   Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. We had a fantastic dinner. The salmon dip with thin cracker absolutely delicious. The spinach salad with a whipped mozzarella and warm beacon vinaigrette melts will have your kids eating their veggies. The main course we decided on was the rock fish in a light brown sauce with mussels and tortellini stuffed with crab and lobster. The ambience was great with a view of the Pike and Rose area. Beautiful night view. There is an entire area that’s shaped like a boat that’s used in warmer weather. We will visit for that experience.our new favorite restaurant. SEE YOU SOON! Oh I forgot to mention our server was extremely pleasant and gave great advice on what to order, ( WIN, WIN, WIN)! Unfortunately I forgot his name but if it helps we spoke about him learning Korean 😂. Sunday March 3rd 2025. He was the only server that we saw.

   Food and drink were way, way overpriced. Service was slow and mediocre at best. I don’t know why I keep trying here. It’s always a disappointment.

   I visited Hello Betty for restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised! The food was incredible – from the sweet potato biscuits to the pancakes and mimosas. I used to pass by this place all the time and never thought to stop in, but now I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu.

   Small portions of ok food. Tried it for restaurant week and will not return. But it’s probably a lovely place for a drink on their terrace.

   The restaurant was not at all busy on a weeknight, and Miguel provided excellent service. I opted for the Restaurant Week menu and really enjoyed the hush puppies and shrimp and grits. Great presentation, too. The chocolate dessert I took home and ate the next day. It wasn’t bad, but I think a lighter, less dense crust would make it better. I would definitely return for the food and service, but I wouldn’t go again during Restaurant Week. Based on my calculation, it was not a a good deal.

   Menu online, did not match the menu at the restaurant. They were out of Ice tea, which seemed so odd service was ok, ambience was great, live music, but not sure I’ll be back

    Chef B has done it again!! Take him anywhere and he'll make magic. I'm a frequent patron of Pike and Rose and when I learned my favorite D.C. chef was now there I had to pull up. And pull up I did, trying everything my his famous crawfish Mac, gumbo, chicken and waffles, side of grits, pecan pancakes (new), and one of my new favorites of his the fried ribs🤤🤤🤤 everything was was delicious and well prepared. My daughter is obsessed with his biscuits and he was overjoyed to have them (he would be awarded a prize for his biscuits alone). Just the qualify my review, I'm a New Orleans girl living in the DMV for the last three years and his food is as close to home as I get outside my own kitchen. Will be back this week to try his restaurant week offerings.
