La Grande Boucherie in DC offers a stunning dining experience with incredible food and beautiful decor that truly set the mood. We started with the duck prosciutto, which was a deliciously unique appetizer. For our main courses, we enjoyed the steak frites and the French dip sandwich—both were flavorful and cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly and attentive, though we would have appreciated being checked on a bit more throughout the meal. Overall, it was a lovely evening, and we’re excited to return for another visit!

Second time returning to Zaytinya and the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was very busy and a bit chaotic to walk over to restrooms, but the service was great.

We had a great experience at Joe’s last night. We had a 7:30 reservation, but the restaurant was backed up due to a busy night. We didn’t get seated till 8pm, which initially rubbed us the wrong way, but the Joe’s service team did an excellent job making up for it. The host who brought us to the table apologized and made a clear effort to get us seated as soon as possible, and our server was on top of it all night. The food was excellent as usual, everything fresh and made to perfection. The branzino was particularly delicious, not a single bone and cooked very well. The service finished strong by giving us dessert on the house, and the peanut butter and key lime pie were outstanding. Overall, great experience at Joe’s and a great example of how a restaurant can bounce back from an initial issue and still give us a great experience. Will definitely be going back

This is one of my favorite spots in DC and I come in for the Sea Bass every time I have business in DC! Such incredible food, service and it will become your favorite spot after one visit!

Very creative and delicious food and drinks. Had the Guava margaritas. One virgin and one regular. They were both good and found that the taste became better once paired with the crab guacamole. I also had another mango margarita that was sweeter and more to my liking. The crab guacamole was our favorite of the three dishes we had. The short rib tacos were beautifully presented and delicious. Nice spices. The wagu empanadas were tasty but not as good as the other two for us. The staff is great and very friendly.
