    An enjoy Silver but some recent experiences were marred by poor service. Not so this time; service was prompt, friendly and efficient. The menu has a wide selection of tasty comfort food. The lamb meatballs were delicious, on their own or with papppardelle. The shrimp with octopus and the bison meatloaf are also very good. So happy to see they appear to have resolved their service issues!

    Very friendly staff providing efficient service. Would have given the food a higher rating but had to send back the short rib hash. It was so salty, couldn’t do it. Ordered the Bison Huevos Rancheros instead which was very good. The food tastes and presents fresh and local. Looking forward to a return visit sometime soon. Bypass my 3 star food ranking and go to Silver if you have not been.

    Silver is my go to brunch place. There are many lovely choices on the menu and all well-prepared. Sitting in a booth is both comfortable and quiet. The service is always attentive, friendly, and professional. Never had a bad meal there. I've also been for lunch and dinner and have had equally good experiences with Silver.

    Not terrible and the gentleman who served usa made up for the meh experience overall. We were sat at a partially unfinished table: there were no plates. It did take forever for anyone to approach our table and get the beer from the bar, though. It looked like our server did not have much help, although several other employees were around. Burger was okay but cold Kale salad was good Fried chicken was tasty Mac n cheese - cold It was way too expensive for what it was and the overall experience we had. Birthday that I mentioned in the reservation notes was ignored.

    The food and service are reliably good and this on many visits. On my most recent visit everything from being greeted upon arrival, service, dinner were somehow far more special and exceptional. This was because of the wonderful Andy. He is very friendly and personable with a great sense of humor- truly charming gentleman. My go to dish is always the unique and savoury chicken pot pie. Do not miss this! The salmon never fails to impress either and the meatloaf is a close second. Generally everything is from good to unforgettable at Silver, but with Andy , the experience with Silver just went up to five stars.

    Went for brunch and enjoyed our selections - special shoutout to the brussels sprouts small plate. I was pleased with my chicken and waffles, but happy the server pointed out the waffles were silver dollar sized, allowing me to reconsider my choice, if I really wanted the full size. I ended up being happy with the proportions of the plating - allowed me not to feel uncomfortably stuffed, and able to try other items. Loved the overall vibe of the place, and service was very good.

    Friend and I had a lovely dinner post-Cathedral concert. The space is cozy and fun but not overly loud. We could hear each other quite well. Goat cheese bruschetta was delicious. My friend enjoyed her crab cakes. I enjoyed my tenderloin medallions but they were very over cooked. Mostly well done when I asked for medium rare. I informed the waitress but the steak was tender enough to still be good and the glaze helped. Service was excellent, very attentive server who did not show any agitation when we took forever to order (tip to compensate). Great experience.

    The service was rather slow and my dish was not what I had expected. Avocado toast had barely any avocado (and I’ve had this before in another location) and the bread was definitely not toasted.

    I normally go to the Bethesda location of this restaurant. I went to this location for their 5th year anniversary restaurant-week-style menu. The prix fixe menu is a good deal, but the service was very slow. My friend and I were sitting at the bar, and even though there were several staff members behind the bar, they were mostly just talking to each other and goofing around instead of waiting on customers. I had to actually get up myself and get extra plates because the server never brought them! Perhaps it would have been better if we had sat at a table, but that shouldn't matter.

    My daughter and enjoyed Sunday brunch at Cathedral Commons. The weather was gorgeous for outdoor dining which we requested; however our original server as inattentive, and ignored us completely. Thank goodness for the male manager on duty who took it upon himself to provide undivided service to us. He and the chef on duty made our brunch the best ever! Food was fresh, hot and delicious;their service bad done professionally with a smile and personality. As for the originals female server, she only appeared at our table with the bill, hoping to collect a tip —- you figure it out!!!

    A good neighborhood upscale diner with a wide-ranging menu that provides something for everyone. Good selection of craft beers and cocktails. Have been going here regularly for two years and, like many restaurants, the pandemic has made them inconsistent. Most days the food is good, although we have had occasional bad experiences. However, management always steps up and makes things right, which is why we continue to patronize them. We understand times are challenging. On our most recent visit the hangar steak was good, although I could do without the gravy on the side which I found oddly seasoned. It was correctly cooked to order (med rare). Fries are crisp and tasty and salad was fresh. My wife had the fish and chips which were very good, although I would describe it as more breaded than battered. She enjoyed their remoulade sauce. Service was well-intentioned but slow. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, even though the place was half-full. Like most places now, seems a bit pricey. Bill was $68 for two entrees and one beer (including 20% tip).

    Food quality is not great. Ham and Cheese omelet had very little ham and cheese. The veggie huevos rancheros had little egg and was mostly cous-cous. Pancakes were dry and not full of flavor. Burger was good but very small. Service was very slow and we waited a long time for our food

    We hadn't visited Silver Diner in a while. The service was excellent, but the food was mediocre at best. My lamb meatball pasta dish was served at room temperature (fatal to most pasta dishes) and unappealingly seasoned, with WAY too much rosemary. It shouldn't be hard to get such a simple pasta dish right, particularly for c. $25. Being spoiled for choice in DC these days, we probably won't return to Silver Diner anytime soon.
