Best Vegetarian Restaurants in U Street Corridor

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here! It was beautifully decorated for the holidays, the greeters at the front door were so friendly, as was the young woman who seated us. No one rushed us. And the menu had so many delicious choices; I had the heated fresh apple cider and delicious seasonal soup. Our main course was fresh and comforting. We’ll be back!

I was at first impressed with the beautiful setting inside the restaurant. Every table was set with a white tablecloth and looked elegant. It was a quiet setting with Italian paintings on the walls. The menu included various salads and main dishes, including some seafood. Even though I had enjoyed some of the items on the menu at other restaurants, I was pleased with the preparation at Bellissimo. I also thought the prices were reasonable for our lunch. The food was presented in a very special way, which was a nice touch. Potatoes with my meal, for instance, were curled artistically. Our service was second to none. Our server was patient and polite, and allowed us to enjoy our meal. I think Bellissimo is an excellent restaurant, and I would like to try it for dinner when lights are low. It is definitely a fine place for a date or small group.

Excellence personified--food, service, atmosphere, intangibles-great experience by experienced out of town travelers-not to be missed-best of the best

Food was excellent, the service was very good. All employees were polite and friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown DC.

We had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner. The seafood spread was plentiful and fresh, they were putting fresh seafood out about every 5 minutes. All 3 courses were perfectly cooked apart from the octopus which my friend found to be a little on the salty side, she loved the pasta and sauce that came with it. I had the prime filet and it lived up to the definition “melt in your mouth tender”. The service was perfect, Daniel Penda who attended to us was friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on. Everyone else was very friendly and we had several people check on us at appropriate times to see that we were having a lovely dinner. I definitely would recommend for a special occasion or fancy dinner. The ambiance at The Pembroke is perfect for that.
