Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Haymarket

the food here is great. large portions and pleasant staff

Excellent dinner and service. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Servers were always ready to refill glasses and to bring bread. We could not recommend highly enough! Fantastic ambience!

A must try in DC, not only for the history, but the taste!

I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

Firebirds' normal menu is generally good but not outstanding. However, there specials are always outstanding. My husband and I enjoyed today's special which was a beef tenderloin on mashed potatoes with stew-like accompaniments. It was truly delicious and beautifully served. We had our old favorite warm carrot cake for dessert. Excellent Valentine's Day lunch!
