the Superior Room bathrooms poses a pinch hazard. I slammed by fingers against the door and it hurt real bad, hopefully they can put a small rubber bumper or stopper long the handle.\n\nI discovered a small green beeping sensor in the closet that beeped green when the door was more than slightly opened, not sure what it was about.\n\nThe mini fridge was empty because of COVID precautions, which is perfectly fine. What wasn't fine was that mold appeared on the outside of my bottled drink the following morning, but I was only staying one night and did not bring this up to staff. It must have not been cleaned in a while.\n\nThe bed was comfortable and the linens incredibly delicate. I don't know why, but I found myself waking up several times throughout the night. I think my back wasn't used to a bed that was so plush.\n\nThe room's soundproofing is superb, I didn't hear a thing in bedroom. I did hear a small intermittent dripping noise in the bathroom, but I think this might have been the pipes.\n\nI was impressed by the quality of the television. It was just a standard HDTV, but it was a very good one, with excellent picture quality.\n\nDespite what others may say, I don't think The Watergate pays Google, or any party, for being listed as a five star hotel. There is no government organization in the United States that classifies hotel ratings, but it is a part of the Five Star Alliance and meets their (and other organizations) requirements for a five star ranking.\n\nThe amenity fee is, as of review, $33.34 tax inclusive. This covers a 24/7 fitness center, pool, High Speed Internet, a bike rental, spa (which was closed during my stay), and a business center (which was also closed during my stay). There was also newspaper access which I did not use. So in other words, you're paying $33.34 a night to use the pool and fitness center. Not terrible, considering most hotels have closed both, but including them in the rate charge instead of charging them separately would have been nice.\n\nCheckout was easy and seamless.\n\nWhy four stars? I have stayed at better hotels that were four-stars and paid less for them. As I said I think the five-star rating is probably deserved, but the location demands too high a price for name recognition alone, and charging the full amenity fee isn't very fair when a number of the amenities are standard in most four-star hotels, or are unavailable because of COVID.\n\nMake no mistake, this is no Ritz-Carlton, but it is still a fine hotel. 'Unapologetic luxury', a branding tagline used by the hotel, must be met with unapologetic honesty. An internal review of the hotel was followed up the following morning by the hotel's manager, which I appreciated very much. I hope they continue to work on their pricing and optics to deserve the five star ratings, as well as the ranking.", "Nice and clean could use a good make over, but when your that age we all need a face lift now and then.", "I haven't been to the water gate hotel just yet. However, me and a group of friends are interested in having dinner in one of their Winter Igloos that they offer during the fall/winter season. An employee by the name of Mailys Pensivy has truly been amazing with helping me book this appointment. We have been going back and Forth through email for a week long and this employee was very patient and kind to me. I've already had an amazing experience through email and now I'm even more excited to go in December.", "No eat on the bar, is terrible food. The hotel and service is nice.", "I had a terrible experience here recently. I booked through American Express fine hotels and resorts program, so I assumed this hotel would be outstanding as far as the room, service, and amenities but I was very disappointed. The room was old and worn down and had old carpet with rips in it. The bathroom was the worst part and had a disgusting sewer smell. We spoke to the front desk about the terrible smell from the bathroom (right next to the bed) and they did nothing and said they had no available rooms to change us to unless we wanted to pay to upgrade to a suite for an additional $300. On top of all this, we were supposed to have a $100 credit to use at the rooftop bar, and when we tried to use it they charged us full price and said it would be “taken off later”. A week later, it has not been taken off, and I’ve had to call the hotel 3 times now and they just keep telling me a manager will call me back at a later point. As someone who travels frequently, I can definitely say this hotel may be categorized as 5 star but it doesn’t feel upscale at all.", "It was a nice hotel and the staff was friendly, but we were disappointed that the sauna and hot tub were closed during the 3 nights we stayed. It was also disappointing that the outside igloos were not free to access, but needed a reservation with a mandatory food and drink minimum of a $200. We just wanted to take a few pictures in them, thus, the $200 was not worth the reservation. Also, upon leaving the hotel, we had only used the valet for our first night, but were going to be charged for all 3 nights. Along with 3 other charges we had no knowledge of, including an over $500 charge we were told would be placed back onto the card. The valet charges were refunded, however, the pending $500 charge went through and we were still charged 4 days after we were told it would be put back onto the card. It was a beautiful hotel to stay at, but not really worth the overall hassle.", "Yes covid is in full effect so my wife and I decided to stay local for our wedding night. Got a supposed premiere room for close to $500 but there's nothing special about it. A balcony? The 12th floor? I contacted the hotel ahead of time to let them know that we were getting married and staying there and requested to have something in the room. Maybe some wine, a card, anything. Get here and nothing. Not even water. No convenience store, no room service, nada. Went to the rooftop and spent over $100 for three appetizers and two drinks. $52 for valet is nuts but expected. Just a very very disappointing experience for this kind of money. I will never recommend anyone stay here.Paid extra for the \"breakfast\" during covid with no real kitchen service. Four boiled eggs, small OJ, coffee, fat free milk, cheese plate, toast and various breads, yogurt, and fruit, of course there were NO utensils in the bags. How are we supposed to eat the fruit and yogurt or spread the butter on the toast exactly? No one picks up any phones. So if you need fresh towels or anything else you are stuck or need to go to the desk. Terrible terrible terrible!!!", "The lobby and rooftop have been renovated and I love coming here for a drink." ]

Macy's stores used to have cafes inside the store which my family & I personally liked. Parking is difficult except early on weekends and holidays. Metro Center is the closet metro station - right across the street. However, if intending on purchasing a lot - unless you have a personal shopping cart for schlepping merchandise - metro isn't very convenient.

Great deals at Macy's backstage", "Keanu who works at the Customer Service Desk is cheerful and very helpful. Even when Macy's in Downtown DC was about to close, he never lost his professional demeanor while working with a huge line of customers all alone. Only this type of customer centric professionalism retains customers." ]

Was too greedy to get a pic, but I had the impossible and it was yummy.", "I ordered frim this place and on the order page adding a side was *required*, but each side cost an additional charge. I finally decided to splurge a bit an add a $5.00 side of sweet potato fries. Though I was charged for them, they were not delivered. I called the restaurant twice to address this and got no answer. Money is tight right now and this was a splurge to celebrate something special, so even if $5 (and whatever small increase it added to my tax and my tip percentage) might seem small to some, it wasn't to me. I am very frustrated and am hoping to hear back from the restaurant about this.", "Food was fantastic. The restaurant was clean. They even have outside seating. The thunder fries with chilli were so delicious! We will be back.the service was excellent too.", "My wife wanted a good burger... she didn’t want Capital Grill so I searched “best burger restaurant near me” Thunder Burger came up and we said let’s give it a try.

Don't go anywhere else.", "Everyone who works there is super friendly and the food was delicious and came quick", "The food here was AMAZING. You can taste the freshness in everything. I ordered hot wings to start with. They were crispy and flavorful. The burger was prepared perfectly, topped with pulled pork, crispy fried onion strings, amd BACON!!!! AMAZING!!!

It was my first time there and I will definitely be returning when I am in the GEORGETOWN area.", "My favorite place for Burgers. definitely worth a return trip. mood here reminds me of colorado springs area.", "Tonight was our first time here. It exceeded our expectations. We sat outside for supper during a midweek walk after work. The burgers were amazing. My husband loved the turkey burger “Learning to Fly” and I had the “Ventura Highway” beef burger. Loved it. We started with Calamari and they nailed it!. Drinks were very reasonable. Our waiter Zouhair was outstanding and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was attentive, kind, personable and also treated our dog like a king. Loved the whole experience! we will be back. You have to try the Key Lime Pie.", "Great food.

Ordered three burgers and three sides of fries. 70 dollars before tip. Fries were cold when we tried them on our way home. Missing a side of fries.

If in Georgetown, you need to stop in and have a beverage.", "We sat at the bar for happy hour, and while the bartender was good, they were out of nearly every beer I requested.

In and outdoor seating!", "Lackluster service. Good food", "It was amazing!", "Good food and atmosphere", "Although it was packed we were able to get a seat quickly. The burger I had was great.

Giving poor review rating here since it is same address and p. # in hopes I save someone else from throwing their money away... Do not order - from any reference to Taqueria del Pueblo with this address and phone number via any app (dry meat, 2hr delivery)...", "I'll start with the positive. My food was okay not hot but warm. We all ordered appetizers and people came in after us ordered and got their food before us. We waited almost an hour for our food. The nachos were terrible, you can tell the chili was from a can and not homemade. I ordered wings and fries. Crab dip was the only thing that was hot and fresh. The atmosphere was pretty dope but I probably wouldn't come back if I do it'll be for the crab/crawfish dip only. I think our food was sitting awhile before it got to us because my fries were warm and not hot at all. I gave a 2 star rating because I did eat my wings and celery.", "So good we went twice whilst here. Nice atmosphere, lovely staff and great food. Obviously there are plenty of burgers and beer. Speedy service. Definitely worth visiting.", "Seemed like maybe it was a training night since none of the waiters really had it together. Very slow service, no checking in, and was very difficult just to get water refills. Had the Learning to Fly turkey burger. Was fine. Biggest complaint would be the cost for what you get.", "The food was great and the people working here was very friendly. If you are hungry in Georgetown. Thunder Burger might be the place. Good selection of craft beers.👍", "Average food, below-average service. The greeter didn’t want to smile or say hello as we walked in, seated us in a really bad spot when most of the place was empty. After he seated us we moved to another table that was next to ours. A few minutes later the guy walked by, gave a look and just waved his hand like he was questioning why. Then another guy came to take the order, again no hi no smile nothing, we placed the order - food came fairly quickly and was ok. Not sure why the experience felt so cold though, I did my part and tipped generously but I won’t go there again", "Very nice.", "Burger was dry(no sauce) fries were old. Probably because it was take out", "I was there yesterday afternoon and was greeted by the bartender 15 minutes after sitting down. After being greeted, he walked away without asking what we’d like to order. Not a very busy place, the bar only had maybe 8 other people and the restaurant part was empty. Eventually he asked us what we would like to drink and attended to us in a somewhat timely manner. But at this point, I’m a bit upset. Had he started with a simple hello and a water I wouldn’t have felt so ignored. But THEN Puddle of Mudd’s She Hates Me plays in the background and he turns the volume up and laughs, telling another customer that this song represent me and how I feel towards him. Not only was that extremely disrespectful, completely immature. I heard good things about this place so I wanted to give it a shot. The drinks and food were great but their bartender really ruined the whole experience for us.", "I'm in DC frequently, but decided to stop here on a whim. Best decision for food this far. The buffalo wing appetizer was great. The Carolina pulled pork sandwich was good, but could have used a little more sauce. The staff was extremely nice. Also the bar's interior is well furnished." ]

Good spot if you are shopping in the area.", "I’ve been here twice and really enjoyed it both times! They have a big menu and a fair number of vegetarian offerings. The first time, I had the impossible burger. It was good, but could have been dressed up a little more with toppings (though I’m sure you could ask for those). The second time, I had the falafel burger, which was delicious. The fries are also really good. It’s got a cool rock music vibe and the staff are nice. They don’t take reservations, but I didn’t have an issue getting seating either time. Definitely give them a shot!", "We had a great Saturday brunch here. Staff are super friendly and great food and drinks arrived promptly. Unfortunately given the time of day we did not sample their full range of beers. Cannot recommend this place highly enough - hopefully we will be back to test out more beverages!", "One of the best meals I have ever had! Our waiter/bartender, Ben (I think that's right), was great. He suggested I try my salmon blackened with sauteed spinach, thankful I listened to him and it was the best salmon I have ever had 😍! It was cooked perfectly! Our meals were so good we went back the next night. Don't miss out if you are in the Georgetown area, you won't be disappointed.", "Terrific burgers and fries, so juicy and flavorful. Loved their remoulade as well. Good and fast service at lunch time.", "Our server was great! But the food was average. The fries aren’t super crispy and their house made ketchup is a hit or miss.

It is a loud tight place so if you are going on a date, go somewhere quieter where you can hear your partner.\nOverall good experience", "Very excellent selection of burgers, the beer flights are also very good. Extremely cool place to be due to how it is decorated and built.", "Great bar tenders and wait staff. Yummy food. Thanks for looking out for the mayor of Thomas Jefferson's niece.", "The Big Pimpin burger is great if you're on vacation or trying to impress someone (with a burger, I guess?), but it's just another burger. Good burger place, just don't confuse it for more. The bartender is aloof enough already.", "This is a nice place. Kind of hidden on the street.\nGreat food , good quantity decent price.", "Family was in the mood for burgers so we walked and came across Thunder Burger and MAN we were more than impressed with the quality and taste of these mouthwatering burgers!!. They also have AMAZING desserts. I had the bread pudding with vanilla gelato...so so good", "The food was AMAZING. Best sweet potato fries I've ever had! The music over the loudspeakers was pretty loud and the lighting was very dark. Really friendly service too!", "Some of the best burgers I’ve had. Great signature burgers with different meats like bison, elk, veal and Kobe beef. Yummy cheeses and sauces. Fries are excellent. Awesome beer selection. It never disappoints.", "Burgers are delicious! (5 star burgers & excellent fries) Service @ the bar was just okay. Food is definitely worth the visit.", "Wow! We just stumbled on this place by accident. So glad we did. Saturday brunch was very good. My wife had the eggs benedict, I had corn beef hash benedict and it was excellent! Highly recommended.", "Great place in Georgetown! I had come here numerous times for a drink, but had never eaten. Recently decided to sit down and eat, and I'm so glad I did! Burger was incredible, and the fries were pretty top-notch as well! Great hidden gem in Georgetown, especially if you're looking for a low-key/cheaper, yet still delicious meal. Will definitely be back", "I came here with my husband and two sons not too long ago and it was divine. We flew in from Dublin and was greeted by the nicest young man who took us on an \"adventurous tour of Thunder Burger\" as he so kindly put it. Rashid Was his name and my husband and two sons just adored his company as he kept us laughing all night; and had good recommendations on the Love me tender burger I believe it was called. The food was top notch and the service was grand we will be coming back again. I loved this place!", "We ordered delivery from Thunder Burger today - 2 burgers, neither of which was what we ordered. Even though the slip on the bag listed the right order, what we received was completely different. This was not the first time the delivery order was incorrect, but not to such extent. When I called the restaurant, the manager said he will call Uber Eats to figure out whose fault it is (I would think the kitchen ?!) and call us back (never heard back). The food is great there, but I would caution ordering delivery from that place. I won't do it again - not worth ordering expensive meal and then getting a surprise!", "There should be more burger joints like this one, with inspired and unorthodox confabulations. Enjoyed surveying the menu. If you're a hungry carnivore, step in here. Well worth it." ]

[ "Great Tapas style experience right in the heart of Georgetown. Four of us had a very good selection of tapas and all of them were great. Pitcher of sangria was good... but not great as it was too watered down. It was VERY busy with every table full but food came out relatively on time.", "Great food, all Tapas were of good quality.\nSangria was really good, worth coming back for more.\nDennis was out waiter and has great attitude.", "Not bad at all! Chill staff with great service and a super cute outdoor back patio for an intimate setting. Get the croquetas and the albondigas.", "Food good, service from our servers good.\n\nZero stars for the lady who works in the restaurant, I don’t know if she’s the manager or hostess.\nVery rude person to customers, not only my table but other tables too. She just showed zero professionalism while working, also treats really bad the personal (bartender, servers, food runners).\n\nIn case if she reads this review:\n\nPraise in public; criticize in private!", "I had a terrible experience at the restaurant yesterday with my wife. Service was very slow despite the place not being packed. I also got one of my dishes (steak) with a big hair in the middle of it. Upon telling the waiter and waiting another 15 minutes, they bring me back the same plate with the middle piece removed and the rest of the pieces heated and very dry. It was such a disappointment as the other dishes were delicious. I do not think I will return after the experience, especially when considering how the staff handled it like it was perfectly okay!!!", "Came to this spot years ago after driving 13hrs from FL to D.C. I gotta say I was impressed. The atmosphere is a nice chill authentic Spanish vibe. I did not eat anything, just popped into the bar with a friend for a few cold ones. But the real story here is the service that was provided. Our bartender Tornike was nothing short of exceptional. He really made the place feel cozy and welcoming all while attending to basically the whole bar area. Big shout out to Tornike, this man needs to be appreciated.", "Loved the food and kind waitresses! Prices are reasonable", "Bodegas was a fantastic dining experience! The tapas was delicious and the service was exceptional! Very friendly staff and wonderful authentic feel. I will return to Bodegas next time I am in Georgetown!", "Super delicious tapas! Staff is top notch!", "Bodega is an amazing place to enjoy one of the best sangrías in town, paired with exquisite spanish bites. Try the paella if you're hungry, it's a house special and very authentic. The service was outstanding, very amicable, attentive, and personal. Would definitely recommend anyone to visit this spot when in Georgetown.", "This is one of the few restaurants in D.C. I go out of my way for. Delicious food. I hope they don't go out of business during these times.", "We got Large Arroz Abanda (seafood paella) extra spicy and it was really good and perfectly seasoned. We visited Spain last year, and we were really craving Paella.... this was almost as good as the ones we had in Spain. The large is supposed to be for 2 but 3 people can easily share it.", "The last two times we’ve come to Washington we have had Saturday brunch at this delightful Spanish restaurant. They serve a fixed price unlimited tapas meal, and everything on the menu is delicious. There is a wide variety of options, probably 30 or more to choose from, ranging from various cheeses to beef dishes, seafood and cheeses. I most recommend the mushroom rice with Idiazabal cheese or the mussels in saffron white wine sauce. Having tried at least half the items in the menu I thought each one was tasty. Of course we added on a sangria pitcher to the meal, and for the extra $10 we had slightly more than ample wine for two. Great place, heartily recommend for brunch.", "The gambas were way overcooked and not very garlicky. The Spanish tortilla was served with a mountain of plain mayonnaise. The jamón serrano was so dry and tasted like it just came out of a package. The manchego is better at Trader Joe’s. Would not recommend.", "We went on a Friday night and had a good time! Service was fast and food was hot! Highly recommend the Cava sangria!", "This restaurant has become a staple of our trips to DC. Perhaps the place is a bit small, so you better be familiar with your party. However, the taste is big and the variety is something out of the ordinary, even for a Tapas place. One after the other, the chef delivers flavorful morsels. The next one even better than the last. If you dine there, do yourself a favor and try the Sangria, at least once. Reservations are a must, especially at peak hours.", "Good food at reasonable prices with decent serving sizes for tapas. Still go again", "Love the tapas here, and they probably have some of my favorite croquetas in the DC area. This place has been around for sometime, and found them on Instagram right before COVID. I have been able to enjoy their outdoor patio since it's stayed so warm out. They also make a mean Pisco Sour that I use to get during the \"sitting at the bar\" days. They sometimes offer an unlimited tapas special which is amazing. So happy that these guys are still going strong- it's hard to find good Spanish food in DC", "Ordered from Ubereats for a pickup. Waited for 40 minutes outside the restaurant and they never prepared our food. Service was more than awful. The lady at the restaurant was the rudest person I’ve ever seen. Apparently, they forgot to prepare our order but they refused to apologize or even acknowledge that. Instead, they blamed us for ordering from Uber instead of ordering directly from them. We asked them to cancel the order but they refused and asked us to wait for another hour. In the end, they completed our order on Ubereats and charged us for the food which we never received. Have to call Chase to dispute the charge. I feel sorry for UBEREATS for having to pay for this restaurant’s fault. Trust me, if you want to be treated like a human, AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COST.", "Best place if you want yo eat some Spanish food with a Spanish wines or beeers. The waiters are very nice and helpful.", "Cozy and good service. The food was ok too", "We had margaritas and they were great, strong and very good tasting. A little small but might just be a college town thing.", "I get that Pealla Chicken along with the rest of our order and my son almost brook his tooth from a bone and when I called the manager, he responded saying \"That is the way we serve it for 16 years\"\nNever ever recommend to anyone.\nSee the picture", "Went to Bodega Spanish Tapas & Lounge in August of 2018 with a group from a Writing Seminar. I ordered a pear salad and am still thinking about it almost two years later. Maybe it’s because it was the first meal I had outside the Georgetown Cafeteria in a week, maybe it was because I’d walked two miles in the rain that afternoon. Nevertheless, I had an incredible time with my friends and still daydream about that salad.", "I’ve been here a couple of times and both times the food has been amazing. Yet the service has been awful. Today we our server took our order and never returned to attend us. He never came back to our table. First we noticed him giving shots to a table, and he poured himself one too. Later he goes over to the table next to us and starts talking to his friend in Spanish. I’m Colombian and he was just being loud and cursing like crazy. After a while he brings shots over to the table and of course he takes one as well. Then continues to stay there. He was drinking on the job right in front of us and didn’t care. We kept asking a bus boy for water, boxes, etc. Meanwhile our waiter was talking away. Finally we got his attention and we asked for the check, he seemed super annoyed that we took him away from his conversation with his friends. We ended up tipping the bus boy instead of tipping our waiter. The bus boy was very helpful and super respectful. He was working really hard the whole night. The restaurant should promote him for a waiter position. Instead of hiring unprofessional people like our waiter..\n\nI have never been to a restaurant with such poor management. The waiters here are extremely unprofessional, immature, careless, and seem to take their jobs as a joke. We were understanding about it the first time, but tonight changed everything. We won’t be returning unless they change their management. If anyone is trying to come here, just save yourself the trouble and try to find a different place. Unless you want to be ignored your whole night while your waiters drink their shift away.", "Spanish restaurant with Brazilian music inside. Food is not so good too. Attention can be better." ]

He is a gem and always makes us feel welcome and does an outstanding job keeping the tapas and drinks coming. Highly recommend making a trip to experience it yourself.", "Delicious food, great prices and amazing atmosphere. Only three stars due to service. Sadly service was not up to par. The waiters argued in front of me which one would get my table versus a table of two individuals dressed in casual business attire. Granted I was wearing jeans, plain t-shirt and low cut boots. However, my appearance should not indicate how much I am willing to spend nor tip. Even after arguing and deciding which table each would get, I still did not receive service until I requested a waiter from the bus boy.", "Had the all you can eat brunch. All of the food was delicious. Large number of choices. Great atmosphere to chat. Will be coming here much more often.", "SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. We were sat upon arrival because I made a reservation. Two tables were sat after us and they both were attended to before my wife and I were. The busboy named Carlos catered to us more then our server Jose did. Our server took our order and we did not see him until it was ready to pay. We ordered chicken croquets, the chicken inside was very dark in color and tough. Overall a terrible experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.", "I guess it's hit or miss? I had seen some reviews mentioning awesome food and service, happy hour, tapas. It snagged me in. The service wasn't good or bad, food was brought out quick, but accented by empty waters and empty wine glasses. We opted to leave and just count it as our appetizers. It was around 150 for 4 wines and 5 tapas. Prices for wine seemed fair (no mention of happy hour from our server). We probably would have gotten a bottle had we been offered at any point in our 20 mins eating tapas. Atmosphere is nice.", "Worst greeting, worst attitude. Staff must be more polite and kind. I do not recommend that place", "The brunch is a ton of fun! Only four stars because they only allow three small servings of their great sangria per table. That equates to maybe two or three drinks per person with a table of three or four. The price is a little high for drinks if you have a larger group than that. The menu also doesn't mention restrictions on certain items that are under the unrestricted area for unlimited. Food and drinks are fantastic.", "It was excellent!!! The food was amazing! They have a great selection of dishes, and the staff is magnificent!! We enjoyed the food, the ambiance, the service, and their amazing sangría!! I definitely recommend it if you like Spanish food, if you wanna know what Spanish food can be like, or if you really miss Spanish food!", "Absolutely terrible. Sat around for 20 minutes and didn’t get served. Other people that the waiters knew were getting served even though they came way after us. I finally had to get up and ask for someone to take our order, and I got a “oh Woops.”\n\nDo not recommend. This is Georgetown, there are plenty of other restaurants. Avoid this place.", "Went here with my husband for a date night\non Valentine's day, had a reservation and we were there on time. We waited 2 hours and 30 mins for food to come, not only that, they kept giving us the wrong food. Once our food actually came, mine was cooked incorrectly. At that point I just gave up. The 2 hour wait time should've been our cue to just leave this place. You can just tell how unprepared they were for the volume of customers they had. The owner/manager should've known better (I mean, it's Valentine's day!). A lot of other people were complaining by the lack of customer service, wrong orders, etc. It was undeniably the worst I have ever experienced. Will never come back here again.", "My friend is a vegetarian so we decided to try vegetarian pallella. Then we change our mind and try 3 Tapas instead. During the waiting period, we hear Michael’s marvelous guitar and this nice lady’s fleminco dance. Their performance makes the food taste better. Surely the food is tasty and Marvin’s service is awesome. We like the food and atmosphere there! Recommended!", "Came here for happy hour after work one day and enjoyed it a lot. The happy hour deals (i.e. sangria pitchers) kept everyone happy. The $5 tapas were tasty - would recommend.", "Great ambiance and very good portions for the money. Food was cooked to perfection and served quickly, and the staff was great! Definitely recommended!", "Cozy environment. Non pushy waiters.\n\nGreat tapas.

The wife and I had reservations at 7:30 we didn't leave until 10:30, we were there for three hours! The staff clearly did not plan accordingly for the holiday. They were short-staffed, food took forever to arrive, servers couldn't remember orders and kept getting orders wrong. It was a mess, the only good thing was that they gave us free alcohol and appetizers to try and ease the pain. Also was kinda disappointed that they had a set menu for Valentine's Day, I chose the restaurant cause I wanted paella...but no paella that evening. Be warned, do not come here for Valentine's Day.", "Had an incredible dinner experience here. Every dish we ordered was delicious and they had a great selection.

Because of COVID somethings were not available but that’s to be expected. The hot water in the sink did not get very hot and the HVAC unit is a bit loud. But overall it was a great stay. Quiet room overlooking the atrium. Hotel is is a good location. And again, amazing bed!!!", "A quick weekend stays for the cherry blossoms and DC history sightseeing. The staff is very friendly. The room was clean. I live the bed. It's very comfortable and had a refreshing great night's sleep. The hotel was very quiet too. Valet parking was expensive, but you pay for peace of mind.

The front desk staff always demonstrates an exceptional degree of professionalism.\n\nI noted the general manager personally attending to two separate in-room guest requests. (And as an aside: both times after he stepped off the elevators, he performed a perfunctory sweep through the entire lobby, resetting and tidying anything that a guest might see in seconds.)\n\nThe rooms. Well. There is nothing wrong with them. They're gracious and accommodating. They are just , well, a bit out of tempo with the decor. Arguably, the finish level is still high. It's just staid\n\nBut what truly makes me love The Westin brand--the bed and bed linens! It didn't disappoint", "Great location. Comfortable beds. A/C did not work though. First night stay was hot, but luckily, the weather outside got cold the second night which made the lack of a/c more bearable. Our friends had to change their room altogether because their a/c did not run at all.", "Our stay was great! The hotel has a great location to walk around DC.

I am sure there were other rooms in the hotel, as it was not full. And it was bizarre that you would have to use your own signin account for Netflix, the hotel didn't provide with a $14 internet cost.", "For a high end property I Can’t believe there is a charge for wifi service.", "I didn’t like that there wasn’t a microwave in the room. The restaurant in the hotel is closed due to Covid so a microwave would have been useful. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay.", "Westin hotels are known to be a VERY nice hotel. Well in this case we were put in a room on the1st floor at the had BIG ROACHES ! There was ROACHES in the bathtub! ROACHES by the TV and ROACHES by the bed. I WAS SO SHOCKED. I called the front desk and asked them if they have been having this issue and she told me no . I said can I please be moved to another room. When we went to the other room it was the SAME THING. I’m taking a step further to contact Mangement because this has got to change. We are in the middle of a pandemic , this is the time where EVERYTHING should be EXTRAAA clean and sanitized !", "The hotel had no food or beverage service available. The room was clean and comfortable. The service workers were sweet unfortunately not enough of them.", "Was nice valet 70 dollars a night is ridiculous though", "We had a nice stay here. It was a quick check-in. The neighborhood is busy, but the room was quiet. I got an upgrade to a city view room and it was a great view. My partner worked in the room for a couple hours and found it comfortable and easy. My only complaint was the lack of microwave.. and the super expensive parking. I just bought parking at a near by garage for less than half what the hotel was charging.", "Wes is a great ambassador at the Front Desk and always does his best to make my stays enjoyable. Fehti welcomed me back with a big smile, was checked in swiftly. Some of my favorite servers were there to make my meals enjoyable - Emebet, Shawn, Donna, Kathy, Alem, Ayana, Karina and Abdul. Chandra was kind to stop by and make sure everything was to my liking. I missed my favorite dish at the breakfast buffet but they prepared a special plate for me! Yes, you heard right. I will be back! Great hotel, great staff, great location.", "Good spot. Central location to many places in DC so an easy Uber ride.", "This is a very nice hotel. Smaller than most of the other Marriott properties nearby... and that's a good thing. It has a more intimate, boutique feel. Off the main lobby are smaller pockets of seating areas perfect for quick meet-ups before heading out. There's a great bar and lounge area and the bartender is excellent and plays awesome music. I was there for 7 days and interacted with a lot of the staff. Every single staff member was courteous and helpful... and that is rare.", "Picked this location for our son to get rest before his college audition early the next morning (heard about the \"Heavenly Beds\"). Hotel layout is unique with an interior \"city\" inside of the lobby, as you can look up and see a charming visual of rooms and upper layers of the building floors. We stayed in a suite, and because it was a special room and the guest before us had a late check out, we ended up waiting an hour+ for the room to be ready. We were exhausted and I had to work from the lobby to put out a \"work fire\" remotely. \n\nOther than that our stay was wonderful! Staff on site was helpful in every way, restaurant was easily accessible yet not in direct flow of incoming and outgoing guest traffic. Beds were comfy, room spacious and there is a theme of self-care and wellness throughout the establishment; including roll on essential oil blends bedside to help with relaxation. Nice experience overall and I left well rested!\n\nThe only thing missing was an indoor pool.\n\nParking valet is pricey (street parking available but it's metered) so we opted to not drive in DC.", "Nice clean hotel, great location, close to all DC destinations.", "It beautiful and amazing. The workers are the best even with my request during the Covid-19 they’re will to help always. Thank you guys.", "Very nice place. The staff at the bar was great and the rooms were great. The only downside is the lack of nearby places to eat. I mean you could walk 5 minutes, but if you're not planning for that then it could be a problem. The White House is also about a 15 minute walk which was cool to see. No other complaints.", "This Westin is well-located... a short walk to great DC sites and restaurants. The interior and exterior are rather standard-looking, but fairly up-to-date. Check-in is excellent... quick, efficient, pleasant, helpful. Our room was clean but a bit small, though standard size for the hospitality industry. Beds were comfortable. TV control was poor; that was the only substandard aspect of the stay. Bathroom was clean. Check-out was as efficient as check-in. Nothing to complain about here, and lots to love. We'd definitely stay here again. Tremendous value for what we paid." ]

[ "I love that the Westin was welcoming to my pup and had no \"rules\" to tell me about as business owners so like to. He is a service dog and it's awful when someone doesn't respect that. But The Westin did! The room was spacious, comfy, and clean. The TV guide didn't work but the rest of the room was great. They put me near the elevator as I requested and the building itself was beautiful.", "The complimentary breakfast as a platinum elite member was very nice. This was a pleasant change after staying at the Westin Old Town where they offered complimentary continental breakfast but still charged us for part of a full breakfast and said they were sorry but could not do anything about it. They did a very poor job and did not delineate the difference between the continental breakfast and full breakfast. I will not plan to stay at the Westin Old Town again, but would stay at the Westin City Center again. I was not offered the option to leave a survey for the Westin Old Town.", "My son & I stayed at the Westin for father-son weekend to see the Giants-Redskins game. The hotel was a little further away from local attractions than I expected (Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial) but we still were able to walk back from the American History Museum. There were some decent restaurants nearby. I loved the Peloton in the fitness center. Nevertheless, rooms, bathrooms and guest room floor corridors are dated and in need of a PIP.", "Was ok nothing write home about during a pandemic nothing available", "The hotel is really nice, the only thing that would make it better is if it had a pool. Valet is too expensive, but it is DC. You can park across the street for $25 overnight. They have some delicious drinks on their drink menu as well. Minor complaint: we did get a call to our room as soon as we walked in saying several people complained about noise. We had just walked in and I was brushing my teeth and my significant other was changing. Neither of us was being loud. The room next to us, however, was being a bit loud.", "Excellent staff at the front desk and behind the bar. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and spacious (The bed lives up to the hype!). The gym was nice and even had kettlebells. Will definitely stay here again.", "Beautiful, well-updated hotel with interesting 1960s-70s novel layout. Quiet, beautifully proportioned guest room, with large bed, ample workspace, and good space for kicking back. Extremely welcoming, friendly staff, providing excellent service and seeking to anticipate your needs. Don't miss the wonderful man making omelets in the a.m.--they were excellent and he had a lovely way of looking after the customers. The other waitstaff were just terrific. Loved it! The City Center area is also really interesting, with all kinds of interesting restaurants nearby.", "Centrally located within walking distance to all entertainment D.C. has to offer, this hotel was and is the perfect fit for the price and hospitality. Our experience and especially the staff made us feel as if our trip to D.C. and stay was at the most expensive hotel. Our other friends that stay at other hotels around the block, paid way more and didn't have the welcome home experience we did at this amazing hotel stay. Coming from Tampa Florida, all the places we'd stayed across the nation, The Westin Washington D.C., is the top 2 best experiences. Thank you staff for the tips on where to visit and how to remain staff on our stay.. you make our family feel loved and safe as you would your own family, again, thank you..", "I’ve come here for church Sundays for over a year and have never had a bad experience. The staff is great, tentative, and the place is always spotless. I look forward to seeing Louis and Ana de Carmen because they’re always smiling and excited to upgrade our Westin experience!", "It started ,with the valet and bell service. They didn't coordinate with each other and we were made to feel unwelcome. Also don't have breakfast there, if it was compted due to the poor valet and bell service, I would have been ticked off to pay $30 for a breakfast buffet that had over cooked eggs and under cooked sausage. Not until we sat down did the waiter offer \"made to order\" eggs. Overall service needs to be more friendly. On the bright side, the bartender in the evening was great.", "Enjoyed our stay. Hotel is located close to everything. Just a $10 lyft ride away from everything or a 1-2 mile walk. Wife was pregnant so walking wasn’t an option. Breakfast buffet TERRIBLE. Wish I could get my money back. Other than that. Great stay for a quick trip to DC.", "My family gathered at the Westin Washington DC City Center to celebrate my daughter's graduation weekend. 5/17 to 5/20. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The reservation for our 4 rooms was handled professionally and efficiently. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. We were eligible for a suite upgrade and my husband and I gave this option to my sister in law and her husband since they just had a particularly difficult year. The suite provided a wonderful luxurious environment for them and they were very grateful. Our entire family had a great time. The daily breakfast buffet was delicious and the dining staff was very attentive . \nOverall, our stay at your hotel will remain a special graduation weekend memory for my family.", "The hotel is perfect for a trip to Washington D.C. when one is likely to spend much more time outside of the hotel than in. It is perfect for business trips and for tourists who want to see the sites. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This applies to ALL of the staff: the young man outside the hotel , the concierge, the bartenders, etc. \n\nI like the inclusion of a refrigerator in the rooms and free water was a special treat.", "Stayed for a conference. Conference staffing not very nice, and amenities for the conference were poor, although guest rooms are well appointed. Nice location in DC. Food is okay if you have no others options, but lots of nearby restaurants that are superior.", "Cristela, who check us in was so pleasant and welcoming. She placed us in a room with the most amazing view. Service during breakfast was outstanding. The servers made us feel like family. Barry at Infamy was super kind and attentive! The staff is great!", "Absolutely great stay at the Westin Center City in DC. Very friendly staff that provided positive outcomes to our every request. This was our first time staying there and we are sure to come back. Great location too. The lady behind the bar in the lounge is great. I felt like I was talking to a good friend. The hotel is very clean.", "Made me some money", "Our stay at the Westin, DC was wonderful. The staff immediately attended to any request we had, the rooms were clean, the front desk efficient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!", "The Westin in Washington is bright, fresh, modern. The rooms are large and beautiful. The staff is professional and friendly. If you learn the bus, metro system it is easy to get to. Walking around the hotel you feel quite safe and there are lots to see.

The manager, Pete, was extremely nice and I Hope to make this a regular place to visit every time I'm in DC.", "Small, fun, intimate. Lucky if you find an up and coming comic before they blow up here. Snacks, beer, spirits and wine available...average price is close to $9 a drink...little more little less. But tix ($20 ea.) and 2 rounds of 3 drinks ($29) was less than $100. Not bad for a quality date.", "Great place and great comedians! I've been here 5 times. You always get your monies worth and then some. I like the intimacy of the venue. It is indeed small.", "First time visiting the venue. Very intimate space with clear sightlines and good acoustics. We saw Rhea Butcher and they were amazing. Also parking on the street on a Saturday was pretty easy in this part of town.", "A fun spot to hear up-and-coming comedians fine tune routines on their way to (hopeful) stardom. An intimate setting lends itself to similar joke palaces in New York or Boston.", "The venue is intimate and you can feel the comedians vibe with enthusiasm on stage. We will return b/c I love my FEMALE COMEDIANS and my wife too😍🎯", "Small venue perfect for watching your friends in amateur comedy shows. Seats 200. Relatively new looking. Would be an amazing venue to catch pros since it's such an intimate space. Long and rectangular, so best seats are in the middle.", "Small venue, but easy to get to. Bar was out of half their menu, so that could be improved.", "Your experience maybe different from mine. I went last year around this time of year. I dimby even live in DC anymore. The food was good I remember...I think the name changed.", "Low-key venue for comedy. Large drink selection, if not a little cramped for the lines, but there's no bad seat. Prices are affordable too.", "Always great shows. Buy drinks once you arrive. Intimate feel, big enough, but small and up close. Great staff. Love the free improv after the last paid show.", "Great comedy club in the city without the moldy smell of so many others. We saw a free open mic night show and really enjoyed ourselves and the comedians.", "We went to the Attack of the Comics show. There were definitely some low spots, but the highs were so much higher and brighter than the lows. There were a couple young ladies that I'm expecting to see big things from in the future. Best part? It was free! Loved it.", "This was a relatively small venue, with great visibility of the act we were there to see, and a pleasant atmosphere. Drinks were available, and I believe some snacks were too. I like smaller venues, they make the performance feel more personal, and the crowd size isn't suffocating. I would like to see more shows there in the future.", "This place is an awesome spot to see a favorite comedian. It's not huge, but is roomy enough to be comfortable. Very funny making eye contact with the comedians - they actually feed off your laughter.", "First time visiting DC and first comedy show. Had a great time!", "Fun and cozy venue. Four gender neutral restrooms. Lines move at good pace. Could use vents/AC, but clean. Concessions stand is a bit cramped but really friendly and quick service. Usual candy and chips. M and Ms can of coke and diet coke $6.50. So very reasonable compared to $5.00 small waters at Warner Theater. Was a lot of fun. Two thumbs up. Not a bad seat in the house.", "Fun place to see comedians. Large seating area with attached drinks and snacks vendor.", "Good spot I gave it 4 stars because parking is limited to parking garages or if you're lucky in finding street parking", "Pros:\nThe comics were all very good; the host, opening act, and headliner.\n\nCons:\nI attended the 7:00 PM Saturday show. After the host, opening act, and headliner all performed, The show in its entirety was over by 8:00 PM prompt. It was 8:03 pm as I checked my watch while walking outside the building.\nThe parking garage identified on the website was closed before 7:00 PM on Saturday, and all the garages I saw as I was driving around the venue we’re closed as well.\nNo food service, but you can purchase packaged snacks and drinks.", "Great show, easy to access, relaxed atmosphere. Comedy stage feels intimate and you feel close to the action. Clean and neat. Service is efficient and friendly. Will definitely go here again.", "I love this small and cozy place. If want just get out the house for laughter. I recommend here for it.", "Nice laid back atmosphere. Comedians was very funny amd they even had decent drinks. Me and the wife came past this place while on our date night. Well worth it.", "No frills comedy club. No table service like a typical comedy club but there's a bar out front.

Wish the ceilings were a bit lower cause the room feels pretty big but it still feels intimate enough for a 50 or so seater club", "Perfect smaller venue.

The opening act was great to", "Good affordable comedy. Saw Megan Gailey this past weekend. The Drafthouse in Washington D.C. is a nice small venue. They also have an cash bar which is a nice convenience", "Excellent venue. The staff was friendly, our show was awesome, and the theater is small and personal. Oh, and the drink prices are weirdly reasonable.\n\nNote that the theater is set up differently than pictured now. The stage is centered on the long wall, and chairs arc around it so you'll likely end up much closer to the performer.", "Was invited to the place to see the routines of stand up comediennes, especially south Asian ones. Some of them were very good and some were not so good. But overall a nice experience and a fun way to kill some time.", "Saw Chris Destefano here. He was great. The club is small and intimate. The drinks are mixed well and the prices are cheap for DC. Their rice Krispy like snacks are awesome. Will definitely return. Caught dinner and drinks at Stan's 1 block away before the show, great night out. Easy parking found on street for early show.", "Number one spot in DC for very affordable tickets. The talent that comes in is great!", "It's ok, just chairs around the stage. Good sound system. Drinks were outrageous", "Great show. Hilarious local and national talent.

The comedians are funny and alcoholic beverages are offered at reasonable prices. i would definitely recommend.", "Nice comedy for a free event, though the humor focused heavily on race issues on the particular night I was there (and one patron and her two friends were offended when called out by the mc on mildly boisterous behavior for being \"white girl wasted,\" which ended up being awkward). There were some folks who have potential, and I'd totally go again. . .it was free! And, it was nice supporting area talent." ]

Rare and appreciated in the DC area!", "Great venue to see local comics and national headliners", "Not the usual vibe. The tiniest bar I have ever seen, no food, just bagged snacks. Line up was ok.

Went a second time a few weeks back for an amateur show which was extremely hit and miss (what do you expect for a free amateur show?) but none the less the venue was still packed. Only gripes with this venue is the overall size, can be a really uncomfortable fit for bigger stand ups coming out, and bathrooms are always packed, and not clean what so ever. Other than that its a great time overall.", "Awesome little comedy club... Only downside is the open mics are funnier than some of the headliners... Nice drink selection!", "We saw a Second City show here and it was great, small venue that is sort of like a large conference room, but the comedy was great.", "Comics were good but I didn’t appreciate ‘Karen’ in the front row interjecting her comedy every two minutes.

I need the 7 cities to really embrace the talent we have.", "This venue was super awesome. The ambience is very chill and the building has an open space loft like setting.

They do serve hard liquor, beer and wine.", "I went here for an event sponsored by AU veterans for free, and it was very entertaining. Most of the comics were regulars at Drafthouse Comedy. The beer on tap was very good. The whole venue was clean. Would go again.", "Enjoyed the comedy and the intimate setting... Just wish they had more drink options AND had no clue they don't serve food at all. Next time I'll eat before going but will definitely go back.", "It's a nice place, it's just so much smaller than I expected.

Good service.", "I only go to the lunch counter section, but it's AMAZING. Not healthy or cheap (it's easily a $16 lunch), but if you need a comfort food sandwich or a giant decadent salad, this is it. The fried chicken sandwich and the bahn mi are excellent. I haven't gotten up the courage to tackle the Reuben yet but it looks worth the food coma. Also good homemade cookies and baked goods, and fancy teas and lemonades. It's a treat but a worthwhile one.", "Went for brunch and had a great time! The food was delicious and came out in a timely fashion. The host was pleasant and friendly. All around great experience!", "On vacation in Washington DC, August 2017 we ate at Woodward Table We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was and beautifully presented. The service was excellent as well. We never heard of \"Pork Wings\", however they were so good with the pickled cabbage and peach slices. The peaches could have been more ripe, but did not take away from this outstanding delight. We dined at many of the surrounding other outstanding restaurants, but this was our favorite!", "What a beautiful restaurant! And the staff was so amazingly nice and thoughtful. My friend ordered a meal for her two young children and without being asked the meal was split beautifully on to two plates. The food was delicious and our large party had a great time.", "Great happy hour specials! The wine selection and happy hour bites are really good. The hummus and olives are fresh. The bartenders are really friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back!", "Food was good, not great. Service was super. The host was pleasant and friendly. All around great experience!", "A crab cake sandwich loaded with fresh crab in a toasted bun. Perfection. The French fries had a garlic salt that made it hard to stop with just one. Reservations recommended. Everything from suits to shorts but a more professional crowd. Next door they had a less formal cafe that had desserts to go that looked amazing", "This is my go to lunch spot in DC the prices are reasonable atmosphere is very professional the service is always on point. The menu has something for everyone. And to be honest they benefit from being in a bit of a desert for food options you can either go up market across the street to Roy's you can go around the corner to Quick grab-and-go places but if you prefer middle of the road sit down lunches this is the best bet in the area.", "Best breakfast in the area par-none. Fast, cheery service and great snacks. Get the breakfast burrito!", "Very nice place for a beer, wine or whatever you're up to. The wine selection is not that good, no Albariño, for instance, or much Spanish or Italian wines. But in general, very nice place. The staff is awesome.", "Great southern classics, nice cooking.

Their fresh squeezed OJ is also the bomb 👌🏿👌🏿", "Stopped in here for lunch and drinks on Saturday. The vibe is pretty classic downtown Washington. We ordered the Hot Mess to share between two of us and it was excellent. Really good biscuits and gravy, and even the fried chicken was very good. Oysters weren't very good. The \"Vietnamese iced coffee\" was just a regular iced coffee, but the server was great: he noticed I wasn't drinking it, inquired, and then removed it from our tab without my even asking. I'd also recommend the mac & cheese. Not among the best in the city, but still good.", "Great location, very convenient. Had a business meal there; we were very pleased with the food and the service.\n\nI also had a drink at the bar while waiting for my companion - the bartender was great.

They have a nice selection of grape, orange, cherry, and colas sodas here with real sugar. The kale salad, mac and cheese, and Kentucky hit brown were all delicious.

We had turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes with giblet gravy, cranberry medley, Brussel sprouts, broccoli stalks, sweet potatoes and we added specially prepared Parker House rolls. Everything was perfectly seasoned and prepared! It was our first time here and we will definitely be going back!", "I came here to grab a good, local sandwich. I was planning on getting the Piggly Wiggly based on the advice of a website I have since forgotten but instead opted for a Chick Chick instead. The Chick Chick is apparently their most popular sandwich and I did overhear many patrons ordering it while I waited for mine. The inside of the restaurant was clean and simple. It's actually tacked on to the side of the main restaurant, Woodward Table. My sandwich arrived relatively quickly and I imagine this would be a good stop for a workday lunch. The Chick Chick was very good and had a lot of different flavors going on. The cranberry relish really surprised me with how good it was. My one issue with the sandwich was that it wasn't quite salty enough for my liking. I would have deducted one star for that reason, but to my surprise they actually carried one of my favorite kinds of chips (Zapps Voodoo) so that made up for it.", "I first tried this place out for winter restaurant week (Jan 19-25 2015). I service was excellent. The atmosphere was very nice and elegant. I sat at a table close to the kitchen where I could sort of see how things were done. I didn't ask for anything, my waiter saw what I needed and he took care of it. Each entree I ordered didn't take long at all to come out. He made very nice selections as far as my drink and dessert. I came back for dinner in March for my grandmother's birthday. Naturally we would have another waiter to attend to us but she wasn't as good as the gentleman who helped me previously. She maybe had an issue with us because she tended to the table behind us more and bypassed us often. I may have read into her actions a bit much but all in all I love this restaurant. Sidenote, I ordered the same exact dessert I did during my first visit and it looked different but still tasted the same.", "Pretty decent Cuban sandwich, though it takes longer than expected", "Friday night 6pm walked right in got a nice quiet booth. Thank you!! So nice to sit down to a fine meal after a day of museums. Excellent food, attentive service, but not rushed.", "Good place to have a good meal outside. Inside is fine too. Food is good, service attentive, and on the whole it's an above-average experience fit the DC area.", "Absolutely terrible service. Have been here twice and both times the servers refuse to seat reservations until everyone is there. Cocktails are poorly made with too much syrup and sugar.

[ "I have been to this restaurant on three separate occasions. All with coworkers for lunch since it is within walking distance of our company. The first time I had the fried chicken, greens, and macaroni and cheese with a biscuit and gravy. The chicken had flavor to be desired, the greens were decent, the biscuit and gravy was good, and the macaroni was great! I pressed my fork into a few noodles and cheese oozed out. As a cheese lover, I was very pleased. The second time I dined was during restaurant week. The food was pretty good. I had the gnocchi and the trout. The chicken was not on the menu anymore, but I am assuming the rotate them out quarterly. I had a dessert to go, but didn't get a chance to eat it. Our server got a little busy, and seemed to completely neglect the fact that we were eating during the lunch rush. He brought our entrees out and disappeared. I'm not sure what kind of weird section he had for the day, but as an ex server, I judge my service especially hard, and this time it was sub-par. The third time we dined was the following week, and there was a slight language barrier with our server, which was fine, but my coworkers asked if they had bread, and she automatically assumed they wanted to put in an order for an appetizer bread portion without actually verifying that that was the case. They wanted a complimentary version, so that was a little off putting as I feel she should have been a little more thorough before just assuming a table wants to pay for something that restaurants often offer for free. It was actually really good bread though, so I guess that is the silver lining. I ordered the double cheeseburger, and had to tell her how I wanted it cooked, which was also a slight issue, but I digress. The burger was good, a little overcooked, but tasty. It was heavily charred on one side though, to a point where I couldn't finish it. The fries were mediocre, they may have been old. Overall, food is decent, service is just okay. Also, there is this older black man that I think serves as a host and he is really touchy with both patrons and the servers (all female, of course). E.g. unnecessarily touching on arms, shoulders, and even the lower back of a server the first time we visited, and has made me uncomfortable on more than one occasion. I don't care if you are old and *think* that what you are doing and saying is charming, you are in reality very intrusive and crossing a transparent line of harassment. That should be addressed because I doubt I am not the only one that has seen these happenings and felt this way. Unless my coworkers decide on this place, I will not be returning.", "A good, but not great dinner. Nothing was bad about our night out at Woodward Table, just not a place I'm dying to return to. The food was tasty, but not inspiring. The service was on-point & friendly.\nI'd go back for drinks & apps at the bar, but there are many other great choices in DC to try for my next visit.", "Amazing food - we are picky new yorkers and absolutely loved our late brunch here. I ordered the butternut squash soup, acai bowl and a side of biscuit with butter and apple compote. SO GOOD! My boyfriend had the eggs benedict and said they were perfectly poached. Service was fast, will definitely be back! Highly recommend.", "We arrived at this restaurant on a Friday evening. We had reservations and we did not have to wait to be seated. Although, when we sat down no one came to take our order. We actually had to flag down a waiter and he said he would take care of us.\nThe rolls are excellent! Since we were still waiting for our appetizer, the waiter brought us more rolls which I didn't want because I didn't want to fill up on rolls but they were irresistible. I got the fried artichokes and my friend got the Cesar salad. The fried artichokes were ok, I think a different sauce would have tasted better. The salad was good. For our entrees we got the venison and crabcakes. They were both very good. Our desserts were very good as well.\n\nThe ambiance is very nice. We got a good view of the kitchen and were able to see the complexity but organization of the kitchen. The restaurant is large and also has a private room area for parties. The bar area is large as well and there were many people in that area.", "The food is packed with flavor, masterfully crafted from their lunch fare to their dinner, soups to steaks, always delicious.\nTheir lunching sandwiches are plentiful with tasty meats and sauces, their happy hour appetizers are seasonally concocted with the freshest of ingredients, sure to make you happy for more than an hour.\nThe service is fantastic. Great people, always attentive, engaged and genuinely happy to serve you.\nPrice-wise, about what you expect for a place down the street from the White House for dinner. Lunch time, it's a steal. The Jive Turkey costs as much as a Pret a Mange sandwich with way more meat (a stack of turkey, ample bacon, 1/4 avocado, etc.), fresher ingredients, flavor, care and attention.", "Get the mac and cheese. Its a side and AMAZING. Sandwiches are great here. I also sometimes come for a milkshake and mac n cheese.", "Absolutely terrible service. The hostess forgot to seat us, once we were finally seated, we waited for our food for over an hour. During that hour we watched our server continually walk past us and avoid our table as to not face our questions about the delay, we also watched the Manager walk past our table but talk to the table next to us, apologizing for their long wait for food. After over an hour without our entrees, being ignored by our server and even the manager, we walked out. I will say the bartender was great and made a delicious martini.", "I had a really great lunch here. I went back for dinner and it was very average. Nothing to write home about. It's too pricey to be merely average so they get three stars.", "Great grab ane go options for lunch. Otherwise, a rather stoic, serious restaurant offering good food and ,quality. Doesn't do anything to differentiate it from many other American fare places around it.", "Great value with local ingredients.", "Lovely place at night. Jazz on. Food good. Nice experience. Close to White House", "Chicken Biscuit for breakfast was amazing and filling. I would suggest that for breakfast, but note that it will get messy! It's so good!!", "Awesome for brunch. Friendly staff, affordable drinks! Fast service.", "that's a good place.. goid serve always.. good job well.done and alll the best.. that's so much helpful..I love it... amazing.. thanks for good work", "Went there for brunch & wasn't disappointed. I wish the menu had a few more options & pork substitutions. Gulf Shrimp omelette was delicious.", "The server we had is a little bit odd. Messed up one of our orders and gave my drink to the other guy. Although my crab cake with bacon is decent. Will try again to see if the service will improve.", "It was definitely a fine dining sort of experience. The lady who served us was very nice and courteous. But the portion sizes are very small. Towards the end I ordered a dessert (costed 11$) but was disappointed to find a tiny slice of cake ! I would probably not go there again.", "Yum! Expensive lunch but worth it. Be prepared to wait a bit for your food, depending on what you order", "At around 2pm, there was no hostess when we arrived so we sat a high top at the bar. We did get menus after a few minutes and the hostess told us we should have waited to be sat. The pizza was floppy and not very good, but the rest of the food was decent. Service was not good at all. We finished our food before the server came back to check on us. I had to ask for more water instead of it just being done. Wouldn't recommend this place.", "Our group visited Woodward Table on our last night in the DC area. For a group of eight it was some of the best service I have received while dining out. I had the 8oz Filet Mignon with the Mac and Cheese. The Filet was cooked to perfection!\n\nEverything looked wonderful and tasted even better. I would recommend Woodward Table to anyone looking for a wonderful sit down meal. Our server was Antonio and he was an absolute joy!" ]

[ "Farmers and Distillers sent me and my friends at Bedford Court some of their all-natural donuts and I just have to say, they were all so good I couldn’t pick a favorite. We had vanilla, chocolate and maple ones that were all eaten within the day and everyone I shared with can’t stop talking about how great they were. This is the first time I've seen these 80-90-year-old men and women laughing, smiling, and dancing. These donuts appear to be better than any medicine! Their yeast donuts were fried to a golden, doughy, airy perfection! In fact, they’re better than any birthday cake I can think of! Each donut is a perfect personal “slice” of cake! They reminded me so much of the donuts my father used to eat when I was young making these not only a sweet breakfast treat, but also a trip down memory lane. These really are the best donuts I’ve ever tasted - the only possible thing I could think of that would make these donuts any better is if they were zero calories!", "I ordered the sweet potato ravioli with a side of salmon, garlic parmesan knots, & a slice of cheesecake with bananas foster topping. Everything was so good. The garlic knots were a little chewy but otherwise very good, and the sweet potato purée was perfect. The balance between savory and sweet and salty in the dish, and the texture of the heirloom carrots overall made for a beautiful fish. I snuck a taste of the cheesecake before eating dinner and it was so bomb! The salmon and bananas foster topping were both premium add-ons ($8 and $2 respectively) but the cheesecake slice is huge and you get a lot of food. Very well done.", "The service and staff were wonderful, but the menu selection items weren't great. I understand that COVID times pose challenges for restaurants, but other restaurants have still been able to provide good breakfast items for their brunch menu. My brunch experience here was more like lunch. For example..they have eggs but no egg white or ability to order an omelet. It's the simple things that make a big difference.", "We like a lot going out. Last night we came to this excellent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a delightful evening there with first-rate cooking and an efficient crew and a talented cook. We put this fine restaurant in our list and we shall no doubt come back soon. Highly recommended.", "This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and it was my birthday. The brunch buffet was very good; the customers were properly distanced from one another; and the serving (buffet) area was clean. I was concerned about how the restaurant would pull off safety during COVID since the restaurant looked small from the online photos, but they are operating at a 50% capacity. My family and I enjoyed the experience, our server was exceptional, and I will definitely come back.", "Our waiter Bobby was great, and their social distancing practices were superb. The outdoor heaters were definitely a bonus. I've been here at least 30 times and the food was on point as always.", "Jeff, Our Server, Saved the Day!\n\nAttentive, professional, personable, patient, knowledgeable and easy going.\n\nWe were moved from one outside table in another Server's section to Jeff's section. That first table had horribly uncomfortable seats.\n\nIn Jeff's section, he attended to us as if we mattered! There was a bench near our table. A boat load of people in a party waiting to be seated sat right beside us less than 6 feet away😳. My friend and I were grossed out! We asked to be moved again. Jeff was preparing to move us to a table not so close to another unblocked off bench. A Manager approached us saying: Yea! We sat that table. I asked why wasn't the bench marked off. Anger rose over her face as she exclaimed: We're going to mark it off! Talking while walking away. How unprofessional is that?!?\n\nMy food came out below room temperature and my friend's fries were cold. We shared our concerns with Jeff and he ensured things were made right.\n\nI'm truly grateful for Jeff who cared because that young, female Manger on duty Saturday, September 26, 2020, during lunch time sure didn't.\n\nNo Social Distancing plan for the bench less than 6 feet beside your table. YUCK! Smh", "First, I rarely review not-so-enjoyable places, but I felt this feedback may be of value.\nOur experience with this place happened during brunch when my wife and I decided to make a reservation and pay the famous Farmers & Distillers in DC a visit.\nUpon arrival, we were seated about 30 minutes early, which was a plus. The host led us to a booth. First thing we noticed was the lack of cleanliness of, under and around the table. We promptly asked one of the staff members to clean.\nOnce our server showed up, she immediately explained how the brunch buffet works and went very quick and quietly over the additional items available for brunch, along with the buffet. I kind of caught something and asked later for further explanation.\nWe then ordered drinks and headed our way towards the buffet, expecting a nice and organized food buffet, which turned out to look more like a line for what resembled prison...if I had to imagine. I'm not exaggerating. It literally looked like some church buffet for homeless. The food was dried out, burned - I can't even describe the unattractive presentation, not to mention the taste.\nWe went back to our table and waited for our server. We asked if there were any options other than the buffet. She then told us about the small bites which are part of the brunch buffet but available upon request.\nMy wife and I looked at each other and felt that maybe there is still some hope to get some decent food. We then started ordering multiple small plates, from dumplings to pancakes. We have never tried so many items in one restaurant...but couldn't find anything palatable.\nWe gave up trying, as we became full from having one bite from each plate.\nMaybe the lunch or dinner menus have better options, but we are not ready to give this place another shot...ever.", "Great Food!! Server was amazing by being readily available, making suggestions, providing a sample platter without being asked and trying to help us make selections. She really went above and beyond. The place was diverse with customers and staff. Very welcoming and smooth visit, start to finish.", "It was amazing. Came into town to find great food and so far this is the top pick. The buffet style was different in a good way. Only bad thing is that we didn't make reservations so we had to sit outside and it was very windy.", "We reserved a table ahead of time and were not told until we sat down that it is a buffet only. In a time of “pandemic” that was already concerning to us. We were reassured people serve the food to you so customers aren’t contaminating serving spoons etc. However, we were already on edge with that. The outside table had bird poop (I asked for it to be cleaned and they did so) but then the plate had one curly black hair on it. We left to go elsewhere as we did not feel comfortable with the level of cleanliness.", "All they offered for breakfast was a $30 buffet. The food was fair, but our group made it enjoyable. Too bad the propaganda machine has shut down so many other restaurants in DC, and all over our nation. The CDC and the media should be sued for the destruction of the businesses.", "Pleasantly surprised by the buffet. The grits could use some help though. Everything else was very good. Best pancakes I've had in some time!", "We hosted a small surprise baby shower. The host was amazing he sat us and periodically checked on us. He came and took pics forbus. Our server Kenia....AMAZING!!! She was super attentive. She really laid out our options and checked up on us often. I was only sad about the carrot cake donuts...please bring them back!!! It was an amazing experience!! Thanks!! I WILL BE BACK!!!", "Celebrated my birthday here. Everything our little group ordered was very tasty. Standouts were the delicious Seared Tuna and Drunken Beef & Chicken. The large portion of Bread Pudding was the BEST I’ve ever had, and I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve tried many. Ask for ice cream with it. Our waiter Manny was very knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Kudos!" ]

[ "My friend and I went here thinking it would be similar to founding farmers; it was but the food had no taste/seasoning. We ordered the hot crab and artichoke dip which was mainly filling and hardly any crab meat. The shrimp scampi I ordered was bland; it tasted like they washed the shrimp and threw it on the grill. No seasoning, spice, anything. At first I thought maybe I ordered the wrong thing until my friends meal came, she ordered the FF fish and chips, that I recommended because this is my regular go to order at founding farmers. The fish had the same consistency but the taste just wasn’t there. Our server was awesome though; it totally wasn’t his fault. We ended up sending both our meals back and leaving the restaurant. If you want drinks this would be a good place to go. As for the food, stick with the original Founding Farmers.", "Absolutely excellent food and a safe buffet for brunch! They offer outdoor seating but it can still get crowded inside during brunch. Will absolutely be back!", "American food and the setting here is better than most. one of the best spots in the area. the service was very helpful and observant.", "Our Waiter Andre was very sweet. Brunch buffet was not anything I could eat. We had to order from the menu. Pancakes were good.", "Wow, this was a birthday dinner to remember. The service was extremely slow and the waiter was the pits.\nAs far as the food. It was okay. This was not my first visit and it's apparent that Covid has affected not only the service but the quality of the food.\nI have dined here for Thanksgiving when it was extremely busy and and service was A1 and the food was spectacular.", "As a first timer maybe I was expecting too much from the outer look. I got the unlimited buffet. OMG,😩 EVERYTHING was horrible and dry . Fried chicken,french toast and brisket was dry like sand, salmon supposed to be glazed ....was not , the grits were watery, mashed potatoes were not done . Most of the food was cold. When I asked the waitress for whipped butter , she gave me frozen blobs of butter for my French toast . She also did not know the difference from Black forest trifle and Strawberry lemon🤔. When I asked for the Manager i watched her go to her and her reaction was not pleasing . I've never been so insulted, the Manager offered me free drink\nWHAT LADY? Be mindful of outer views of food establishments because the inner is not as beautiful and tasteful\nSigned, Mad as He**", "So I saw other reviews for this place and I was actually super excited to go. When I got there I was immediately a tad confused because I didn't see online that it was buffet style but I won't blame them for that because I'm sure its listed somewhere but I did not research all that well because honestly I was beyond hungry! The server we had seemed to be annoyed and constantly cut us off while talking. We get the food none of it was hot and also the taste was a tad lack luster for both my husband and I. We only had one small plate each because we just simply did not like the food at all. Then the bill comes and it was 80 bucks food + mimosa Nd we hated the food so I was pretty regretful of my choice of restuarant after that. I don't mind paying for good food but it just wasn't worth it in my option. Pros were they had a lot of options ,carving table bacon was not bad and mimosa was not bad.", "Amazing food. Best grilled salmon I have had. Definitely check this place out.", "Great place. The best fried chicken I have ever had! Tons of choices on the menu!", "Awful experience. Came for weekend brunch with reservation and sat outside. Didn’t even get water until 40 minutes later. Got assigned a server after flagging down another server and then got plates to get food from the buffet. Nobody was there attending the buffet and you can’t get your own (understandably due to COVID). When a server came, he didn’t know English. Drinks and half of the food, you have to order from the menu and we only got to order once in the 90 minutes. Never got french toast or pancakes and kept being told they are making some. Dirty plates sat there forever. Dessert round: they ran out of most of the things we ordered and got things we never wanted to “make it better”. I frequently visited Founding Farmers Restaurants before COVID, but not again.", "The buffet for Labor Day 2020 was the worst I've had at any Founding Farmers restaurant. Most of the food was burnt (french toast, hashbrowns and eggs) and not edible. There was also no clear direction for customers to get in line due to COVID- especially for the desserts and parfait. I missed out on half the food items because of this. The food I did have was not tasty at all and my partner was not able to find anything to eat at all. I got in contact with the manager (tall & blonde) who also happened to be the rude hostess that asked everyone to wait outside essentially smothering the customers already eating outside. She gave us food \"from the kitchen\" that was still burnt and gross. They also allow dogs which is nice until you realize the entire patio smells like piss. Way too cramped outdoors and inside the restaurant. The whole place is a mess and I will not be going back.", "Wow this brunch!!\n\nWe came here yesterday, before the caps game. It was amazing!\n\nVery crowded, but well worth the wait, and the squeezing through the crowds.\n\nThe food is amazing! The french toast is one of the best around. Different than what you would expect, but incredible none-the-less. The only thing that threw me off was the whipped butter, I thought it was whipped cream (typical on a waffle/french toast bar) and threw a big spoonful on top. It was only after the first bite did I realize it was butter, YIKES!\n\nThe only reason for the 4 star was where we were sitting. We had the first table as you get inside to the left. So we were bombarded by people standing IMMEDIATELY next to our table, with even more people trying to get through and occasionally bumping out table.\n\nIf we weren't seated there, it would have absolutely been 5 stars.", "Unfortunately, I feel like they missed the mark tonight. We had to send one entree back because it wasn't cooked, it was the drunken beef and chicken, the noodles were not cooked. We also had the fried chicken. One piece was literally fried fat and gristle, our server had to take it back and bring us Another piece that actually had meat in it. The donut that was served with it was extremely dense and was not tasty either. Our server did a great job and was extremely gracious but I'm sure he had to be embarrassed. I'm hoping this was just an off night because I really love the farmers restaurants.", "Farmers and Distillers has become one of mine and my friend’s favorite restaurants! The food is delicious and the menu is so unique with fresh ingredients and healthy options.\nThe Manager Mauricio provided top notch service and was so friendly and personable. He recommended the plank salmon and rib eye which were outstanding! For dessert we tried a few different donuts which are some of the best we have ever had!\nWe would highly recommend this restaurant and wish you would open in Chicago which is where we live!", "I was more impressed with their dinner than the brunch buffet. I recommend it for food choices and ambiance. Inside and outside seating available.", "My Louie Salad 🥗 was DE LI CI OUS! 😋 The crab meat and shrimp was extremely fresh. I will be returning really soon!", "Farmers Restaurant Group does it again! If you’re visiting DC, I’d recommend stopping by one of their restaurants during your visit. Farmers and distillers is the newest of the bunch and even offers tours of their distillery on the weekend. The service is decent and food is delicious farm to table goodness. I would definitely recommend trying out their spirits in one of their craft cocktails or scorpion bowls that are made to share! Their donuts and sweets are amazing so make plans to stop by for brunch or save room for some delicious treats at the end of your meal.", "Solid menu with plenty of options for everyone, food is always consistently good to great, happy hour has great drink specials! The restaurant is really trying to work with COVID-19 conditions, masking, social distancing and expanded outdoor dining.", "I love this place but not sure if Covid has affected the quality of food and service.\nFood and ambiance is always great. Unfortunately yesterday was not one of them. My friends and I were asked to stand outside in the cold whilst we wait for a table.\nAfter almost 20mins of waiting we got in line for the food. The 3 men serving the buffet were so rude and not welcoming at all. Not sure if it was the color or our skin but the look on their faces made us feel uneasy and we did not go back for more food. On top of that the food was not good at all. French toast was soggy, very oily. Food was just not up to par yesterday.\nLike I said I love this place. Always been my fav. brunch spot but a total disappointment yesterday.", "Normally I would rave about this place but the service this trip was sub-par. Upon arrival for a reservation, we were told that they weren't ready for us. We were told the table was being cleaned however we go seated 45 minutes later and people who checked in after my party got seated before we did. O apologies..nothing. It will be 2022 before I return....if then." ]

The portobello mushrooms appetizer was delicious, and so was everything else. The service matches as well. I wish I could give 100 stars.", "Upon entering, we were greeted by a manager or a supervisor who instructed us to put our name, phone number and email address in the host book. We were curious as to why all that I information was needed. We were told that it was all precautionary measures. We thanked him for his explaining the rules and we were seated. All and all the restaurant was clean and our server was vert friendly and helpful. ❤", "One of my favorite restaurants in the city. The service and food are amazing!", "Our dinner was delicious.

Not disappointed. They service was very attentive and enjoyable. Highly recommend.", "We had salad, appetizers and wine. All were perfectly made and delicious", "The pandemic hasn't stopped me from ordering. I ordered for the second time this past week and the food and service again was fantastic per usual.

The freshness of the seafood was amazing and a pleasant surprise during the entire pandemic.", "Nice pasta and waiters. :)", "I went on a date. It was delicious. And the food was excellent as well. The were maybe three other couples in the restaurant and someone eating at the small, but cozy looking bar. We had broiled scallop appetizer. They were prepared to perfection. The aioli sauce was forgettable. But it didn't ruin the shell fish. I had braised lamb ravioli in aujus of lamb. Pretty heavenly. My date had broiled bronzini. We didn't share. It was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return. I hope they manage to get through the pandemic. A small criticism. No salt at the table and no grated cheese for my pasta. Perhaps I'm not knowledgeable enough about fine dining.", "Small and cozy atmosphere. The staff was very nice and we got our food super fast which by the way was delicious.", "\"I enjoyed the menu very much and the staff were super personal and chatty.\"", "This place blew me away!

I wish I could move to DC from Cincinnati to be able to eat here once a week atleast.", "Such a nice place with the best wait staff. We came in for our anniversary and they gave us free champagne and an anniversary dessert! My fiance gluten free and our server gave us a run down on everything he could have.

Cocktails are also delicious!", "We were in town for the weekend and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent and service was on point also. We liked it so much we went back a second night and loved our dishes just as much. They make their pasta in house so I would recommend a pasta dish. This place is a real gem.", "Was in town for a meeting and was looking for a descent Italian restaurant, this place had one of the best lamb shanks and the greatest soup I've ever had.

Will definitely try to go there again.", "Absolutely delicious food! The service was top notch, and our waiter was both funny and professional.

I had the grilled fish and my colleague had shrimp and a salad. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. They also went out of their way to ensure that my meal was gluten free.

Great place to visit!", "Great find! Took a chance on Tortino restaurant based on the reviews and that is my purpose here. Quaint and unassuming. Was a wonderful experience hands down.

Will definitely be back.", "Only had the meat fish with wine; pasta will be next time. Me and the other half got different dishes and we were both pleasantly satisfied with their creative meat/sauce combination. Robust flavor without being over the top. My lamb flaked off the bone and was incredibly most. A well paired red wine suggested by the host, who both heartily engaged with us and silently refilling our water glass allowing us to have space to ourselves. Over all, this basement Italian is recommended for date night and business.", "Delicious food! Like the duck and scallops.

[ "This place was incredible, from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. The waiter explained a long list of specials from memory, and another server noticed I bumped a utensil off the table and showed up a couple minutes later with a fresh (hot) fork and knife for me (whoops! Guess they saw that one). My gluten free questions were all answered on the spot. Plus, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. Oh, and the food!! Oh my god, the food was so incredible. Perfect proportions and the flavors were out of this world. I had the risotto special (pesto basil with scallops on top) and my mother had the grilled salmon. Both were crazy flavorful and just out of this world.\n\nHighly recommend!!!", "We were in from out of town and we found Tortino Restaurant in Open Table. It was a marvelous dining experience. From the time we walked in until the time we left, everything was enjoyable. The food was devine, my friend had the lamp ravioli and I had the Veal Shank, both outstanding. The signature cocktails were also delicious. I took the tiramisu back to the hotel, my friend got another lamb ravioli to go. I highly recommend Tortino Restaurant!!!", "I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! It's not a trendy, well decorated place, and honestly, that is part of the draw. It's a homey, sparsely decorated place, but the service is awesome and the food is incredible. I got the lamb raviolis and they were paper thin and packed with flavor. My fiance got the risotto of the day. To be honest, the risotto itself was just okay, nothing unbelievable, but whatever meat it was served with was excellent. If you want solid Italian food at prices that won't make you cry, this is the place.", "Amazing, authentic Italian dishes with a delicate balance of flavors. Variety of homemade pastas cooked to perfection. Excellent sauces. Don't be fooled if it looks empty; it wasn't busy when we arrived, but by the time we left, every table was occupied.", "Family like atmosphere, tasty foods. Price is affordable. Lots of local people even located on DC, which is good indicator how this restaurant provides its value.

Even my kids loved it! If you want to eat italian while in D.C. this is the place to go!", "Amazing food, adorable little local location. Upscale vibe and has daily specials that are delicious. Fountain sodas are not free refills, so be aware of that one, which was disappointing. And our waiter didn't tell us all of the correct spcials of the day and after hearing another waiter mention them to a different table we wished would have ordered them. The desserts were delicious looking but I wasn't a fan of 2 of the 3 our table ordered ... but the entrees were seriously delicious.\n\nOther than those things which kinda were a bummer that now I know about, I definitely would go back!", "We had a awesome dinner of authentic Italian food including a pasta sampling as recommended by our waiter Kurt.\nWe started with the scallops (perfection) moved gently thru some penne al nocina , gnocchi with bolognese and risotto topped with short ribs. We finished with the chocolate salami and limoncello!!! Each course was amazing and our waiter was excellent. I am looking for the fig vodka that they use for their fig martini!🥰", "Extremely tasty but service is sub par. Our waiter was lukewarm but didn't check on us.

The food options were great both classic and innovative.", "Excellent service and food. Can't go wrong going their.", "Great food, great suggestions, and good service.

Neat little Italian place, would definitely recommend checking out.", "Excellent Italian food. Try the lamb shank, it is exquisite", "Ok. I am a big fan of this restaurant. Been there several times. Great service, great food. Last night I had an appetizer that was more salad to me. Its feature was crab stuffed peppers, battered and fried. Tremendous. Very light,\n\nI also had the veal with prosciutto special - pounded thin and sautéed. Tremendous. I'll be back. Wonderful hidden gem.", "Came here for a dinner. The food was superb! We had a Lamb Ravioli and New York Strip and both were amazing!\n\nA very minor point of improvement was that I had little less attention than I expected (at least compared to other guests that I observed). But probably because the restaurant was packed. Overall service was okay -and still doesn't deter me from giving 5 stars.\n\nHope that I have a chance of visiting again in the future." ]

They were telling everyone there was a wait, but that WE would be responsible for spotting an open table, it was essentially everyone for themselves in terms of claiming the a table, and they, the people who work there, would not be helping to seat anyone. They said it had something to do with COVID protocols, and I understand restaurants are doing things differently, but I have never heard of a place do this. How hard is it to take a name down? We didn’t stay and probably won’t go back.", "Horrible service. My boyfriend and I were waiting for our waiter Chris for 40 minutes after being seated. The other waiters and bartenders just walked past us as if we didn’t exist, but the table behind us received service. Never again.", "This place is Ahhhmazing! Our bartender “T” (Terrell) has an awesome personality, very attentive, and fast even though they were super busy. Doug was our server after we finished with our drinks at the bar and he actually seemed like he cared about making sure we had a great time, he’s also very cute lol :)!! Would highly recommend this place! We will definitely be coming back here!!", "Excellent food and service! Check out their groupon deal!", "Had the crab cakes cooked to perfection.

Beautiful set up and the Restaurants are established according Covid19 regulations.", "It was okay. Good enough. Nice to sit outside by the water. Nice staff.", "Beautiful view. Food is very basic and over priced for what you get. Basically fast food at a fine restaurant price. Service is not great. Sorry.", "Asked for medium rare steak. It came out cold and well done.

The view was really nice and the staff was attentive. Would recommend.", "The host CATHERINE was EXTREMELY rude. We A\nare regulars and will NEVER come back.

It went a little long and it also really felt like the tipping of dollar bills was just assumed and not for actual tipping for the dancing. It was more like it was expected that everyone have a dollar to give for every performance.\n\nThe organization is terrible. We were supposed to be there at 11am and when we got there at 11:15am (yes we were late), they had only sat like one group so far. Everyone else was standing in the front in a makeshift line and no one really knew where to be. We didn’t get seated until noon and then it was a buffet and bar. You were given a drink ticket but had to go to the bar for the drink and then get your food or vice verse right. The food was okay - eggs, limp bacon, waffles chicken wings, roasted potatoes, salad and fruit. So so.", "Nick's Riverisde Grill was slow on Sunday night, but the service and ambience were fantastic. Very attentive and personable server who was helpful in suggesting appetizers. The music and seating were modern and appealing. The food was mostly very good (the fried calamari appetizer in particular) and Nick's turned out to be a great choice", "Food was overpriced and didn’t taste good. I’ve definitely have had better. the tables outside to the right are like fast food vibes... I cant even tell if the restaurant is supposed to be a little upscale or casual. For the price of the food I didn’t expect the place to give me a sports bar vibe. i feel like there was barely any effort put into food or atmosphere/interior design. I had higher expectations since it’s on the waterfront, but ended up still hungry and super disappointed since I wanted a good meal", "A quiet lunchtime on a wet walk along the Potomac was much improved by a lovely visit to Nick's. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was beautifully presented and very tasty with very fresh seafood. Highly recommended.", "Steamed mussels & crab cake sandwich was really good !" ]

I found the furniture to be worn and a bit dirty from the elements, we had a charcuterie board, it had 3 different types of meat slices and a boiled egg. I wouldn't get it again, it was around $20 and the portion was small and I didn't really like 2 of the meats. Had a side of fries that were good. No complaints about the drinks other than the speed of delivery, the service was OK, but my beer was empty for a good 10 minutes.", "Good section of outside seating. Can get busy quick. If recommend going to the bar for drinks since waiters get busy quick. Food was delicious!", "A decent spot with a fantastic location, good service, and decent food. Nick's is right next to the Georgetown Waterfront, which gives it a phenomenal view and makes it a great place to enjoy a simple meal on a day with good weather. The food itself is fine, but lackluster and there really isn't anything all that special. The prices are steep, and I understand that the Waterfront is prime real estate, but I was really expecting more out of their menu.", "Fun vibe. Went to Halloween party here and it was great.", "Very dissatisfied with the service and the attitude of the waiter as well as supposedly the “owner” of the restaurant. Very unprofessional and rude. Also there was a bad smell similar to garbage can, most likely coming from the area they put dirty dishes in and not clean them up right away. Will not be coming back, I’d rather go spend my money somewhere else and enjoy the experience.", "While visiting the family for a Sunday, we decided to have lunch in front of the river, and have a good time together. After reading the menu, we decided to have lunch here ( Nick’s riverside grill). We informed the hostess that we were 5 people, after we settled on a table of 4, we informed her that it is small and we cannot have lunch at 5 on a table of 4 people We kindly asked her to put another table, to our surprise she barely kicked us out of the restaurant, in a rude and vulgar way! There are more polite ways to tell customers that this is not possible! So after we left, i called and ask to speak with a manager. He asked me who was she, I informed him about the situation and he said he will take care of it immediately. I hope this will be done (I personally doubt it). It is unfortunate for a restaurant of this importance to manage customers very badly just because they are well placed and they do not have a customer problem. It's really a shame ...", "Although the view is nice from here and the staff are friendly, the food here is nothing more than overpriced bar food. If you go, save yourself some money and don't add the $18 crab cake to your meal. You will be sorely disapointed. Go to Farmers on the other side of the fountain even if you have to wait.", "Visited this place with a friend for the first time. We arrived a little before 2pm (Sunday). We ordered food and drinks which were a bit overpriced. A couple came in and were seated next to us. They had a different waitress who provided them with a brunch menu. Brunch ended at 3. No clue why our waitress didn’t give us that menu or even mention brunch was an option. Our waitress was not attentive at all but she kept coming back to a table of men right next to us. We had to ask for water, most restaurants give you that when you sit down. The food was okay but not great. It’s not likely we will return anytime soon.", "Dropped in here after a boat tour. Had little to no expectations except to have a casual meal with my family. Every small change we requested on a menu item was met with a \"No\" or an unreasonable up-charge.\n\n1. Can you put chicken in this dish instead of shrimp? \"Yes, but it will cost you $6 extra\" (makes no sense considering chicken is cheaper than shrimp).\n2. Can I have tater tots instead of fries? Answer was no (here is where I would have expected an up-charge but got a flat out no).\n3. Can I have a straw? \"No, we don't have any\". (I understand phasing out the use of plastic straws for the environment but paper straws would pose no hazard).\n\nTo add insult to injury:\n\n1. Ordered iced tea. Had two glasses. Both of them arrived with little to no ice cubes left because the tea was so hot.\n2. The food took forever to arrive.\n3. My burger was hard as a rock and over cooked (not medium-well like I requested)\n4. Found a long hair in my food. Waitress offered to get another sandwich but we had already waited so long for our food I didn't want to do that to my family. Waitress should have offered to take something off of bill or give a free dessert.\n5. Sat around for about 10 minutes waiting for waitress to run credit card. Please note: the place was not busy at all.\n\nBottom line, I would not go back. Real waste of space in such a great location.", "Extremely rude staff... living in Dc for over 6 I’ve never ever encountered more unprofessional treatment in my life. Absolutely preposterous!!! One of the staff took my friends’ beers by mistake when the two of them went out for a smoke, when they came back they asked for their beers and they falsely and rudely accused them of lying about the amount of beers (having two beers instead of one at the bar.) It’s just a beer why would we lie about it when we have already ordered a bunch of beers and food. I have never ever encountered a manager who would step in to say that a customer is lying (about one beer!) Then escort my friends out of the bar!!! It was extreme! Someone has gotta stop this horrible customer service!!!", "Food DRY and unflavored. Charged more than what was listed on the menu. Waitress stated that I had an old menu...EVERYONE had the same exact menu that I had. Seated at the back of the restaurant and forgotten. Waitress sucked. Assumed myself and everyone else at the table wanted water, didn't ask us what we wanted to drink. $60 wasted. Never coming back.", "Nice place. The scenery and ambiance was better than the food, but the food was still pretty good. Had the nachos and they were kind of weird. More chilli with chips than nachos. Good, but deff not what you expect when you order beef nachos.", "Beautiful views. Always a good time. TVs inside and out for sports. Lots of seating. Good food. Friendly staff and bartenders. Drinks are a bit pricey. A great place to go during all types of weather.", "Great location with a view of the river. Had an issue with the hostess that annoyed me. Was told a 5 minute wait for a table outside under shade, then she tried to push a table in the sun on us. When I asked what happened to the table you were cleaning for us, she stated they were taken now and that the wait is 30 minutes...huh? I went straight to the manager and was seated in the original seats we were promised promptly. I don't know what games our hostess was playing but it definitely messed the mood up for the rest of our time here. Food could be a lot better here also, I think they are known more for their drinks.", "View of the river is excellent and good food. Fun restaurant on g-town waterfront. Nick joined us for dinner as well.", "Blah. Mediocre", "Nice but casual spot in the Georgetown waterfront area. Great outdoor seating and plenty of indoor as well if you prefer.

Reasonable prices, fairly quick and friendly service keeps me returning.", "Horrible. Food tastes awful. Owner is rude. Never going back.", "Fun place to eat right on the water.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place to indulge for a special occasion.", "Haven't been here since before the pandemic, but hoping to go back after we get vaccinated.

Great restaurant in the Georgetown area. Definitely recommend it.", "Fabulous. Food is amazing. Ambiance is great. Staff is perfection. Entire wall of windows looks out on the river. Happy sigh.", "Top-notch service and wonderful surprises on our wedding anniversary. The appetizers were creative and flavorful. The main dish, a branzino with mussels and clams, was salty and unremarkable in terms of both flavor and texture. Too much salt and fat in the side dishes, making them too heavy for their purpose. I'd like to try the chef's other restaurant but will probably not return to this one.", "The Igloo dining was a great experience. My family felt very safe throughout the meal because everyone was very careful about following the social distancing guidelines. The Igloo was setup very tastefully, and comfortably. We were right beside the river, And service and food were excellent. Great experience throughout.", "As always, a wonderful atmosphere.

Raw Hamachi cooked with citric juice, citrus blossoms and Thai basil. Also, we really enjoyed the calamari. Delicious seasoning and flavour.\n\nThe Amazónica cocktails look nice but they were too sweet. The charm of a mezcal drink is it’s smokiness and wooden, sometimes earthy flavour, no need to turn it into a piña colada. We couldn’t help but laugh for paying $9 for a bottle of water 😅😂\n\nWe had a great time. The service is splendid.", "The best ever! We celebrated an anniversary here and everything was very nice! The staff was awesome and the food was incredible! I will return!💜💜💜💜", "One of my favorite restaurants in Georgetown.

Their attention to detail is duly noted every single visit and I love to indulge in dessert after our meals.", "I have been to this restaurant many times due to its quality of service, the superb seafood dishes, and the perfect Potomac River view ambiance. It is easily one of the best restaurants in DC metro area.", "The best birthday dinner I've ever had. Everything was a 10/10: from the amazing food, the wonderful service, the gorgeous Potomac river views, the atmosphere. We ordered the Burrata (which had a fun surprise table-side component), Jumbo lump crab avocado (my husband is obsessed now), asparagus, spinach, Branzino, and lobster. And goat cheese custard and gelato for dessert. Seriously cannot pick a favorite, I would order all of it again. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. We sat on the upper level patio and it felt so safe and very comfortable, like an incredible dreamy staycation especially as the sunset started peaking. Highly recommend!!!", "I thought the food,staff and venue were great for a special occasion", "Best food that's not only flavorful, but prepared for presentation. Exquisite service and wait staff.", "Food is phenomenal! Its pricey but you get outstanding food. The wine list is extensive.

We will still come back and enjoy great food near the Georgetown Waterfront!", "On today, October 30, 2020, my boyfriend and I were racially profiled at the restaurant. We spent well over 150 dollars on our meals. We had ordered our meals to go, however due to the heavy traffic that we experienced and the traffic that we would face on our way back home (rush hour). For context, we drove 45 minutes. My boyfriend and I patiently explained our situation and the two hostesses, who provided us with seating in a private area of the restaurant (likely because we were underdressed — which is fine). For additional context, it was about 40 something degrees and we were dressed in sweatpants and layered clothing. About 10 minutes after being seated, we were asked to leave with no explanation. When we questioned the staff, we were told that the restaurant “doesn’t do that.” We requested to speak to the owner of the establishment — a woman who we’ve met on MULTIPLE occasions — and she turned us away. We feel that she turned us away because of the color of our skin, period. I love the food here but it’s 2020 and a change must be done.", "We normally had lovely experiences at Fiola Mare, but an early dinner last week left me sick during the night, until throwing up, making us wonder about the freshness of the ahi tuna crudo.

[ "I brought my girlfriend here to celebrate one year together and wanted it to be special. I requested a view of the water in the main dining tea and we were immediately brought to a back room with no windows. We then asked to change where we were sitting because it’s not what we requested previously in our reservation. They gladly moved us and we ordered some drinks and then ordered our entrees. We ordered the truffle rosemary pasta and it was bland and had no true flavor to it. For an 85$ dish you would expect something pretty special and it fell flat. We did not finish it and the manager asked what was wrong and we told him it was bland. The chef even tried it and said it was bland. We had the salt crusted branzino and that was amazing. The waitress was great and we ordered dessert and got our check. They gave us three desserts to make up for the poor pasta dish and then I see a $10 charge for water.

Was not clear on website about a small menu before dinner time. But, they worked with us and we had a great meal.", "The fact that people say this is one of the nicest restaurants in Georgetown, really worries me. I paid $85 per person for their all inclusive brunch. They up-charged me on almost everything I ordered, it would’ve been less expensive to not go with the all inclusive. The charged me an extra $12 for chocolate cake for crying out loud! My check was $400 for 3 people and they served me a hunk of goat cheese with frozen grass on it and wasn’t pleased with anything I ordered nor were my friends who I was treating. This place is nothing short of a kitchen nightmares episode and I highly recommend going to another spot. Went to a cafe after to have some coffee and had better service and quality by far!\n\nPlease do yourself a favor and avoid this place. I’ve never posted a bad review IN MY LIFE, but this was just sad.", "I am from out of town and The hostess never made us aware of the ‘new law’ which requires you to order a meal to legally stay at the restaurant...I guess a $35, 6oz glass of wine doesn’t count. We ordered a side dish which was $12 on the menu but ended up being $15 (before tax) on the bill. This is not so much about the price, but the principle of the situation.", "We went there with my husband to celebrate our first official outing after the shutdown.\n\nWe were seated in the upper outside section overlooking the water. Honestly, this could not have been a more perfect meal. The weather wasn't too hot. The table was big and the seating comfortable.

Even the simple black coffee at the end was delicious. It's a real dining experience and well worth the trip and the price.\n\nThe service was spectacular (and in terms of the covid concerns everything is clean and spotless and distanced).\n\nThank you Fiola team!

Very nice after eating the rich cheese.\n\nAnyway, this was a very nice meal!", "When your husband tries to make a romantic reservation in the middle of covid and asks for outside to protect his unborn child (6 months pregnant) and you get dressed up and wait over an hour to be seated it is not amusing. When explaining not that I needed to my obvious pregnant belly and hearing everyone has an exception older folks etc is appalling.

Our waiter was Melvin and he was very friendly and attentive.", "Although service and atmosphere was great, food was mediocre. Especially given the price. The complimentary bread served prior to the meal was undercooked. The Pizza Bianca was very bland and essentially tasted like low quality cheese bread. Their website indicated that they would have happy hour, however that wasn't the case. False advertisement!", "Great place for pizza if you like the really thin style pizza a lot of people come around here so it's interesting to try and find out who they are and what they do by playing the game \"what do you think he's thinking of right now\".\nThey have some outside heaters but those are not enough to keep you really warm when it gets cold outside. And they also have these bubbles that ensure nobody will come into your personal space except the waiter and also that only depends if you ordered something or not... Don't expect this place to be cheap it is pricey as hell maybe a little pricier. Actually there are more pricey places than this but it still $20 for a single meal\n(please hit the like if this review was good)", "AMAZING food!! The ricotta gnocchi is the BEST I’ve ever had!

And our waiter and wait staff were excellent!", "As another reviewer noted, your experience right now is going to be pretty dependent on the weather, but it was great today, and the food matched the perfect ambiance. Out of the three Italian restaurants in this neck of Georgetown, Flavio's has to stand alone. My parents and I all greatly enjoyed it - to the point that we'll make it a point to come back again soon.", "It's a good thing they give you cloth napkins with your silverware -- you'll need them to wipe the sweat off your forehead. It was 85 degrees inside the restaurant with the windows closed. No exaggeration: That's what the thermostat said. It was actually cooler outside by time we left. The food is great and the service is average, but don't come unless you enjoy leaving a restaurant sweaty.", "Help very pleasant but not attentive. Interior smells stale and unclean.\nCalamari not fresh, smelled fishy. Lemon dried out. Pasta Arrabita tasty, but only three pathetically small shrimp, extremely poor value. Utensils dirty.

The host staff is incompetent (walk ins got seated first before reservations).", "Good food friendly place to eat", "Food was good, service was good and was also subtlety greeted by Hamza. Seemed pretty crowded considering (COVID). Also, noticed that the other owner, Mekki, was smushing face with a girl (assuming she is a bartender) behind the bar. Not my business, but a bit unprofessional (Some seemed to mind) lol. Don’t think it matters since none of management really responds to any of the reviews anyway. Overall, pretty entertaining and yummy food.\n👌", "A really bad experience! I don't usually write long reviews, but I feel like I have to.\n\nNot sure if the waiter was new to the job or what, but the service was really bad. The waiter could not even answer basic questions on the drinks menu. He kept interrupting us asking if we wanted to order more; he must have come up to our table at least 5 times. It was a Saturday night at 10pm, the place was half empty, and we had clearly asked if it was ok to just get drinks, so there was no reason keep pressuring us to place more orders. To top it off, while filling the glasses he poured lots of water all over the table, and did not apologize, he just pretended nothing happened.\nAnother person (the owner? a more experienced waiter? who knows?) asked us if we wanted the bill, and again it felt like we were being rushed to leave.\n\nFelt really unwelcome here. Somehow they turned a chill Saturday night drink into a very unpleasant experience.", "The food is good but the service isn't that good. The stairs to the restrooms are narrow and dark. Also, the staff is kind of slow in service.", "Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Place has a very nice atmosphere. Food and drinks are good at decent price. Plenty of vegetarian options. Our waiter forgot a few things at first but he was very nice.", "What an unexpected find! So Flavio is next to the pedestrian bridge on 31st Street. The street has construction at the canal but the restaurant is easily accessible from M Street. And it’s worth it! You’re welcomed at the door like an old friend even if the warm free pizza didn’t entice you alone. Inside there is a funky beat with the music and an open floor plan with plenty of seating for large groups. Now to the food: simply don’t miss the Margarita Pizza. Now the Flavio pizza is also good but their standard Margarita is heaven. Couple this with a good Chianti and their Ceasar salad and you are set. Definitely set to return next time in Georgetown!", "Not worth it, not going to lie.... 45$ for thanksgiving package that was terrible and barely finished the food", "This place was amazing!! Food was delectable, drinks were smooth, and service was impeccable!! They even separated a dish shared by two. Old school Italian, but with a modern flair!! Definitely worth a return visit!!", "Fantastic flavors: eggplant the best I have ever tasted. Ricotta gnocchi had guest sauce and flavor that I wrongly thought chef couldn't top this dish. He did though with the lamp shank. This had the \"old world flavor that only time and love can produce. Service was friendly & fun. If I could have given more than a 5 star rating this place chef people deserved more!", "People were friendly.food was tasty. To brenzeno fish dish was cooked perfectly. The side of pasta was okay A little flat on the sauce. But overall a good deal for the money. The house Chianti was tasty at $6 a glass. I go back next time I was in Georgetown", "it was pretty good food, not fantastic but good...atmosphere was different 🙃", "A rocky start but an extremely strong finish. Arrived a bit early. Booked through open table but reservation didn’t exist. So they seated our party of 7 anyway, kinda quickly, at a really nice round table overlooking the dining room and one of the restaurant managers or owners came over and asked us if we would be finished eating within an hour? It was an odd question having just been sat, so my response was, well I don’t know-how long will it take the server to take orders and the kitchen to get the food out and I don’t know how many courses we’re going to order we just sat down. He responded that a party was coming in and he needed that table. I responded by saying that I really didn’t want to be rushed through my meal so maybe it is better to sit at a different table and so they moved us to a rectangle table that I had one side facing wall and other side was booth like. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. Everyone in the party enjoyed their dishes. This was a work meal so in my open table reservation I had noted that we would need separate checks so when the server brought the check and said he couldn’t divide it I was calm but I little upset. Made sense because even though I had the confirmation email they didn’t have the information. The hostess cane up as we were strategizing what to do and had this GREAT attitude. She ran 4 of our cards as that seemed to be the fastest exit, and then she had already remade my reservation in open table so I would get the points. She deserves a promotion or at least a bonus. The food was great but I will return because of her and her swift and positive attention to making sure we had a great experience." ]

This place gets busy around 7:30ish, but even then it's still manageable.", "I went on a busy Friday night and was able to be say with no wait! The my friend and I both loved the mushroom ravioli! The atmosphere is cozy and modern. You could easily sit there for hours and not even realize it.", "Last night I had an awful dining experience at this place. Our waiter consistently messed up our orders around the table. The food was awful. I assumed that if you’re paying $14-$16 for a pizza you will get higher quality pizza and I have honestly had better frozen pizza at home.\nThe waiter didn’t bring out 3 items from our order. When someone in our party asked for a whiskey sour, the waiter went to the bartender and asked for a whiskey salad..... what?\nOverall, it was a terrible experience and I expected more from dining here. Will not be coming back.", "Their food is amazing and I would give them 5 stars if they answered their phone. Today, I called for the last hour to place a to go order and no answer. It's a shame and if they do not accept to go orders they should say so on their website.", "Loved the ambience and for the fact that it was Christmas Eve, it was busy and they kept the service good the maitre’d ( I think) checked on us a couple of times when things were slow and I thought that was a good gesture.\nThe mushroom ravioli was bland but everything else was good! Plenty vegetarian choices. Good place tucked into Georgetown", "Food was good. Atmosphere was nice at first, but started sounding a little like a night club. Service was great. Go a little early and shouldn't have too much of a \"bar\" feel.", "Food was ok, I have eaten better for less. Automatic tip is against my police, but accepted. On the other hand another costumer that was with me didn’t. They made the worst mess i have seen in my life. They charged me 3 times and were supposed to cancel the other 2 but cancelled one only even after i showed that the 2 receipts of cancellation were a copy of the other. The manager tried to show me on the system but was unable to show me the cancelled operation, was showing just the last operation. By the end she guaranteed me repeating at least 3 times that there is just one charge, even after showing the 2 pending operation on my bank account. Now I have 2 effective charges on my bank account and need to go after my money. I will edit my post after the end of this story.", "The worst service ever, everything wasn’t clean. We called the waiter three times to change the cups.", "Not good. Not horrible, but not good. Fun vibe, decent service. Food is fair at best.

The drinks were especially terrible and my favorite (the Kingbird Manhattan) was watery and tasteless. The food was ok, but not the best we have had here. I must add though that the service was excellent and Jamie did a wonderful job in accommodating our needs and time limit. That is the only reason this is a two-star review, otherwise I would have given 1 star for all the alcohol infused water we bought for 24 Dollars a glass!\nFormer review (January 19, 2020): We have been here several times for dinner and this time we visited for Sunday brunch buffet. It was an excellent experience and we enjoyed the quality food, the bottomless drinks and the service.

The server took forever to come to our table. When he finally came, he didn’t even greet us, he just asked what we wanted to order. We didn’t even have a menu. Our food took over an hour. The server never came back to see if we wanted for drinks or anything. After we finally got our food, we asked for our check 5 times. No one seemed to care.

She was gracious and took his meal off of the ticket. I like when they are attentive to the patrons in this way. Now, I, on the other hand, enjoyed my Salmon, fresh arugula salad with shaved parmesan and light oil, along side my delicious Broccoli, seasoned and dried just enough to melt in my mouth. The Lavendar Creme Brulee was good but it was not great. Nonetheless, still quite delightful. The maitre d' was attentive enough, ensuring our food got to us right away. It was a quiet dinner experience in a clean and uncrowded atmosphere right before the evening show at the Kennedy Center. That was enjoyable enough as well.\nI would probably not visit this place too often only because the menu is not all that dazzling. It's actually kind of boring.

Comfortable space easy for conversation, but don't eat here if you are on a tight schedule. It takes a while to get served, etc.", "Always a pleasure when visiting Thunder Grill.

Check it out!", "We ate here twice during the last trip to D.C.\n\nService is excellent, attentive, pleasant and precise.\n\nFood was wonderful.

We will be back..", "Wait staff in the front were 100 percent inattentive. Had almost no customers and chose to hang out with each other rather than pay attention to the 2 tables inside. When the server came to my table after we sat there for over 10 minutes she told my daughter to wait before asking for anything so she could deliver water and go leave and so something else. After waiting for 30 minutes to have check picked up I went inside to the bar and the bar staff came out to the front and asked them to take check.", "Good, not great, excellent staff, adequate meals, Union Station setting is the standout part.", "Thunder grill has some really good dishes. OH MY GOD the coconut shrimp is fantastic.", "From the Hostess to the Server we had a great experience for our party of 6 looking to have a nice lunch between touring the city. Very impressed with all of the options within Union Station. Several of our party came back to Thunder Grill again and again. The Service was excellent as was the food and of course Beer!!!", "Quiet place to catch a bite before jumping on a train. Food was excellent and portions were generous. A hidden gem in the heart of DC!", "Had the ceviche which was delicious and the shrimp and steak bowl,I also very tasty. White sangria was fantastic", "Nice space. Great bar service!", "Stopped by after a long day touring DC for a quick dinner. Would not recommend. Sub-par food and service. Might as well walk down the street for some local food.", "I've eaten there a couple of times, always very busy but quick considering the crowd. The Shake Stack is a very tasty burger, the mushroom adding crunch and umami - small but delicious. French fries i should avoid but before i know it they are gone, crunchy on the outside and meaty on the inside. Union Station is hustle and bustle, plenty to watch while you eat but not the place for a conversation." ]

Very busy during lunch time, but the staff handles it well.", "Great food. Quiet place for conversation at lunch. Extremely convenient to trains, metro, buses as well as the Capitol.", "Inventive bar food plus reliable burgers and fries if that is all you're looking for, with attentive friendly service, especially at the bar (the bartender knows you after a couple visits). Quite a good selection of salads and appetizers that update on a fairly regular basis. If you are passing through Union Station it is one of your best lunch or dinner options compared to the chains that dominate the rest of the space.", "Good food, not outstanding, good location", "Staff is Amazing! Food and drinks are awesome a welcome addition to the day.", "Great experience because their staff know what they're doing when it comes to taking care of you.", "Nice spot in Union Station. Nice Southwestern menu and great service! A regular spot to dine if your heading to Union Station.", "Food was pretty lousy. Shared a appetizer (fried mac n cherse) with a friend, which was just ok, but not awful. We each got an entree and neither of us enjoyed any of what we ordered. Side of spinach was actually quite repulsive and made me nauseous. We ate what we could stomach, paid, and left. Immediately went elsewhere to eat, as we couldn't finish the food at Thunder Grill. DC is home to some absolutely amazing restaurants - many right by Union Station. Would not return to Thunder Grill and would recommend anyone at Union Station to step out into DC and find much better food elsewhere.", "Thunder grill is about the finest dining to be had in Union Station, but it's still casual. Typical American fare, burgers and fries, salads, etc. It has a few vegetarian options. Service is usually good. Parking on street a few blocks away or in the Union Station garage, which offers a discount for the first 2 hours with validation using the machine by the doors to the garage.", "The staff was very friendly and had a very beautiful ambiance. This restaurant is to the right when you enter Union station in Washington DC ...perfect for dinner and drinks before hopping on the train:)", "Great place, cool and casual atmosphere. Roy & Robert are hysterical and try to make every guest comfortable and enjoy their stay with them. Food was delicious - best enchiladas I've ever had and the pecan pie alone is worth a visit. I'll be sure to return when my travels have me passing through DC.", "Salmon tacos were very good... service was prompt and friendly.", "This is a nice restaurant just inside the main entrance to Union Station. The food style is tex-mex. Free prices are fine for downtown DC, but the booths are cramped, and need to be re padded. The food and drinks are good, so it's a nice place to pass the time while waiting for your train, or catching up with old friends.", "Location is great however, I think the menu is underwhelming.

There was also plenty of sanitizer as well.", "Covid protections are noble/efficient\nGreat place to take the family or for a romantic date.\nGood food around the corner, as well as starbucks, mcdonalds...\nPublic parking for 10$ an hr in a garage. (Very snug, be prepared for tuna can parking i suggest backing into your spot so u dont get trapped)\nOnce we arrived it looked as tho, parking may be purchased with tickets. They suggest u purchase your museum ticket online before you enter, but you Do Not have to.\nMy senior parents dont carry their mobile. So the staff allowed them to purchase tickets on site. Just be firm you dont have a cellular device.\nWonderful, inspiring, clean, dignified, polite staff, peaceful.\nIt took us about 2 hours to see the entire museum. And i read every plaque.", "I loved it!!! I enjoyed it way too much and at my own pace since I was lucky it was a slow day. And the art custodians excelled in their job giving information and being very kind.\n\nOnly critique I can give is that there should be more items in the shop that promote the actual museum. I could only find one sticker that said the name of the museum, a cup and a thermal. I really wish they had at least pins, keychains and tshirts of the place. I was pretty dissapointed in that part -so 1 star less from perfect-", "Beautiful in every way. Do take a guided tour. Informative and enlightening", "Been here a couple of time. Small but powerful museum of woman in the arts. And not just paintings. One exhibit, when I was there a LONG time ago, was about silver smiths. Friendly staff and, if I remember right, not very busy.", "Love the focus. So many amazing artists displayed across 4 floors.", "Museum is beautiful. I do find irony in a museum celebrating the accomplishments of women, that has no changing tables in the bathroom. Especially since women are typically the ones caring for infants. I put my daughter's blanket on the floor of the bathroom and changed her on that.\n\nStaff is wonderful and friendly.", "Amazing collection of art and art installations. The staff is incredibly helpful and excited to talk about the works here. There are guided tours and you can also go self-paced. The collection rotates regularly so your next visit may be different from your last.", "I didn't even know this place existed! I'm glad went to see it. Very nice selection of permanent exhibition, as well as the special exhibition. Definitely recommend!", "A bit on the smaller side, but lots of amazing works by the some of best women of our time (and before). Certainly wasn't expecting an original Frida Kahlo!

Small enough for a couple of hours", "Great gallery, recommend to reserve your visit time online.", "Always a delight. I have been member for two years now and I am consistently impressed by the level of programming. I highly recommend the membership even if you can only attend two events a year it will be worth it. They are have several free weekends a year. I also think this museum has the best gift shop in the city. I've renewed my membership for another year.", "Wonderful and great exhibitions.", "Amazing exhibitions... Enjoyed myself immensely", "The museum itself is lovely and the displays are amazing, but the docent we got seemed to know nothing about the exhibit. Several times she gave information that was directly contradicted by the information plaque next to the piece, and often resorted to \"how does this piece make you feel\" instead of giving details. Worthwhile, as long as you self-guide.", "Very beautifully decorated museum close to Metro Center. Love the concept of this museum — highlighting the works of women specifically. The ground floor of the museum is so gorgeous! I think you can even rent the space for a wedding venue. I had the opportunity to see the “Contour of Feeling” exhibit during its last week. Very incredible sculptures! Staff was super friendly too. Will definitely be back for its other upcoming installments. Also, the museum shop is a great place to buy feminist related gifts.", "It was a very inspiring experience. The place is quite small, you can visit in about 1 hour, but worth every second with an amazing atmosphere and incredible art pieces. All very nicely curated from wonderful women.", "I wanted this to be more. I wanted the art to be arranged in a more clearly thoughtful way—either by medium or by time period or something. I wanted the descriptions to be more meaningful and edifying. Two artists whose works were near each other were described as “meticulously crafting” their work. I think that should almost go without saying when describing artists featured in a museum.", "One of my favorite museum around D.C.\nI have few friends studying design as major, they love to go and look at the arts. we have been there 3 times already, still love to go there one more thing in the future. helpful staff. Awesome atmosphere!", "While I love the concept, the execution is not great. There is no rhyme or reason to the layout of the displays. There are a few standout pieces, but the exhibits are too sparse and inconsistent to make it feel like a cohesive or even thought-provoking experience.", "Great collection of works by female artists. Descriptive placards and thoughtful arrangement of the artwork makes this a great place to visit. Calm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The first Sunday of every month is free admission!", "I'm torn between 3-4 stars. My lady loves art, so we visit quite a few art museums a year. Besides being dedicated to women, I didn't feel that this particular museum was anything special. Honestly, we both asked each other if \"that was it\" at the end of our stroll. The museum just isn't that large.", "What a wonderful experience. I will definitely come back. Even the security folks had historical facts on the pieces! Wow", "This museum is so beautiful. It definitely needs more art! I hope that they can also consider local powerful women artist who are doing spectacular work. especially woman of color and of all ethnicity. I saw little representation of Latin women.", "Absolutely friendly staff! The lady at the front door might be the most friendly staff I have ever met! I took one star off because it is not a public museum and it costs $10 among all the fabulous public museums in DC.", "Collection is small, but high quality and diverse, with several works I'm always happy to revisit. Some wonderful eye- opening exhibits too. Staff friendly and helpful.", "Small museum with a gift shop. It has beautiful interior craftsmanship on ceilings, walls, staircases. The exhibits were all enjoyable and like most museums in DC, some background information and /or explanations were provided in each room which makes visiting more enjoyable.", "Beautiful art and interior, but had the RUDEST man at the ticket checking station", "Beautiful building. The artwork varies by time period and medium. Tied together themes not mediums. Really enjoyed. Roger, Mr. Security, if your reading this call me.", "What a cool museum. We came across it by accident while visiting the National Building Museum for the Smithsonian Craft Show. I don't think it's heavily advertised. Beautiful old building that used to be (ironically) a Masonic Lodge, that now houses a wide variety of art by women you probably know and women you almost certainly don't know. They also have event space, and it's a very nice venue, though not that big. Highly recommended!", "Judy Chicago...dont miss. 15 more days til exhibit closes. Community Day is generous act for the community by this museum", "This is a wonderful showcase of women artists and their works. Works in the permanent collection are periodically switched out. Special exhibits are in place from a month to 3 or 4 months. a small but well curated gift shop is open during museum hours. There is a research library concentrating on women artists. First Sunday is free of charge and they host other open events to meet artists, sample art works, and experience your own creative leanings.", "This is a breathtaking venue with great works. Absolutely love that Frida gets some love here. Will definitely be back." ]

[ "There's only one precious picture by Frida Kahlo, all the rest is strange", "I have to say that while this is actually a fine art gallery with many great pieces that have every right to be featured in museums my lower rating is mostly for some things that may not matter to everyone. First, unfortunately this gallery is quite a bit away from almost any other museum in DC so you have to make your way pretty far out of the loop to go here which is a big detractor. The space itself is very interesting and it is a large multilevel gallery. They appear to have regularly rotating exhibits in some areas which I appreciate but I also noted that a shocking number of their pieces for better or worse are on loan from the private collection of a wealthy DC lobbyist. I guess that's Washington for you... I also found it odd that many placards for artists described their general art style which was a nice addition but the pieces featured quite often did not conform to that style which was odd. Compared to other galleries I've visited the price was more than fair considering the amount of pieces. The collection also covered female artists from at least the last 500 years right up to very recent pieces which was good. Overall just a lot of the type of art I don't really enjoy that much.", "Really cool museum near Chinatown. They had a Kahlo obviously but it was hardly the highlight as there's a lot of really incredible art here. Little bag check at the door hardly held me up and they offer a military discount on admission. There was an exhibit open for Delita Martin that I loooved and would highly recommend. Went on a Saturday at mid day and didn't run into many people at all.", "I went for a work event, but the building is gorgeous! The event staff were professional and efficient. The food and drink were good and stocked", "Just love the vibes. Amazing collection. Different from all other museums. Great to know more about female artists.", "You got to see this. I was surprised by the unique elements of diversity and to find out this is just the unknown angle of possibilities.", "Can you name five women artists? If not, come here and learn something. Very nice building, fun gift shop, fabulous art!", "The museum is great! I love the concept and everything it stands for! It is kind of small so when I went my second time the only new pieces of work I saw were part of their temporary exhibit. The staff were very helpful though providing details of the piece and their interpretations which I liked! Would go again when they open a new exhibit. :)", "Museum devoted to female art, with 3,000-plus works by the likes of Frida Kahlo & Mary Cassatt.", "Magnificent collection and glorious building!", "This is a beautiful place to visit and spend a few hours. Easy walk north of metro center (about two blocks). Tickets are usually $10 but the first Sunday of the month is free (you can donate whatever you feel comfortable with, but no obligation). There is a coat closet open for general use, so don't leave anything valuable in your pockets. There is an elevator in addition to the stairs. Some spots can get a little tight on a busy day but it's easy to move around and see everything. Definitely a good spot to spend 2 or so hours while in DC. The cafe is not open on the weekends.", "A very interesting collection devoted to woman plastic artists of all times. The hall is amazing. The exposed collection is not so large, but gives a good tour through the women's painting history.", "I really enjoy art, and so seeing specifically women's art in one place was something I hadn't experienced before. Many exhibits capture women at their most vulnerable and explain the plight of womanhood.", "When I arrived I was advised to start at the 3rd floor to view the collection highlights; a very good piece of advice. Wonderful art with fabulous variety, and great themed descriptions of particular concepts within each room. The individual pieces had descriptions that ranged between interpretive and descriptive, and could be way too long or barely more than a name and the medium used. To me the flow of each floor, how movement read directed from piece to piece was very rough and ruined some of the experience for me. The collection far outshines any imperfection in the display.", "There were many nice pieces of art. I loved the gift shop. Have to come back when I have more time.", "Their collection is amazing. It is so refreshing to see so many works of female artists at the museum. A must see in Washington!", "Beautiful museum with so many amazing female artists! Everything was made by females down to the benches in the museum. There’s a wonderful woman at the front desk with so much knowledge about the museum and DC! Look for Olga!", "Great art! I really enjoyed the galleries that are displayed here.", "Mind blowing art that moved my soul. I'd like to see it again with my daughter who is an artist.", "A small yet opulent museum dedicated showing works by female artists. The collection is exhibited thematically in different galleries. The works are fantastic and the themes are thought provoking. Easy seen on about an hour to an hour and a half and well worth the $10 admission price." ]

[ "The expanded areas are very nice these days for being outdoors –highly recommend as a way to get exercise. Inside, the red carpet and chandeliers feel grand. When they have events again, the upstairs has “club” events late at night, like a lounge. Unfortunately, most of the auditorium seats are tight, like other theaters. The weakest links are the downstairs bathrooms, which are old and take away from the red carpet feel. Tip: Park elsewhere if you can because there's often a line in the garage to exit. Enjoy your experience!!", "So much more than a performing arts venue. I highly recommend signing up for one of their free tours once they start offering them again. It was cool to hear the history behind each stage.", "This place sets the standard. Every event and performance here has been stellar. You will leave inspired.", "Whether you're looking to go to a small experimental show or take in some of the biggest productions around, the Kennedy Center has what you're looking for.

Then come back again to visit \"The Reach,\" a lush campus filled with art, flowers and plenty of space for a relaxing picnic.", "Lovely place. There are concerts held every day almost. The ticket price varies but there is one free concert for public at around 5:30 pm EST everyday. Check on internet before you go. I attended one \"The Italian Band\" and it was amazing. The ambience , the atmosphere, the Kenedy center is next to Potomac river so view of river and Georgetown waterfront is mesmerizing. But concert is really nice one should attend and especially when you get a chance to check it out for free.", "excellent service,very good food.", "Beautiful! The art, the lights, the flags, the culture amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. We saw the free dance performances on the Millennium stage and then noticed Alvin Ailey Dance was performing, got impromptu tickets in the balcony level! The attendant at the box office was right...the seats, Tier 2 on the side were just fine. Excellent performance by Ailey with Revelations on the program! Wins!", "What can I say about this place other than, it’s an incredible place to get to go to! If you get the chance to go to a show here, don’t hesitate! They only put on shows that are of the highest rating so you know you’re in for a good one. The restrooms are state of the art and the security is amazing too. Consider looking for their next show here and buying a ticket!", "Very amazing place. I have come here now for two different shows. I came to see Maxwell and Cats. It is always very clean and the staff is always friendly. There seating is amazing anywhere that you sit. The ushers are always nice and they concessions are well stocked with lots of options. The bathrooms are also close so when you have intermission you don't miss anything. Parking is challenging and I recommend you pre-purchasing if you can while booking your ticket otherwise it is definitely a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend", "An amazing venue. The JFK Center is packed full of events and concerts happening on a daily basis; from up-and-coming artists to big budget established creators. Stop by to get flyers and pamphlets to find out what's going on because the website doesn't always give you everything. If nothing else, come to enjoy this awesome building and hear some live music.", "One of my favorite places and a \"must-see\" in the city. All the world flags and colorful exhibits inside, the free shows every day at 6 PM, the balcony outside, and the great big chandeliers...even if you don't pay for a show, it is worth seeing. Especially now that the REACH has opened up, this space offers so many possibilities in a beautiful venue. Mr. Kennedy would be very proud if he were to see it today.", "An incredible space to enjoy incredibly entertainment. If you have small children in your life, definitely take advantage of the Family Theatre and the new programming at The Reach. Inexpensive and educational all wrapped up in beautiful environs. A true gem of Washington, DC. (Food tip: They serve a La Frieda burger at The Terrace!)", "Enjoyed the annual Lunar New Year 2020 festivities with all the beautiful lanterns and hands-on activities. Especially enjoyed the Feelak Company Performance (Percussion Ensemble)! It would've been great if their performance was a bit longer. They had great energy and loved the interaction with the audience!", "If you are a person with a disability, especially a service animal, you will be 100% welcome here. They truly show that the arts are for everyone.\n\nAfter taking our assigned spot, where my service dog was a little cramped, an usher asked to move us to a better spot and immediately got us substitute tickets.\n\nWe were greeted with completed professionalism and you could tell they were trained specifically for service dog etiquette and I have never felt more welcome in an establishment.\n\nThank you Kennedy Center for your true hospitality and professionalism.", "Always a great place to enjoy the theatre! Not only does one get to see traditional production, but newer and more innovated productions as well. Being a member has been nice perks, like attending cast parties.", "They have steered themselves to find a nice blend of decorum and grace. The free events are authentic not corny, and the theaters are traditional and small enough to deliver a memorable experience. Parking garage has got its system well organized; much better than decades ago.", "As always, The Opera House is a beautiful and historic venue. Our mother is disabled and the staff went above and beyond ensuring she had a safe and very enjoyable experience.\n\nFrom the ticket sales ensuring we had excellent, convenient seats, to the doorman, to the ushers...everyone was so friendly and professional.\n\nBeing a DC area native, I've been to the Kennedy Center many times over the years and I cherish the experience every time.", "The atmosphere was electrifying! The ushers, parking attendants, security and vendors were professional and courteous. I really enjoyed Ms. Diana Ross performing her new and legendary ballards. And her numerous wardrobe changes. It was simply Fabulous!!", "It's airy and beautiful inside and out. American Brutalist architecture. Great theatre, entertainment in lobby. Avoid the gift shop it's a rip. Dinner is about 30$ per head with an alcoholic drink. The staff are lovely. Its a treat as it isn't cheap. But yes worth it for a little treat", "The Millennium Stage is one of the greatest entertainment options in the DC area. Free shows every day - wide variety of music types, amazing entertainment. Come early for happy hour prices on drinks before the shows. Been going to these shows for years and have never been disappointed.", "Music by a live orchestra. Beautiful dancing by a first rate ballet company. Perfectly helpful and cordial docents Amazing Chinese lantern exhibit after the show. Truly a perfect evening in all respects!", "What a grand space! I love it and loved the shop where I bought an exquisite bow tie made of feathers! The show we saw was My Fair Lady and the lead lady Shirin Ahmed was delightful as well as the other actors. Lovely evening all round", "Great shows, beautiful building and wonderful views. HOWEVER.......some of the meanest, rudest ushers I have ever met. We've been going to the Christmas Chorus for years and every interaction with these people has left a bad impression on me and my family. Being in the customer service business I would expect better. Be nice or quit!!", "Beautiful place. Parking right underneath. Went and saw a christmas concert and it was the greatest thing I've been apart of in a long time. Great staff there. It is a well rounded place and definitely a go to if you are a fan of the performing arts", "It is great,,, as usual. I love the variety of performances you can see there. I have been to see the national symphony orchestra, opera, and six other performances. It is a space that everyone is welcome, too, and the staff makes sure that is known. The only complaint I would have is parking. The prices to events are not always that low, and parking there is also not that cheap, so I would recommend taking the metro, then taking there free shuttle is possible.", "Great facility for seeing the ballet.\n\nWas surprised to learn infants need to their own ticket, even if being cradled in your arms the whole time. Just something to be aware of...", "It was amazing. I had never gone until tonight. Its absolutely breath taking. I can't wait to go back. The architecture, the atmosphere, the overall environment of it was great. Can't wait for my next trip.", "This place is fabulous! Professional and friendly staff. Shows are excellent. They even have some free venues. The symphonies and plays are fantastic and the grounds well cared for. Beautiful place to spend an afternoon or evening. A must if in Washington DC!", "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Was amazing! The accompanying app taking you on a tour of the Kennedy Center was so much fun. My daughter and I loved it." ]

[ "Saw the play Love Factually at the Kennedy Center a few days ago. The Center is elegant as always and has multiple performance stages including an Opera House. The play is a parody based on the movie Love Actually filled with comic sketches, song and dance with some audience participation.", "Just saw Disney's Aladdin. It was a fantastic performance; quite literally magical. I couldn't ask for a better experience. The Kennedy Center is a beautiful place with a wonderful, professional staff. From the outside view of the Potomac to the extravagant interior decor, full of crystal lights and luxurious reds, the Kennedy Center is one of the premiere venues where the fortunate visitor can spend hours taking in the best that the world of the performing arts has to offer.", "My family has been attending performances since it opened, including season tickets most years. The variety of offerings, including for children, is amazing. Although the performance halls are huge, they feel intimate and personal as soon as the curtain opens. Every visit is a delight and the center is a national treasure that should be visited by every American.", "Beautiful and iconic venue, home to any live entertainment you can imagine, most of which are either free or affordable! The history and atmosphere of the entire complex is a treat in itself and is easily accessible via transit. Not to mention views of the District from the free atrium up top; you don't even need to have a show ticket. Worth a visit just for the view itself.", "The National Symphony Orchestra plays jazz with more precision and clarity than any other group in the world. I loved hearing them. The venue is world class, a campus, really. My big disappointment was that after buying expensive tickets, we paid $23 to park on campus. Another state-funded venue, Wolf Trap, has free parking.", "Beautiful theaters with free music shows for before and after performances. Theaters are well cared for. Nice views of the river outside and good for a dress up night out.", "So many wonderful shows here. They have also expanded and opened up more space for performances and educational purposes. Everyone in DC needs to come to the Kennedy Center at least once, it is definitely worth your time.", "Beautiful building adorned with JFK quotes and facts about his life. There is a hall with all 50 state flags hanging from the ceiling. It looks like there are a lot of free or low cost performances offered there. I saw Aladdin at the opera theater, and the theater was great. There were restrooms right outside the theater, multiple entry and exit points, and the theater had a beautiful ceiling.", "Beautiful building both inside and out. Quite a treat to view illuminated at night. Always a pleasant experience no matter what form of art you are coming to experience. Be sure to take the tour and give yourself ample time to savor and enjoy the building itself and the wonderful works of art sprinkled throughout.", "The Kennedy Center is always doing something (or more likely - doing lots of things) and often offers free shows and events. The palatial building and grand waterfront veranda are a great experience once or twice but the venue casts a shadow over other smaller, less costly, and less traveled theaters in DC. The Warner and Ford theaters come to mind. The Kennedy center is a bit isolated geographically such that walking to or from for dinner or nightlife can be more difficult than say the Capitol One Arena or the National's Stadium. Given time and climate, a nice waterfront walk to the Georgetown waterfront area rewards one with lots of dinning options and scenic views. There is no specific metro stop at the Kennedy center either, though a free shuttle bus is provided at the Foggy Bottom station. As such parking at the Kennedy center draws a premium. Slightly discounted parking can be had at the Watergate hotel directly across the street on the north end.", "A wonderful place to experience the best music and entertainment the world has to offer. My family has attended events for over 20 years without disappointment. Simply a beautiful place.", "We attended Cats at the Kennedy Center this past Thursday.  While it is not possible to put into words how moving, how beautifully haunting, and how powerfully beautiful your singing of Memories was, it is not an exaggeration to write that if we are fortunate, in life, a  we witness a couple of moments that can transport, lift and astound us.  You rendered such a moment on Thursday.  I cannot thank you enough for performing as you did.", "Close to metro and bus, this venue is my destination for traditional and new opera. Excellent gift shop, and clean, plentiful restrooms. Check out the free performances of all sorts of music, always high quality.", "I hope NONE of my favorite artists ever perform here again! They pack people into seats like sardines! I've been to nearly every concert venue in Washington D.C., Baltimore, Northern Virginia & surrounding areas...this place has the absolute WORST seating of all! And it is incredibly difficult to drive to...unlike all other venues...got there just fine; getting INTO it was another story! Getting out wasn't much better. Normally, I can find my way & drive to just about anywhere in the country, including other venues in the D.C. area...I could SEE this place & still could not reach it!", "Absolutely terrible! The MLK Jr. Day free concert is always a crowded event, but at least in the past it was managed well. Not today. There was a complete lack of communication with the people standing in the long lines for hours. The ushers were no help and frequently stood around looking confused. There was no clear direction or updates on the status of tickets at all. They just let people keep lining up and waiting. When someone finally announced that there were no tickets left, most people could not hear since the person making the announcement stood there yelling to one side of the room. The people who would have been next in line for tickets should have been first to be seated in the Millennium Stage seating area, but were not. The ushers just opened the doors and there was literally a free for all race to the few seats there were. The entire queue process was disorganized and poorly managed. I have been to previous free events at the Kennedy Center and other venues in the city, but even with crowded conditions, they were managed well. This was absolutely the most disorganized and incompetent handling of an event that I have ever seen. To make matters worse, the staff and the theater manager seemed to be completely indifferent and some were even quite rude when a number of patrons who had been standing in line for hours asked questions about the availability of tickets, prior to anything being said by someone from the venue, and about reimbursement for parking. I frequently visit the Kennedy Center for free and paid ticket events. I am also a member and support financially. However, this event has left a bad taste in my mouth about the Kennedy Center. The lack of professionalism and mismanagement was appalling. I don't even want to attend anything here after this terribly handled event. This is very sad, as I've attended many events here, including previous MLK Jr. Day concerts, and even though it is always crowded, it has never been this poorly managed. This has made me not want to support anything here again.\nUnfortunately, I'll think twice before coming to the Kennedy Center from now on.", "Always a pleasure to be there\nGood show and food was OK. WORTH a walkthrough even without a show. Can have an entire meal. Advance reserve parking online is a nice feature. Can borrow earphones to improve show sound.", "Kennedy center always has wonderful shows and exciting new experiences for all interests. The facility is nice, theaters don't have bad seats, and overall I can't complain about the quality of performances. Only detraction is the ridiculous parking fees especially after paying for tickets to attend the performances.", "My favorite place on Earth. This mammoth of an institution strives to open it's door and others for artists and activists all over the world. The staff, board, and audience are endlessly searching and curious as to how reflect and impact life on Earth for the better.\n\nIt's a beacon to empathy, creativity, and giving. You must see inside the building, the view from the terrace, or a show, whether living here or visiting.\n\nFree performances every night and affordable dining and entertainment. You will always find a new piece being rehearsed, or Broadway stars slipping through the side door.\n\nAlso, stay alert for The Reach!

Got a good workout....👍🤔", "Arena Stage is an extraordinary theater capable of creating fantastic dramatic experiences. It has evolved from a first class regional theater to a truly first class national theater and its current production of August Wilson's Jitney is a tribute to just how good theater can be.

Out of about 200 shows, only about 3 were not good. Most often, the plays are outstanding, including the first 3 thus far this season. There are almost no seats that I would say No to when I need to change performances (easy to do). I am usually amazed by the set designs. Only on rare occasions is there a weak person in a cast.

There was not a bad seat and it felt like you were in the play.", "I was able to see and hear well from upstairs in the balcony. The ushers were extremely helpful in showing us to our seats.

You can bring drinks inside the theater and I recommend putting a lid on them and you should also take the time to look around because the building has very tall glass windows and has a nice view of all the construction going on at the Wharf. the venue is handicapped accessible and has elevators and automatic doors and a very helpful staff of docents.", "Very enjoyable and modern live theatre in DC, located near La'Enfant Plaza and next to the south side of the DC Warf. Has multple stages and typically more than one show at a time. Offers a consession bar with snacks, sandwhiches, and limited selection of beer, wine, and liquor/mixed drinks. Also has a restaurant, which is more like a fancy cafeteria (food was decent, but nothing to write home about). It's not the Kennedy Center, but a more affordable and approachable option for theatre entertainment. The acting was surprisingly good and the stage was uniquely positioned in the middle of the audience like a mini sports arena, which was different but worked.", "Great venue. Loved the staging in the smaller venue. The Arena Stage is a great community space.", "Play was great except for one thing. ..couldn't hear some of the actors!

Lunch was served, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The floors are concrete, which can be unforgiving in heels, but despite that, this is a nice venue for your event.", "Arena is a gem of American theater. It contains three stages under one dramatic roof, and often produces several plays simultaneously. Reflecting its location in D.C., nearly every production has a strong American angle, many focus on the city's storied past and political drama, and the subjects and casting draw on the city's rich ethnic diversity. Parking can be a challenge for those who don't reserve it via a seasonal subscription. Pre-show on-premises dining is available and has the advantage of expediency, but can't rise above cafeteria-quality. Right across the street though are the dozen or so great restaurants of the city's new on-the-water Wharf neighborhood.", "The August Wilson play entitled \"Jitney\" was fantastic!!! The cast did an awesome job!! The play has been extended until October 27th. You'll be glad you went!❤️", "It's a lovely place. We were able to have dinner, which was really good, before the play.

Menu specials are good, too.", "I ordered a sirloin steak, but from what I got it seemed more like a strip steak to me because there was a layer of fat around the edges. But overall, we had a pleasant experience!", "Awesome pub, basically does follow the English pub system. When I say system I mean it look like an English pub and the food was definitely authentic. Very good food and decent prices", "Food and service was excellent. A tad pricey, though. Crab cake sandwich. Is it the beer? Had one too, which was good. Just wondering.", "Delicious food and great service. Our waiter made sure all our needs were met. The food was presently nicely and it had very good taste", "Food was great, saving this from being a 1 star review. We came in on a Sunday night, place was empty. We had a large group, so we were split between three 6-person tables. Customer service was poor throughout the 2 hours we were there, and management seemed to be kicking us out 30 minutes before closing. Dropped the check for the entire 6 person table and didn’t even ask if we wanted to split it up. They “don’t split up checks for large groups”. When do you split up checks then? We all abided by mask guidelines, and we weren’t a rowdy group. One of our members did get reminded that she can’t move between tables, after she switched tables to cut up food for her son (with her mask on the entire time). Didn’t seem like the right way to treat a group that was bringing a lot of business on a slow night. Will give our money to a different establishment next time.", "The food is regularly well prepared and delightful, employees hands over good service. I like the cleanliness and ambience. I highly recommend this spot.", "Limited seafood dishes to be on Wharf. No variety of vegetarian or vegan food.

The crew is very loyal and well trained. The service is impressively efficient. Most important, the food they prepare is magnificent. I have been there more than once and I was never disappointed. The pay is modest. I recommend this restaurant to to all.", "Better for take out. With the restrictions its not the best dining experience because they have no garnishes for the food and very small plastic plates for you to ear with. Even though all the other restaurants nearby are using dishes. For that price I think I deserve some olives in my martini. AMAZING food though!

Once I got a server she was great, but I hate to use the term discriminated against, but I did..If a mandatory 20% is required I think better customer service should be required.

Wasn't really no one inside so the service should have been on point. He'd ask if you want something you'd tell him, then he'd come back asking if you wanted anything else only to not bring anything back. He rushed us on ordering, then was low key trying to add things to the meal that'd cost more to add on. Not OK.

It's very small and has limited options. I've only been able to find a large pack of chicken breasts one time.

Let that sink in... Seems like they have forgotten how important confession is supposed to be and a whole minute late is a denied entry for someone.

A bookstore, gift shop, and full-service cafeteria highlight this wonderful place of prayer. You could spend hours just enjoying and praying with the domes, in addition to all of this side chapels.", "A beautiful place to be regardless of your religion. Cafeteria on basement level is very good and reasonably priced. Several masses during the day. Peaceful art inside.

There’s no such thing as a dumb question.", "Very beautiful cathedral. I attended mass and it was great. I haven't been to a Catholic church in a while but it was inviting to everyone. The different shrine from different countries were spectacular and each one unique.

They strangely dont have the one and only approved apparition of Mary in the U.S., Our Lady of America.

The tour is more recommended for Catholics, otherwise I would think it's too much info for non-Catholics, but of course these free tours are open for public! The tour guide brought us to see some of the many chapels and the main church itself, gave some explanations and answered the questions from visitors. After that, we had lunch in the church cafe, nice lunch! Then we strolled in the book store and gift store. There are a lot of good quality books at the book store, but the souvenirs in the gift store are overly overpriced. After that we spent some time outside the church to take some pictures and enjoy the awesome view of the sky and surrounding.

There are two gift stores/religious articles stores on the lower level, one on each side of the large cafeteria.\nThe Basilica is handicapped accessible. There is plenty of parking. The outside is well landscaped with places to sit on benches or on the grass." ]

Then she comes back three minutes later to ask if we're ready, without recommending anything on the menu, in which we replied, telling her that we were waiting for some friends to park before ordering. Five minutes later, she comes back, and places the promotion card on the table, pointing out the fact that it's a $10 minimum to stay, without saying a word, she just pointed and stared at us. Our friends weren't even here yet and 8 minutes into this place, we already feel unwelcomed. At that point, we called our friends back and told them to not even bother. We asked her to speak to a manager, in which she replied with a face of discuss and anger, and said \"What?! Why?\" We told her that she was simply being rude. Then she replied, \"So! I'm busy!\" and snatched the menus off if the table. It was a Sunday night, there were maybe five tables and one person at the bar, she was obviously not busy. When she refused to even retrieve a manager, we walked out. We're never coming back. I just want to let someone know so that others won't have to go through what we went through.

[ "Great Jazz, very friendly, and the drinks are not very pricy (average price of about $5-$6 for a bottle). It is worth the price of beer for such great Jazz performance they have there. The Saxophone player (from Denmark) actually recognized us from one night, while we where walking to another restaurant. He saw us walking around again, stepped outside and asked us to come in. We came into Columbia Station on a Wednesday night. VERY relaxed, VERY chill, and overall a wonderful environment to talk and listen to the great music. No cover and very friendly bartender.\nI recommend this place for thoughs looking for a quick stop to grab a beer and listen to jazz. We will be back!!!\n\nInstagram: @happyhour_dc", "Great place for Jazz and there is no cover charge.", "My parents were visiting me in DC for the weekend, we were walking in Adams Morgan and my mom realized that this place was a favorite of hers when she was a student at GW in the 70s. She was so happy that it's still around. We were greeted by musicians at the front, and happily went in to have drinks and dinner. The jazz was fantastic, genuine, and full of good vibes. The server didn't write down our order when we gave it and that's when the trouble began. We all predicted that she would get it wrong, and indeed she gave all three of us something other than what we ordered. The food tasted okay, even though we had asked for other things. 20 minutes later, she showed up with the sandwich I had ordered. I was full and didn't want it. She tried to force me to eat it by reassuring me that she was fixing her mistake. We were blown away by how rude and unprofessional this was. The manager/chef ended up coming out to talk with us. He blamed everything on the server, told us she would be punished, and claimed that there had been only one mistake when there was in fact three. He gave us a bill that charged us for drinks and food we never ordered or received. I have never seen my mom yell at a server, and she had to go outside to calm down while we tried to get the bill sorted out. We were never apologized to, never smiled at, and just wanted to get out. This is at the top of my list of most awful restaurant experiences. We ended up paying way more than we should have. It's a shame that a place with a rich history as a \"family\" jazz restaurant in the neighborhood provided us with such poor service. My mom was disappointed that her nastolgia in this place had to end so bitterly. all of this was made worse by the fact that it's clearly the norm here. People sitting next to us explained multiple similar experiences, including a server charging one of them for a drink they hadn't drank after they stepped outside for a smoke. If this place is going out of business, and this is how they are trying to save it, then I hope it goes quickly out of business. Otherwise, they need new wait staff who understand the most basic steps of service. \"casual\" and \"relaxed\" are nice ways to describe a place, but in practice here it means you will have an horrible dining experience.", "Came to DC for a visit.

I apologized and said I was just stopping in to see the music. She gave me a menu and then proceeded to tell me I had to pay 10 dollars or else I had to leave.\nSo, I understand companies needing business for people sitting in their seats, but this lady was condescending about it and saying rude things like \"oh, are you going to cry?\" And \"you need to get out\" before giving me a chance to even think about ordering food.\nIf you want business from people, why don't you charge 5 dollars to see the band, or at least offer time to think about ordering?

There was 3 of us, and 2 of us were almost finished eating before our 3rd guest even got his food. I was excited about goin to this place because of the rooftop bar, but was madly disappointed.

However, the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter was inattentive, and we requested one last round of drinks 20 minutes before our reservation ended. We did not receive those requested drinks and when we brought that discrepancy to the waiter's attention, he acted as if he was doing us a favor by giving us one measly jar of a regular mimosa for a table of 5+.

That is not a knock on the Bloody Mary though, that was exquisite. The restaurant was relatively quiet and relaxed.

The glasses are dirty. The bloody mary was about 4 parts vodka to 1 part (mediocre) bloody mix. The mimosas tasted pretty watered down (orange juiced down?). Food was ok. For the price, if you wanna get tipsy and have a fun party, I can't recommend it enough. If you're turning geriatric like yours truly, it might be time to move on.", "My friends and arrived at 2 am and asked when will the bar close to decide if going in or not. They said 3 am but when it's 15 to 3 they basically drags us out and when I'm finishing my drink at the door, the bouncer grabs it and threaten me to punch me if I don't let it go (I'm a girl). Obviously I let it go but then why did they sold the drinkwhen we're so close to closing time??? Worst experience ever for a tourist. Never coming back", "Review for the night scene: I like the upstairs patio bar, which may be the only good thing about this place. Otherwise, the small dance floor gets jam packed and filled with music from a sub-mediocre DJ. They used to project giant music videos on the walls, which definitely lead to a more staple experience, but I didn't see it during my most recent visit...", "The bathroom facilities should be improved upon.While Having a gender neutral bathroom is okay but exposing the users to one another is not just ok.", "Fun and pleasant bar.

Several other D.C. brunch spots only serve Mimosas or Bloody Mary's so the Bellini option is a nice touch. Food wise, I highly recommend one of the breakfast pizzas. It's a unique twist to traditional brunch.", "Had Saturday brunch on the roof. Food was average but the vibe is fun and the price is great ($27 for bottomless and an entrée). The line was out the door so make a reservation for a larger group.", "I love the atmosphere and decor of Local 16. They have a really cool outdoor bar and seating area that is awesome on a nice day.

He was very attentive and kind. Drinks were good and strong. Food was good old-fashioned bar food.

It's a good place, but I don't choose to go there when it's my call, as it's just not as good as the other options in the area.

I had the duck tacos, Mom had the Trout, and we shared an order of the tempura kale. All really quite tasty, and well- presented.\n\nThird, our server was great - taking time out even though it was getting busy to answer our questions.\n\nI grew up in the neighborhood, and when I was a kid, there were NO good restaurants (or even good local hang-out spots) in Brookland. As a teen, there were a couple (the now-gone Colonel Brooks Tavern, and Ellis Island).

Cauliflower grits were phenomenal, and the steel plate burger was fantastic. At medium rare, mine was delicious. My friend got hers medium well, which is a sin, but she got just what she asked for: an over cooked blackened burnt tasting burger. (eye roll) so they'll serve what you ask for, even if it's ridiculous.\nAlso, the fries were good and the onion rings different from any other I've had before. Weren't my fav, personally, but you could tell they're not cheap frozen rings; they're legit.", "Very eclectic food. I've never seen a whole goat on the menu before.

Apparently you can rent out the upper floor and outside deck area for parties, which is awesome! The service was great and the acoustics were good. Based off some other reviews I ordered the fried kale, which was AMAZING! Even if you're not a big kale person, these are fabulous! I also tried the Shrimp burger which didn't really live up to the hype in my opinion, still tasty though. Definitely not a restaurant for those that are trying to eat healthy, but definitely a fun place to try that's off the beaten path.", "Went for a Sunday brunch.

Deborah/Debra, a busy store manager took the time to fill an entire rolling clothing rack for me to try on outfits for an upcoming event and for a few other day to day events.\nI anticipated numerous items in a large dressing room. Instead dozens of thoughtfully thought out outfits. They were were stunning and perfect for my needs.\nA sales person knew who I was when I arrived and was there to assist me. She went to other departments to find a different size as well as bringing additional outfits in.\nAmanda was an example of a sales person from years ago.

She researched available color selections and met me the ... yup ... the shoe department.\nThe shoe department appeared to have the busiest and on-top of things sales person; a tall dark haired who appeared to be younger than most employees in the store. She was tirelessly keeping up with numerous ladies scattered throughout the expansive shoe department. A cornucopia of selections; the perfect pleasant and energetic person was there.

My recent visit was very disappointing, 1st off I couldn't find an attended register throughout the second floor. And when I did, there stood three female employees that stood near the accessories/coats area chit chatting and I waited a few minutes before one of them finally acknowledges my presence. I had a coat for my granddaughter to purchase in my hand and ask if I could pay there, well with a whole of delay and redirecting me to the department where I picked up the coat, I decided to place the coat back on the rack collect my grandbaby and leave.

Very close to Metro Station which provides access to all major lines. Hotel is nice, but rooms are a little older and don’t feel as “grand” as the name suggests. Still would recommend hotel as a cheaper alternative to other boutique and higher star hotels in the area.", "Positive: The staffs are really nice.", "Excellent accommodation! Rooms are nice and clean, micro wave are available upon request. The lobby is so cozy and very classy. Professional and friendly staff. Great location, walking distance to the White House, Washington Memorial, Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial. China town is at short walking distance as well. A lot of nice and reasonable restaurant around. The most important thing is, there's a private passage way to the metro. I will definitely stay here again.", "I enjoyed my stay here. Classy, close to metro (like in the building), food, Starbucks, great customer service. Close proximity to many things including shopping (my expensive shopping people)!! Rooms were clean and comfortable. The restaurant is a bit pricey but..... the Ribeye is SO DELICIOUS! Drinks are good too! Gets crowded in the evening but most of the company was good! Would definitely stay again.", "I have a few things to say. This is the greatest hotel I’ve ever been to in my life. There are great rooms with one bed, two beds, and suites. With the suite, you get a breakfast, lunch, and dinner lounge. They have Starbucks, gym, and other things in the building as well." ]

Crew was nice but I thought the food was a bit over priced considering portions. I ordered a pork sandwich ($12) and a piece of pie ($5). Not only did my food take a while but it was wrong and I thought the pie was a bit small. I was given the ribs ($22 for a 1/2 rack) which were alright. Dripping with sauce and the back skin was left on which I didn’t care for and one rib was too tough to eat. Hope it was just a fluke but not sure I’ll be back.", "Great service!

We were informed it was because there were 2 bands that night. That said, the bands were great, very talented and provided awesome music for us to dance to all night. Staff was super nice and helpful, gave us some free tables for our big group to chill at. Drinks prices were nothing special but they did have a large selection of options. We ordered a couple food items and they were good, I think we got cheese fries and wings. Overall we had a great time at Takoma Station and will be back.

Drinks are reasonably priced.\nCONS: Finding street parking is a headache. It was free before 10 for ladies, but of course the bouncers were only letting like 2 ppl in every 10 mins. The space is kinda small and since there were a lot of ppl in there, it makes it hard to move around. Once you got in a spot, you pretty much stayed.

It's perfect here.", "Food was great and atmosphere was fantastic. It was packed, but the staff was on point! Food came out quick as well as the drinks.

Staff was super kind and accommodating. I'm docking a star b/c of the odors. We were the first ones in the restaurant on a Monday morning on a long weekend, and as soon as we walked in it had an old-beer type smell. The bathroom was worse and really smelled like an outhouse. I mean, can't they clean the place overnight, and doesn't the staff notice these smells?", "Very much enjoyed our time there. The drinks were well made and the food was delicious. Atmosphere is friendly and the manager does a great job surfing the floor. Our waitress Mary did an excellent job.", "Stopped in to grab a quick dinner before a caps game.

The staff was friendly and efficient. They have a good selection of beers and a really interesting menu. The prices were reasonable and they offer \"happy hour\" snacks and drinks at a discounted rate. We ordered from the regular menu. I had the corned beef and cabbage and my wife had the beet salad. Both meals were fresh, prompt and delicious.", "Love their fish and chips, they were best I have had in a very long time. Fish was fresh and batter was crisp and golden and not oily! Big portions and good prices, another thing we tried was their Lamb dip, oh my gosh! My kids inhaled it in a matter of seconds, it was so good, but I wouldn't trade it for my fish and chips, however next time we are her I'll get me that sandwich. We also tried their Sheppard's pie and it was ok, nothing special but lots of mash potatoes and very little meat, so if you're a potatoes liver, this might be your dish, everything was very appealing to the eye. Ambiance was good, big place, nice bar which by the way was very busy. Our server was nowhere to be found, but there was another server very proactive and friendly that took care of us even check on us when we weren't even one of her tables!

Had to ask for water twice, food took a while to come out. Wouldn't come back again, the only part of our experience that was memorable was the lousy service.", "Good menu with great lunch options and a good beverage selection including beers.

This is actually cottage pie which is English and is made with beef. 😂", "Fado is a nice Irish-theme chain that allows for a nice selection of beer and cocktails with classic Irish dishes.

I mentioned to her that Ohio State was actually playing. She then replied,that you have to be in their Ohio State fan club. Needless to say, one beer and we were done. We were looking foward to eating here but with the misleading advertising I figured it was no need to waste any more of my time or money here. Buyer beware!", "Came for brews before the Wizards game.

The brussel sprouts were delicious and we had to get more of the garlic aioli!

Brian, the owner, it's very engaging and takes care of his customers. The food is awesome! I love their brisket and pork--and I'm from Texas. Thanks again for the round.", "Great burgers, delicious beer selection and friendly staff. Tip the bartenders well they work their butts off and you will see once you get there. Standard spirits and liquor selection, but one doesn't come here for that (they have a good scotch selection). The experience of this welcoming and trendy bar will have you meeting new people or enjoy the company of your friends.", "Friendly staff, good food and drink, reasonable prices for DC.", "Always a great time.", "They make some pretty solid beers and cover a decent variety of styles.\nThey seem to regularly have a food truck from varying vendors.", "Was there for a private gathering. Beer selection was meh but they had a full bar so if you like liquor over beer, you'll be fine.\n\nThe bar food was nothing to write home about but it's a bar so don't come in expecting gourmet style food choices.", "Terrible food. Awful atmosphere", "Great food and service.", "Great neighborhood pub. The bartender will remember your name and your drink, even after only one visit.", "These guys are the best.

The Bartenders are great as is the manager. He is very nice. The food is also delicious. I recommend the smoked chicken wings.", "We were there at happy hour. Good selection of beer, wine, coctails at a good price. We tried 2 dishes: the happy hour artichoke dip -watery and goopy. The beef nachos -Wheres the beef?!?!", "Nicely redone. Great drinks and nice menu items. Huge flat screen tvs for watching sports. Very nice back terrace for hanging out.", "Good pizza and the bees knees cocktail was nice. But i felt like I needed to wash up. The menus were sticky. Plus I sat on a chair and by back stuck to the chair back. The roof top had plastic covering part of the space where air should circulate through (the whole point of going to a rooftop bar). Everyone was hot and sticky trying to stand in front of the fan. I won't be going back.", "Pretty good food and strong drinks. Was a nice place to get acquainted with my team which was a bunch of strangers to me. The staff was nice as well.", "Comedy show & musical performance (was 💥) 🎸 Tasty sliders.", "Love Exiles, especially the outdoor area when the smoker is going. Food is great but I wish the happy hour offerings were more extensive. Longer happy hour, though, which is nice.", "Music is super dope. I enjoyed the beer, the bartenders and the other people. I had never been this far down U St. before, but I'll definitely be back. This place is awesome.", "Went for trivia. The upstairs bartender was perfectly perfunctory, but didn't make you feel overly welcome. Trivia was run through with all deliberate speed and as soon as it was over they shooed us out... It felt like they were obligated to do the trivia and it couldn't be over soon enough. The food was ok, beer prices normal for DC." ]

All of the workers seem so helpful.", "Magnificent architecture is a perfect backdrop to the large collection of world-famous works of art. Make sure to visit both buildings and the sculpture garden.

Extensive pieces including era. Easy to navigate and it's free. Well maintained and kept.", "Covid review: got free entry tickets. Entered at the scheduled time.

The Japanese animal exhibit was my favorite.", "The most amazing thing to me about old paintings is how well they have been preserved for mankind to enjoy.", "am so happy the NGA is open again. My husband and I decided to spend our Saturday date walking over to the museum and taking in an exhibit or two. We reserved tickets online a couple of weeks in advance (they get released at 10 am on Mondays for the /following/ week). We arrived at 11:30 and decided to have lunch first (it took us 1.5 hours to walk there so we needed rest and fuel) and browse the museum store which has a lot of cute knick knacks and interesting books. We then walked through the furniture exhibit (it’s okay, not really for us), took a quick look at the impressionist still lifes (cute puppies, fruit and oysters), and spent the rest of the time (about an hour) in the True to Nature exhibit. This is a very nice collection of ‘amateur’ paintings of a variety of natural features in the Italian and French countryside. We would have liked to see the Degas exhibit but decided to save it for next time as our legs were quite tired. All of the staff were super friendly and I personally LOVED how few people were there. To be honest, I hope they stick with ticketed/limited entry into the future because it greatly increases the quality of the experience. Highly recommended way to get out of the house!

Open to the public and free of charge, the museum was privately established in 1937 for the American people by a joint resolution of the United States Congress. Andrew W. Mellon donated a substantial art collection and funds for construction. The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western Art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.\n\nThe Gallery's campus includes the original neoclassical West Building designed by John Russell Pope, which is linked underground to the modern East Building, designed by I. M. Pei, and the 6.1-acre (25,000 m2) Sculpture Garden. The Gallery often presents temporary special exhibitions spanning the world and the history of art. It is one of the largest museums in North America.\n\nFor the breadth, scope, and magnitude of its collections, the National Gallery is widely considered to be one of the greatest museums in the United States of America, often ranking alongside the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in Boston, Massachusetts. Of the top three art museums in the United States by annual visitors, it is the only one that has no admission fee. It ranks 2nd in American museums behind the Met for number of annual visitors and 10th in the world.", "I was so excited when I saw my favourite impressionists paintings in the gallery. They have a huge volume for various artists. The structure is somewhat easy to manage and it's easy to navigate room to room with well categorized themed paintings. You could maybe miss a small room or two. The open statue restoration is an awesome feature to allow people to see. The building is also beautiful.", "It was so clean and so quiet in there. It really gave me time to enjoy each and every peace of art.", "Love of my favorite places in DC. Feels like my own private gallery.", "The Degas at the opera was very nice. It was the only part of the gallery open.", "Timed pass, weekday morning. Degas without crowds. Great outing for those who can.", "It was a good place to view art and learn about it. I would like for tour guides to not freak out so much for people getting close to exhibits. Kids don't know rules the same way adults do, at least most adults.\nBut other than that the guide was great at asking questions and getting 1st graders involved. Thank you.", "I took a field trip to the National Gallery of Art with my first graders. We stayed in the East wing. It was a wonderful experience or both the children and me. We had wonderful docents who gave us a great tour of the gallery. We participated in some Hands-On experiences. We have lots of Rich discussions. The museum is large enough to view without being crowded on top of other people. It is one of my favorite places to go in Washington.", "Such a wonderful pleasure to visit the Gallery again.

Seems like a pointless, self-defeating policy. Some first level rooms were unusually packed.", "I love coming here. I have been visiting National Gallery since I was a child. I enjoy taking my children on a nice Fall day, Summer is way to crowded.

The upstairs portion isn't open right now, so we will definitely be back, to see it.", "Fantastic collection, free entrance. One of the best things about living in DC.", "The National Gallery never fails to offer a wonderful visual experience. This time we visited old favorites in the early Italian renaissance collection, the impressionists, and a special exhibit of Cezanne's portraits, plus a small temporary exhibit of how the new availability of images in print in the renaissance allowed for sharing in other media, most often pottery (majolica).\n\nThe two gardens offer a calm oasis, a good place to meet or simply catch your breath.", "Amazing artwork! I highly recommend visiting the National Gallery of Art when in Washington DC!", "Beautiful architecture. Wonderful collection of paintings, sculpture and collections... Skip European museum tours when there is this gem right here in the US. And best of all free... The only catch is that it is a lot of walking 😊 Also no regular cafe/lunch options like other Smithsonians.. lots of eating options outside. Take your time exploring.", "One of the most impressive art museums in the world. The National Gallery of Art has an incredible array of art pieces and everyone will find something here for them! I would recommend planning to spend several days here if you want to take in the entire gallery! This is a great place for anyone to visit - travelers and natives of the city alike. Washington DC is fortunate to have such wonderful public institutions hosting our nation's treasures. If you are in DC, do not miss the National Gallery of Art.", "Loved the Seurat and Cezanne pieces in particular." ]

I highly recommend it and only wish my city had something like this.", "My favorite museum in the entire city! You've got floors and floors of classical art, a tunnel away from modern art in the east building, and the museum is Huge so there's always something new to see on every visit. I have been there close to a dozen times, and plan to return soon. Even if you're not a big fan of museums, do yourself a favor and go spend a day there. This is a must see!!", "Never knew I like art. It's so cool to see up close. Nothing else like it. Makes you feel so small. The history and time and talent.", "Incredible. The place is huge and one could spend many hours there. Any famous artist you can think of will have works displayed here.\nMy favorite are the Renaissance paintings. There was a special room dedicated to the work of a Venice master painter named Tintoretto who is my new favorite. Incredible talent, amazing details and choices of color.\nEntry to this museum is FREE", "One of the most rich and abundant spaces of Beauty in the city.

Since visiting, we built our first easel. We both had favorite paintings and we discussed why we liked the pieces. We look forward to future visits.", "Took the Georgia O’Keeffe Tour at the National Gallery of Art hosted by Washington, DC History & Culture. Only visited the East Building there's mostly paintings, many of these by well known artists. There's artwork by Matisse, O'Keefe, and Picasso among others. Great way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend .", "This museum showcases some beautiful works of art. The history of the building and the man who conscripted the building were all interesting. It is truely amazing to see what gifted, wealthy and USA loving people can do, and have done for their country. Maybe more people like these individuals will continue to show the world and America that their extreme wealth can be used for the benefit of all.", "All the Smithsonian's museum were closed and no advise in website's. Including the Visitor's Welcome center. We are so upsetting", "Prepare to be awed – just by the sheer scale of this gallery. As you walk in, there is a welcome desk where you can pick up handy maps and guides, including kids’ trails. From there you ascend the stately stairway to be greeted by a cavernous vestibule topped with a rotunda, all held up by monumental black marble pillars that would have made any Roman architect proud. At the centre of this great space, is a huge indoor fountain, complete with a golden statue of Mercury. It makes you wonder how the floor doesn’t cave in. Yet the building has been here since 1941 and is still standing. The gallery is divided into so many different periods and genres that I think you’d need a day to go around it all. But what a day it would be. We started in the East building at a temporary exhibit of Japanese Art. The kids’ trail helped us all to navigate through the spaces. From there we legged it back to the French Impressionist galleries, which contain a fantastic collection of inspiring artworks. Then it was back across to the Concourse to grab a speedy lunch in the Cascade Café. This eatery operates a bit like a canteen with tasty self-service sandwiches, pizzas, grills and salads. There is also a restaurant and an espresso bar in the building, so once you arrive at opening time (10:00am) there’s really no need to look elsewhere for food, beverages or inspiration all the way through until closing time (17:30).", "The lunar photography gallery was amazing! I spent nearly an hour in that room alone. I would highly recommend for anyone who can visit while it is still there. Next month(September 2019) they are adding a sun photography gallery as well. If it's anything like the lunar one it has to be amazing as well.", "Works of art.. Rembrandts.. so close you can see the brushstrokes. Statues carved in bronze made by artists you only read about.

If you came with friends the outdoor patio area could be the perfect fit.\n\nMusic selection is always just right.\n\nBurger and fries are some of the best in the district.\n\nMake the stop.

She was our first generation off the boat from Ireland", "Great shepherds pie, but was a little too upscale for my working class self. Waiter literally criticized me for drinking Miller Lite, which I mention not because I was upset, just to illustrate what kind of place it is. That is to say, a little too fancy for an Irish bar.", "Best Irish food I've had in America!\nThe Fish and Chips were excellent, not too greasy and the fillet was whole. The Shepard's Pie was just gorgeous and their Potato Soup was PERFECT.\nThere was a server from Cork who was AMAZING, and the rest of the staff I met were awesome too. Everyone was friendly, and very high energy!

Well, they need not for me to elaborate on them. This cocktail has been served to the many visitors that come to DC and leave there with stories about this pub that will entice others to come and visit. I will recommend this establishment to anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to visit a pub in Ireland, but can't afford to go. This place will give it to you all.", "It was nothing special. The guy serving hit on my GF and it was pretty funny. Its like a college bar. Theyre capable of basic bartending.

[ "Great food, but cavalier about COVID-19. First time ordering. Came for my pick up and noticed the bartender's mask was not covering his mouth or nose. While waiting a few minutes for my meal, not once did he use it. He rang up people's bills, interacted closely with servers. When my meal arrived, I asked the server why the bartender wasn't wearing a mask and before he could answer, another employee interrupted. She said he didn't need to wear a mask since he was behind the bar. Clearly he was interacting with people and breathing out unmasked in the same area where he made drinks. I debated whether I should just leave without the food, but reasoned that he didn't prepare my food. When I got home, I thought more about it. Do they have the same cavalier attitude back in the kitchen? Sad. Good food. The servers were friendly. But I don't have confidence that they are concerned for the safety of the patrons (or staff).", "Never a bad meal or experience at Mr. Henry's. Staff and management are also great! I once made a mistake on my pickup order, and when I let them know, they added it to my order at no cost.

In no time we had our drink orders. Our server name was Wil, he was very friendly and he even got him and a couple other employees to sing happy bday with a delicious bday rainbow cake and candle to my friend. Also he bought my friend a bday shot, which was very nice of him.. Not only was he good on the eyes (LoL), but he kept making sure our table was good and with everything going on these days his energy had me feeling like I was in the club environment ready to get lit!!!!

As others have suggested in their reviews, it's a very friendly crowd. The bartender, Tim, was exceptionally nice.

[ "I haven't been there since the 90's and i went Saturday 3/7/20 and now I know why, if you are not a regular there, the customer service is very horrible the server I had was UGH and the manager was no better they mess up my order( a hamburger) ask for medium well came back burnt they replaced it so when i received the check I ask the manager for messing up the order me having to wait, the rule is to take it off the bill or take a percentage off, the manager (tall black guy) excuse me acting manager) says to me we replace it, and we dont take anything off the bill, now that was there mistake, it was bad coming through the door, the only reason why i stayed was because i was with someone who had ask me to go. IF YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR THERE, RUN FOR LIFE, they're better restaurants around with better customer service who treat people all the same, regular or not.

Ordered an Irish coffee and it went downhill from.\nSomeone needs to tell Servers that you cant make a customer take and pay for something that they didn't order.

I had a taste for a steak, but......", "I came upon Mr Henry’s a couple years ago when visiting from California. My son now lives in DC so I dine at Henry’s every time I am there to visit. What first struck me was how friendly and cozy it felt. By DC standards it is a more casual and relaxed dining experience, which was refreshing. The servers were friendly, helpful in recommending some of their favorites and the food was delicious. Upstairs they typically have live entertainment so the dining experience up there is different than downstairs. I love their frittata which I had at brunch, it had lots of flavor and was a good sized portion. I’ve also had their burgers and a variety of appetizers. The atmosphere is very friendly, the crowd is diverse, they make great drinks and they have patio dining which I appreciate during nice weather.", "The turkey burger is amazing. Love the sage aioli that it's served with. The Monday special of half-off burgers makes it an incredible deal. The bartender I had, Miranda, was slinging drinks like a pro. This place has a great \"Cheers\" like ambiance. You can tell the regulars and staff are like family. I highly recommend it to anyone in town looking for a fun, inclusive atmosphere.", "Great safety procedures and service, but the food was so-so", "Love the atmosphere", "Bartender was chill and knowledgeable, you can tell when a staff likes each other this crew did. The MC for the Thursday night Jazz jam was corny, but the music was poppin. The restaurant is intimate the crowd was engaged. Food looks standard, but to be fair I only drank and partied here on a Thursday night. Power to the people.", "Delightful! They are doing a great job during tough times!", "The Jazz event was popping, the waitress was on point, and the food was delicious and on time. I do recommend going to Mr. Henry's Restaurant one more time....", "Super helpful and friendly staff...I had the hangover burger...twas delicious...u definitely can get a quality burger from this place...it's a lil expensive but worth it", "A meal rather than a dining experience. Main issues were that burgers were bland and arrived before we had finished our starter. Crab dip was fine but with too little bread for a shared option and we were charged $1.50 for a little extra. Server was attentive but trying to order drinks with no list was a little difficult. Overall hard to see why it is a 4* rating. Won’t be going back.", "We had our bluejacket holiday party there. The food and service was outstanding", "Wednesday nights feature a raucous, exciting jam session hosted by Herb Scott and Aaron Myers, and featuring top musicians and vocalist from the DMV area. The food is good, drinks are great, and there is the occasional cutting-session putting instrumentalists against one another in a contest of chops. Mr Henry's is a fun time for the audience and the musicians!", "Dark and stormy's are the way to go on a cold winter night! LOVED their chicken sandwich as well. I now live in California and this is the first place I would go after I get off the plane!", "Good food and good company", "I've been going to Mr. Henry's since I was probably 5. After 13 years, it still remains one of my family's, my friends, and my own favorite spots. The staff and waiters are incredibly friendly and helpful. Jazz nights are a blast, the atmosphere is great, and the food is amazing. Recommend the old bay wings, fries, and Eastern Market quesadilla.", "Mr Henry's is a neighborhood staple. Mr parents would go t Mr Henry's on date nights to see Roberta Flack. The ambience has pretty much remained the same as a neighborhood spot.

Luv that they got rid of plastic straws in a effort to save our animals in the sea. 🐠🐋🐟 Thank you Mr. Henry's!", "I always have a wonderful time here.

DC is full of them, right?\n\nThese blew me out of the water. The pork was perfectly shredded. The cheese was plenty. The dough was perfectly cooked. Nice and flat and no doughy bits. This is a gem for pupusas. The curtido is amazing. The salsa is also amazing. The vinegar and bite from the sides make the main a true treat. Why did I stop by? Well, and an Irish citizen living in DC it’s hard to get a proper meal. I stoped by, and I’ll be stopping by far more often. If you don’t eat meat you can always get them with beans. They’re very accommodating!\n\nLove you guys!", "Great service and good food. Cocktails well served.", "The place offers a nice variety of fresh food. I enjoyed eating here.

The service was extremely slow — we waited over an hour for their famous Chesapeake wings. The bartender forgot to put the wings in and didn’t make any effort to correct the situation. In addition, one of the male bartenders (potentially a manager) was rude and made derogatory comments about the restaurant itself. He also served the gentleman seated next to me sour cream instead of mayo with his burger and explained the error with, “I guess the kitchen made an audible.” We’re local and were looking forward to adding this as a regular spot in our rotation.

Besides wings, they've got a pretty standard bar food menu.", "Always a good time... Small but good locals groups there and great wings", "Want to like this place but I cant. Gave this place two chances but failed both tries. Definitely NOT the best wings in DC." ]

[ "Duffy's Irish pub served some of the best bar food I have had in DC. Doesn't hurt that their pitchers aren't unbelievably expensive either (20). But the real kicker here... AWESOME WINGS. No really... AWESOME WINGS -- they have been voted best wings almost every year... They come out crispy but juicy in the middle with a decent selection of flavors. As an aside, I have had some awesome wings in town but the really good ones are usually gourmet -- and a plate of 4-6 will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 bucks ~2-3 dollars per wing. I had 24 wings and paid ~1 dollar per wing. Not so bad (but yes cheaper wings do exist)\n\nI also highly recommend their tater-tots and their burgers..both were pretty delicious!", "Chesapeake wing are great but the corned beef & swiss is out of this world. Or just get the fries. No misses there.", "Coming from the Midwest, this was a pretty \"classic\" back home type of bar, with just restaurant simple seating on one side. Popped in for a late night post show drink and saw bits of the band that had just played at the Lincoln Theater stop in too. Nothing spectacular about this bar but that's also why I liked it.", "Awesome chicken wings and good beer and cider selection. In fact probably the best chicken wings I've had around DC.", "Small but good pub. My only ask would be more Irish fare on the menu. Aside from that, solid choice for a drink or a quick bite before a show at the 9:30 club.", "I love it, I suggest you to pay a visit", "I really liked Duffy's. It had classic pub food, like burgers and fish and chips, but also more eclectic items like pupusas. The owner stopped by our table and was very friendly.", "I'm pretty astounded by the service (or lack thereof) from this place tonight. In a jovial mood for St. Patrick's Day, my friend and I stopped here for dinner and drinks. Upon arrival, we were surprised at how empty the place was, but we went to put in our order at the bar. The woman there who first greeted us and gave us menus was very nice.\n\nOnce we decided on what to get, a different gentleman, mid-length hair and white button-up, was there to receive our order. He already had a look of annoyance on his face, but I chalked it up to something else. My friend went to place our decided-upon order. Apparently one of the items was out, but the gentleman said he would check if they still had it, that they had a limited menu--understandable. My friend continued to place our order in and the gentleman was increasingly obstinate and aggressive; at one point, without checking on the menu item he said he would check on, simply said, \"not going to happen.\"\n\nAgain, chalking it up to a bad day and a bad mood, we moved on with the order of food and drinks. He asked for our IDs; we obviously obliged. My friend, simply plopping his license on the wide bar counter, was accused for \"throwing\" it at him (which was not true at all). He continued to unrightfully admonish my friend as if he was being drunk and unruly (not at all; completely sober) and refused service. From my eyeline and earshot, the entire interaction seem as if he was itching to instigate some sort of verbal altercation and wanted to exercise some sort of (silly) power over a customer... it was laughable. Sorry, dude, if you don't like your job or your life, maybe do something about it? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯\n\nI don't know what was up with this guy. He evidently went into the interaction aggressively for whatever reason (it's 2019, take your toxic masculinity elsewhere), and we gladly left the place and proceeded to have a stellar experience at Kelly's Irish Times. Really glad we spent our time and money there instead.\n\nI probably should've followed my friends' advice about this place, but seeing as it was down the block from my home, I thought I'd give it a chance in the spirit of the holiday... huge mistake. Makes sense why it was so empty on such an occasion. Seeing other similar reviews, I'm affirmed that it wasn't just us. Very disappointing experience, and definitely sullied my view of this place in my neighborhood (and I hate to write bad reviews about small businesses unless it's something really atrocious). Many other, more warm and accommodating places to visit than this one on this street.\n\nEDIT: To reply to the reply, it was 100% this place, about 8:30/9:00 p.m. The live entertainment was over, and security was MIA. We were putting in our order to have in the beer garden. Rude gentleman was Caucasian with black, mid-length hair and hostility in his eyes, etc. etc. I live on H Street and know the area very well; 0% chance I've posted erroneously... kind of wish I did so I wouldn't have to write off a place in my 'hood. Oh, well.", "I absolutely love their wings.", "They claim they have the \"best chicken wings in the US.\" I would beg to differ. They were quickly made and doused in a unforgiving sauce.

It's also a nice respite from the crowded museums on the Mall and great place to exercise. A photo with the Jefferson memorial building next to the basin water is a must when visiting DC!", "Not open yet", "So much fun !! $20 for a boat for 2 People(With no time constraint!) my husband and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would suggest going after 12PM (1-4 PM) when the sun is past its highest point because it does get really hot (we went around 12:30 PM and forgot sunscreen). Also, you can get some amazing pictures in front of the congress building, bridges and Martin Luther king Jr. Memorial.\n\nIf you get hungry or thirsty there's a nice lunch spot directly next to the Paddle Boat Station. A little costly ($18 - Two hot dog combos, one combo comes with a bag of chips and a fountain drink) but we were on our way out of Washington DC after that so it was worth it :) Happy Travels!", "This is a beautiful area in DC.

The paddle boats are a lot of fun and overall it is a great walk.", "Very nice today, a couple of days before the peak of the Cherry Blossoms. Paddle boaters are beginning to take to the waters. Not too crowded yet, you can get close to the trees and get that selfie. The weekend will be crowded and parking will be a premium, good luck, if driving. Shuttle buses will provide transportation options.", "We've enjoyed doing paddle boating over the past few years, however they've decided to remove the ability to reserve a boat in advance, meaning we had a two hour wait in line before we could ride. When asked why, they simply said they didn't want to do it this year. Severely disappointed, and I would suggest skipping this attraction and take a stroll instead.", "The pedals condition is moderate.\nThis minimum rent is an hour for the pedal. It is insanely hard to keep pedaling for a whole hour. The hour costs $30. We asked to rent 30 mins and pay $15 but they refused.\nAlso, the life jackets are unclean. After people use the jacket and get sweat while using it, they return it back and someone else may use it without cleaning.", "This was an awesome experience to be out on the water! It's ideal to go in good weather, but even then you have to have really strong legs, because it is extremely exhausting to paddle boat out in the Tidal Basin. And before you go, MAKE SURE YOU RESERVE ONLINE! You can be stuck in lines for many, many hours (2-4 hours) before you can go, and so it is crucial that you reserve so you can skip the line. In addition, make sure that they are open when you want to go, because they are closed often due to weather and seasons. I highly recommend going, but it's only worth it if you do your research and planning.", "Still not open. Strange that the kayak rentals are open but not the paddle boats 😕", "It's beautiful yearround. Especially during the cherry blossoms", "Neat way to see the monuments around the tidal basin, just know that it's A LOT of paddling to make it all the way around. Great leg and cardio exercise if you're of average size, great torture device if you're tall with big feet as the seats and pedals are not adjustable. Kids are allowed, but my boys got bored quickly (ages 3 &5) as they were too short to help peddle and there was only a limited number of ducks to chase.", "It was so fun! We went at 10 am on Saturday morning and the weather was about 70 degrees. They have paddle boats for up to 4 people. Me and my mom paid 20 bucks for one hour. Worth it!", "If you're a tourist and aren't scared off by steep price tags, renting a paddle boat for one hour (note: you'll be too tired for more than hour so don't even try to get it for longer) isn't the worst idea. Per hour, it's $18 for a two person paddle boat, $30 for a four person boat, and $34 for a swan paddle boat (seriously, don't cave for this option- it's cheesy).\n\nIt's a good way to see DC's key monuments up close (the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument) and from afar (Lincoln Memorial and US Capitol) without the crowds. All you need to worry about is not peddling into other boaters.\n\nWarning: You may think it's a quick trip to the Jefferson Memorial and back to dock, but it's a longer, more exhausting trip than you think. Paddling with someone else takes a lot of communication and coordination. Be prepared to fight, but push through. By the end of the hour, your legs will be sore and ready for a break.\n\nPro-tip: If you're going to do this, go during the Cherry Blossom Festival. It's beautiful. Book months in advance as they fill up fast!\n\nHappy peddling!", "This was a great experience\n\nIt was truly a work out\n\nI only did it for my niece", "Can't wait till the pandemic is over", "It was a really cool experience.

They take requests based on a set playlist of songs that they do. Its a bit dark but still a cool atmosphere. The performers are good piano players, and pretty solid singers. Its a good time, especially after a couple drinks have you singing Journey or a 90's pop hit. Go in and have fun listening to some interesting piano renditions of popular songs.", "They have 2 piano players. The younger one is very creative and entertaining.

Piano players were fun and entertaining and bartender was great too.", "The Saturday night dueling piano show was wonderful!. They actually work together rather than duel and, in my opinion, that made it feel like a concert. All kinds of music was accessible from rap to 70s rock.

Must love music!", "Cool place, but super pricey. (Not shocking as it's Georgetown.) Always packed when I've gone. Piano players have always been pretty good. I'd recommend a visit here!", "The bar is great, bartenders are quick and friendly, awesome atmosphere and nice crowd. The younger piano player is very talented but would do better with a different partner as a second piano player. The older man who plays is very mediocre. He plays a very basic version of every song. We requested MULTIPLE songs, a cash tip with each one. We were there from 9:00 pm - 2:00 am and none of our songs were played. The older man only pays attention to the extremely drunk women who dance behind him and pay attention to him, he plays every song they want even without money. I've been to many piano bars and was excited to be at this one at first, until I stayed hours waiting for my songs that were never played. Very disappointed, this show has the potential to be a lot better than what it is currently.", "This place is straight out of a movie! Had the best night here, little bar up in Georgetown and open till late. Amazing staff and service, food was delicious and affordable. The manager Bill (I hope I got the name right) went table to table checking in on everyone making sure orders were right and food tasted great. No complaints, played 2 of my favorite songs: Piano man (duhhh piano bar lol) and November Rain, like I said dream come true. I'm from Miami and we have nooo piano bars down here. 5 stars for food and service, if I'm not mistaken the cheese and meats plate was $10!!

The piano player was had a great voice and played amazing music, however I've been to other piano bars so my expectations were really high. He was playing on a keyboard and it was only one piano player so there wasn't much dueling on the night we went (Friday). There is plenty of seating but could be a bit limiting depending on when you show up and the size of your group.", "If you visit this place, just keep in mind that their drinks taste full ice cubs.

Piano bars are a favorite night out for my husband and I so we were excited and felt we knew what to expect. The cocktail music (before 9pm) was okay, pretty mellow. The night we were there there was no duelling piano at 9pm, just a solo sing-along. He did a good job, nothing too bawdy, again mellow for a piano bar.

The conversations reverberate so much in the room that it is unbearably loud. The service was very unfriendly. Our food came 15 minutes apart. Piano was very good. But our desired song was never played although it was the 4th one in the row. The prices are very high. What surprised us in addition was the automatic tip of 20%. We come from another region, is it usual in Georgtown? Normally we can decide for ourselves how much we want to tip.", "What can I say about Georgetown Piano Bar? Well, I love it! I think it's one of the best bars in the area. I've known the staff and owners for years from back when they were down the street at the old Mr. Smith's. Spencer (Sunday to Tuesday and most Wednesdays) and Hunter (Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays) really do great on the piano and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The bartenders and waitstaff are equally friendly and always make sure your drink is full.\n\nIt can get a little busy on the weekends, especially during the school year, so I tend to come in more on the week nights when it's a bit more calm. Great place to bring your friends and enjoy some wonderful live music. If you know what you're doing and work it out with the piano players, they'll usually let you sing along! I've also hosted a few parties and events here and the owners and staff are very accommodating.\n\nOh, and don't overlook the food! It's a small menu, but the food is delicious and all freshly prepared. Surprising treat, you won't be disappointed!", "This place was ok I was expecting a karaoke bar and it was not that...

The bar tender was attentive and made drinks quite quickly. The pianist and then the two gentlemen doing the dueling pianos were very good performers. My only problem is the acoustics, when the people got loud it made it difficult to enjoy the music and difficult to even make out what songs were being played. Definitely worth the trip out to Georgetown!", "Fun atmosphere to bring friends. Really nice bartender. Good music. Some people were already getting too rowdy though at 7pm", "Exactly as described. It's a piano bar. Their drinks are cutely named after famous artists. Their drinks are well proportioned, they don't cheapout on alcohol and they don't pour too much. The staff is very polite, and the pianist is absolutely fantastic. Of course there were songs he didn't know, but he accepted and preformed most requests. He has a great voice and piano skills.\n\nPS: Even though it isn't a necessity, please tip the pianist if you request a song.", "I actually really like the place itself. The pianists were nice and fun. They played really good songs as far as we were allowed to listen.\nHowever, My wife and i had an argument with the owner Gene. We had a misunderstanding and he handled it terribly. He is the rudest bar owner I have ever seen. Real joke. While we were leaving, he called security on us, and even the security guy didn’t know what to do because we were not trying to be any difficult for anyone. Real gem with a distressed owner. Find a helper if you can’t take the heat.\nIt is a pity.", "Loved the place. Great bar service and the man who was playing the piano could really sing. Loved it.", "Good lord this place was a blast. Very friendly and competent staff, and the musicians could handle anything you threw at them. Ended up staying for 5 hours my first visit.

Highly recommended for a fun energetic couple/group who are into singing/karaoke (this is a song-along place). Not too crowded with seating, which I liked.\n\nFancy a certain song? Two piano guys take requests and play them in turns, higher tip means skip the queue :p\n\nMenu drink variety is decent. I'd imagine they can take any special request. Prices I'd say are average. Bartenders differ individually but one is very welcoming to ask, very friendly and helpful.\n\nAgain, highly recommended!", "Hunter is a consummate piano man. He I witty, talented and an all around great musician taking requests and sharing the mic for sing along or karaoke. Very cool vibe in the bar with a very interesting black stone \"water wall\" feature in the men's room that can be either freeing or guilt inducing. Prices are very good and the food and drink quality is high. The owner, Bill, comes around to each table to ensure you are having a great time. Cozy, comfortable and friendly. You will feel relaxed and at home.", "Love the live piano music here!", "Not Marie’s Crisis. Two stars because they serve alcohol and there is a piano.

Served us food without w/o napkins or utensils AND cleared the table except that we were still eating off it. Baked wing were good but the carrots/celery were skimped on /old and wilted.

I didn't order any ambiance...", "I've been visiting Georgetown Piano Bar for a while but have not had the time to review it, so here it goes. Prices at the piano bar give most Gtown competitors a run for their money quite literally, especially for top shelf drinks. The food is fantastic and prompt to arrive. The mood is always lively and the pianist make sure to Crack a joke or two keeping the people with a smile on their faces including mine. The bartenders are very fast with preparing drinks, I have never waited long for one even on crowded nights like Fridays. I highly recommend this spot for the passer by and local.", "Fun place...a bit hard to hear the music in the back, but nice crowd that likes to sing along with the music.", "Great music, fun atmosphere and people.

[ "Visited in summer 2020 and even with Covid precautions we had a great time. I was actually taking a class on encryption at the time, so getting to see real examples of historical systems was great. The kids (age 12 and 8) enjoyed the exhibits and their secret identity. Definitely worth the admission price and packed full of things you might not expect", "Top notch. Only place open during the pandemic by the way. Must see. So well done and curated. Almost all the machines don’t work right though. Needs updating. It’s running off some old system. Now you could have simple iPads and be much more reliable and actually wok.", "This is a nice museum. I went here while I was in DC and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into this museum and went up to the admissions desk, where I paid for a ticket to get in. Once I did that, I went up to the second floor of the museum, which is all about spying, surveillance, spy agencies, spy equipment, and spying through history. I looked at the exhibits, all of which were pretty good. There’s an air duct with noise sensors that you can crawl through to see how quiet you could be. I went through the air duct and I managed to get through pretty quietly. After I did that, I went through the rest of the floor. There was a model of a recorder and spy camera hidden inside a tree stump that was used by the KGB. After I looked at that and other exhibits, I went down to the first floor of the museum, which has exhibits all about James Bond. I looked through the exhibits, which were pretty nice. After I went through the hose exhibits, I left the museum, satisfied with my experience. I gave this museum five stars because it has nice exhibits.", "Amazing place to visit for adults as well as kids above 6. You could easily spend 3-4 hours and not get bored. The museum has number of exhibits that discuss history of spying all the way from 15th century to gadgets used. It also has several interactive exercises. Unlike other museums, the gift shop has some cool items for purchase that are also priced reasonable. Kids under 6 can visit for free. I can easily visit this 2 more times.", "We had a great time at the new location for the Spy museum. They really improved the range of exhibits from the old location and the kids loved the interactive exhibits. I thought they did a good job with crowd control with timed entry. The museum never felt too crowded. I would highly recommend checking it out.", "Very well put together! We learned so much there. I loved the interactive aspect with the spy scenario! Young and old will enjoy this experience!", "It was a wonderful place with tons of exhibits. My only regret is not setting more time aside.

I'm a fast reader and moved through the exhibits pretty quickly, but there is just so much to take in! Hundreds of trinkets... interactives... videos...

It will take you some TIME to get through, more than 2 hours, to really read everything and participate. We had a great time!", "This is an awesome destination. Here are a few pointers I learned (and wish I had known):\n\nThey say it should take 2 hrs.\nIt’s more like 4 if you read and play with everything.\n\nAlso, input fatigue is a thing. I ended up just watching the movies in the end and I wish I had paced better.\n\nWear good shoes. It’s all (mostly)standing. For hours.\n\nEat a hearty meal before hand. They don’t have a cafe indoors and, due to covid, all water fountains are off. Also, they don’t let you bring water in. For a 2-4 hr event. There should be a solution to this.\n\nTry to go midweek when everyone else is in school or work. I barely got to do the interactive portion because all the kids were on them.\n\nOh, and it’s freezing inside. Bring some sort of jacket to keep warm.\n\nIt’s 2 floors of dense espionage education and it’s totally worth it. I’m planning to go back. I missed half the 4th floor due to input fatigue.", "It was a great experience with COVID restrictions not very crowded. It was very informative. Not sure how busy they would be without COVID restrictions", "Almost felt threatened by the “talk” before entering by the gentleman manning the door. His “DC is serious about Covid safety and so are we” line lost all credibility when I realized they let more people in at one time than my local Trader Joe’s. In a way I’m glad we were there during Covid with their entrance restrictions. I can’t imagine how crowded it would be in a non-Covid world. My daughter and I gave up on the “mission” challenges because of the waits for our chance on the touchscreens. My son persevered however. Many of the exhibits we skipped as we seemed to be at a place in the museum with stroller families. No child in the stroller but their stroller was enjoying the front view of the exhibits while the child had moved on to the next with the non-stroller driving parent.", "Really interactive experience, and they use styluses as a COVID precaution. Awesome!", "Interesting for adults and kids. Worth a visit. It’s not just the old school spy wigs and cameras but also explores contemporary issues of cyberattacks, Snowden, etc. need to come back to finish the rest of the exhibit", "I had a horrible experience. A motorcade and reverted me from Ubering to the museum like I had planned (of course not their fault) but then after getting lost trying to take a rental bike their and having a severe panic attack because o was lost and my phone had died they would not refund my ticket I was simply informed you have forty five minutes so you can use it or not. I bought an emergency battery pack from their store for seven dollars that didn’t work at all (phone said charging and never had enough to turn back on) and I was rushed through the exhibit I was able to see by cleaning facility. The contexts were underwhelming and the experience only added to the amenity of the extenuating circumstance I had just been in. I left $35 short with a dead phone. If you’re a staying in DC longer than a few days it might be worth it if it interests you but I would definitely not make this museum a priority on your trip.", "VERY clean and spaced out timing for tours.

Great COVID-19 safety protocols.", "The employees were patient and nice and although because of COVID-19 a lot of the places I wanted to visit in the museum were closed off, I would 10/10 go agian when the pandemic is over.", "The museum itself is cool. However you can’t be one minute earlier or late than it listed on your ticket.", "I basically gave it a two for the gift shop. We go on a Saturday with a handicap person, asked where to park. But the time they told us and we went to park and came back they closed their sign to say no more tickets for the day. Granted they did let us in to view the gift shop. We come back early the next day. Nothing available till 5:45. We spend the day at the park. Come back. They made us wait in the lobby till exactly 5:45 even thou they let others in. Then they proceeded to tell us during Covid they only allow us to be there for 2 hours but then also stated we actually had an hour before closing. We get through the first level and our cards barley worked to do the activities. Then we were rushed out and not even allowed the second level because it was closing time. I basically paid full price for my cards to barley work and only get barley half the experience. Not happy.", "A great museum to take teenagers and even adults. Lots of information that makes it a bit educational. Fun activities as well so that it’s entertaining", "I did not have very high expectations of this place, but was pleasantly surprised by how fun and engaging it was. It is a great activity for a variety of ages. Exhibits were well done and the interactive activities of pretending to be a spy as you go through the museum made it all the more enjoyable. This is not designed to be a one hour run through museum, so make sure to budget at least a couple hours to go through it, even with kids. Very glad we went, and will probably go back again on our next trip to DC. I would recommend this Museum.", "Highly recommend for a vacation activity! Rated E for everyone could find this entertaining." ]

[ "I made a reservation online in advance. We made it to the museum, however, the parking attendant would not let our car into the parking lot because our standard GMC Yukon truck was \"too big\". When we asked him for alternative parking spots we were instructed to try to find parking \"on the street\". Ofcourse, there was no where to park on the street (full). Ended up not getting to go to the museum. Waste of time and money. No refund.\n\nWould've been nice to know in advance that their parking does not allow certain vehicles.", "So well done, it easily deserves its place alongside the Smithsonians. Great for children and adults. You can learn a lot from looking at other reviews, but here were my four favorite experiences: (1) A video right at the entrance of the 3rd floor describing stories of successful female spies that have recently retired (2) The team activity depicting the actual decision process of Osama Bin Laden's capture. You and a team of people look at available evidence alongside a replica of his compound and determine the likelihood that he is living at the compound, and its TOUGH! It gave me a greater appreciation for what our elected officials and service members do day-in and day-out. (3) Spy \"failures\" and why those missions failed. Not all our efforts are successful. (4) The recent spy (a US Marine I think) who was an expert lock picker. His tools displayed as artifacts are fascinating.", "Exceeded my expectations in coolness. Learned lots of new things. Expect to spend 3 to 4 hrs here if you're actually trying to scope the whole place out.", "We loved our visit to the Spy Museum. Our son said it was his favorite because of the interaction that comes with the experience. Lots of history that people might not realize. A must see!

I would recommend ages 8 or higher, but it's well run and a great value for 2 hours of fun.", "Such a great experience! It was super easy to get to from the Metro station. It's a great place for both kids and adults. I loved all the interactive activities to do. I would definitely go back again!!", "This is a positively amazing and enlightening experience. See an incredible collection of REAL artifacts with only a few very well made recreations mixed in. This educational experience spans centuries and also manages to cover events within the last four years. Hard, honest truths. Ideas spawned by necessity and from truly amazing, and some devious if not evil, minds. Wonderful. In four hours I managed to take in whole lot of information. A few days would have been even better.", "I like how interactive it is. I'm not big on simply looking at old stuff and reading a bunch of paragraphs...I get bored. So this was a cool experience that stimulated multiple senses.", "In a city full of free museum admission you have to pay to get into this one, a bummer but understandable since all museums can’t be funded. If you are not an espionage enthusiast I would pass on this one. Not to mention some of the employees we encountered were less than cordial.", "I highly recommend this as a place to enjoy interesting artifacts but with a high tech story mixed in.", "Fun times. Wasn’t as much historical artifacts as I was hoping for but fun times overall.", "Stellar museum that I managed to catch just before everything was shut down on dec 23. Worth every penny. Good gift shop.", "Great place, better than old location. Very thorough detail on various stories and even had a Cyber section with an infinity room that was pretty neat. Deducted 1 star for price ($25) plus 23$ for parking if you take note than 2 hrs (which you will, and means you can't park on the street). Don't drive here and take your time, worth the trip!", "This was very cool! I thought this was a very interesting place to visit.", "Very crowded - hard to see exhibits with the large amount of visitors. I can't imagine how difficult it is to get through everything when things are normal.", "Great time! Exhibits are interactive as you test your spy skills. Also an education throughout history; poison umbrella, listening devices in lamps and secret radio transmitters hidden in suitcases and shoes. Receive a mission brief, follow the clues left by your \"handler\", to tour final debrief." ]

You can sense the bygone victories of the Senators and Washington Football Team. Even though those years were already past when I moved to Washington DC in 2005, I watched the Nationals play in RFK. Walk-up tickets for students only cost a few bucks. I'd hand over the cash and start climbing up to the nose bleed seats. Even then it wasn't the flashiest stadium, but those were good times. Then the Nats moved to a fancy new stadium in Navy Yard and RFK became a place to cheer for DC United. I attended United's final game at RFK before they too decamped to Navy Yard. I thank RFK for years of fond memories, but this once-great stadium has fallen into disrepair and it is time to demolish it. I hope the site can be turned into something useful for the community.", "Excellent activity for a family social distancing event.

For decades, it served Washington, D.C. as a premier event space for soccer games, concerts, etc. It's a massive stadium in Hill East really close to the Stadium-Armory Metro Station on the Orange/Blue/Silver line.\n\nThe stadium itself has plenty of seating with bleachers that bounce as people cheer. There's nothing more fun when watching an intense soccer game.\n\nThere were plenty of food options inside especially ones that serve a solid pupusa. Beer is plentiful.\n\nSadly, the stadium closed a few years back. They are still trying to decide what to do with the space.", "I went here once for a nationals game - they lost by 5 in overtime.

I've never been to a game here when it's sold out so there's always tickets available and they're not expensive.", "The stadium was falling apart but there were still great concerts in the parking lots outside. My friends and I try to go to Shamrockfest every year at RFK. The stadium metro station sometimes manages the crowds well. For larger venues getting in and out of the stadium for a reasonable price is not always available. Still a 30 dollar uber charge to get a car full of people to Alexandria seemed comparatively reasonable.\nThe last rugby match I went to was missing many seats, so I moved much closer to the field. This stadium is in mild disrepair and I believe it's getting torn down to make way for a new stadium.", "Parking a car was a nightmare. There were long car lines from every direction trying to get into a single parking lot entrance. Took me an hour sitting in the car.

The bartender was awesome and knowledgeable about the massive variety of whiskeys. It was also impressive that there were whiskeys from all around the world. They have mostly high end whiskey, and some hard to find whiskey, though you will be paying for it. Overall it was enjoyable and loved trying new whiskey.

To follow that i was then told \"this is not going to work out\" on my next scheduled shift, which wasn't heart breaking at all being as though that was a side gig and i work technical assistance supporting the government.\n\nMy main concern is there health precautions for their guest and the seriousness of the matter. While training, the whole evening my trainer was coughing and sneezing in her hands. She was going to show me how to cut the table bread that is served after 4, during dinner.

She has already contaminated the bread by that point.\n\nJust wanted to share my concerns with the guest who will care about the food they are digesting because management clearly doesn't. Thank you!

Also, my \"medium\" hamburger was quite raw. I am, at least in part, to blame. \"Well done\" or \"medium well\" were options and I should have thought it through before ordering. They do have good fries. I enjoyed those.", "Awsome best burger in town great food", "Delicious breakfast with fresh ingredients! The owner was so kind and the antiques were amazing.

It’s delicious, has great decor, and elicits a certain nostalgia of the past for me. I never get disappointed coming here!

Found Ollie’s Trolley Cafe while trying to find someplace to eat after touring museums. I was excited when I saw the look of it from down the street. Walked in weird decor, but has potential! Ordered then I had to dig up cash, which I usually don’t have. No signs anywhere saying cash only.Food came very surprised very yummy. The fries were especially good. I got a bag to take them home, and overheard another customer digging for cash. Gave him 1$, so he didn’t have to not get the wonderful fries. Lol. Told the owner he needs to accept card, he said the fees were to much so he just has 2 cash machines. Well I’m not spending my extra $ for your food. I can get a burger somewhere else.", "Amazing food and customer service.", "The are open for take out.

We had burgers, fries, milkshake -- all excellent. A bit overpriced, but as compared to neighborhood suspect on par. One less star because the restaurant itself could use with a spruce -- it looks like it was decorated in 1981 and hasn't been updated since aside from the addition of red duct tape to hold up the mirrors on the walls. I appreciate the vintage decor (old popcorn machines, old games), but I think you can still get a vintage feel without keeping the vintage ceiling tiles and carpeting as well ;)", "Always an excellent burger and the Ollie's Fries are the only thing going in DC that gets my vote.", "Still a fantastic burger that is hard to beat down town. Fries are delicious too. Pricey but a great treat that is well worth it. Cash only.", "Prices on the online menu are way under the price when I got there. Ordering a big fish and fries. The online menu says the big fish is $5 and some change. But it's really $8.49. Food is good. Fries not crispy enough.", "Food Delicious!💨👀", "Glad I read reviews that said we would need cash. Food was very tasty and big portion. My wife and I probably could've split an order of fries since we each had a burger. Tables were not wiped down though and that's kind of gross. The whole family did enjoy their burgers and fries though!", "Old school feel. Every once in a while it is great to get a really greasy, delicious meal!", "Fantastic burgers if your in the district. I have visited this establishment several times and my guests and I are never disappointed. Quick service and cooked to order. Be forewarned that this is a CASH ONLY establishment. Several antique items on display to bring back the feel of yesteryear. The prices are reasonable for the area and quality of the beef used. Limited outside tables available, all seating is seat yourself. Kid friendly options.", "Great food and great service", "Amazing burgers and cheese steaks. Adorable diner and a DC landmark since 1938. A must visit for a quick bite in the capital!", "Good burgers. Very expensive. Definitely hot and fresh on a diner griddle, but nothing fancy. Expect 15 dollars per person for a step above Wendy's. Keep in mind that this is D.C., so not too many cheaper options until you're out of the city." ]

[ "The Ollieburger was amazing.. I had it medium rare with everything that came with it. No cheese but you can add it for some extra (I didn't). Bursting with flavor... Great sauce and spices. So good I wish I had taken a photo to keep in my phone just to remind me of the good memories.", "CASH-ONLY\nI thought I'd lead with that, because people often realize too late that they can't use credit cards.\nBurgers are big and fresh, pretty tasty, and maybe a tad greasy, but not overly so. Shakes are thick, but flavor choices are limited. If you DON'T want whipped cream on top of your shake, you need to tell them when you order.\nPlenty of seating, very kid friendly.", "Came here because it was raining and I wanted to get out of the rain and eat.\nHowever, no where it said that they don’t accept cards and there’s of course, a fee.\nThe burgers were way over priced, sloppy, and soggy. The drinks were too expensive for how small they are, and half of the things they say they have on they menu, they don’t actually have.\nThe table was sticky, and gross. The antiques were dusty and disgusting. And totally cluttered the place.\nJust go to Five Guys or Johnny Rockets if you want a good 50’s restaurant to go to.", "I liked the decor and food was delicious. It has the classic diner feel. Overall, cute place!", "OLLIE'S IS ALWAYS AMAZING. NEVER WILL YOU HAVE A BAD EXPERIENCE.

Not factory food.", "Best Ollie Burgers and awesome, awesome French fries. Staff is always friendly. The restaurant is filled with cool antiques.", "Once you try the burger and fries, it’s easy to overlook the outdated and unkempt interior. A bit pricey and cash-only, but the French fries and meat patties are the best and service is quick, though not fast-food quick.", "Unfortunately it still requires you pay in cash in 2020. Ground beef had little flavor beyond the grill it was cooked on. On the pricey side for a single Pattie burger, fries, and drink...", "Coming home tomorrow! Ollie's Trolley is definitely on my to do list. I've been telling the folks in Tampa about Ollie's since I got here!!\n\nWwnt to Ollie's Trolley on New Year's Eve and the food was just as awesome as I remembered!!", "Unique flavors in the heart of downtown DC. Unfortunately downtown DC makes the cost too high.", "A child hood favorite! Great food", "Food was greasy. The restaurant itself is dirty and old. It needs to be renevated and deep cleaned. There was dust on everything except the eating areas and the restaurant is cash only which is...not great in this modern era. Ollie's Trollies is a reminder of the past both solidly good and bad.", "We (myself and 3 kids) were looking for a quick burger and fries. Well they were quick and SUPER EXPENSIVE!!!! $73 for 4 burgers, 4 fries, and hot dog and 5 SMALL drinks (***$.60*** for a refill). I spent $116 at Capital Grill last night feeding the same amount of kids and including 3 appetizers.......back to my Ollies review....overall the food was good JUST VERY PRICEY!!", "It is okay, but I will not be back. It was not a welcoming place. The food was okay. I had the Reuben & Fries and my friend had the Ollie Burger and Fries plus a Soda. $30 for that plus 60 cents for a refill. I think they wanted me to clean my own table as well. I normally would. This time, I think I will let them do it. If they wanted me to do it, they should pay be 60 cents, or be nice, or . . .. nevermind, here is your 60 cents. Give me my soda and clean your own table.", "It's got that old timey feel to it, I guess still locally owned. Those burgers and fries are really different from any burger place I've been to but in a very good way. It was t to long if a wait but the menu is pricey considering I could get much more food at 5 guys down the street.\n\nStill I'd try it out just to see if you are missing anything.", "Years ago, my wife and I loved this place. It was a fun place to grab a cheap bite, and we liked the BBQ sandwich. Went back recently, and the price just isn't worth it anymore. In addition, one of the employees walked past our table and told us not to get our kid vaccinated or it would mess him up. Thanks for the advice, but I think we'll listen to doctors and scientists instead of some guy who works in a burger joint. Sad to say it, but we'll never go back.", "Indifferent borderline rude service as if you ate bothering someone was the lasting experience as well as the musty old carpet small. The antiques and music make up for some of that giving an old time charm. The food is good crispy flavorful French fries with just right spice, the lump crab cake had little filler as described and seasoned very well. Burger was cooked a nice medium (as they state is their default) with decent meat. Fish was light flaky with a crisp tasty batter.\nDecent fast food interesting atmosphere I just left wondering who pays off the health inspector (I did not see or taste anything specifically off ....but that smell).", "Menu is fairly simple, burgers, dogs fries and soda. The burgers, dogs and fries are done wright. Some of the best chili I have had. Only drawback is they only take cash.", "CASH ONLY. ATM on site. The inside definitely needs a facelift but we came here on Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seating. We were able to park our double stroller next to our booth with no problem. The burger was delicious!!! We love a good greesy cheeseburger. I thought it was a little over priced but considering its proximity to the national mall it was to be expected. Overall we enjoyed our food and would come back if in the area" ]

[ "Blues Alley is the quintessential, intimate jazz venue. A club where you can see an artist up close and personal. The only thing that’s missing is the cigarette smoke and thank God that’s not there. The food is good, drinks potent, and atmosphere conducive to a great evening out.", "One visit for up close live music in arm intimate small seating venue and your hooked. Missing this place daily", "This music is amazing! The food is not good in portion (small) and taste. Eat before coming and you'll have a great time!", "The top venue in Washington DC for seeing jazz and popular music acts. Blues Alley's intimate space places spectators in close proximity to the musicians making for an exciting and memorable experience. The food is good and the cocktails aren't stingy. My most recent visit featured the Earth, Wind, and Fire tribute band. It was an amazing show enjoyed by all.", "Loved Betty Carter.", "Probably the best blues and jazz club in DC. It is a very small place but that is the best part. No table is more than 50 ft away from the stage. In fact, we often sit right at the edge of the stage. The place is really packed almost every night, and the energy is just amazing. I have seen performers put in extra songs after songs because they were so excited by the crowd. And then the performers. This place does a really good job bringing in the top talents for the weekend. Their week night shows are good too with well chosen up and coming performers. We prefer the late show at 10pm. The 8pm show is like a warm up for the musicians.", "I enjoy the intimacy of the venue. Food is good, atmosphere is cozy and charming. The incomparable Lisa Fisher performed, she was amazing. Her voice was warm and strong. She was extremely creative with the way she sung. Loved it and would travel from NY again for sure.", "Always enjoy the shows at this venue. Never miss a Kim Waters appearance. Tonight his daughter Kayla joined him on stage to perform her song \"Zephyr \". Wonderful! I will warn the venue has tight close seating, arrive early.", "I call it the players club for real tho as in real musicians.....lol", "Honestly the best performance I've ever seen... Food for the soul no matter what genre of music you prefer. Will definitely try to see Chris Thomas King and his group again as well as visit blue alley!", "Set in an actual alley in Georgetown, Washington D.C., this is a fantastic place for a first date or an intimate evening. The tables are small allowing conversation and appreciation of the excellent food. During the shows (the first at 8pm and the second at 10pm) lights dim and conversations hush. Tables are so close to the stage it's impossible to have a bad seat or view. Three seating is first come first served. Play attention to which performance you've paid for and arrival time.", "Tables were squeezed in a little tight but jambalaya was very good and Capitol Lab Band was fabulous. Acoustics were just right. Music wasn't too loud. Will definitely look at more shows for this venue.", "Outstanding jazz venue. Valentines weekend 2020 was 1 of 1. I have over 75 reviews no reason to lie, it was amazing and worth every dollar.\n\nDrinks 9.88 out of 10.\nAtmosphere 10 out of 10\nBand 10 out of 10\nFood was good.", "It was very intimate but in true jazz club tradition. Had front row seating which was great! A little disappointed with the food. I had heard good reviews but everything I tasted lacked salt and flavor...but the desserts and drinks were good. Would definitively go back again!", "ALWAYS enjoy Blues Alley. The venue is perfect for a great, intimate night of music...sound is great, you can see the stage, you're close to the artist. There is also food and drink. Food is OK. Some things better than others and the drinks are priced as you'd expect for the circumstances, but the staff is great. Blues Alley is a family affair for my family and I often have my walker-using or at time wheel chair bound Dad with me and the staff is so fantastic about accommodating us. My 93 yr old Dad always has a great time. That is priceless for me. PS - HE really likes the food. Do try the crab cakes!", "I enjoyed myself because the closeness provided an intimate setting that created a camaraderie with fellow guests. The food and drinks were delicious! The artist was amazing! What a great experience for me!", "Worth the expense for the experience. A real hole in the wall, that will transport you to the 1950s. The food was excellent and the service was great. The music surpassed expectation. I live in PA, and I plan to make the trip again just to visit this place.", "I have a birthday tradition to come here every year to see Kim Waters. He and I share 2/24 as our life day so no matter what I plan to do I include a visit to Blues Alley to watch him and his band perform. It's a bit tight but it's perfect because it makes the place more intimate. The food is great and the drinks are always on point!!!!", "Great place, great live show atmosphere. The service was great. The show was spectacular, i came for 8pm show ended up staying for the 10pm show. I will definately be back next time i am in DC.", "Good food and GREAT music. Love the Chaise Lounge Christmas show. The servers do a fabulous job.", "Great venue! Love the collection of artists performing there. Easy parking at garage across the street.", "This was my first time at the Blues Alley Club which is quaint. The food was pretty good; but the jazz performance was fabulous. We saw Alex Bugnon and his band. I will visit again soon. It was amazing!", "Great atmosphere for a mature upscale proffessional audience. The seating is a little tight but the menu makes up for the seating inconvenience. The Waitresses are attentive and professional and friendly all at the same time. A must go to spot for great live jazz music.", "The service is terrible and it is overpriced for what you get. We went to a 10:00 show and the kitchen was closed. There is a $12 minimum and the waitress was aggressively trying the get me to buy another beer when I wasn't even half done with my first one. She was snippy about the minim when I simply asked what the policy was. She was also aggressive about the check and they didn't waste a minute after the show finished before lights went up and cleaning started. There were loud noises coming from the kitchen during an acoustic bass solo which was ridiculous. The place is a dump and needs new management. The only good thing about it was the music itself which was good despite the distractions.", "Absolutely loved it! Cozy atmosphere with amazing musicians. Was visiting from PA and happen to find this place online, Keiko Matsui was performing that night. Definitely 5 stars !", "I went to blues alley club for the first time and enjoyed myself, i never thought i could have so much fun. I will be returning very soon.

Dinner and jazz.", "This jazz club is a Washington institution rivaling the best clubs in New York, Paris and Berlin with its line-up of fine musicians, straddling all genres of jazz. A must-go experience.", "The talented artists are wonderful. The food, however, is awful and sometimes the staff are unpleasant, particularly with the seating arrangements. The spacing between the tables is too tight! The bathroom is outdated. Waiting to enter the venue while the rats roam in the alley while you stand in line makes for an unpleasant experience!", "Don't miss this place if you're a jazz fan. Seating is tight but this allows for an intimate setting that you just can't get at larger venues. Atmosphere is genuine and the artists that play here are generally amazing.", "For my very first experience going to a supper and jazz club I must say that I was not disappointed! The food was beyond delicious especially the blackened Cajun catfish 😉😋. However, the real crown Jewel of this throwback gorgeous establishment is the: musical artists that perform their music is truly an experience that you will never forget 😊. Another awesome bonus is the intimate cozy environment of Blues Alley. It feels like you have been transported into another dimension filled with sexy jazz and delectable cuisine! This place is a must go! You will never forget it!" ]

[ "I went to this place in February 2009 to see Kim Waters, and it was like the best experience EVER. Food was phenomenal, and the music was even better. I subsequently moved across and out of the country, so there was a lengthy gap to my return. Living a bit closer (almost 3 hours away), I was excited for the opportunity to go see Marcus Johnson perform on December 19th. I booked the late show because of my traveling distance. Seating seemed excessively tighter than how I remembered from 2009, but still, I was happy to be there. As the room filled, there seemed to be ONE server running from table to table, to get orders. I ordered a fried shrimp appetizer and glass of soda to get me \"started\" (so I thought). My friend hadn't had an opportunity to order anything, because the server whisked away after taking my order, before my friend could view the ONE menu that was there for us to share. She was quite troubled by the fact that she was still sitting with a single glass of water almost 30 minutes later, and no food or drink order was placed for her. The persons delivering the food to tables was not the same person taking orders. Eventually, another server came out, and we watched the newly seated people next to us get their orders taken and were actually served their entire meals before our server returned to get our dinner orders. Ultimately, my friend ordered the salmon, while I ordered the roasted chicken. BIG MISTAKE. The chicken I was served was a cold, dehydrated, hard, burnt, brick-like object, that was assumed to be chicken (the room was dark). Instead of enjoying the show which had long started, I'm distracted trying to get someone's attention to either get a manager or the server to come collect the debacle. My friend's salmon was ice cold, and she also had to wait until I was able to get the server back to say something about that. Thankfully, she was able to send her plate back for microwaving. In my case, the server informed me that the kitchen was then closed, and they had nothing left to serve me. She said I could only order dessert... which I refused. I told her I had not eaten that entire day because I was anticipating having dinner (an actual whole meal) at Blues Alley. She shrugged it off and kept on moving. Before I knew it, the entire performance was over, and I realized I didn't get to enjoy ANY portion of the show, from trying to deal with the poor service. If the seating wasn't so tight, I would have easily gotten up to chase a server or manager down... but that wasn't an option. Neither my friend or myself was ever able to get a drink refill or an offer to get any other drink. I was beyond angry, and while Marcus Johnson so graciously hung around to greet people, my anger from the disastrous night had me storming out of the door. Now I feel like I have to pay to go see Marcus perform at some other venue on a future date. Also, I should add, the show was over, and the server hadn't had the sense to return to tables to drop off checks and collect them in a timely manner. We watched her sitting in the back over in the corner with other people, seemingly having a good time with them. There was NO offer of apology, and there was never a manager to come even when I requested. I really was looking forward to going back in February to see Kim Waters again, but after this experience, I'll have to catch up with Kim elsewhere. Won't be returning to Blues Alley, and definitely won't be recommending to ANYONE.", "Great place. Fantastic jazz. Saw Arturo Sandavol who was as great as always.\n\nStaff is great and helpful.\n\nSpecial thanks to Brian and Stewart.", "Great venue. Intimate yet alive. Excellent service.

I'll definitely return.", "Go for the music and musicians. Cozy, intimate and feels like a private experience. Drinks and food are just bleh.", "The soloist (Wirtz?) was extraordinarily talented. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing. The talent was wonderful, seeing the synergy between the drummer, bassist, trumpeter, singer, and guitarist. The French onion soup was quite delicious and a soothing choice for a chilly Christmas evening. Cheese, caramelized onions, and beef broth. One of the more memorable Christmas Eves I have had in many years :)", "Love this place! Been there many times.

A true classic!", "I visited this spot to see Kirk Walhum for a friend's birthday. It was my first time seeing Kirk Walhum perform. Him and his band gave a great performance! The is a cozy spot with great music, food and drinks. The tofu veggie dish is not recommended. But the chicken caesar salad and blackened fish with beans and rice was delicious. The parking garage is average for that area. 4 stars because seating was extremely tight and the show was a little pricey to only last for one hour.", "I love this place! The music is always amazing and it’s a great experience every time. Good drinks too!", "Blues Alley is a great comfortable top notch jazz club , particularly with the closing of the Bohemian Caverns on U street. The only reason I did not give it 4 or 5 stars is the music sets are way too\no short. 55 or maybe 60 minutes most of the time. But that's all you get from most jazz clubs, at least that what I have experienced and what I've read. Blues Alley really brings in top flight talent and has done so for many years. Go and enjoy the music, appreciate it the hour goes quickly.", "Small venue but every seat has a good view of the stage. I saw Chelsey Green and the Green Project and they were awesome. Very talented! As a band they performed well but when she played her violin=black girl magic 👏🏾👐🏾! And she can sang. Her craft is genuine. Food was good. I had the pork chop dinner but I wasn't a fan of the red beans and rice. Not enough seasoning/flavor for me. And my server Myesha was nice as well. Very attentive and kind.", "Great Jazz and good food. I felt as if I slid back into history and was watching in 1920-30s. However, place is overcrowded, waiters are less hospitable, bad washroom and fear of rats" ]

[ "I warmly recommend this hotel.It is nicely positioned across the street from the Chinatown metro station. This is a great location, at walking distance to the National Mall and downtown attractions. The standard room is small and nice, perfect for two people spending a few days in the city. The hotel is very clean and the staff members are friendly. They are respecting COVID-19 regulations. You can leave your bags at the reception desk after checking out, which is nice. Note that there is no restroom in the lobby (I am not sure if this is valid only during the COVID-19 restrictions period).", "Affordable/efficient hotel, modern look, clean (but small) rooms. Very friendly staff. Nice location in Chinatown, lots to do and eat nearby. Right by Gallery North Metro station. Reduced parking rates through hotel at separate parking garage around the block. Probably best for solo travel or couples.", "This experience was perfect. Customer service was excellent. The room is small but clean and comfortable. The bed was amazingly soft and we melted into it. Great location in the middle of Chinatown and walking distance to many of the historic landmarks. Would definitely stay here again and will look out for other Mottos in other places I visit.", "Great hotel! Small sized but still fun sized. Modern room, very comfortable and quite sound proofed. The only complaint I have is listening to the air-conditioning units on the roof of the building next door and below.", "The staff were very nice and the whole place was very clean. I was surprised by the size of the room. Apparently Motto does \"travel-size\" rooms which are basically just micro rooms. I didn't really see mention of that anywhere in the booking process. The room was literally just big enough for the bed and the bathroom was a foot from the bed with a sliding divider as a \"door.\" Thankfully my friend and I didn't mind getting cozy but just be prepared for a tight fit. It makes sense why the price was cheaper than the others in the area now, I just would've liked a heads up before I booked. Otherwise, very cute hotel and it was super clean. Quick 10 minute walk from the National Mall and right in the middle of Chinatown so lots of great food.", "The hotel is very nice and valuable for the price - located in the good spot. Front desk staff are extremely helpful. They are super friendly. We found some problem during check in but Cheladi (pardon me if I spell her name wrong) handled it pretty well and professionally. Overall, we are very happy with this stay.", "Room was modern and clean and the bed was comfortable. It was however very small...the bathroom was literally one step away from the bed and was the size of a closet. The pillows were squishy to the point where I could feel the mattress through the pillow so you might want to bring your own. The hotel is right across the street from the Chinatown metro station so the location is great. This is a hotel for a single person or maybe a couple who are just looking for a room to crash for one maybe two nights. I wouldn't be comfortable staying longer because of the size of the room. The hotel is small because it's in Downtown DC and it's in between and connected to other buildings. Apart from the size of the room and the squishy pillows I liked it. I would consider staying again if I am in town and other places were booked.", "Location was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. The room had a white noise machine and came with ear plugs.

Great food and a great locations rooms are not as big as a regular hotel room but they are nice and very clean", "My husband and I love our stay at the hotel and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and ok size. The parking was a block away but a bit pricy, I think if you’ll drive a bit like 2 or 3 blocks away and you’ll find parking that is way cheaper than what they have recommended. They do have breakfast to go any order of coffee and one order of either burrito, bagel or muffin. Choose burritos for a healthier version. We will definitely come back.", "Had a great stay. Super friendly staff, rooms are sparkling clean. I also felt very safe (you can only open the front doors with your card). Location is also good - walking distance to everything.", "Micro room with standard amenities. Bedding and comfort of sleep could have been better. Helpful courteous staff.

Friendly, courteous staff. The takeout breakfast burritos were very good too.", "Like others have posted, the rooms are small but clean. I just needed a place to sleep and shower and didn't need frills so this was perfect for my needs and at a good price for the area. It is half the size but also half the price of other hotels in DC. And let's face it, rooms at nearly all DC hotels are small.\n\nThe staff were friendly and the room was very quiet. I didn't hear any noises except for a fire truck outside at 3 AM. I would definitely stay here again if I ever need to stay in DC.\n\nThe parking garage is right across the street and is a 3 minute walk. They have a coffee shop in the lobby that also sells snacks. My coffee was made fresh on the spot when I ordered it. A+ all the way.", "The hotel is nice and just what you need for a short stay but the area is pretty lively and my next door neighbor was extremely loud when I was trying to sleep.

Unfortunately I will not be back unless I am solo.", "Hotel is in a great location of Chinatown to access all the great things that DC has to offer. Rooms are pod style so VERY SMALL. If you plan to stay here, it should just be to crash after a day of exploring the city. Was disappointed in the unfriendliness of a lot of the staff we came across during our stay. Overall, a clean hotel and a good value for the price.", "LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff was super nice and friendly, and SUPER helpful. The rooms are perfect if you need somewhere comfortable to rest your head, and if you don't need tons of amenities (like a tub, but the shower was VERY nice). Literally like 20 feet away from the metro, right near a ton of nice restaurants and stores. Don't get too discouraged about the parking, there are tons of lots nearby in case you feel daunted. It's a perfect place to hang your hat and relax.\n\nConrad Hilton would be very proud to have his name on this hotel.", "The hotel was very clean and orderly. It is located right in the middle of China town so you have your choice of multiple Chinese restaurants although we did not have an opportunity to eat at one. If you want your room serviced though you have to request it one day in advance so go ahead and request it when you get there. We reserved a one queen bed room and the room size was that equivalent to that of a cruise ship if not a little smaller. Which is fine if there is just 2 of you, but the room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable and I’m picky about a bed. Parking like everywhere else is few and far between and you will have to pay to park at the parking deck across the street and is $26 a day. You can park on the street and it’s free on Saturday after 6pm until 6am Monday morning. The only area that could use improvement was the coffee shop and that is only because it doesn’t open until 8am. I am already well into my second cup by 7am so that was kinda a loose if you know what I mean. The staff was very friendly and the hotel is right in front of a subway station and bus stop." ]

Having said this, I totally recommend it.", "First time staying at this brand from Hilton. Rooms were clean, spaced comfortably and cozy for a 150sq ft space. I didn't like the lack of a fridge, because it should be a basic amenity in any hotel room. Wasn't a fan of the feather pillows, and I don't understand why hotels still have them. Ice is by request only at Front Desk. The air conditioner is too big for the room size, and for a light sleeper like myself, is too loud to keep running at night. Also, apparently the fan in the bathroom doesn't turn off?! so you hear it running all night long. Front Desk staff were a hit and miss, depending on who was working behind the desk. My biggest disappointment was the fact that I spoke to 3 different Front Desk agents, and only one (Stephen/Steven) was truly helpful on my last night, with the parking accomodations and informed me that weekend street parking was free, while everyone else forced me to park in a garage that was $27-35 a day. Definitely do your research and planning on parking before check-in, otherwise you're going to overpay for parking, when you don't have to!", "Great value, very clean, courteous staff and convenient location. I didn’t like the fact that it doesn’t offer parking." ]

I called back a few days later after noticing the additional charge, and they said it would take 2-3 business days to find the receipt. They never called back. I ended up having to complete a dispute with my bank to get my money for the additional charge— a headache to say the least. Again, the food was good, but the lack of customer service definitely deters me from returning.", "I don't really know how I feel about the whole get up and order everything yourself vibe, but the food was good. My girlfriend said that she loved the fries at least 5 times and still the next day was talking about them... Rooftop bars are always a hit. Staff just didn't seem interested my business but everyone has off days. Otherwise, cool place. $10 burgers on Monday 👌👌", "Very small and quaint establishment. I wouldn't suggest for large office parties due to the limited space. If it's just you and a few friends very nice location, food and drinks.", "Nice little trendy place across from the arena.

Convenient to the Verizon Center. Cozy ambiance and bar for a large group or catching up with friends.", "Very cool spot in China Town. The bar is multi-leveled. The best idea is to hang out on the roof but dodge the lines by going down a floor when you're ready for another beer. It's very interesting to people-watch the adjacent building as it has floor to ceiling windows.", "Today was not a good day ☹️. Rooftop service is horrible. I'm aware of the bar service policy however that should not prevent the server/bartender from being polite and ensuring utensils are provided prior to receiving my food. Unfortunately this wasn't my first time with this type of service. Sad part is it's different servers. Hopefully if I make it a third time the server on duty will be better.", "Went there for an HH with my colleagues and enjoyed the rooftop ambiance.

Res was made online and a follow up call was made to verify accommodation and a high chair. At the time of call it was all confirmed, no problem. Fast forward 4 days and now when calling to confirm cancellation text, the employee was stating the dining area isn’t open on Sundays and only the bar was. This is really poor customer service.

Perhaps it was a Friday night thing, but the music was turned up very loud even in the dining room by 6:30 when I was there, making it difficult to talk. If that isn't an issue for you, though (you want more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant) it's a good place to get a bite right in Chinatown.", "One of my favorite bars in the city. The rooftop is great, the drinks are good and the staff is very friendly. My husband and I once told the bartender we were doing research for a signature cocktail for our wedding (which was true). We wanted a gin cocktail that fit with our art deco theme. The bartender got really into the project and made us several different off menu drinks that he thought we would like.

Thanks for an awesome visit bar Deco!", "Omelette was very very good, as were the home fries. Tacos good, chicken better than steak.", "Solid 3 stars. Sat at a table waited by the bartender, on the floor below the roof. The bartender was super attentive with our little side table, but it took about 25 minutes from ordering to getting food. When it arrived, everything was good, but wasn't quite as unique or well prepared as I expected for ~$20 per main dish. Lots of good places to eat in DC. I don't regret going to bar deco, but I probably won't go there again, at least for food.", "Very cool place with an industrial feel.

They are true gems of human beings", "On a not too busy Sunday afternoon, the service was absolutely horrid. Rude bartenders knew nothing at all about their own menu or even what they were out of.

Menu selection reasonably priced. Staff was friendly.", "A little crowded. Definitely book a table before hand. Try their cocktails, they are amazing. Also good food and good service.", "Food was good, but they were busy and I think it took a while to get it out to me. Good happy hour specials. And enough vegetarian options to make it worth my while. The house wine was a great choice, and their cocktails were worth a cruise-by.", "Food was adventurous. Not liked by my husband and his meat and potatoes only co-worker. I gave a low grade because it was so loud I couldn't hear anyone at my table.

They have a wide selection of incredible Japanese cuisine and even though I've gone here lots of times already, I feel like there's always something new to try.\n\nAdmittedly, I've never dined in since they only do takeout as a health and safety precaution due to COVID-19, but I hope to by the time everything settles down.", "I just had my first experience with Momiji, via delivery. I have been eating sushi for 35 years, the first 10 with a well known certified Sushi Master, so I'm a little picky about sushi. I had only found 4 sushi places in the DMV area that I would return to eat again - and this is now the 5th.\n\nI was so happy with all of the food I ordered from Momiji today and truly enjoyed it. Although the restaurant is in DC and they delivered to me in VA even the fried oysters and takoyaki where still hot and hot and crispy. Everything was well packaged, with the hot items placed so that the heat did not ruin the sashimi and sushi items in the order. The bag was was also well sealed to ensure that the integrity of the food was maintained. The sashimi was properly sliced in the traditional manner so that the flavor of the fish was maximized. The flavor profile and creativity behind their original items I tried were also excellent. The Treasure Island could be a satifying and healthy lunch unto itself.\n\nI look forward to ordering from here again - and going in person when it's safe. My guess is that they (understandably) abbreviated their menu to ensure freshness - but there's still a great selection.

Huge portions. Slightly pricey but definitely worth it for the food. Service was awesome.", "Solid sushi spot for great high quality rolls at an extremely reasonable price! Staff is nice and quick, great no-frills option in the area.\n\nThe spicy tuna & peanut avocado rolls are my fave!", "Not good, but fun. We went for hibachi, there was only one hibachi table with 4-6 seats. The chef, bless his heart, tried his best. His tricks were definitely not what you expect from a hibachi restaurant. Hard to watch at times. The food was ok, as all hibachi food is (nothing amazing). The fun part was the awkwardness and laughs we got from the mess ups (digging eggshells out of the eggs, dropping the spatula, throwing food in our mouths and missing, etc.). I would still recommend this restaurant, the staff was nice and accommodating. I would even recommend the hibachi for a interesting time.\n\nP.S. we didn't try the sushi but it looked great, and watching them prepare it made me crave it", "The bartender Andy is phenomenal, always had great suggestions and service! MUST try the sunny girl and mango madness sushi rolls! Great experience.", "I absolutely like the dishes and customer service, excellent area right next to my house. The cashiers are always helpful. Will come visit again.", "The people here are extremely accommodating and the service is fast. I love the spicy tuna rolls!

We will be back for sure.", "Andy on the 2nd floor was a wonderful bartender. Handled a mass amount of drinks and was still able to be personable with everyone at the bar. Great food, but better service and staff.", "Fave place to get sushi. Lunch specials are ridiculously good for the pricing. Quality fish and staff is always friendly. My go to spot!", "Found this place on Google maps. Small downstairs seating area. The upstairs wasn't open when we got there. Food is good and the sushi was fresh. we got a boat for 2 and a couple of rolls. Bill was $110 for 4 people. About average for a place of this caliber. I would recommend this place.", "We got there a little after 5 on a Thursday night and it was empty upstairs at the bar. One hour later and it was packed. Good happy hour prices but the quality of the food was not great. The shumai dumplings were clearly the frozen kind and the cocktails too sweet. The service was bad - they are focused on getting you out quickly so more people can come in. The bartender even said this to a customer! I just didn't like being treated like cattle. Not worth the happy hour prices.", "Love this place, the location is a bit hidden and you get to it by the stairs going down from the side but its spacious enough from the inside, the staff is very friendly and nice and the menu is great!", "I’ve had a pleasant experience while eating both in and picking up food from momiji. It’s absolutely delicious cuisine served by friendly individuals.", "This spot always delivers. They serve fresh food for affordable pricing, there is no waiting time even when they are packed." ]

Service is extremely fast and the sushi is GOOD. Waiter even remembered after the first time that I wanted salmon rolls. They do not skimp on the fish at all and it’s very fresh. Love that they have a little convenience fridge with pocky and aloe drinks, etc. Very casual atmosphere perfect for stopping in yourself or sitting with a group! Love this place would absolutely go again!!", "When I first walked in, all I can focus on was the bad smell. Honestly, it turned me completely off. I felt hesitant to even take a bite, but I didn’t want to burden my guest walking in the cold to find another sushi place. Waiter could have had a better attitude answering questions about sushi orders. I wasn’t too impressed by the the the dragon or rainbow sushi rolls and the up charge for real crab was double what I’m used to paying. I must say— The outstanding reviews on google are definitely paid. I would not recommend.", "We went there for happy hour. The $5 rolls and $5 cocktails+$3 beers were a wonderful surprise! The rolls were delicious and very fresh, staff very attentive. Would go back and reccomend to anyone looking to have yummy sushi and drinks!", "Excellent sushi rolls, soups and tuna tataki. Exceptional service for our large party. Good place to go before a Wizards or Capitals game.", "Favorite sushi place. Prices are very reasonable if you order one of the sushi/sashimi combos, and quality food.", "Food was incredible and the y accommodate to gluten free options very well. They also have two nice floors that are decently quiet for a restaurant. The winters were very polite and were very authentic to the environment. Highly recommend coming here to eat.", "Bang for your buck. Whether it is a lunch rush, or a chill evening, Momiji maintains consistency with regard to food quality, and service. The staff are extremely polite, and knowledgeable about the food served, and the restaurant always has a welcoming atmosphere. I recommend most of the sushi, as well as the gyoza as a light appetizer. If you ever get a chance, stop by during lunch time for specials, or during mid day to 6 PM for happy hour specials.", "Don't let the outward appearance of the place fool you, the interior is beautiful! Staff were polite, though a bit hard to sort through the accent. Food came out promptly and the whole experience was enjoyable. Only reason for 4 stars is due to both of my wife's shrimp tasting \"fishy\".", "Small place with rather indifferent service. The Asian Pear \"cocktail\" was a disappointment, watery and bland. The sushi I ordered was delicious. I also enjoyed the seaweed salad.\nThe staff sat near the bar, watching an Asian video on a small screen. Nothing very special about this place, but I went there to eat sushi, not to have a memorable experience.", "Love this place so much! Been coming here for years and, time after time, I leave full & happy ☺️ fresh, delicious and fast!", "The food here is amazing and the service is super speedy. We were in and out in no time.\n\nGreat stop for a quick lunch.", "Great place for Sushi! We order the Mango Madness roll and the Valentine Roll. Both were delicious! Great service as well. They also have a habachi menu in case you don't want sushi.", "good inexpensive sushi. some creative rolls (valentine roll) but the tuna had the taste and consistency of Starkist.", "Great sushi at a reasonable price. Is more a local special then a common tourist trap. Very simple atmosphere where the foods speaks the quality.", "Horrible service، terrible food. Never ever again!\nThe waitress was rude and rushing us. Food was tasteless.", "Great value, great food. Went with coworkers and we all loved our food. I got mainly sashimi and rolls, while one person got udon soup and the other got one of the bento boxes. Not a complaint in the bunch. Will definitely be back.", "The place is in gallery place. It maybe little hard to find for some people, but they have a underground entrance. Food was really good, cheap and the portion was huge. The sushi was amazing. My friend ordered tempura. They looked amazing and my friend told me that they were fantastic. But the portions were really big. I highly recommend.", "If you can make it for happy hour, do so. The sushi is very good!", "I was planning on going to a different restaurant but didn't because the wait was too long. Was pleasantly surprised when we decided to go here instead. The sushi was excellent and despite also being very busy, the service was great and the food came out very fast." ]

[ "I like this location because its easy to get to. They have great breakfast and its always hot and fresh. I sadly do not recommend the french toast which is their newest item. It is a little on the dry side. Next time I'll go for their pancakes. Otherwise this location is nice and quiet and relaxing. Don't be afraid to stop by and enjoy the atmosphere.", "This cafe has wonderful food, a positive and friendly staff, and a clean inviting atmosphere which collectively allows for the perfect place to have a stress free meal and plan your day.\n\nMy friend and I kept coming back. First day I had their pancake plate with bacon and eggs and the next I had one of their power flats which coupled with a side of oatmeal is the perfectly sized breakfast.\n\nPrices are very good for the food you get. I felt that the quality was on par with or better than some of the more expensive locations I've eaten.\n\nDefinitely recommend if you're nearby.", "If I could put a zero star, I would. We ordered three full size breakfast, and asked for a cup of hot water (instead of ice water), I was charged a price of a cup of coffee. I’ve asked for clarification and they said, “yes, we charge for the cup”. Not about the money, but the attitude of staff is terrible. Won’t come back again.", "Visited the corner bakery cafe two years ago (from Scotland) and was welcomed by all the staff, especially Cassandra.\nWe ate every day there while on our vacation and now we're back in DC we've been almost every day again.\nAs well as having amazing food, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Cassandra is such a fun and loving person and a credit to the Corner Bakery Cafe.", "Very fancy brunch restaurant.

They are good at recognizing repeat customers and go the extra mile to take care of them.", "Classic corner bakery store where you can order some decent warm breakfast options that expand slightly past the routine sandwich. Staff bring your food to the table and bus after you leave. Good for a semi-cheap option when you are on a tight schedule", "The food was excellent. It was for the working , \"don't have time to dine\" people. The take two menu was more than enough. A good lunch at a reasonable price.", "Might just be the Corner Bakery in Chinatown but both times I've ordered I've been disappointed. The pasta had no flavor. The sandwich had the smallest amount of avocado I've ever had in a sandwich - probably 1/20 of the avocado. Although all the bakery items I've had have been very tasty and the staff is nice", "If you're staying ckose to Chinatown (W.D) you should try this place. Very good relationship cost-service.

If i wanted plain pancakes i would have ordered from ihop. Was really looking forward to trying the cinnamon french toast. Won't order from them again.", "The food is fantastic! I had the Uptown Turkey Avocado Sandwich with the DC Chicken Salad and it was delicious. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because thier customer service needs improvement. They aren't too welcoming or friendly.", "The French Toast was stale and tasted like rocks and the eggs are gross liquid carton eggs, the coffee was decent at best. Save yourself time and money and just walk down the street and pick any other store to get a better meal.", "I ordered a bacon egg panini. It was great, and not pricey. Gave me a cup for complimentary water while I waited. You can call in or order on line. Nice place!", "First time there and had the shrimp scampi linguine. Very good!

The pick two option allows to throw in whole wheat pasta with chicken for just 9.90, and you can add chicken to both for just $1, making this an up to 1300 calorie monster of goodness (I hold the cheese out).

The lady answered with a \"Yeah\" then walked away again. When I was finally able to order and received my food it was really good.

The food was delicious. Their crab cakes were very good, and the single filled us up. Their meatloaf is fantastic, very dense and savory. The kids enjoyed the kids' menu selections - big cheeseburger with fries, chicken tenders with fries and mac and cheese. They loved it!\nWe didn't order dessert, but the waiter brought out ice cream for the kids. The waiter neglected to ask if there were any allergy concerns, so my youngest with dairy allergies wasn't able to enjoy this. However, when I brought up the fact, he was very apologetic and brought us a sherbet.\nOne negative (the reason for one less star) is that we had to constantly ask for silverware as the meal progressed. Other than that, an overall pleasant experience to round out the night.", "This place hits the marks for us - can accommodate large group with kids, kids' menu (crayons & wikistiks!), variety of food options at varying price points, and a pretty decent beer list.

It would also help if the house cocktails conformed somewhat to the classic recipes or tasted good. The food is awful. Understand your kitchen's ability and make a menu that can match. If the chef really thinks these dishes are appropriate or good, find a new chef who understands available ingredients based on his/her budget. This menu is the combination of someone who clearly has a tiny budget and no understanding of how to work with it.

It does get crowded though (given the area) especially for games and after work leading to many standing around.\n\nThe food selection for happy hour is ok, but nothing special. People tend to love the pretzel with a mustardy-butter sauce, which is pretty good. Also a pretty good brunch deal on weekends.", "Great beers, ton of selection and Happy Hour is loooong.

When I told the bartender \"this is some of the worst food ive ever eaten\" he replied \"why did you order that. You should have ordered something else. The other towers are better.\" It's apparently the customers fault for trusting the food ordered is not disgusting.

Gets a little packed at the bar area before caps games but it clears out when games begin. Highly recommend.", "I ordered the spicy Thai wings and they were very dry.... not what I expected. Sauce was not spicy really it just taste like honey. The shrimp nachos were a disgusting as well. The chip was very flimsy and soggy. There was no crunch to the nacho once it arrive to the table. It was drowned in the cheese. We heard about penn commons because of the happy hour on the weekend but the margarita only had a pinch of liquor.... honestly I could not taste the liquor at all.

Did not look like she was busy. I took that as a sign to order quick stuff. So beer.

We showed up 15 minutes early for our reservation and they were able to seat us right away. But then the service was really slow. It was an hour after our reservation time before we had even ordered food (so we had been sitting there for an hour and 15 minutes). Someone who appeared to be the manager was concerned about this, but then totally disappeared. Food was ok, drinks were ok. To be fair our friend said it had never been like that before, but if there is another option I would take it." ]

Portions are a little small for the prices. A good quick eat though!\n\nCame here for some breakfast. Was going for the noodle soup but since it was a warmer day, we decided to go with the shrimp and beef rice noodles and some dumplings. The rice noodles were freshly made which was great. The pan fried dumplings were a little too greasy. We would probably get the steamed dumplings next time.\n\nThe place is tiny. Their seating is a large round table and a smaller rectangular table. Seats about maybe 8-9 people. Definitely order for take out if you can. Cash only also.", "last night was our first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the generous service, with the exceptional food and wine and with the friendly payment. We will absolutely visit there soon.", "Yummmmmmmmm\n\nJust had the beef briskey noodle soup, shrimp cheung fun (noodle crepe), and lo mai gai (chicken sticky rice wrap).\n\n1. The noodle soup was super filling! Tasty broth with a generous amount of meat. No vegetables though which I wish I could add\n2. Shrimp cheung fun was quality!\n3. Lo mai gai is my absolute favorite food, and they did it perfectly here! It was so good. I'm so happy\n\nI'm definitely coming back. Wish I discovered this sooner. Honestly thought that good chinese food didn't exist in DC, but this meal was delicious, thank you.\n\nFYI, this place accepts cash only!", "Cooked to order, you may have to wait a bit longer than anticipated, but oh so worth it. The dumplings rival that of the ones I find in China Town in NYC.", "Really hole in the wall. Only accepts cash and there are only 2 tables inside. But it’s SO GOOD!!! Beef chow fun and bbq pork buns. Do it. The best decision you can make. I don’t live in DC but I go here every time I’m in town.\n\nThe chicken fried rice is also good, as are the dumplings. I tell everyone about this simple but delicious spot. Go check it out but don’t forget cash!", "Sooooooooo good. Can only recommend coming here. Very tiny family owned business very clearly using their own family recipes to make the most delicious food. The food was so good we couldn't stop ourselves from ordering more and more and it was all absolutely delicious. Come here !!", "Noodles are amazing! Portion is very generous. Only suggestion is more flavoring in the sauce; I used a lot of chili oil to add more flavor. Would return to try the steamed buns I've heard people rave about. The fried dumplings taste like frozen ones from H Mart.", "Fantastic food, super nice staff, regularly great character. They charge affordable pricing and the food quality is excellent. Keep it up.", "I love coming here for some good simple Chinese food. Their menu is limited but haven't had anything I didn't like so far. Only issue is they close by 5pm, so have to come early.", "Really delicious food at a great price! By far the best Chinese restaurant I've been to in the area. Not much seating but perfect for takeout.", "This place is super legit. Ordered 4 different dishes, each one was slamming! The popcorn chicken was the best. Taste just like I remembered from Taiwan.", "Wooohoooo!!!!! I can't express how excited I am to have finally found a place that makes their own pork buns by hand. I have been craving them for months. These are legit! I can't wait to go back. I think it's 4.95 for three. We also had the dumplings which were amazing as the wrapping were so fresh and tender. The sticky rice is a must as well and we tried the popcorn chicken courtesy of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back!", "I had the fried pork dumplings, they were really really good. The beef noodle dish was ok, a little oil heavy and under salted, which is surprising given most Chinese-style restaurants.

We come for the fresh noodles for home cooking. Staff is always friendly.", "Delish, was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint.

Was very good!", "Got the pork bun and steamed dumplings and they were delicious!\nBUT BEWARE - they only take cash, so make sure you've got some before going in there. It's also super easy to pass by them, so look out for the Psychic sign and they're right next door.", "They only accept cash, even you spend 40 bucks there. I got upset stomach after hours of eating their food. Their food, service, cleaness. Every thing just gives you a cheap feeling. I can guess the owner doesn’t want to spend resources to improve their quality. There are other better places selling dumplings. Skip this one.", "My favorite Chinese eatery.

Being new to DC, it seems like you can't get a meal for 2 anywhere without spending $30-$40. This place has dishes under $5 and it seems like they should be charging more. Many reviews recommend takeout, but you would be doing yourself a disservice by not enjoying the food right away.", "Very clean place and excellent food", "Fantastic hole in the wall restaurant. There are a few seats, but it's more of a take out place. They dont have a large menu, instead they focus on making a few great noodle dishes.

It's all about the food.", "The portion of beef chow fun is HUGE. If you order with a side of fried pork dumplings it can feed 2 hungry adults. We ordered the beef and shrimp rice rolls in addition and we were ready to explode. It's definitely good value. Is it the best I've ever had..? Probably not but having grown up with BCF all my life, I can be picky. If you're used to Americanized Chinese takeout. This is more authentic than what you're used to." ]

This is not fancy, but it is super yummy!", "Chicken popcorn, fishball soup and steamed buns are all excellent.", "Good place but very limited seating", "Simple, no frills joint.

It's almost comparable to the food you would get in NYC Chinatown. There aren't a lot of menu options but their specialty is chow fun/churng fun, and I can see why. It's super fresh and has that perfect chewy/bouncy consistency. Not to mention, they have this sweet garlic chili sauce that's amazing and I drowned everything in it. It's sweet and tangy. The dumplings are also worth trying. The dumpling skin is super thin but enough to wrap around the abundant amount of pork filling, without ripping.\n\nThis place is great for takeout, or a quick meal. If you decide to eat there, they have one gian table, and one small table. So you're not coming here for the atmosphere - just good food.", "Perfect little hidden gem!

My wife loved her chicken sandwich and my daughter said the french toast was delicious. We got biscuits with apple butter as an appetizer and they were tender and buttery. Our server, Elvis, was excellent. He had good recommendations and was attentive. I also appreciate the non-alcoholic additions to the cocktail menu.\n\nA few dings - The place was just cold. I shouldn't have to wear my jacket while eating. We were on the second floor, far away from the door and it was chilly. Next, the bathroom smelled and looked terrible. That really just turns me off when I see that. Lastly, it definitely seemed like some of the shine of this location has worn off. I remember when this was fairly new and it was impressive. The place could use a sprucing up in general at this point. Dishes look very worn, lampshades on the table lights look dated, etc.\n\nAll that said...next time I'm with my kids around Chinatown, there's a good chance we'll stop by.", "Overpriced and underperforming.

[ "I've always loved Clyde's Chinatown. It's elegant and the food and service are exceptional. The bartenders are great, too. The cocktails are well made. The seafood happy hour is such a great idea. The seafood is fresh and the quality is amazing. There are seasonal items and menu changes/additions that don't denigrate the integrity of the regular menu or your dining experience. Some restaurants have 'chef's specials' or wide sweeping menu changes that are contrary to their aesthetic - like beef bourguignon at a pizza place. Not Clyde's. There's sports downstairs with a lively atmosphere and upstairs has a cozier feel without being restrictive and stuffy. I like the place. A lot.", "My meat loaf was very dry and didn’t have the sauce as advertised. The mashed potatoes were very stiff and clumpy. This was not what I was expecting to give to my 80 year old mother.

It's supposed to be spicy, but it isn't spicy at all, and they probably put black pepper to make it have a small hint of spice.", "My fave spot to get a burger and a Manhattan!

We picked up at 5, drove 45 minutes home and reheated per the instructions, and it really tasted as if it were set down in front of us at the restaurant. Everything was perfectly seasoned, tender, moist... just... striking. This is the best take home anything I've had. Since, ever. It ain't cheap, but I'd definitely give up three very good orders for one phenomenal meal from Maydan. I'll start cooking more at home so I can save my next order-in to be another memorable one.", "Equinox gave my partner and I one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had.

I've managed to get in several times (be flexible and don't give up-it's worth it). Maydan translates to \"a gather place\" and it is definitely a place to go with friends or family.", "New year's eve at Maydan was disappointing, to say the least. The food wad OK minus. Dinner menu (pre fix, not cheap) had 4 cold salads (4 small plates for a table of 6 adults), one main, and one desert. Most of us left the place hungry. The food was generic, non innovative, and basic. The only Shout out is to the waiting staff that was friendly and kind (yet a bit clumsy).\nI rarely write bad reviews, but this one is well deserved. Will not be back.", "We also got a seasonal special cocktail in a pitcher cause it was highly recommended, called the Casablanca Cooler! Delicious, light, flavorful. Highly recommend and easy to drink, even though it's mezcal, which many people may not like due to its smokiness. But in this case, it's drowned out by the passionfruit, pear, harissa salt.", "This place is reopened with great precautions for COVID. They test everyone's temperature before entering and plenty of space between tables outside. Great selection of vegetarian options in the prefix menu. Highly recommend", "The Maydan Thanksgiving take-out menu was one of the brightest spots during a very difficult period. This may seem over the top, but read on and you'll see why this was one of the most special and delightful experiences we had in 2020.\n\nFirst, let me say that it was clear an INCREDIBLE amount of thought and planning went into the the meal. Even other Michelin-level restaurants struggle with how to convert from dine-in to take out during COVID-19. Maydan has offered the best home dining experience we have seen, bar none, and we cannot imagine one-upping this. Each item was packaged carefully to keep well (for example, crisp ingredients and sauces separated from other items so nothing would go soggy). Each had impeccable but simple preparation instructions.\n\nSecond, the dishes themselves were absolutely stellar. The rack of lamb was some of the best we've ever tasted, as ardent lamb connoisseurs. The meat was carefully marinated and vacuum-sealed to keep it fresh, with the perfect amount of sauce and pomegranate molasses required for saucing and crusting. The cooking time was spot-on for perfect lamb. The mezze platter and dips were a positive delight, with a plethora of different Middle-Eastern delights to top the pita. The fennel salad (I think with raddichio and arugulua) was fresh, crisp, and satisfying. The accompanying brussel sprouts roasted-on-the-stalk made for a striking presentation and went down very well with their sauce. The duck confit fatayer was impeccable and had a beautiful crust.\n\nThird, the the biggest surprise was how generous the Thanksgiving portions were. It made for a true feast, and we actually managed to get at least 4 full meals for two from the order. For example, an order for two included an entire salted honey pie (a dish not to be missed!). This counts doubly when you're aware of just how hard restaurants have had to watch their budgets and food costs during these lean times. I don't know who gave the nod to these portions, but they're an absolute gem: this was a striking mark of generosity to customers, and a sign of determination to deliver value and ongoing festive delight to customers.\n\nAll and all, the Maydan Thanksgiving was a highlight for the year, and I wonder if they might consider something similar even after coronavirus perod passes? If not, then I hope someone from the Michelin guide had a chance to sample it, because I think a single Michelin Star was selling them short.", "I've eaten here once pre-COVID, once during COVID, and once as takeout. This is probably my favorite restaurant in DC. I felt very safe seated outdoors tonight. Their heaters were powerful and the servers were very COVID cautious. The courses and drink pairing were outstanding. The dips and haloumi were out of this world. The duck with sour cherries blew my mind. The lamb shank was perfectly cooked and the delicious sauces made the dish A+. The baklava had flavor but didn't hold together well so dessert left a bit to be desired, especially compared to the other courses. Cocktails and wines were excellent. I can't recommend this place enough. Please visit or do takeout, you won't regret it.", "I paid $$$ for a fixed-price Christmas Eve dinner and I couldn't be more disappointed. The food was simple, like the food that you will get in any local resturant on lunch time. Some hummus, garlic paste, carrots and lamb as the main dish. The quantity was ridiculously small... I don't know how in the world this resturant received a Michelin star. I will never come back and will recommend anyone to save the money to a better resturant.", "I ordered takeout for myself, my husband, my sister and my brother in law. Everything was amazing, all of the sides, dips and vegetables were prepared extremely well and flavorful. They also has the perfect amount of sale. We also got the lamb and whole fish. They were both fine, but the real stars of the meal were the dips and vegetables!", "Great food, and service, impossible to find parking. Valet parking is a must.", "Absolutely tremendous.

Not Amazing but def good.\nAfter that i asked our waitress what's next?\nShe said that that's it, next are our deserts.\nNeedless to say were disappointed to say, the least.\nMaydans name is known for food feasts, what we had on the table was more like a wholefoods based quick healthy dinner.\nA Michelin place, for NYE, serving us salads\nFor deserts we got Baklava.\nTwo plates with two pieces of baklava.\nThat's it.\nTea? We had to ask for it, it wasn't even offered.\nCoffee? Espressos? Never even mentioned.\nOh, you want to taste our famous Knaffe? We did not make it for tonight. Sorry.\nThat was the actual conversation between us and our waitress.\n\nTo be honest, at this point it was beyond embarrassing, we came there for the food and amazing reputations of the \"Maydan's expirience\", we left there feeling like we were ripped off.\nPlain and simple.\n\nWe remember this place better, but based on this expirience i could not recommend it to anyone.", "This was the kind of meal so amazing that it makes me question every other five star review I’ve left.\nI was with a group of three and we ordered the halumi, eggplant, swordfish, sweet potato, Aleppo lamb, tenderloin, and a bunch of dips. The swordfish was perfect, seared crispy but still buttery inside.\nThe cocktails were great, especially the not-too-sweet pistachio tree. Dessert was fine but not as outstanding as the rest of the meal.", "I told my friends about this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are appetizing and the team is generous and cooperative. Every time we eat in this place we enjoy a splendid evening. warmly recommended.", "This has to be one of the best restaurants in DC...and if you get the \"spread\" (ask when you get there) you will be happy enough to be considered giddy.....just sayin...", "Hands down...one of my best foodie experiences ever. And the Obamas were in attendance. So extra cool.", "Definitely not Michelin worthy. Food was good. Service ok. Not Michelin good.", "Overall experience was explanatory. Reservations were booked a month out, I sent an email to see if their was any openings and shortly after I received a confirmation for the date and time I requested! The staff was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was authentic and outstanding! I’ve spent a lot of time in the Middle East, North Africa etc.. I’ve experienced very few restaurants in the states that are pure as this. I will be making a reservation in April for May dinner date with the Mrs.", "We had a wonderful feast delivered for my Lebanese husband on his birthday. We practically ordered one of everything on the Tawle menu and IT WAS DELICIOUS! It was their first weekend of offering delivery through Tock using Door Dash and it was super convenient. Everything arrived warm and in sturdy containers, in portions that seemed equivalent to what you'd get at the restaurant. We missed the ambience, of course, but because our family is bigger than they could accommodate on the patio with social distancing, it was the next best option to being there in person. They were very hospitable over email while outlining our options. We have eaten here many many times, and this is simply the latest in a string of memorable meals by Maydan. Thank you to all of your staff for working through this pandemic!", "\"The Lega Tips dish (spicy beef sautéed with peppers, onions) was magnificent.\"", "So it's a bit pricey, but worth the experience. The food is very good, excellent spices and well prepared. The service is very good as well. It's more of a family style, share the dish setup. Everything we tried was great, and we had a lot of food! If you're a foodie, this is the experience to put on your list. Only other downside is that it's difficult to get a reservation, so plan ahead...", "Had an excellent anniversary dinner here the other night! Yes, I was one of the crazy people who booked a table here a month in advance and yes, I did set my alarm so I could get on right at 10 am to make the reservation.\n\nFrom the moment I walked into this place, I felt like I was out of DC and in Morocco or some other Middle Eastern place. The fire pit where they cook all the food is in full display on the bottom floor. We were seated on the second floor and started with the hummus (smoothest hummus ever!) and the bread they kept bringing out during the meal was to die for.\n\nWe also ordered the carrots, sweet potato, duck and lamb. Everything was tasty and the condiments were also really good. The tomato jam was especially delicious on the duck, which was seared perfectly.\n\nWe ordered the cheesecake for dessert which was another A+ choice.\n\nWould definitely come back. Great dining experience.", "The dinner was nothing short of an experience. Very unique and beautiful space. The hummus and eggplant spread were delicious, we tried all of the sauces. I would recommend the tenderloin over the lamb which was a little chewy. My only feedback would be that our server recommended 7-8 dishes for 2 people which was much too many. I think 4 or 5 would have been enough. Thanks!", "Maydan could not have been more amaZing\nFight for a reservation!", "We ordered takeout. Make sure you ask for utensils and napkins if you need them. We ordered the Wednesday special, and it was great. It's a lot of food, so when they say feeds 2-3, believe them!", "Has a great menu, super cool vibe, staff were very knowledgeable. The were so friendly, my server Maya was awesome!!.\nThe open grille is so cool, it attacks your senses in the best way. Sizzle smoke, aromatic flavors, flames. It is really a treat.\nCocktail menu is really nice, beautifully blended cocktails with delicate flavors.\nThe condiments were very good. The tahini was my favourite, followed by the tomato jam. The hummus is one of the best I've ever tasted anywhere. I highly recommend this restaurant. One thing I didn't like was the independent reservation on an app. That needs looked at and improved.\nOther then that Maydan is a 10 out of ten.", "Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back once they open up dining.", "The food is amazing, service was great, the outdoor seating is very socially distancing friendly", "Recommended by a couple we met in Belize on a recent vacation we were fortunate to get a reservation on Friday night at 7 pm and arrived to find a full house. Down a back alley you smell the smoke from the open fire pit before you enter through the blue door. We felt like we were in Morocco. Excellent service, cocktails and food. Unique presentations and just the right amount of spice. Ordered all the condiments as recommended by our server and each was unique and fun to try. Grilled carrots were a highlight (absolute surprise and a must try), muhamarra, lamb hummus, and duck breast were excellent and the bread was the best.", "Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the lamb is amazing... And the Arak from Ramallah is so smooth!", "Liked it okay- it was not quite up to my expectations. Expected more for price." ]

[ "Food is delicious and unique. Seriously, everything is amazing. May be a bit too hot for those who can't take spice but there's always sweet rice milk to wash the fire down. It was really hard to have the time to go pre-pandemic because they didn't take reservations and I just did not have time to kill waiting in line for hours so this take out option is great.", "I spent 2 months living in Thailand and this is as authentic as it comes. Easily one of the best Thai spots in the city. Several set courses that get increasingly more spicy but nothing overwhelming. Be prepared to get there early as seating fills up very quick. 12/10 would recommend", "We enjoy to go out. Last night we visited this fine place which friends told us about. We passed a lovely time there with high-qulity cooking and a professional stuff and a great cuisine. We put this venue in our list and we shall certainly come back very soon. We warmly recommend.", "Always an awesome experience.", "As most already know, this is one of the best spots in DC. The first time I went it was one of the most memorable meals I had in a long time. The highlights for me were the brisket, the ribs (some of the best I've had) and the crispy rice. That crispy rice is something special! I wish I had a few more of those coconut dessert things!", "This place is the real deal! The food was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely come back next time we are in DC.", "Wonderfully imaginative complexities but too much heat in the dishes. This restaurant is quite good and different. There’s no phone inside and you can’t make a reservation and you almost don’t even know what you’re walking into when you first see it. It’s a fixed menu that rotates often and the environment is very bare-bones spartan in nature.\n\nThe food is always an interesting culinary journey but my one large complaint would be that the chef tends to make things overly spicy. I like spicy food and have quite a high tolerance for the heat of most dishes ranging from Thai to West African from Korean to Indian or Liberian. But I feel like when a chef pours so much heat into their dishes, that just like the mistake of over salting or over sweetening a dish, you hide the complexities and layers of the flavors. I feel like the chef in Little Serow is an offender of this mistake. The dishes have nuances to them better than overpowered and overwhelmed by just too much spiciness. I can take a wonderful dish would you put some ghost pepper in there, for example, you don’t taste anything else but the heat. They don’t use ghost peppers there I’m only using that pepper is example because most people know it to be Very high in the charts.", "I absolutely love their dishes and service, fantastic location close to my residence. The cashiers are always very friendly. Highly recommended.", "Had a great time on our anniversary and enjoyed the creativity of the prix fixe menu! Loved that they serve local beer as well. Just wish they took reservations!", "Phenomenal food. We have been to Thailand and this food is very comparable. Starts off spicy but gets tamer as the menu progresses so be prepared. Coconut milk is a good drink to cut the spice so ask in advance. Show up early as it is first come, first serve and usually always has a line. Definitely worth the wait.", "Wow, what a pure Thai food do they serve in this tiny restaurant. We wondered why people were piling up at the doors so quickly before they even opened. So we decided to take our chance in getting a table too, and luckily we did! We got a Thai taste has we had never before at an incredibly reasonable price! An appreciation for spicy food is definitely a must, aand a nice bottle of white wine helps you recover quickly from all the spicy flavors.", "Everything was wonderful! The food was superb, the wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I love that it is a fixed menu served family style - any night I don't have to make a decision and get to try some of everything is a good night! It was a little hard to find (door is unmarked, you'd definitely need to know what you're looking for) but other than that, really great experience!", "I can tell the authentic spice was infused throughout the tasting tonight and it starts to feel a bit too much (salty and spicy) slightly over half the course. I wish there is better balance as the veges and sticky rice just couldn't do the job (oh the veges are so fresh and it tastes sweet, love it)", "It's the complex simplicity of the dishes at Little Serow that make it stand out. The food is awash with flavors and ingredients and heat that almost overwhelm your senses (in a good way), and yet you feel inspired to try and recreate your experience at home, as though all it takes are a simple kitchen and some fresh herbs and vegetables to make magic happen. Little Serow is easily one of the best restaurants in DC.", "Amazing Lao experience! Enjoyed everything about it, small and intimate venue which allowed for great service. Every single course out of the 7 was phenomenal and the waitress did a great job describing the inspiration behind it. Just a heads up, most of their dishes are very spicy, so just keep that in mind! All in all would absolutely go back and wait in the line to get a reservation (only took 15-20 minutes when I came at 5:15pm on a Tuesday).", "The food was delicious. The service was great! I highly recommend getting food here, if you're in the DC area.", "This cute little restaurant is semi-hidden in the Dupont Circle area. People line up in front of an unmarked door around 4.30pm in order to get a seat, and I have to say it's worth it! The food was so fresh and exotic, I loved to discover new flavors and try new dishes. The menu changes weekly and you never really know what you're going to taste. It is a great experience and should appeal to people willing to discover new flavors.", "I came here and it was truly amazing! Both the food and experience was awesome. It’s a set menu you and have to come early and wait in line to get a seat. It is $50 but well worth it!! The service is incredible and the flavors are intense. There is such a variety and you leave extremely full. This is a must, while in DC!!!", "Awesome experience. Could do without the waiting in line but staff was very courteous and the food was awesome. The line waiting for around 40 minutes to guarantee a 4 person table was justified I think, just watch for single people cutting and hoping no one notices, which happened to us tonight.", "OMG! So good! But I am SO full! Very reasonably priced for so much delicious food. Spring for the drink pairing if you can. Everything from an herbal house vermouth to a sweet riesling and even a beer.", "Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Been to northern Thailand and this food is exactly like the delicious meals you’d find while wandering the streets of Chiang Mai and other small adjacent towns. Looking forward to going back many times as their menu rotates weekly.\n\nBe sure to get in line around 4:45 to put your name down for dinner. We were in line by 5 and got a dinner slot at 7:30. Lots of bars nearby to drink away the wait.", "Best Thai food in DC.", "Amazing food, great atmosphere, and the staff are on top of their game. I went with a colleague. The seating was limited so we picked up a couple strangers in the line. We had a wonderful dinner, met some new people, and had an amazing night.", "7-courses of pure Thai bliss at an incredibly reasonable price! An appreciation for Spice is definitely required (and a nice bottle of white wine helps you recover quickly). Make sure you arrive 15-30 min before the restaurant opens to ensure you get a table.", "Simply amazing.....food, drink, service. Just fabulous.", "Just annoying.", "Absolutely the best Thai food I've ever had. The only downside was getting full before we could finish up.", "Excellent service, authentic and tasty food, reasonable prices - great place!!", "My appreciation for the flavor of raw cabbage came to a fore here: the raw vegetables served with the dishes complement the flavors and cleanse the palate between bites. While I was mentally prepping for numbingly spicy, the flavors were not overwhelmingly hot and were instead nuanced and delicate. The service was fabulous and there is no decision anxiety, as it is a set menu.", "Awesome food. Even better staff.", "Terrible experience for the summer “all seafood”. The food was too salty or too sweat and did not offer to change the dish. The same quantity was served for one person and two but the price was doubled.the service was not pleasant, the waitresses can not articulate. It was so loud that they had to explained each dishes if their faces almost touching the plate of food. Ambiance not as expected. We were so Koki g forward to it and it was a terrible experience", "Amazing food. Amazing service. So worth the complexity of getting in!" ]

[ "First, the chef or GM can accompany me on a visit and we can dispute this claim\n\nSecond, this place was both over priced and over rated. Over spiced food passed as Thai and the best thing was the vegetables. This place was gross. Again, I'll pay for it, please I want the owner or chef to eat with me.", "Pretty cool place. Really great rice milk and some of the dishes were a huge hit. This is see seriously spicy food and at times it got quite distracting from the actual taste of everything. Overall the staff is really great and most of the dishes are really enjoyable and interesting.", "Very good Thai fixed price dinner. Nice place for a special occasion.", "One of the best Thai meals I've ever had. Do the alcohol pairing...Hope you love spicy....", "We absolutely loved our dinner here a few weeks ago. I dig the simplicity of a tasting menu only restaurant. Got a great bottle of wine that paired perfectly with the food based on the recommendation of our server. What I respect most is how they are unapologetic about the spiciness of their food. They are good enough to warn you but you will not get a break that is not incredibly spicy. The pain was so gooooood though. Flavors were amazing all around. Recommend highly.", "Well done plates and very satisfying thai food. The restaurant is very nice and the food is even better. The spice wasn't very good in my opinion but other than that everything is good.", "This place deserves 10 stars. The dishes were super close to the ones I had in Thailand! Will definitely come back.", "An exceptional Thai dining experience. No reservations accepted. Authentic and modern takes on the deep flavors or Thailand, set in a simple, yet stylish atmosphere that never seems crowded. A romantic dinner, or good for small groups. While not inexpensive, it's definitely worth the wait.", "Get there early to get a table and be in the mood for awesome spicy Asian. So fresh and flavorful. A must visit.", "Ah, the French. The setting was elegant, the food delicious, the price relatively affordable. An old friend was in town and we feasted on the steak and roast chicken, the staff splitting half of each plate for no extra cost. I don't consider myself a steak connoisseur, but the medium rare was the best I've ever had. Also notable were the capital 'F' French fries, which were crispy with a perfect tangy kick I can't describe with justice.", "It is the WOREST dinner I have ever had. All dishes are super super super salty ... With $50+ per person, there are so many choices with much better taste. DO NOT waste your time there.", "I would actually give No instead of a star. Only come to this place when you have plenty of time. They won’t let you have the table till everyone have arrived. Ridiculous policy!! We lost the table as my friend went to find parking. The next available table would have to wait for another 1.5 hour..\n\nHope Michelin re-visit and rate this place again. Shouldn’t be include in Michelin guide!", "Went during their golden mermaid all seafood menu. Food was all very good, only critique was the sea bream was a little over done, though I cook fish rarer than most. Spice was high but very manageable and done well. Sides of veggies and sticky rice were good. Service is rate as excellent very attentive and unpretentious.", "Great creative Northern Thai cuisine! Not like the usual Thai restaurants.", "Very cool place. The food was really tasty and different to what most would know as Thai food.\nMy only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I would have liked more time in between dishes to enjoy them,it felt a little rushed", "I've been to Little Serow twice, and both times it was delicious and memorable. It is Northern Thai food, which is different than the usual Thai food we find in restaurants. It's quite spicy hot, and there isn't much coconut milk. It's almost always busy and getting a table can be a challenge. The solution I've found is to go there, give them your name and cell phone number, and then head up the block to one of the nearby bars where you settle in for a couple of drinks until Little Serow are ready for you.", "The food at Little Serrow is phenomenal! The price is reasonable for such a popular restaurant with delicious food and unlike most places in DC these days you do not leave feeling hungry! I would highly recommend this restaurant for people that love to try new and exciting dishes.", "I have been here several times and it’s always a good meal. It’s a fun atmosphere and the set menu is very good. Worth your time to visit.", "Not only was the food incredible (and so interesting!) but the service was amazing too. Last minute work threw a wrench in our timing twice, but the host was unflappable and got us in, and our fabulous waitstaff gave us some champagne to celebrate our anniversary!", "Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. While the portions are small, after 7 courses you will be full! Definitely come hungry. The food is certainly spicy so be prepared." ]

[ "The atmosphere is great, one of the few sexy dining date night restaurants I like that has a bright lit dining room. The food is good, I just wish they'd kept the crab fried rice.", "I came here today for brunch. The service was really slow. The server came back every 30 minutes and drinks took about the same amount of time to come out. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for years and I could tell that our waiter was overwhelmed. He received no help from management. The general manager came to tell us that our two hour limit was up with no warning. We explained to her that we were happy to take the check but we were very disappointed with the service. She was very dismissive and essentially told us that it was our fault for not complaining about slow service. I’ve never been to a restaurant where the general manager allowed their staff to be overwhelmed and overworked and blame their staff. I was also surprised that she blamed us for the lack of service we received. I understand that brunch can be busy, but I have never witnessed a manager blaming customers and being combative with customers about bad service. Doi Moi was one of my favorite restaurants but I don’t plan on returning to a restaurant where management throws staff and customers under the bus to make themselves look good. My interaction with the general manager was one of the most unprofessional interactions I’ve encountered. A customer saying that service was slow should not merit a scolding from the general manager. I hope that Doi Moi finds better management, their staff deserve better support.", "The food is absolutely delicious! My husband was pleasantly surprised to eat baos that tasted just like the ones he had eaten while on a trip in China.", "Ordered here for restaurant week, and it was amazing! We ordered for 5 people, and their kitchen was backed up so we had to wait longer than expected. The staff was very apologetic and gave us a gift card for our inconvenience. Once we got our order, the food was awesome and portions were huge. We will definitely be coming back soon.", "Great portions!!! I got the veggie fried rice and it was amazing!!! Plus there was so much of it I got two meals out of one! And also the chef came around to see if we enjoyed everything...like even during covid he's still coming around to tables and checking in (so cute). This will def be a place I'll come back to - the great part about it is you can do small plate style of one entree - always great to mix it up/", "Have had two great meals here. The food is wonderful (tried a couple small plates and the Banh Mi), and the drinks are great and well priced. Service has always been good, including this last time when they comped our appetizer and sent a replacement when a meat version was sent out instead of vegetarian. There is lots of outdoor seating, but it tends to fill up so it can be worth getting a reservation. This is a new favorite spot!", "Great food and unique tasty drinks. Everything was good", "I ordered seafood from this restaurant and it was horrible!! It smelled so bad!! Not recommend.", "We had to wait abt 25 mins even after having a reservation. Food was 3/10 and given the cost it’s not a place we’d return to. Waitress mistakenly billed us for 8 drinks instead of 5; she corrected after we called out. We had really good experience back in Jan’20 when food was awesome but this was our last time at Doi Moi.", "Ordered from their Restaurant Week for our anniversary, and everything was spectacular. Thanks to all the folks at doi moi!", "Ordered pho and received something that tasted like rice noodles in Campbells beef broth. Indescribably bland, like eating ramen noodles without the spice pack. If I were the CEO of a cardboard manufacturing company, I'd lawyer up and make a legal claim that Doi Moi was using our product to season their recipes. It's a veritable college-dorm dining hall level of flavor.\n\nIt's a bizarre coincidence that the priciest pho I've ever ordered ($19) is also (by far) the least flavorful I've ever had. If you go across the river, you'll find that Pho 75 is twice as flavorful, and at half the price. But you don't even need to do that! Just go to a random, hole-in-the-wall, $13-a-bowl Vietnamese place nearby! Mind-bogglingly poor food here, and pricier than similar local restaurants too! ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯", "I have been to doi moi before and have always enjoyed the food and staff. However, the manager (woman, longer hair) is one of the most hostile, unpleasant, unobliging people I genuinely have ever been around. As someone who has worked in restaurants for most of my life I could not believe the complete disregard she had for the customer. She spoke with distaste and was clearly unhappy to be a part of the restaurant and therefore seemed determined to make sure the customers had an unhappy experience as well. Even though I have always enjoyed the food here, after meeting the manager I can confidently say I will not return. I would rather bring my business somewhere that treats people with respect and kindness.", "Food is just amazing. We ordered the Banh Mi of grilled pork belly, it was absolutely delicious. The basil fried rice is also pretty good. Besides, the staff is really friendly. Strongly recommended!!!!", "Good food and cocktails. One thing I didn’t like was that the salad portion of the bone marrow dish had a huge glop of raw minced garlic disproportionally spread in it. When I took a bite, it was quite overwhelming.\n\nThe fried rice and spring rolls were good. My bahn mi sandwich (crispy fried chicken) was a little low on the chicken and the mayo was also disproportionally spread. Overall, it was delicious, but makes me weary to order certain dishes.", "Highly recommend the drunken noodle dish! Great service as well.", "I don't normally give bad reviews, but my experience here was frankly a terrible experience...\n\nI ordered Pho^ on uber eats. Their portions and taste were not as good as some other Pho places I've eaten at in DC. Food was costly - 22-25 for Pho/green beans. Broth in particular was overly sweet/lacking in nuanced taste. Also very little meat.\n\nI would recommend improving BROTH and increasing MEAT portions in the future.", "This is THE BEST Bánh mì I have ever had!! My friends got the breakfast Bánh mì and I had the pork belly Bánh mì and it was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! Highly recommend!", "Perfect ambience with good suggestions from our waiter. Sizzling dumplings were best, loved the Sause used for lemongrass chicken platter and ratatouille curry was also good. Cocktails were alright.", "Fine food. Terrible service. Good luck getting the check. Should have just left.", "Portions are small. This place has an identity crisis... is it Vietnamese or Thai? Pho is on menu but so is som tam and pad see ew... Food is very mediocre at best. We had to ask for limes and red chilies/fish sauce to make the drunken noodles taste more punchy and less sweet. The interior is nice but the loud annoying music that's all over the place ruins the vibe. Price is typical of a restaurant on 14th st trying to do slightly upscale dining. Service felt like they were trying to rush us out trying to constantly take our plates. I had to tell multiple servers we were not done yet. Just not my thing", "Awesome bottomless brunch!", "Interesting and well prepared food with attention to food allergies/sensitivity", "My group was originally planning on eating at Hanumnah but since it was only their temporary location, we wanted to eat a full meal at Doi Moi.\nWe walked in around 6 on a Saturday night while the restaurant was still extremely empty. I understand the need to reserve tables for reservations but the hostess should be able to figure out how to accommodate a walk in of 3 before later reservations. She eventually sat us despite giving us some attitude. The server took even more time greeting us while other tables around us were greeted in a timely manner. Server was not the most attentive but the service was fine. Food arrived in decent time as they were ready.\nService: 3/5\nThe food arrived in decent time even if the smaller plates arrived after some of the larger plates.\nWe ordered pork belly steamed bun, Samosas, basil fried rice, noodles, and a curry dish.

There are a lot of options and the portions are fairly large but everything I tried was really enjoyable. Nice level of spice by default, enough to make it interesting no so much it dominates the dish but they are happy to accommodate. Great outing.", "I solo dined here and had a great experience.

Went here for restaurant week and the fish curry was delicious, but everything else our table had was meh. I would go back for the fish curry, but wouldn't stray from that dish.", "5 stars for food: I'm usually very suspicious of pan-Asian restaurants but everything here was very good. The ribs were so tender they fell off the bone, the duck curry was flavorful and similarly the meat was tender, and the pig ears were a great combo of crunchy and chewy not unlike crackling.\n\n4 stars for attentiveness by staff but 1 star for whoever the white lady was who gave my friend attitude about a menu item not containing a warning about shellfish. He is deathly allergic to shellfish and when he mentioned that it's dangerous to not explicitly stated when food has shellfish she gave him a snooty \"well that's why I'm telling you now.\" Very unprofessional.", "Really unique and interesting southeast Asian food here.

The delicious that I ate were mainly of Vietnamese origin, although I’m not sure if the menu is normally like that.

[ "In DC for 3 weeks and ate out every night. This was the BEST restaurant. Incredible atmosphere. Food that was out of this world. The Executive Chef, Loris Navone, came out to briefly chat and was the most amazing host ever. Thank you for a wonderful memory for me and my family. God bless.", "Exceptional food, nice atmosphere and great service. Nice selection of hard to find bourbons. Portions are small but great flavor. Wine selection is OK. Nice bar area as well. Ignored Yelp reviews and glad I did. Yelpers are moronic.", "A nice step up from chain restaurants. Everything tasted as good as it looked. It was definitely eating art.", "Delicious fresh pasta (although their bar lunch menu no longer includes the glass of wine : ( )", "Loved it! Good menu, delicious food in a calm quiet place. Portions are just right and presented well. Very good wine list along with cocktails. Near the corner of 12th & H St.", "Food and atmosphere are great. Upscale. I do think the portions are a bit small for the price, however, which is why I didnt give 5 stars. I would go back, just not frequently. More for a special occasion for me.", "The pasta here never disappoints me. I have to disagree with the reviews that say the portion sizes are too small. I like that they aren't enormous portions. Although it is not a regular staple on the menu, I had the squid ink spaghetti on one visit and it was amazing! I have also thoroughly enjoyed the linguine with clams, and the tortellini in brown butter sauce. This is a very romantic restaurant with a great atmosphere.", "Wonderful lunch! Excellent service! We (3 generations) enjoyed ourselves immensely", "Ambiance is stellar. Food was good, but nothing to rave about. Awesome date night spot.", "This is by far the best Italian cuisine EVER! From the wine, main dishes and the dessert, it was all amazing. The decor is great and the staff is top notch. Thank you for making our time and meal such an enjoyable experience.", "Delicious food, great wine selection, and a romantic ambiance! What more can you ask for?\n\nBeen here a couple of times now and I would definitely go back. I always recommend this place to people because I've always had a good experience.\n\nThey also have valet parking, but if you're going to stay longer, there's a lot on NY avenue that's about the same price and is 24 hours.", "The food is excellent and the service on point. I was disappointed in the portion size, until I realized it allowed me room to eat dessert and, based on the quality of the dessert options, I was very pleased to have a little extra room.\n\nExcellent location for a business meeting in a upbeat but relatively quiet environment.", "Amazing place. Beautiful interior, great food, fast and friendly service. Ate here for new years eve", "Great staff. Makes you feel like you are valued from the moment you walk in until you leave.", "Food: Ordered the squid ink pasta with crab based on a friends recommendation with the Brussels sprouts salad and mozzarella (sticks?). The appetizers were seasoned well and cooked on point so that the veggies were crisp without being soggy or dry. The mozzarella came wrapped in grape leaves which gave a welcome crunch, but other may want to have the cheese on its own.", "We were served rancid olive oil. No attempt was made to apologize. Food was good but not spectacular.", "Good selection of food. Would definitely go back there again. Had to wait very long for dessert so had to get it in take away containers. The dessert portions are a bit small tho. Other than that, a good Italian experience!", "Great spot for drinks and appetizers that are authentic Italian cuisine. I recommend the cheese plate and they have a large selection of wines. The house cocktails are also great. They have space for reservations too.", "Great food! Super staff. However, the portions are REALLY small. I ordered the tortalini and there were only seven of them! Really?!? But they were really good. I could have easily had double the amount and still asked for more.", "The service here is the best I've had in the city and the food is excellent. Another hit from the Rasika people. Get the tagliatelle for sure.", "Lovely cozy environment. The dinner was spectacular as was Phari our server. Great for a date night. I can't wait to go back!", "Italian restaurant posing an unfitting modern air. Steak came out late (~30 mins) and cold. What was ordered as medium rare came out rare. Brodetto was tongue-tinglingly salty. Flavor was okay. Staff seems to be unable to handle large number of patrons. Waiters can be more attentive. Their attitude was great, but seemed to be too busy. The restaurant was about half full. Judging by the food and service, this restaurant is grossly overpriced.", "Food, service and ambiance just perfect.", "Was there for a private event - so limited wine and food menu:\n\nArugula salad was fine, nothing more that a light dressing, parmesan shavings and a few small arugula leaves.\n\nSea bass with white bean and cauliflower was well cooked and sauced, but not very memorable.\n\nThe space was cleanly designed - but the bathrooms were a bit too macabre.", "I've been to dinner at bibiana several times and it has always been excellent. Awesome Italian food and wine in a serene spot with great service. What more could you ask for? Ingredients and dishes are fresh and prepared simply. Doesn't disappoint at all.", "Cannot say enough positive things about Bibiana. Starting with the food, to the staff, and overall ambiance, this is a truly special place.", "They have very tiny portions. I have to order room service afterwards, because I feel like I haven't even had dinner. The food was alright, but not that great. Service was good, and the restaurant has a very nice design.", "Very small portions, overpriced for what you get. Very disappointed!!!! I will never, ever go back. Food tasted good, staff good... But, that's it. Lots of other places to eat... No wonder the place was empty.", "I can't speak to the food, but my old fashioned drink was not good. Nice atmosphere and great service.", "Good food great service manager Michael will take good care of you", "I went for a Restaurant Week for a meal. The food was delicious. The beets and mozzarella were quite good. The focaccia with olive oil both had nice flavors. The risotto was fabulous. The service quality was great except it was much slower than I had expected. I would have expected faster service of courses coming out. They were busy with Restaurant Week, but with less options on the menu I would have expected a quicker meal.", "Good food, good customer service.", "Excellent Service; attentive (even though I was slightly underdressed even for a Wednesday during Restaurant Week) and at your hip in a way that I thought was actually missing from a lot of DC dining in recent experience. Will be coming back sooner rather than later, this time hopefully with a tie.", "I have diatery restrictions and after several mentions of this to the waiter, he still brought me food with sauce made with dairy which is the dietary restriction he was supposed to exclude. The food portions were small and it was just ok not great by any means. I will not be back.", "great bar, super friendly staff", "Great food (portion and quality) and service", "Good place and quite for lunch. Good lunch menu with starter, main and dessert for less than 30$. Great fish, pasta and salad!", "Enjoyed a decent lunch there; group setting of 14 people in private room. Most tender chicken ever, though vegetables were salted beyond comprehension. Wait staff could use some training about Not reaching across patrons' faces to refill water, etc. ALSO, despite address on NY Avenue, the entrance is nowhere near NY Avenue. Door is at corner of 12th and H Sts NW, facing H St.", "My family and I are visiting D.C. and Osteria Bibiana was suggested to us by a friend. The food was amazing! However, the service was terrible. Our waiter never came back to our table, not once, after our order had been placed. Not to check, not to ask if we wanted another drink. We promised the kids dessert, but he never came back. I honestly felt snubbed. After realizing he wasn't coming back I took the kids outside and told the host on the way out that my husband needed the check. So disappointing:(", "I really like this place. The food is incredible, the service is unmatched and the entire restaurant staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful." ]

[ "Great restaurant week deal - 3 course lunch for $22! Surprisingly, there are more dishes on the restaurant week menu than the regular lunch menu.\n\nAs a vegetarian, the pasta was disappointing. I was bummed that most of the pasta dishes contain meat in the sauce and couldn't be easily made vegetarian. The staff told me that removing the meat would change the entire profile of the dish - which indeed was the case!\n\nThe only dish that could be made vegetarian was the spaghetti without the meatballs. The al dente spaghetti was bland and a bit boring without any veggies. Spinach, eggplant, squash would have elevated the flavor. When I asked for veggies to be added, I was politely declined.\n\nAlthough the pasta didn't fare well for me, my friend's orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage looked scrumptious! She thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.\n\nThe Tuscany soup was delicious and a stand out! It was bursting with flavor and peppered with spices, beans, and veggies. It made up for the spaghetti and saving grace of the meal.\n\nThe pumpkin pie was fun to try with toasted meringue, but preferred the creamy hazelnut panna cotta. I'm glad the desserts were included as they weren't a stand-out.\n\nThe Speciale cocktail with the in-house Rosemary Vodka, grapefruit, and lemon wasn't my favorite - not worth $14. It was a bit tart and the flavors didn't work well together. I preferred the bubbly Italian 75 with blood orange, prosecoo, and gin. Light and refreshing!\n\nGlad I came here during restaurant week to sample a variety of dishes. I would come back just for the Tuscan soup and the scrumptious bread to soak up all that rich flavor!", "A great choice of courses and intimate atmosphere to make for an excellent dining experience.", "I love this place. There's always something interesting on the menu. I had the tortellini with beef and pork in a brown butter sauce, and it was delicious. For dessert, I ordered the Affogato Al Caffe, and it was sweet with an espresso bite. Wonderful!", "Recently I had the great pleasure of being invited to lunch at Osteria Bibiana Enoteca. My companion and I were greeted warmly at the front door by a dapper and refined gentleman named Alex, who guided us to our table in the semi-secluded dining area ensconced amidst colorfully vivid murals of the town in Italy near where the talented chef, Loris, hails. One feature of a restaurant I tend to notice upon entry are the aromas; Bibiana's kitchen emitted only the finest and most enticing scents.\nSipping the restaurant's version of the French 75 - Italian style, our lovely waiter, Hoshang, presented the menus. As there were many deliciously described items from which to choose, Alex suggested we do a tasting menu. This made us breathe a bit easier knowing our luncheon fates were now safely in the capable hands of the management. The first course arrived - a deconstructed, delicate shrimp carpaccio, sprinkled with a coarse rock salt that complemented the texture of the dish swimmingly.\nOur next course paid homage to the colors of the Italians flag with a basil pesto risotto decorated with a roasted tomato sauce and a dusting of dehydrated proscuitto flakes. This last feature lent a most dynamic contrast to the softness of the rice, with each precious spoonful a grand flourish of flavors.\nAs the symphony of the feast played on, a seared swordfish nestled on a Tuscan white bean puree with eggplant caponata followed the risotto. This I believe should be a signature dish and we said as much, asking for the chef to tell him in person. Loris was able to momentarily break away from the lunch rush to visit with us. The loving exchange and easy camaraderie between Loris and Alex was apparent, with Hoshang quietly overseeing service until our final course was presented. Loris prepared his specialty, rhubarb pie with a triple butter crust accompanied by another fantastic creation - pannacotta with a strawberry consomme.\nThe wonderful luncheon experience was heightened all the more by the watchful and detail-oriented service provided by Hoshang but it was Alex's thoughtfully described origins of the dishes that had us leaving with a bravo with future encores planned for dining at Bibiana.", "Service was top-notch and the food was delicious! The cacio e pepe was very tasty and I suggest asking the server for wine pairings.", "Very salty tagliatelle, after being exchanged for another dish the only mentioning of the waiter at the the nd of the dinner was “I made sure we took it off the check”, strange setting as for an ever age 70 dollars a person cost you don’t even get a table cloth on the table. Disappointing to xperence after 5 star hotel concierge referred us there.", "Decent Italian fare though certainly not sensational. Whole roasted Bronzino has nice flavor; pastas are hit or miss. House made gelatos are better skipped. Service is solicitous and accommodating. If only the food was better.", "My favorite restaurant in DC. Exquisite food. Quite and e look elegant.", "Bibiana is a lovely gem of an Italian restaurant in between Metro Center and Chinatown. I've been here for dinner a few times, twice for Restaurant Week, and I've always enjoyed my meals. They do pasta really well, but they also do meats and seafood equally well. One of my favorite dishes is the Nero Di Seppia, with black (squid ink) spaghetti and MD jumbo lump crab, and the dish as a whole pretty much embodies the sea - it's not too salty yet still flavorful. They also do a great cheese plate that's perfect with a glass of wine at the bar. Service is always good, the wait staff is always courteous and attentive. I'd highly recommend Bibiana for a nice, quiet post-work glass of wine and antipasti, or a romantic meal.", "Great for group dinners. Excellent food and amazing service!", "This one of the many restaurants in the area serving incredibly average food for a very expensive price to a generally corporate crowd. While it's a relatively fine option for this, I wouldn't suggest it for much else.", "Okay service, good food, ridiculously small portions for the price of the food. Order the Bolognese and got like 15 pieces of pasta with it.", "Try the duck. It is delicious. The service is also very good, attentive but not pushy.", "Wonderful food and very attentive service.", "The food (gnocchi, tagliatelle, meatballs, cacio e Pepe to name a few) and service is always amazing, and the lunch at the bar is a great deal.", "My favorite Italian restaurant in DC. Exquisite cuisine. Quiet and elegant.", "Nice high end Italian.", "Amazing food, lovely ambiance. Duck agnolotti was incredible.", "My niece and her new husband came to DC last month. I live here so they invited me to dinner at Bibiana on a Saturday night Our service was excellent, the food sublime. We had a most enjoyable time. My only criticism is that the address states New York Avenue, the entrance is on E St. My Uber driver and I figured it out.", "Had salumi and cheese platters, some of the best I've had. A sophisticated wine list, for the adventurous and worth the trip." ]

[ "My boyfriend and I went here for a nice romantic dinner. We both love Italian food so we were looking forward to our reservation at Graffiato. The service was sub-par. Our waitress was very lackadaisical and didn't seem too interested in serving us. The food was just okay, lacked seasoning, which is very surprising for Italian cuisine. The presentation was really nice, the ambiance is okay, the upstairs area is so tight that it does feel some what closed in. We both got pasta which was somewhat watery? The lamb was extremely gamey. The wine was great. The bathrooms are also shared and near the kitchen which was a little interesting to me. I haven't been here for brunch but I doubt we'll be returning here.", "Pasta dishes excellent! Great depth of flavor. The portion size is small so be prepared.\n\nThe ginger spice infused drink is also excellent.\n\nThe best dish is the salmon small plate. Enchanting!\n\nThe review would have been 5 stars if it had not been the calamari appetizer. It was a piece of crap. I had better calamari at 3rd rate Italian pizzerias.", "The service was great, and the servers were very friendly! They were very helpful and happy to answer questions and serve you. The service was extra quick, and the food came fast. The food was delicious, one of the best restaurants I have been to so far in DC! Excellent place to eat! I recommend the potato gnocchi, delicious!", "We had a group of 6 and all the food was under seasoned, poorly cooked (meatballs were completely RAW!) and the service slow even though it was not a busy late affernoon. The pizzas had an odd flavor that was for lack of a better word, disgusting. My drink was supposed to be a vanilla, cantaloupe, basil frozen drink for $13 and tasted like spaghetti. I've had basil in drink and never once did it taste like that. Also the drink was maybe 3 oz (seriously...). Overall I was extremely dissatisfied. No one wanted a dessert menu, yet we all barely ate... We actually left, went to Hard Rock Cafe and ate dessert sitting outside in the rain because there were no tables. That was more enjoyable than Graffiato.", "Dinner and service was excellent. Specials were really reasonably priced. Although the plates are small, it was more than enough food. Would have liked the option of a small salad and or bread or rolls.", "I had dinner here the 3rd week they were open last year. The food and service were amazing, which was probably expected since they'd just opened. It's been more than a year and the food and service is still impeccable. Well done. If I had more space I'd eat more. If I had a higher tolerance I'd drink more.", "Enjoyed the beer selection and dining space. Food was good as well, we were a bit confused by our server professing that the dishes were meant to be shared, leaving us thinking that they were \"family style\" dishes but that was not the case. I'd still likely revisit to try some other dishes.", "Went for happy hour in a Monday and enjoyed my time. The Risotto was decent and but took a while. Overall the staff was pleasant. The menu seemed a little underwhelming however.", "The food was really good. I will definitely visit the restaurant again. The only con is the place it kind of small but we did fit comfortably. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.", "Good atmosphere, very good service. A little loud and can be tight seating. Food is tasty; would definitely come back.", "I can't say enough good things about this place. Great atmosphere and really helpful and happy staff. Everything I ate there was AMAZING. I went for dinner with small plates on Friday and went back for unlimited Brunch on Sunday morning. Both meals were excellent and I highly recommend the brunch. For dessert I had the limoncello flight and it was ice cold and lovely. Be sure to try the pepperoni sauce with some bread sticks. They are known for this sauce.", "Special thank you to GM Nick Miller. We were running a bit late for the concert and things were a little backed up. Nick got us seated and treated us very well. Food was delicious. Thanks Nick!!!", "Our waitress was unpleasant and rude. The food is fine, nothing to rave about. I wanted to see more unique dishes but everything on the menu was very typical of other similar restaurants. Overall I found it to be very average but disappointing given the positive reviews. Skip this place and head over to Birch and Barley. Although, I do enjoy the vibe/atmosphere.", "THIS IS A TAPAS RESTAURANT. They don’t advertise as such but this is not a place to have a full dining experience. They charge entree prices for tapas plates that are decent but nothing to write home about. The service was good but the menu and advertising are VERY misleading. They sitting area is also very crammed and you have almost no area to move. Overall very disappointing.", "Graffiato has great service and a great brunch. Plenty of good options and your drinks and food will be constantly filled. Can't go wrong for a good weekend brunch. Nice atmosphere.", "We had a large group, the service was outstanding. The food was decent. I had the grape- cream soda, it was not the best. The seashells pasta dish was pretty good.", "I would come back here just for the appetizers and butternut squash ravioli. Farmer's Pizza was very mediocre, but ravioli was amazing. Didn't try the dessert, maybe next visit.\n\nService was quick and efficient, staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations.", "Cool atmosphere, delicious food, and great service! All the dishes are meant to share - the calamari was fresh and melted in your mouth, the cream cheese croutons on the caesar salad were so yummy, the pastas were made from scratch and super flavorful, and our dessert was amazing! Will definitely eat here again my next time in DC!", "This was a great surprise. Food was really good. Pizza, ravioli and a salad . All great. Looking forward to getting back and trying some of the other offering. Good local micro beer options.", "Went in not knowing what to expect and what we got was fantastic. Got the veggie panouzzo with a roasted cauliflower side - both delicious and very filling. Topped it off with a warm apple cider w/hibiscus. So perfect on the cold day we stopped in.", "The food and drinks were great! Brian was our server and was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend.", "The food is delicious but the setting doesn't match. If the name essentially means graffiti, they should hire a real artist to make graphics quarterly that matches the potent, rich flavors in the food. The gnocchi was really good as well as the glazed pork belly. The caramel Gelato was really good as well. I didn't eat the cookies and milk but a pinch, however the cookie was yum. The food and service would get 4 stars, but the decor gets a 2 star. Owners may really need to reconsider this.", "Enjoyed our brunch, with reasonably priced and tasty food. Service was inexplicably terrible. My food came out much later than my friends. Restaurant was nearly deserted, and we would not have come if we had been aware of the owner's allegations.", "While the food was incredibly delicious, I have to admit that the portions were not nearly large enough - especially for the amount paid. I understand what small plates are, but $16 for pasta should result in a filling meal (it does not). Love the quality of the food, but left very unfulfilled for price.", "Pepperoni sauce is only available during dinner and one of their best items. Pizzas are good too. A little pricey but understandable since most everything is good", "Best Ceasars salad I've ever had & that is very hard to do. Gnocchi was fabulous. Desert is as good as advertised. Friendly staff. Kinda noisy, but we had no trouble conversing.", "Great service. Good location. Terrible portion sizes. The lamb was tasty, but $20 for a main course I would only just call an appetiser? $18 for a portion of pasta served in a bowl you would see in a child's play set. You'll spend a fortune to fill your belly. Avoid.", "Love the pasta here.. service is decent. Be sure to make reservations if you want a decent seat", "Pizza is the reason to visit this place. Yes so they have other foods, but their personal sized pizzas are top notch. Options for the vegetarian and the carnivore in your group. There is a large drink menu, including some original artisan sodas. Service was excellent; reservations are not required, but are helpful at the busy times. While it's not a \"cheap eat\" (a personal sized 10\"pizza will set you back $15-$19) the food is tasty which keeps me returning.", "Great lunch spot! Food was fantastic as well as the drinks. Highly rated on other websites which peaked our interest to try this place out as we were not disappointed." ]

[ "Pricey w small portions. You want bread - $4. Cheapest pasta (small portion) -$14-18. No salad...\nPork Belly - Tasty\nPizza is good but again - way over priced. Won’t go back.", "Food was amazing! The salmon was one of the best I've had. Good portions to share. Also don't miss the Brussel sprouts and gnocchi! Almost like an Italian tapas.", "DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS! Stay away from this place! The service was pathetic. The food was literally a joke; the amount, the price, and quality was that of microwaving!! We tried several of their dishes and there was not one that was even decent. You'll be better of microwaving a pizza from the store than coming here! It's took a very long time for us to get the food and they were not even busy!\nI do not know how businesses like this stay in business!! STAY AWAY from here and spend your money where it is deserved!", "Great look, good service. Dinner experience was fantastic. The food was amazing. I went there for lunch and the experience was a little disappointing. The flavors were a bit flat and the portions were very small and expensive. I dont think that was typical. The place feels very stylish.", "My first time here was to taste the pizza that came highly recommended and I wasn't disappointed - they are great. I've ventured to other options on the menu and they are equally as good - the brussel sprouts and the gnocchi are fantastic.", "Love Mike Isabella's take on classic Italian dishes. My girlfriend and I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Love the fact that everything is on smaller plates so that you can try as much as possible in one sitting. Get the Jersey Shore pizza with fried calamari, you will not be disappointed!", "Do not go here. We went out to lunch there during the Cherry Blossom festival, since it got spectacular reviews from the Washingtonian. I ordered an \"American Pie,\" which is a regular basil and tomato sauce pizza. The dough was rubbery; holding the slices was nearly impossible. The center had a pool of oil in it. It was the worst pizza that I have ever had, and I am not exaggerating. The service was terrible. Our dishes came out haphazardly. Between the time that I received my awful pizza and the time that the last person in our group received hers, at least 30 minutes passed by. And just to top this off, the meal was not cheap. As one of the members of our group said, we felt like we \"had been had.\"", "Both our pasta dishes were too salty and the pasta was under cooked. The service was very slow, even though the house wasn't full. I had to request the check multiple times before the server brought it.", "I went for Restaurant Week. The prix fixe menu included a wide variety of options, and portions were substantial but not overwhelming. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal of eggplant parm, pasta with squash, and cannoli, but nothing blew me away. I've seen the cuisine here described as comfort food, and I think that's right. Personally, at this price point I want something a little more exciting, but if you just want good versions of classic dishes, this is a solid option.", "Decent food, although pricey. Staff were nice and tentative. Menu is minimal yet extensive at the same time. Definitely a more upscale place with fancier dishes than most.", "The second floor seating area is very noisy. Even our dear waiter was struggling to shout the day's special to us. The food portions are just right.", "The brussel sprouts. Just order them and thank me later. They are the best I have ever had.", "I went for a solo dinner after work, the downstairs bar was packed and looked like a fun happy hour place. Service and food upstairs was excellent.", "I was pretty disappointed with this place. The flavors were combined in really weird ways for several of the dishes, and many of them just didn't make sense. The decor was a little difficult to figure out, and overall just not a great experience.", "Great blends of drinks with extended happy hours on Sundays. Good place to hang while waiting for the ramen place next door.", "I was disappointed at the extremely small menu available: there were two pasta dishes (spaghetti or gnocchi) and two pizzas (calamari or tomato with mozzarella) to choose from. The menu listed anchovies that I wanted to order as an appetizer, but I was informed they no longer serve anchovies. Worse, there were literally no vegetables available at all except corn on the cob which seemed to be part of a short-term popup menu. The spaghetti was served in a small portion for 14 dollars with extremely salty sauce that tasted like chef boyardee. I recommend you skip the food. This is more of a bar than a restaurant imho.", "So the order was wrong, we asked for sauce and cheese and we were done eating when we got it. The bill was wrong. Not the best service. The food was not bad once it finally came correct.", "This restaurant was very overrated and hard to consume, please don't spend $100 on a bowl of spaghetti. I had to ask for bread and it's extra money for meatballs. Now you understand my anger. The water is tap, the workers are all gingers and it scares me.", "It's been a while since I was last year, but I can still remember the meal! Took a client here and needed to impress - they loved it. Enjoyed the tasting menu and there is a spectacular champagne menu, not to mention red wine and prosecco on tap. I hope by now they have made their cocktail glasses larger; the little glasses they used were cute but a bit of an insult for the price we paid.", "Amazing and unique Italian inspired food. Service is amazing and quick too! Must go" ]

[ "This is an elegant restaurant, if you would like to impress someone is great however these were the issues I encountered.\nExtremely overpriced. Portions are not enough even if you are on a diet. We had four drinks, two appetizers, two entrees and a dessert with coffees and we were both very hungry. Check was $200 and we ended up going to a 24 hour restaurant after that. Sorry despite the elegance and great looking layout I will NOT go back.", "The food was good but a little pricey for lunch. I had the 3 course meal and thought it was a more reasonable price than my friend's single lunch plate that was only 2$ cheaper. Nice for a treat but not for everyday lunch!", "I went for restaurant week. The pumpkin soup was amazing. It's super cute and comfortable and just upscale enough, if that makes sense. Perfect for a date or a business dinner. I will definitely go back.", "Do yourself a favor and go have dessert here after an elegant dinner in the city. You won't regret it. Sit at the bar and enjoy.", "701 is elegant and friendly at the same time, and the food is delicious. If you go, ask to be in Petra's section. She will steer you right and you'll have so much fun.", "I would say it is slightly below average by Washington standards. The sprouts in the starter were good - the mains were \"so-so\" - but the chips with the burger were the worst I've ever tried in the States, really greasy and soggy, obviously cooked in oil that was no where near hot enough. The fish stew was okay although I'm sure the fish was frozen, a friedn tried the linguine and was not impressed. Good choice of beers though. Service was fairly good at the start and then tailed off, waited ages after receiving the bill and in the end had to go to the bar to pay, even though the place had quietened down. Overall pretty average, between 2 and 3 stars.", "Saw another review here bashing the place, and rated it lower than McDonald's, so had to chime in. I've eaten at 701 a few times and must say, I love it. They have the most well designed menu I've ever seen, as I wanted everything on it. The service is what you'd expect from a high end, luxury restaurant, but their prices frankly aren't. For the level of service they provide, I'm usually paying over $100 a dish. 701 averages around $30-40.\nThey also have a pre theater special that is 3 course meal for around $40 I believe.\n\nGreat place. Great menu. Great food.\nGive it a go.", "Rude, condescending service (I seriously hesitate to call it service). I would recommend trying literally anywhere else. I've never felt so poorly treated by a dining establishment (and I gave them a second chance where the service was substantially worse than the first egregious performance). I used to walk by this place, which looked lovely and is in an excellent location, and wonder why it always looked empty. Now I know.", "The atmosphere was great and the food was really good. I rated it as a 4 star as opposed to a 5 because I expected a little bit more from the food for that price, but the atmosphere was great. We loved the live jazz. We took a taxi, but if we had known about it, we would have taken advantage of the valet parking. I will definitely be returning to the restaurant the next time that I'm in D.C.", "This rating applies to a cocktail reception. Lovely space with best cocktails. Manhattans and side cars were wonderful. One excellent server named Dante. But downhill after that. Food was fair to mediocre. Crab cake app tasted more fishy than like crab. Food not really worth writing about. Perhaps dining in is better?", "Great downtown restaurant with friendly and expert staff. Good value for a high quality restaurant in DC. We have been enjoying 701 regularly for 15 years... always a favorite!", "Very nice, pleasant luncheon experience. Staff is awesome! Food is delicious!!", "Arrived at 9:00 pm., heard about the delicious food on the menu. ( we found out it is going to change for the fall season ), piano jazz playing and service. Everything was up to par w/ our waiter who gave us a description of our menu food selections when it was served. Great contemporary, upscale atmodphere.", "The service here is amazing. I felt like a queen. The food was delicious and well presented.", "Location is awful. Even though they corrected my order it was a bad experience because now i had to eat alone. I also found hair in my food. They took my food off the bill finally. Management did respond quickly.", "Delicious food served quietly and quickly. Loved the tranquil atmosphere and nice drinks.", "We came here bc some1 said they have live music here with great food. Here is the take away:\n\nToo expensive for below par food. We ordered the appetizer scallops, Atlantic Halibut w brown rice, and the steak (asked for medium). The scallops were perfect; however, $16 for 3 scallops is a bit too much. The fish came out under cooked. The steak was over cooked, too dried and grainy. We also ordered 3 drinks: blueberry juice soda (terrible taste), mixed of 3 red wine (too sour), the scorpion kiss (tasted like medicine, but I managed to finish it at the end). We paid almost $150 total and felt it’s way too pricey for the food we good. My gf also told me afterward that the waitress was kinda rolling her eyes when I ask for recommendation on drink. Anyhow, we will never come back here, nor recommend this place to anyone.", "Great spot for lunch with excellent food, service, music, and people watching. Next to the metro but still private.", "Exotic cocktails available, excellent menu. Venison is perfect. Pumpkin soup appetizer not the most flavorful and rather thin, but that seemed to be an anomaly.", "Most excellent. Superb ambience, food and service. Proper Martini.", "Had dinner here as part of a private event. Cocktails to start were all made exceptionally well. As for the meal, I had an excellent sunchoke soup to start and a tenderloin as my entree. The steak was fantastic. I wasn't blown away by the desserts--the ones I tried were tasty, just nothing special. Very nice restaurant for a catered event. Service was incredible.", "Pricing beware. Taste buds beware. Some sites say 50 per person. That's if you are eating cheap. My wife and I don't go to fancier places very often so this was a treat for her and I.\n\nPros: Amazing service. The staff made a point if keeping drinks filled and checking on us. The food was out of normal for us but we loved it. Live piano was nice.\n\nCon: Pricing online from third party sites was inaccurate. People started talking over the live piano.\n\nWe will probably be back. There are too many restaurants to try in dc. We will be recommending this place to others.", "Exceptional service and the food exceeds all expectations. The staff is phenomenal and attentative. You will not be disappointed.", "Very good food, nice restaurant but still welcomed in our sweaty group of tourist.", "Small but interesting menu. Good food, pricing consistent with fine dining in DC.", "Diane is the best bartender. Brian is gone and he was good but he would not make drinks that would slow him down. I am there a few nights a week. The new guy is not very good and he forgets orders.", "Intelligent bar tender with a lovely easy going energy that makes us feel welcome every time,we step through the door. Never miss a chance to stop by and experience the wonderful food and see our favorite barteneder, Brian", "Overall I was very disappointed with the price point for what was received. First, the lemonade was $4 had almost all ice and we were never offered a refill once. Whereas the person at our table with iced tea got like 5 or 6 refills. Kind of irked by that.\n\nFood was meh. Just nothing that got me excited. The rabbit sausage pasta was alright but all I could taste was the mustard and occasional pickled peach. None of the other flavors came through for me. The gnocchi wasn't hot enough either. Did not enjoy it due to that.\nThe elderflower parfait for dessert tasted like a basic parfait.\nOverall the food isn't bad. But at the price point it just is not worth it and the lack of refills for service force me to give it 2 stars.", "In DC for a conference. Worse dinner all week. Slow service, lobster bisque was cold, pasta dish looked like an appetizer and the steak was tough, full of gristle and fat.", "Friendly staff, wonderful ambient! And love the happy hours' drink and food!", "Elegant and quiet place for special occasions. High quality but not great quantity...", "Pretty good food. Nice ambiance. Would go back.", "Only stopped in for happy hour, but I love that there's room at the bar and its not crazy crowded like other places", "Live piano player cosy place" ]

[ "very nice place, excellent service and food", "Pricey but conveniently located near metro. Great food", "Delicious and super convenient (just outside the Metro entrance).", "701 is a tourist trap to snare unsuspecting folks who don't know where to find fine dining in DC or, more often, those exploring fine dining for the first time. This place isn't that bad, but with the posh atmosphere they're clearly trying to create, you should expect better. If you think Morton's steakhouse is great, you'll really like 701.\n\nThe service is attentive, but more annoying than helpful. It's like they took Applebee's servers and put a white apron on them. The food is presented well, and the chef is technically competent, but nothing wows, especially the buttermilk panna cotta - If you want Jell-O, join a Mormon potluck.\n\nIf you want fine dining, Central is better and it's two blocks up Penn after you pass the J Edgar Hoover building. If French is not your style, Old Ebbit Grill is a wonderful \"American\" experience.", "Everyone loved their food, and the staff was wonderful.", "Classy, excellent service, & my meal was delicious.", "Nice atmosphere...staff could have been a little more attentive.", "Classic and delicious, service is impeccably.", "We went on Valentine's day so this place was fully booked, but I have to say it didn't feel crowded at all. 701 has a beautiful interior with plenty of spacing between customers. Aside from the décor, live jazz music, and a very animated & helpful waiter, we had the most amazing meal. I highly recommend trying the foie gras or the duck breast with rice flour donut balls. If you do decide to go, be ready to shell out a bit as it's not cheap for the experience.", "Consistently underwhelmed by menu and plates. Just misses. Work in the building and its convenient but not worth it. Too bad.", "I was here for New Year's, everything was great, it was a great family environment, they have a good selection of drinks and the food was pretty good.", "Great service and very good and reasonably priced.", "Romantic dining with jazz and great wine list. Less $$ than expected", "Their server's knowledge increased the experience, made them stand out", "The restaurant is rather tiny and the food options not as vast as I would hope. The service is friendly and the cocktails are well made, but the experience wasn't memorable enough to return again.", "Frank my waiter was amazing and my chef, Stephen who was kind enough to come to my table did an excellent job with my food.", "Chef is anazing. Great drinks!", "I came here for DC Restaurant Week 2014 with a small group, so obviously I was limited to Chef Lambert's prix-fixe menu. It's a nice restaurant, although a bit dim inside - not ideal for lunches on sunny days but good for evening dates.\n\nFor my first course, I went with the shrimp ceviche in a tomatillo-cilantro broth, alongside watermelon and pickled anaheim chiles. Light, not too filling. For my entree, I ordered the Norwegian salmon with quinoa and charred cucumber salsa in a tomato-tamarind sauce. Salmon was cooked to my liking (medium). For dessert, I had the bread pudding with vanilla anglaise. All in all, I thought the food was good although not unique or exceptional enough for 4 stars. I think non-Restaurant Week may be a little better, as there are more interesting items.\n\nThe service, however, was top notch. Our server was very friendly. He went through all the items on the menu and recommended his top dishes. Our food came out promptly. One of the girls wanted a second beer, but unfortunately they ran out so our server gave her a similar beer free of charge, to make up for the inconvenience. Whenever one of us left to go use the restroom, someone would come by and fold napkins. After our entree, our server gave us all champagne on the house. It felt like everyone was bending over backwards trying to accommodate us. Also prior to dinner, I made several requests via phone and they warmly accepted all these requests.\n\nIt's right next to the Archives metro station and just two blocks from the Mall.", "Excellent food and service.", "Great eats, private dining." ]

Boardwalk is fantastic.", "Potomac Heritage Trail was beautiful, well maintained and challenging, with rock scrambles and shallow water crossings.", "Great place right in the city to feel like you've gotten out of the city. Can be busy so early or weekdays usually best.", "Great place to walk, especially if you bring your dog. Parking can be limited, but be patient and you'll get a spot within 15 minutes.", "Really easy hike, lots of paths, great nature close to city feel. Nice boardwalk and pet friendly.", "Washington DC gem! Never expected a monument stationed on a natural island in DC. Serene and nice place to walk around. Would recommend checking out.", "Easy walking, plus informative signage and unexpected statuary make this a fun visit. Plus, there are some great views of Georgetown if you make it to the water's edge!", "Easy get away from DC into a nice natural setting. Lovely kind of ramshackle island with a small memorial to Teddy R", "I continue to be amazed how many people in DC have no idea this big island full of running trails and wilderness is so close. Be fairwarned, you can still hear the city noise and planes overhead when there's no leaves on the trees, but what other forest can you ride the metro to? I love the walkway on the back side of the island, it always reminded me of the old computer game Myst.", "Great Park, nice trails", "Nice island, but they need to upkeep the grounds better and restore it to it's former glory. Also, the rest stations look like they haven't been cleaned in years.", "Beautiful year round. Many kayakers around in the summer", "This is a great place for a quiet hike. I've driven past for years, and never taken the time to stop. It's my guess that most people don't because this is one place around DC where I've felt like I was in a national park out west. I could walk for long stretches without seeing or hearing another person. The colossal Teddy Roosevelt statue, bracketed by huge fountains and stone plinths carved with his thoughts on nature, democracy, youth, and more in the memorial at the center of the island is quite a sight to see. As you approach, it emerges from the forest like a relic of a lost civilization. Highly recommended.", "Great for a walk with the kiddos", "I love going here and feel like I don't go enough. It's a great escape from DC life. As you're walking around the island, it really feels as if you're miles away from civilization. It's very relaxing.", "Easy trail, with informative signs about local plants, animals, and history.", "Great place to see some nature in the middle of the city, and it's typically not crowded so a great place to escape the crowds.", "Amazing park for picnics, hiking, and runs. Right next door to Potomac Heritage trail as well. If you go very early in the morning, you can even see some stunning deer running through the green tunnels", "Peaceful place in the heart of Dc", "Beautiful tribute to a very good President. The fountains appeared to need repairs. Well worth the visit, access difficult! Parking right but ample, a short walk thru the trees.", "Love the tranquility, greenery, and trails.", "One of my favorite places in/around DC! A great little escape into nature from the bustling city", "Wonderful spot for birding and easily accessible.", "A neat little respite in the middle of all this. Walk the boardwalk, take the forest path, step down to the shore and touch the water. And then, happen upon a clearing with an incredible... surprise (I won't spoil it but it is befitting the island's namesake).\n\nWatch out for the poison ivy (stay on the path), and parking gets tight at peak hours (be patient) , but it is worth figuring out the access from GW Parkway northbound only to get there!", "What a cool place to get some nature right in the middle of an urban area. Parking is tight as you have to wait in line do get a spot when it's busy, but the island itself is really nice, definitely recommend checking it out", "This park is fun to walk through. It's a great woodland park experience right in DC. It's great for taking your kids on nature walks.", "Probably the least known and least visited US presidential memorial. A short walk, and a big payoff. In my opinion, one of the best monuments in the country.", "Love this place. It’s got forest, swamp, shoreline, it’s a neat little adventure. My son loves dressing like a pirate and looking for treasure there.\n\nThe memorial itself is very well done.\n\nParking is non-existent at times. Be prepared to wait.", "favorite place to start my weekend long runs... warning: if u r not an early riser then finding parking can be hard", "I really liked this island. Located between Arlington and D.C. it somehow seems like it is a hidden gem. There are absolutely amazing running trails - if I lived closer by I would use them every day. I also liked the Theodore R. monuments. Again, they seemed almost hidden, but between the trees they looked very grand and imposing. Very cool - certainly go here.", "A great spot that's off the beaten trail and often overlooked as a tourist destination. Very accessible by bike, car, or kayak and worth the trip for DC residents looking for something different than beer gardens or farmers markets on the weekends (nothing wrong with those, but we all like a change of pace once in awhile!).", "Best place to hike in the DC area. The trail is well maintained. Many wildlives can be observed.", "Nice statue of his dog too. Right in the Tidal Basin though. Which is great", "Best short hike and secluded picnic area in DC. The parking lot is small and can fill up quickly on weekends but the island is rather small so IMO this is a positive.\nIt’s also dog friendly!! 🐕 🐶 There are poop bags available (still bring your own 😉) and although it says the dogs must stay on leash I regularly let them run free and have never had an issue (if your pups come immediately when called you’ll be fine).", "As far as monuments in DC goes, this is quite a unique experience in a good way. The island presents different views of DC as you follow its trails. The island provides family friendly, fun and educational exploration.", "One of my favorite shorter hikes in the DC area! The entire island is about 1 1/2 miles around, with free parking and seasonal restrooms available. There is no nature center and no playground. The statue in the middle of Roosevelt is huge, and the quotations are inspiring and perfect for the natural surroundings. The hike is very easy and covers marshland and some forest. I always see several bird species and interesting plant life when I hike here - it's a lovely respite from the craziness of the city and a great place to bring visiting tourists!", "Really enjoyed the parkrun here while visiting the city.", "Sometimes it gets muddy, there's only one bathroom on the island, there's constant car and plane noise. But it still manages to be a place worth a weekend hike (with or without the kids and/or dogs). It's nice to have a bit of nature so close to the city.", "Really nice place for a long walk", "Great place to take a walk or to run through the trails.", "When my husband suggested we go to this island, I looked out my car window at this dreary looking place and said \"Are you crazy?\" But I was the crazy one. This island is a hidden treasure. My son loves to run wild, like a crazy child, and this island definitely catered to him with some educational information thrown in to coat his academic taste buds. I will go back here a lot. Great for families.", "Great place for a hike", "one of my favorite place to go walking, parking is limited but if you wait a little you can have one.\navoid after rain trail gonna be muddy\nnice picture spot too.", "Great park with well manicured trails. Great for all ages and leashed pets.", "A great place to take the kids and let them run off some energy. The trails are great and the monuments are even better.", "Wonderful memorial design. Very soggy as trails become flooded after heavy rain. Annoying jets overhead when it aligns with national airport flight path. Worth checking out! Be careful pulling into the parking lot.", "Beautiful park, limited parking. The trails are well maintained, and will take you around the island. There are bathrooms on the island, and a nice memorial area where you can relax and enjoy nature." ]

[ "Theodore Roosevelt Island is a great get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The parking there has a little to be desired on a nice day and may be difficult to find a spot but well worth the effort. Just walking across the bridge and stopping to watch the flow of the river is refreshing in its own little way. There's plenty of trails and it's worth taking a picture of the map when you get on the other side of the river so you can judge how much time you want to spend. At the top of the island is the monument of Teddy Roosevelt along with a number of his quotes inscribed in Granite. Very peaceful.", "Always a favorite walk. Away from the crowds, nice and shady. Some natural and a bafflingly hidden but large monument that is often peaceful.", "Great place to walk during the heat of summer. Nice and shaded. Water and restrooms on site. Lots of small wildlife. There is a lot of poison ivy off of the trails, but we shouldn't be going off trail. Great place to find rare Pokemon.", "Parking can be difficult. Nice get away in the big city - but LOTS of others feel the same way. It can be super crowded at times. And there are sometimes a-holes who dont lease their dogs that run up to my leased dog (which isn't welcomed) and those who dont think it is necessary to clean up after them either. I love that I can take my dog there, responsibly- wished others had the same respect tho.", "Hidden island in the middle of the Potomac. Shaded trails and fountains. Also home to a resident family of deer.", "Such a surprising nature escape right outside the city. We've come many times of year and all have been enjoyable in their own way. Tends not to be crowded, although it can be hard to get a parking space on really nice days.", "Tranquil and away from the bustle of the city, precisely as Teddy would have wanted it. Perfect size+terrain for an afternoon walk.", "Love coming here for a run or hike!", "An island forest by the Potomac within Washington DC. We can reach there by foot bridge from Washington Memorial Parkway. Bicycles and cars not allowed. For those who love to walk, please do.", "TRI is a great place to take the dog or family to get outside and walk around not feeling like you’re right next to DC. Only a quarter mile walk from Rosslyn it’s a great location and super easy to get to.", "Excellent access point for the Mount Vernon, Custis, and Capital Crescent Trails, as well as the Island itself and the C&O Canal Towpath. Parking lot can get crowded on a nice day, but spaces turn over fairly regularly.", "A quiet place inside a busy city.", "Very cool memorial off the beaten path. Highly recommend it! Parking and bike share spots available across the bridge", "A wonderful place to take a break from the hustle of the city. The island has a small parking lot. You can always find parking during the week days, but won't be able to find parking on the weekends. Instead, ride your bike to the island and after exploring, ride on to Georgetown. This island is also a great place to put in a kayak, or to let your dog jump into the river.", "A very good place to walk around the island beautiful landscape", "I liked it. TR is a favorite of mine. There should be more information. Maybe a small museum?", "Great place for a nature walk. Great place for Pokemon Go. Nice and cool as long as there is a breeze. Not wheelchair accessible. Tons of poison ivy. Wear closed toe shoes and stay on the trails and you'll be fine. There are drinking fountains and a restroom year round. Last time I was there rangers had ice water under canopy tents near the monument. The monument is beautiful.", "Teddy Roosevelt Island is a nice escape -- it's a hidden gem that I don't feel like many tourists (or even area residents, for that matter) know about/go out of their way to visit. It's pretty small, but fun to walk around nonetheless. There are numerous trails to follow, although some parts aren't super well-maintained. Overall, if you like nature and the outdoors, I would recommend checking out this DC treasure!", "Well worth the trip viewing the memorial and hiking the trails. I will be back when the trees leaf out.", "This is a fun place to explore or run through. I added it to my long runs and the shade and seclusion helped break up a monotonous, hot summer run. The Teddy Roosevelt monument near the islands center is impressive and inspiring." ]
