    Old Ebbitt Grill is always solid. Service is usually solid (as compared to most DC proper restaurants) and the food is always great. Their raw bar is incredible (be sure to visit during oyster HH, everyday 3pm-6pm), the mix drinks are always tasty, and their menu/selection is always rotating and improving. Their management is clearly receptive to metrics and I appreciate this restaurant.

    Every dish was fantastic! The rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans were had by two of us, I had the soup of the day, rice and bean soup w/sausage (yum), house salad was fresh and delicious, short ribs were moist, delicious and fell off the bone, and the crab cake salad was chefs kiss! We finished off with bread pudding and key lime pie were incredibly delectable. Our server Andrew was a little stiff at first but provided memorable experience once he loosened up. Great service Andrew!! And the skillet cornbread has just the right amount of kick to it. We will be back again and again. Glenwoods never disappoints!

    My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

    The greeting, food and service were excellent. I had the lobster grilled cheese and fries. The server was kind enough to give me a taste of a wine to help me decide between two. The decor and architecture are warm and upscale feeling. The interior is gorgeous.
