Restaurants near Stoddert Playground

Love the food and service, but i do wish the staff wasn’t as attentive because it felt like we were being pushed out. Logically, I understand; however, it’s difficult to have a meaningful conversation when there is someone asking to grab the leftovers every 5 mins or so…

The selling points of this place are many: seasonal decorations, food is exceptional, and service is professional at the highest levels. Serving sizes are large for entrees, so be prepared for leftovers, or split a dish with another person. I like their rigatoni with red sauce and sausage a lot.

This was probably the best experience I’ve had at Old Ebbitt Grill. We got seated in the bar area, which was warm and comforting on a cold, snowy night. Our waiter was awesome…incredible competent with just the right amount of sass. The food was amazing…everything we ate was delicious. And the company was wonderful. I can’t wait for others to come into town to take them here.

Took my wife here for her 30th birthday. Food was great as well as the service. They also had the Christmas decorations up which looked great. In and out in 90 minutes. Would definitely recommend and plan on going back when we come back to DC

Divino has been open for about two months. The menu is not extensive, but it is well thought through, inventive, upscale Italian, and has sufficient variety. The meal was carefully prepared and presented. The sunchoke soup and porcini ravioli were delicious and the whole branzino was superlative. The server was attentive and engaging. The restaurant has lots of hard surfaces. We were there on an evening over the holidays that was slower and had no trouble hearing but if the restaurant is full, it could get noisy. Altogether a very pleasant evening.
