The Monocle Restaurant

Not bad American-style small shop, the American coffee inside tastes very good, the meatballs inside are very delicious, the vegetables are mixed inside, it is not so greasy to eat, the noodles are decent.

A wonderful experience of sitting at a bar or table enjoying the food and service. There is something on the menu for everyone and the price is very affordable. There is also a great bar menu. The owner and Joel's bartender will bend over to make everyone feel that they have always been regular guests. A great 5 back mountain crowd might mix but come casually. I love this place! There are some private rooms upstairs and private rooms downstairs are under renovation.

Very cool place and very good food. Nothing more than that, but it was real. I had grilled salmon and salad. My companion had pork chops. The pork chops were delicious but I wasn't in the mood to eat something that heavy. Probably a cool local lunch because it's very close to Hart's Senate office building.

The Monocle is highly recommended and was just what we needed to end our morning visit to the Capitol. Great food. Fabulous service. Nice wine selection. It felt like the kind of place important people in DC might go for lunch, although we didn't hear of any big deals being made. We had the chicken strip salad and the salmon sandwich. Both were delicious. The experience felt very DC!

The Monocle Restaurant is a steakhouse that is on many list. It is close to the Congress, so there are many people in suits. The men in suits are so handsome...
