AMAZING SERVICE. Absolutely enjoyed my time here from the high quality food, to the 10/10 service from the staff. From providing purse hooks, to giving us an extra table to hold all of our plates - I am astonished by the amazing customer service. Cant' wait to go back. 10/10 on the brunch and espresso martinis too - try the blueberry.

Fresh pita was lovely, the house hummus was delicious. Lamb chops were seasoned and cooked well. The drinks were good too. The swordfish was dry and overcooked. FYI they *will* tell you that you’ve met your allotted 2 hours of dining and it’s time to vacate the table. So plan accordingly if you want to have multiple courses.

Hi Sundi, We appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed our fresh pita, delicious house hummus, well-seasoned lamb chops, and drinks. We regret that the swordfish didn't meet your expectations and we will take your comments into consideration. We aim to provide an exceptional dining experience and it seems we fell short this time. We hope to serve you again soon. Best, Balos Management

Not the best experience. Per the website, Balos allows a 15-min grace period for late arrivals. Our table got stuck in traffic and called ahead to let them know we were 10 mins behind. But when I called, they denied that policy and said they’d “try” to seat us as soon as they can. Though we arrived within the grace period, we ultimately waited an hour to be seated as our table had already been given away. While the cocktails were good, the food was overpriced for the quality. Definitely a place where the goal is to “do it for the gram” and be seen by others - lots of aspiring influencers with ring lights blinding nearby tables. Makes it hard to enjoy the meal when you’re constantly ducking cameras or have influencers bumping into your table while they make blurry videos. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations. Our intention is always to honor our grace period policy and accommodate guests as smoothly as possible. We regret that this wasn’t your experience and apologize for the wait As for the atmosphere, we understand that the balance between an energetic environment and a comfortable dining experience is delicate. While we welcome guests celebrating special moments, we never want that to come at the expense of others’ enjoyment. Your comments will help guide how we manage the dining room moving forward. We truly appreciate you giving us a try, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a more seamless and enjoyable experience in the future. Warmly, Balos Management

Overall I had an amazing experience at Balos. I will say I wish that the napkin toss would have happened between 11-12 because my friend had to leave so she missed it. And also the table next to us had 2 too many people and they kept asking us to move over. I talked to the waiter but nothing was done. Everything else food and drinks bomb.

We had an amazing ladies brunch yesterday. Our waitress was fantastic and attentive. She kept the bottomless flowing! If I could have a complaint it would be that there were no appetizers available and we had to ask for the balos chips which were phenomenal. All in all a wonderful experience.

I don’t write many reviews, but every now and then, a place completely earns it and Balos Estiatorio in DC absolutely did. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was just right. The hostess team was not only strikingly elegant but genuinely warm and welcoming setting the tone for what would become one of my top five first-time dining experiences, right up there with Le Bernardin in NYC and Lewis Barbecue in Charleston. (Anyone who has been to both will know what i mean) Our waiter, Nico, was a gem. Friendly without being pushy, knowledgeable without pretension, and clearly passionate about the food and the Greek culinary tradition. It felt like we were in expert hands from the start. Now for the food: this was not your average Greek fare, it was elevated, thoughtful, and full of soul. Im just gonna say Pita.....and wow! I’ve had babaganoush before, but this was the first time I genuinely loved it, it was smoky, silky, and addictive. The filo pastry was perfection, light and buttery with just the right crunch. Then came the stuffed peppers (a recommendation by Nico...because his mom used to make them when he was a kid, theyre great! Best selling point for a dish ive ever heard, had to order them.) They were, I mean beautifully done, I had to pause mid-bite just to take it in. And the filet? Impeccable. Seasoned with care, seared with precision, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. By the end, we couldn’t fit dessert if we tried, but the coffees (Americanos) were rich, bold, and the perfect close to an unforgettable meal. Tbh it feels like they're doing all the right things to be a Michelen star restaurant but they genuinely seem to care about your experience rather than any awards that come from it. Balos is a must-visit if you’re in DC and take your food seriously. I’ll be back, probably sooner than I should. Bravo to the whole team.

Wow—thank you for such an incredibly thoughtful and generous review. We're truly honored to be mentioned alongside dining icons like Le Bernardin and Lewis Barbecue, and even more touched to hear how deeply your experience at Balos resonated with you. From the moment guests walk through our doors, our goal is to create a space where warmth, care, and exceptional hospitality come together—and it’s clear that our team, especially Nico, delivered just that. We're so proud of him and thrilled that his personal touch helped shape such a memorable evening for you. Hearing how much you enjoyed our dishes means the world to our culinary team. It’s passion like yours that fuels us, and your words remind us why we do what we do. We can’t wait to welcome you back! Warmly, Balos Management
