    Don’t be in a hurry if you come here. I suggest,like a table next to us did, is have a card game to play, a book to read, or something to do if you are not a chatty group while you wait for your food. The food is well worth the wait!

    Food was excellent but did not get to really enjoy and savor main course (which was ordered before appetizer arrived). Because it took so long to get our food (others that arrived, and ordered, after us received their food before us), we had to eat really fast and get to go boxes to make PAC show. Server was made aware when we arrived that we were attending the show. As stated, food was delicious.

    Wonderful restaurant! I got the Crab Cakes and Filet Mignon. The food is delicious, though very saucy. Our server was attentive and thoughtful.

    Valentine’s Day is not the day to go to Orsos We had a reservation for 9:15 and didn’t get seated until 9:45. There were several tables where some of the women were hammered and very loud. The food, as always, was good. I don’t know if the reservations need to be more spaced out or more staff needs to be working on Valentine’s Day.

    Once again, ORSO shone. The food is so consistently great. The Osso Buco to die for. Fabulous Washington wine list.
