Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Washington

Fun place to hang and grab a bite and a pint. Only hiccup was the door greeter, she did not seat my table of 6 at a table for 6, she kept igorning my reservations were for 6. Not sure she was having a good day to be honest, so we had to sit far apart and yell to our guests we were hosting from out of town. Really annoying but at least the server was fun.

Took my friend here for her first time at dinner and could not have asked for a better experience. The entire experience was phenomenal and my waitress Nellie was great. All the other the staff members who also supported throughout dinner, including Louis provided superior service.

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.

It was good and we enjoyed the restaurant solid food

Food was very good. Service friendly. Drinks a bit pricey.
