- SshawnVIPSt. Louis •26 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMy second time here and it’s going to be a must visit any time I’m in DC. Fantastic cocktails, excellent and friendly service from the staff and the unlimited menu is outstanding. Tried the lamb lasagna, short rib goulash and the pepper and cheese croquets on this visit. Wonderful. And the cevapi and the sujuk flatbread on a previous visit were amazing. Looking for an excuse to fly back to DC from the Midwest just to eat here again.More infoAmbar - ArlingtonPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Arlington•4.6

- JJoeVIPWashington, D.C. Area •19 reviews5.0Dined on May 21, 2025I had never had Eastern European food before and didn't know what to expect. What I found was one of the best meals I've ever had in Washington, DC! The food is delicious, freshly made and each dish was delightful. The desserts were delicious too. The service was top-notch and the ambiance was wonderful with the train theme. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly.
