- SSherryIndiana •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat place for good, affordable food. Atmosphere is nice as they nod to the local neighborhood: Chinatown and a lot of paintings as the Portrait Gallery is across the street. I did find the buffalo chicken wings to be very small in size so maybe not worth the price, but our entrees were good and good size portions.More infoClyde's of Gallery PlacePrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.6
- KKatieWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is truly a one of a kind dining experience in DC. Some of the best service I’ve had. Our server was attentive, but didn’t hover and was so kind. We were able to get great recommendations on both drinks and food options. The beet salad, mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp were beyond delicious and I would highly recommend. For cocktail lovers the 3PM in Istanbul was excellent. We will certainly be going back to enjoy the atmosphere and to eat more of the tapas we were just too full to eat this time around.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7

- MMariaNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoThis restaurant has great ambiance, food, drinks, and staff. While the farm to table aspect is impressive itself, the fact that they make their own spirits is an added bonus. I had the G&T Fizz, recommended by our waiter Lucas, and it was excellent. Lucas was attentive and knowledgeable making the overall experience 10 out of 10.More infoFounding Farmers & Distillers DC: ChinatownPrice: Moderate• American• Mount Vernon Square•4.4
