- KKatieWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is truly a one of a kind dining experience in DC. Some of the best service I’ve had. Our server was attentive, but didn’t hover and was so kind. We were able to get great recommendations on both drinks and food options. The beet salad, mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp were beyond delicious and I would highly recommend. For cocktail lovers the 3PM in Istanbul was excellent. We will certainly be going back to enjoy the atmosphere and to eat more of the tapas we were just too full to eat this time around.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
- SSarahWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat place for both relaxed and fancier occasions. Ate here for my girlfriends graduation meal and although busy, service was prompt and food and drinks were amazing. Prices more than reasonable for the quality of food and waiter (with all the pins) had great knowledge of menu and recommendations.More infoOld Ebbitt GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.8

- RRuthWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFilomena has always been our go-to restaurant, and it never fails to exceed our expectations. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious—each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service we received from Nebil. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness made us feel truly valued as guests. Nebil anticipated our needs effortlessly, provided thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made an already great meal even more memorable. Filomena, once again, proved why it remains our favorite dining spot!More infoFilomena RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Georgetown•4.8
- PPamWashington, D.C. Area •91 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA group of 4 wanted to split a lot of our lunch choices...plus the checks. No problem. Not only were they accommodating of all of that, our choices came to us already split. Not all restaurants would do that. Staff is charming and knowledgeable. Prices are good. Et Viola is one of my go-to restaurants for good reason. We had mussels, salads and French Onion soup by the way.More infoEt VoilaPrice: Expensive• French• Palisades Northwest•4.8
