Restaurants near Watkins Recreation Center

It’s awesome every time without fail. The best restaurant in DC metro area forever.

Can't comment on the tacos because I wasn't looking for the tacos. An excellent special queso fundido and the pato con hoisin mole was outstanding. Whoever commented that the food was bland must have eaten elsewhere. Only complaint was that the main course came out too fast.

The food is delicious. Some of the best on Capitol Hill, possibly in all DC. Also, Belga has recently renovated inside so it's easier to hear your dining companions.

This was our first time dining at Ambar and we thought it was amazing. Everything was perfect from the food, to the speed and attention to detail with the service to the overall restaurant experience. My father in law is very stubborn and does not like anything "different" and I was beyond excited to see how much he loved this restaurant! My 8yo also loved getting to take a bite and dry all of the different dishes. So happy to have experienced this restaurant.

Had a special dinner with our son and daughter-in-law, with the counter experience. We were able to enjoy over a dozen dishes, from snacks, appetizers, main entrees and dessert. All at the counter watching the cooks. We added wine pairing. They treated us as special guests and saw to all our needs. Wonderful dinner!
