District KitchenWonderful ExperienceI made a dinner reservation for a group of 4 for on Monday. We met at the bar first and recommend the Old Fashioned for all the bourbon drinkers out there. The special that evening was a roasted duck breast which was exceptionally tender and delicious. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive without being obtrusive. This was my second visit to District Kitchen and there will definitely be a third.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMFoodies FindDistrict Kitchen provides a wonderful set of food and drink options. All items ordered were wonderful and unique. Cheese and pickled veggie selections were impressive. Wine choices were good by the glass or bottle.
Parking can be challenging - but if you live in DC this does not need to be stated.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMDK is part of the farm-to-tableDK is part of the farm-to-table movement (like Founding Farmers) but doesn't take itself too seriously about it. They have well-crafted cocktails and decent wine by the glass. The menu changes constantly with fresh and innovative dishes. The restaurant is extremely loud, so don't plan a romantic date here. The service is attentive and well-informed.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile I use Open Table a greatWhile I use Open Table a great deal, I rarely write a review. This is an exception because this restaurant really deserves kudos. It is located on a block usually associated with tourist restaurants. But this should become a local staple and is worth jockying for a parking space, which isn't easy. The artisan cheeses were wonderful. I had two small dishes -- the lamb and veal meatballs and the wild boar sausage -- both mouthwatering. My wife had a tasty and moist halibut. We practically licked the plates. I also greatly appreciate the fact that they could have squeezed in a few more tables, but instead have left enough room that one can have a private conversation. And, finally, the service was very attentive and professional. Bravo.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe menu is unique and fresh-The menu is unique and fresh- it is nice to find variation in the menu throughout the year. We loved the wine list and the cocktails. The atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful-- the outdoor patio is wonderful in the spring. The GM/owner is great, he is very engaged in all aspects of the restaurant. Excellent service and quality of food. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was terrific. ServiceFood was terrific.

Every dish we got was really exceptional. I'd especially recommend the scallops, the squid ink pasta, and the risotto. The menu had a great selection, and the sizeable small plates section allowed our group to try a number of the items on the menu. I will definitely be back!3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMReally nice after work spotBooked dinner for an informal business meeting. Guest was held up so we sat at the bar for happy hour and then just stayed for an assortment of wonderful little plates. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was not your typical bar fare, and the wine selections were very good. The tab ended a little high, but that's what happens when you start at the bar and all those little treat options get more and more appealing.3/7/2013 12:00:00 AMUnique cocktails & outstanding menuAbsolutely fabulous menu -- and the dishes served tasted as good than they sounded. Lots of options (small plates and full-size entrees) - the day's special Tomato Curry Soup was amazing, and even loved by those at our table who don't like tomato soup! Our table tried every one of their specialty cocktails, and each one was spectacular! Doesn't hurt any to be only steps away from the Woodley Park Metro station - we will be back soon!2/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
