We had a small reunion of friends at Mazi. It was the perfect setting as it was casual but not too casual. The somewhat limited menu did have something for everyone. Prices were what you would expect in a downtown city area. For example, chicken and vegetable kabobs were $23 with steak and chops in the $40s. The waitstaff was outstanding and patient with a group that obviously was in no hurry to leave.

We had a horrible experience at Mazi DC. After ordering starters, we got some mediocre dishes. The Shrimp tempura was not made with the delicate Japanese style batter, but rather with fish-and-chips style heavy batter. But while we were only halfway through our starters, they already brought the main dishes! Enquiries with the maitre D only resulted in 'it's very busy', which is a lame excuse for poor, especially too fast service! No apologies, no attempt to correct, no attempt to compensate. We were not the only table treated like that, we noticed, although our case was the most extreme it seemed. I cannot recommend this restaurant, as it is overpriced for the food they serve, and they serve it in a very sloppy way

i had a somewhat of a class reunion with about 4 of my high school classmate (and their wives) and we could not have asked for a better place to do it in. The staff was friendly and accommodating the service was outstanding and the food was to die for. everytime i come in town will make it a point to come have a meal at Mazi's

Mazi has a good selection of Mediterranean dishes from which to choose. We chose the Halloumi cheese bruschetta and a mushroom pasta. Both were excellent. The service was good and the bill was reasonable.

Their seating policy was ridiculous. Four of us singles showed up at different times and no one was led to the table - we were all told to wait until at least 3 had shown up. Since some of us didn't know the others, it turned into a slight debacle. The food was good, but portions are too much for all of us (men and women). We wished we had gotten entrees to share, since we were going out afterwards and didn't want doggie bags. Overall, a good place, easy to talk with the others in the group because it is quiet.

Between visiting my sister and my daughter for the last 10 years I have never been here but by far the best restaurant we have eaten at. The service was amazing and the food was fantastic and I’m a huge snob. We met one of the owners outside while leaving and talked for a while. He was very personable and so very pleasant. This will be a regular stop on our visits to DC. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening

Everything we had was good. The Brussel Sprouts were a little overdone. They always seem to be everywhere lately. Pork Chop was recommended by waiter and did not disappoint. I would definitely go back. $400 for 4 people but we had apps, mains, desserts, drinks and fun. It was worth it. I have paid that much for mediocre food and service and this was not that place.

I had the lamb burger which was quite good. Mr husband had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken which he said was “ okay”. I had a Bourbon Mule cocktail which had plenty of bourbon but flat watered down ginger beer. It has a nice ambiance and the staff are friendly. The menu was fairly limited but overall this was a pleasant but average restaurant.

The restaurant bills itself as Greek, but there was not much Greek about the food. Only a few dishes. The Rockfish was a bit overcooked and oily tasting. Spinach was awesome, rice was well seasoned. Greek "Meatball" appetizer was good, but just not great. I was quite surprised to have a $90 check with one appetizer and two entrees at lunch. We only had water to drink. So, the value isn't great.

Was with a party of 6. There was a little hiccup on splitting checks. Waiter was nice but at first said he couldn't. I understand it is easier to not split, but for a city where people can be on different expense accounts, it isn't unusual. Place wasn't that busy, so he agreed to the split checks. Food was delicious, drinks were too. Music was nice. Ambience was also. Didn't get too loud, could talk without yelling. They had already added a tip to our checks when we got them. Don't know if that was because of the size of the party or if they do it automatically. So double check your receipt when you get it.

What a wonderful fusion of American Classic with a Mediterranean twist- amazing. I had the salmon which was perfectly crusted. Companion one had the chicken kabobs which so plentiful he shared with us. So good. The other guest had the Chilean sea bass which she said was perfect. We were staying at the Hyatt House next door, so if good food, comfortable ambiance, and a varied menu are of your liking, than you will love Mazi!
