The six-course tasting menu was a real treat. Each dish had a fun, creative twist that kept things interesting. The service was personal and attentive, which made the whole evening feel relaxed. A solid value for the experience.

Loved the Pabell&oacute;n bowl! The shredded beef was so flavorful and the plantains were a great addition. It&#39;s super filling, perfect for sharing with a friend after a long day.

I love the Moomin decorations here, it feels so cozy. They even sell Finnish candies by the counter. You can tell the team really cares about the place.

Solid brunch spot. Shakshuka was on point, halloumi too. Way easier to snag a table than for dinner.

Cozy spot with a nice vibe, perfect for a casual hangout. The music was good, not too loud. We tried the margherita pizza and the arancini. The pizza crust was spot on, crispy and chewy. The arancini filling was a bit underseasoned for my taste, but still enjoyable.

The main dining area gets pretty loud, honestly. But I&rsquo;d go back just for the chicken tortilla soup and those sirloin tacos. They were really good.

Been coming here for years as a wine club member. The monthly bottle is always solid, but honestly, I keep coming back for that lunch special. It&#39;s just a reliable, tasty deal. The patio with s&#39;mores in winter is a nice bonus, but that lunch is the real draw for me.

Love the vibe here. Feels upscale but not stuffy. Perfect for a quick, nice dinner. Got a burger and fries. Burger was solid, fries crispy. Service was quick, which I appreciate. Good spot.

The chicken kebab bowl was fresh, really good. Johana was super friendly and checked on us just the right amount. Made the whole lunch feel easy.

A solid spot in Chinatown when everywhere else is packed. I liked the build-your-own bowl setup&mdash;lots of options to pick from. The food was pretty good, though the line can get a bit long at peak times.

Had to cancel last minute, but they offered a to-go dessert. The gesture was appreciated. Dessert itself was good. Shows they care about customer experience.

Pizza appetizer was solid, watermelon salad refreshing. But that Cacio e Pepe... wow. Pasta was perfectly al dente, sauce creamy and peppery. Just hit the spot. Waitress was nice and checked on us a couple times.

Ozzy and the team are always on point. The service is just so consistent, you know exactly what you&#39;re getting every time. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The Cuban bread with mango butter is a solid opener. The bread itself is warm and crusty, and the mango butter has this subtle sweetness that works. It&#39;s a good combo.

Been coming here for years. Their tap list rotates so often, I never get the same beer twice. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

No. 16 of Bars in Washington D.C.

Spicy crab sushi was fresh and tasty. Got my order in under 10 minutes, perfect for a quick lunch. Milkshakes looked good, but didn&#39;t have time to try one. Solid spot for a fast bite.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a solid neighborhood spot, especially after a day at the zoo. Nora always remembers my usual order. The chicken pot pie is exactly what you want on a cold day.

Just tried their $15 lunch special. The Pollo Brunello pasta was really fresh and had a nice, light cream sauce. Solid deal for a weekday lunch.

The patio is a great spot to bring your dog. Staff was friendly, and it&rsquo;s just a really chill place to hang out with a drink.

Came here for a lazy Sunday brunch. Our server was super thorough about checking the menu for my friend&#39;s nut allergy, which I really appreciated. The sourdough pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet. Solid spot for a chill group meal.

Late dinner. The Oysters Rockefeller were cheesy and full of flavor. The duck spring rolls were so good, almost a meal on their own.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The space is really calming, nice art on the walls. Cool that they have a little market next door with Russian stuff.

Christina was a really nice server. She was attentive and had a good sense of humor. We were celebrating, and she brought out a dessert with a candle, which was a thoughtful touch. The service was definitely the highlight.

The red sangria pitcher is perfect for sharing. We loved customizing the spice level on our chicken too!

Service was friendly, but the pastas were hit or miss. The ravioli was solid, but the fettuccine was overcooked and bland. For the price, I expected more flavor.

Booked a lane for a group, and the staff was cool with our cake. Their draft beer selection paired surprisingly well with the whole bowling vibe.

Thai shrimp lettuce bowls were spot on. Shrimp had that fresh snap, veggies were crisp. Everything just tasted bright and balanced.

The pho broth was so clean and light, you can really taste the fresh herbs. The thinly sliced beef was tender and not fatty at all. A very comforting bowl. The space itself is quiet and pleasant.

The Double Dough ice cream was so good. That texture is everything&mdash;rich and creamy, with big, soft chunks of cookie dough. Honestly, the best I&#39;ve ever had.

Good selection of gluten-free dishes. Staff took time to explain the menu and check on dietary needs. Helpful for a business lunch when you need things handled efficiently.
