Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Washington DC

Overall this was a great experience for us on Valentine's day. The maitre' de (however you spell that) was very pleasant and gave my date a rose to give to me. Because it was so crowded we didn't get the tableside experience, but the experience we did have was so nice that we will be returning. Also.....we had the cheese wheel pasta this evening and the next day went somewhere that was supposed to be KNOWN for their cheese wheel pasta (in Arlington, if you know, you know) and hands down, this was better. ;)

We visited Brix on Valentine’s Day. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the pork chops and really enjoyed them. Brix is a real gem— a comfortable, classy, casual restaurant where you’re greeted with a smile and the servers can practically read your mind. Jose was attentive yet unobtrusive, and this added to an already perfect evening. We will be back on a regular basis!

We were there at an off time and had the restaurant to ourselves. The servers were very attentive and the food came out quick and was delicious!

Nostos is already very popular, it is the best restaurant in Northern Virginia. You need to make a reservation to get a table. It is a quality restaurant. The food is excellent, everything fresh and perfectly prepared. It is a pleasure to just enjoy great food. Add to that the perfect service; and the family who owns the restaurant, is always on site managing all the details and greeting guests. It is a taste treat of the first order. You will love it.

Great spot for a business lunch. Good food, very nice setting, great service.
