Best Date Night Restaurants in Washington

The food was good service was just ok. This place makes you pay for everything. I ordered the honey hot fried chicken and had to pay an extra $5 for the honey hot glaze on the chicken the side don’t come with the dish but are and extra charge with your meal. There was a 20%service charge not a gratuity for the waitress so I gave a separate tip for my waitress. All drinks were very expensive. My date had a drink but I stuck with the free water. There is a bottle water option you can buy as well. Needless to say I will not be patronizing this establishment again. Oh last but not least parking is very limited but they do offer valet parking for a fee.

Every aspect of the celebratory birthday dinner at Ocean Prime for my dear friend was perfect. The greeting and professionalism of the valet gentlemen started the evening on the right foot. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my 6pm reservation, and the hostesses immediately greeted me with smiles and accommodations. They said we already have your table ready and directed me to a large comfortable booth to wait for my birthday guest. Upon his arrival, my amazing waiter, Raphael, arranged for us to have our own truffle popcorn and their delicious specialty drinks (bubbles and berries). Raphael is an extraordinary maître d!!! His meal and dessert suggestions were on point and delicious. The two sushi dishes (Ocean Rolls and Dynamite Rolls), the Chilean Sea Bass, the King Salmon, dinner drinks (Smoked Old Fashioned and Hot & Dirty), and birthday celebratory desserts (Chocolate Peanut Butter and Warm Butter Cake) we’re SCRUMDELICIOUS!!! My friend and I were treated extremely well and thoroughly pleased with the experience. Many thanks to all involved.

The Vue was so accommodating. Our flight to DC was delayed so I called to ask if we could push our reservation back and they said of course! We were so excited because we wanted to see DC at night and were not disappointed. The food was wonderful and staff was great. We walked around and took some great pictures! Might see if we can drop back in to see the view in the daytime as well.

I recently celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Mastro’s, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to the amazing staff and our incredible waiter, Rice. From the moment we arrived, the team greeted us warmly, with many wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, which set a festive and welcoming tone. Rice’s service was truly exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made thoughtful recommendations that elevated our dining experience. Every detail, from the timing of the courses to ensuring our glasses were never empty, was handled with care and precision. What stood out even more was the personal touch the entire team brought to the birthday celebration. The beautifully presented dessert and the genuine enthusiasm from the staff made my girlfriend feel so special. Rice’s professionalism made the evening perfect. Mastro’s went above and beyond to create a memorable night for us. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Rice if you want an exceptional dining experience.

Food was delicious and our servers were amazing! It was a little loud in there so it was hard to hear. The decorations were also beautiful. Loved the festive look!
