Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Washington DC

Joes was a great manager and checked on us a couple of times. Our server, Annie was great as well. The food was good. The scallops were delicious but a little too much mushrooms for my liking in the risotto. It was louder than I thought it would/should be, but it was fine. The tables for two are kind of small and close together with other tables of two so you are in everyone’s conversions and plates. I would go back.

Great food and great service. Always a good choice when in the DC area for a solid meal.

No food after 9:45pm. Make sure you come early or your reserved table will be assigned to someone else.

Et Voila continues to be a welcoming restaurant with quality food and wine/bar choices. I appreciate a restaurant with a good chateauneuf-du-pape by the glass! The carbonnade and our other main course selections were excellent, with the fries always outstanding. My mom loved her baked escargots. The floating island and chocolate mousse are our constant go-tos that never disappoint. The interior room was a bit hectic for an early seating but we put that down to it being Christmas Eve.

We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!
