Best Live Music Restaurants in Woodley Park

My husband and I had the pleasure of trying La Grande Boucherie DC earlier this week. I must say MOUHSSINE's professionalism and kindness stood out. He was not only highly efficient and knowledgeable, but also made sure we felt welcome and valued. His attentive service and approachable demeanor added an extra touch to the dining experience. It's clear that he genuinely cares about providing excellent service, and I would gladly return knowing that such a dedicated professional is overseeing the operations. Highly recommend!

Everything was great, but I was a bit put off by the automatic service charge. We were a party of two and automatically charged 20%. I am accustomed to 20% for parties of 6-8 or more but not for two. Bombay Club has always had great service and on those cases, I typical provide 25 to 30% tip. However, since 20% was automatic, and not allowing me to provide a tip percentage (say ranging between 15 & 30 percent) based on my experience, I chose to not provide a 25-30% tip. I think this is a missed opportunity for your waiter staff. David

Highly recommend the express lunch! Great food!! A Culinary Delight at Delena: A Michelin Star Experience in Washington DC Today, I had the most wonderful lunch at Delena, a Michelin-starred gem in Washington DC, owned by the renowned Chef Richard Sandoval. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and impeccably elegant—perfect for a midday escape into culinary bliss. I started with their signature appetizer crab pumpkin soup, which was beautifully plated and full of bold, vibrant flavors. For my main course, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked birria taco dish that was a masterpiece of both taste and presentation—each bite was an experience! The delicate balance of spices and textures showcased why Chef Sandoval’s cuisine is so highly celebrated. To end the meal on a sweet note, I indulged in a decadent oxaca corn cake dessert, which was almost too beautiful to eat. The combination of rich flavors and light textures left me completely satisfied. What truly made the experience special was the impeccable service. Every detail was attended to with care, making the lunch feel more like a personalized fine-dining experience than just a meal. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of DC, I highly recommend Delena for your next special occasion—or simply to treat yourself to something extraordinary. Thank you, Chef Richard Sandoval, for a truly wonderful meal! #MichelinStarExperience #WashingtonDC #ChefRichardSandoval #Delena #FineDining #CulinaryExcellence

The food was amazing, and we’re definitely going back! Unfortunately, our table was near the entrance, so every time the door opened, we felt the cold air from outside. The ambiance was nice and beautiful, but it was quite loud, so we had to raise our voices to maintain the conversation (something I don’t usually enjoy). Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely return at a different time.

Certainly a go to in downtown DC. Tuesday night and the place was hopping. Had a reservation, and we weee promptly seated. Service was perfect and food and drink excellent. Plenty of great places to eat downtown. This definitely on my favorites list.
