Best Authentic Restaurants in Brightwood

The food was delicious. Staff friendly and attentive.

Would like to give more stars to this Washington, D.C. institution. Let's start with the positives: Reservation was honored quickly. As promised, perhaps the best view in town. Solid service with attentive follow up. Uh, room for improvement? Drink prices on the high side. $19 for the "Swamp Cooler"? I get it, overhead has to be paid. Food - like the Calamari Shrimp appetizer was overcooked. Calamari should retain some juiciness, not reduced to a cardboard-like consistency. If you have people from out of town - impressive! I live in town and won't likely hurry back.

All of the dishes were quite good - but we really enjoyed the pork belly, sea bass, and duck. The surprise dessert was quite lovely. The staff was super knowledgeable and personable. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate.

Loved this place. We Got the chicken which came with mashed potatoes, baby vegetables, and some sort of puree that was delicious. We also got the steak tartare as an app and filet mignon, loved the sauce that came over the mashed potatoes!

Friday high tea was perfection. Service was 10/10.  The chef not only accommodated at the last minute gluten-free request but made my daughter’s celebration for finishing the 1st grade so special.
