Restaurants near Benning Terrace Community Center

We had the classic tasting menu which allowed us to try a delicious variety of dishes. Our server was terrific. Sat outside and enjoyed sharing menu tips with fellow diners. A wonderful meal and evening!

Our server was truly outstanding. He made a quick birthday lunch for a 4 year old happen in under 50 minutes so we could get to our show on time. Everything was seemless and he made it smooth and not too rushed. The food was excellent. Many thanks to Oyamel but mostly- thank you to our server who made it seem low key and easy to accommodate a party of 6 with two boys under six who were hyped up for a show in under 50 minutes with a lot of food orders.

One of the best dinning experiences I have had in a while!! Carlos, our server, was exceptional!! He guided us through the menu and provided drink accompaniment with our meals. We started of the meal with the zucchini appetizer which was a pleasant surprise. My wife had the lobster pasta and I had the lamb chops. Both entrees did not disappoint!! I've never had lamb chops that size at a restaurant. It was enough to take home and have the next day! Unfortunately, the lobster pasta did not survive first contact!! Definitely a must if you dine at Limani. The highlight of the evening was the check. This was our wedding anniversary dinner. We didn't announce it but someone paid for our meal...it wasn't cheap!! To whomever did this we thank you. You hear about things like this but never I would have ever thought someone would do this for me. We are greatful. With all the political vitriol and social media hate, it is good to see there are good people amongst us. Thank you...we will pay it forward!!

First time visiting for brunch and was not disappointed. Really lived up to the hype. Best thing to do is pace yourself with all the food. The salmon was on point. The churros were the star of the experience. Definitely get the bottomless drinks, they hit. Top ten bottomless brunches in the DMV.

Zaytinia impressed on all fronts. The chef's talent shines through in every dish - expect inventive flavor combinations that really work. Each plate was a delightful surprise, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The staff struck a perfect balance - attentive and knowledgeable, yet warm and unpretentious. Their familiarity with the menu enhanced our dining experience. The ambiance is equally inviting - elegant without being stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably linger over a excellent meal and good conversation. Zaytinia offers a top-notch dining experience that's worth seeking out. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself evening, it doesn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their menu.
