This was our first time visiting The Pembroke. Our service was great, loved our outdoor table. The menu selection and prices were reasonable. The only negative was the $20 parking fee that the valet had not mentioned nor did we see signage. Quite a high fee. More

I will recognize immediately that this is a classic expensive steakhouse so this was not a surprise. The service would outstanding, with the server and assistant server always being nearby, friendly and helpful. The food was very good but, to be honest, I've had better steak. But let's start at the beginning. Getting a reservation and later adjusting the time was easy. The location was convenience to my meeting and the setting was something out of Hollywood, old and dark the way a steakhouse used to be. My colleague and I ordered drinks but my colleagues preferred drink, while on the menu, was unavailable. My preferred drink (Blanton's Burbon) was not available. We were able to substitute. We ordered some appetizers and which turned out to be very nice (stuffed mushrooms and seared tuna). We both ordered New York Strip steaks (slightly different varieties). Mine was cooked correctly but was a little stringy. The flavor was perfect as were the vegetables. All in all, it was a very nice meal but, as we were leaving, we agreed that we would have preferred another restaurant we've been to before (Morton's came to mind). More

We took a friend to La Tomate for a lovely dinner. The food was great, and the quiet and attractive dining area made chatting easy. Two of us had the linguine with the mussels and tuna — delicious! My husband had the salmon and he enjoyed his as well. I am looking forward to a return trip. More

Servers were very communicative regarding what contained gluten. Unfortunately, some of the items on the "gluten-free" menu were not truly gluten free as there was cross contamination. Thankfully, the servers were aware of this and let me know. More

Dyisha is the best server I had in a long time. Her recommendation was spot on. Have dinner there and enjoy any dish. You will not be disappointed More

The restaurant is nicely decorated and inviting. We were seated immediately at a nice table in a quiet area. Our waiter was excellent! Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Food was very good, and the menu choices were nicely varied but not too big. Location was convenient to Farragut North and Dupont Circle. I would definitely go back when we’re here visiting our daughter. More

Fresh and delicious Indian food! Our first visit was for lunch on Saturday. We had the cauliflower in a spicy tomato sauce (Lasooni ghobi) for appetizer followed by the lunch special, which includes either a salad or soup, any entree from the menu, and dessert. We tried the palak paneer and chicken in mango sauce. Both came with rice, naan, and a side of Mattar paneer. You can choose your spice level so we asked for medium hot. Everything was delicious - spicy but not too hot and good portion sizes for lunch- not too large. We each received a small dish of rice pudding with almonds for dessert. I was quite full by then, so I was glad it was just a small taste. It is obvious that the food is made with fresh ingredients and attention to detail. The service was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely return for dinner! More

Service was great as always. Our server must've thought it was taking long for some reason, and the manager came out to extend apologies, and offer free dessert. The only odd thing was that we never complained or said anything at all. I thought that was super nice and thoughtful, and a great way to take care of your customers. ONLY COMPLAINT WAS NOT ONE GLUTEN FREE PASTA OPTION. More

Nero was wonderful! Small and intimate with great ambiance! We came for a date night and all of the food was delicious. My favorite was the shrimp risotto my boyfriend loved the pizza fries and samosas. The drinks were also delicious and our server was nice and attentive. We’ll definitely be back soon! More

The food was tasty enough. We were there early evening and could tell by the DJ presence and livelier by the minute music that things were going to get quite cranked up for a pleasant club scene vibe. The seating was just a little too low for my taste but they did have high chairs also. Still, a perfect spot for a drink and some musical entertainment. More

I loved the Italian Food Walking Tour in Dupont Circle. Dave was very knowledgeable about the food, restaurants, and the area architecture. The food at each restaurant was simple and the courses complimented each other. The wild mushroom risotto first course and lasagna were my favorite courses. We had a nice variety of old established restaurants and one newer trendier place on the tour. I would definitely go back to each of them. It was a filling afternoon, but walking a few blocks between locations helped to burn off some of the calories! Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a leisurely afternoon of eating and meeting new people. More

Discover Dupont Circle
Thanks to its proximity to Embassy Row, the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. caters to the truly cultured palate. Shout "Opa!" over a few Greek small plates, blend in with the locals with a pub-style liquid brunch or go fully upscale at one of the boutique hotels and French bistros nearby. Although you may rub elbows with big shots along the way, you can still bask in the neighborhood's slow pace among some of the city's most iconic historical mansions. From dining on authentic tapas outdoors to digging into authentic DC-style chili bowls, new tastes await around every corner. Don't be afraid to take a stroll away from the actual circle itself, since you're only a few blocks from Michelin-star cuisine in multiple directions.
