Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Rosslyn

Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.

Philomena is a pillar in the DC community and for great reason. When you first walk down the, many steps, you enter your known as house. During the holiday season, the restaurant is decorated from head to toe with Christmas celebration. The staff are all extremely courteous and helpful And always dressed amazingly. The food is outstanding. All portions are large enough to share so get a few dishes and let your table enjoy old world Italian cuisine. Anything on the menu is a score in my book. But don’t forget always leave room for dessert. The cannoli are amazing!

Mele rivals all top rated restaurants. Small plate of trout and asparagus featured perfectly cooked items with delicious, delicate, savory, light and creamy sauce with ginger on the side. My husband’s steak was superb and our first-time-at-Mele guests were delighted with their four cheese ravioli, with special kudos to the spinach on top. Carlos is a lovely, skilled waiter, our long time favorite. Mele wins the prize.

The Sushi menu was generous & everything we received was beautifully made & so delicious!!
