Took our colleagues to our go to Mexican in Washington DC and everyone loved it (we already knew). Food was fantastic. A little loud (some outbursts from bar area) to carry on conversation but all had a good time. We all had spent significant time in Mexico and thought food was authentic. Need more Mexican beer selection though More

Exceptional service and cuisine. The staff went to great lengths to accommodate my specific seating requests. The tables are well spaced, the noise level is perfectly reasonable, the staff are attentive but not intrusive, and the specialty sushi rolls are unforgettable. Spent 2.5 hours over dinner here on a first date and could not have asked for a better place or experience. More

Had a wonderful night out for my birthday at DBGB! The menu was a fresh take on classic French favorites. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, and no time was wasted getting us our menus, and bread for the table. Our server was friendly and attentive for our entire visit. To start, we shared the escargots, and were brought chilled asparagus soup compliments of the chef. Our entrees were the Singapore Duck and Dayboat scallops. Both were delicious, and we cleaned our plates. They graciously brought out a dessert of my choice on the house. The strawberry rhubarb cheesecake was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Bonus - they make a great cup of coffee. We will definitely be back to try brunch some time! More

It is expensive to drink and eat here, but the prices are equivalent to the food and services you receive. The cocktail menu had unique options for you to choose from. I had the roasted brussell sprouts and carrots and the soft shell crabs as an appetizer. Both were well seasoned and delicious. The short ribs were prepared medium rare and melted in your mouth. More

Ordinarily when a restaurant knows it’s a special occasion the rest will provide the honoree with a special desert. This time they just brought the dessert out and placed it in front of the honoree. There was no candle or Happy Birthday design on the plate. The presentation was very weak. Overall the dining experience was good, but the acknowledgement of the celebration was poor........ More

Good food and dinner has a happy hour every day. Can get a Singha beer for $2.50 at happy hour with an entree. Even on the weekends! Will definitely be coming back. The location wasn’t ideal but it is in Chinatown. More

I had never been before, but loved Crimson! Before dinner we grabbed a drink at the downstairs whiskey bar level, which was massive, but still such a cozy, relaxed vibe. The diner's menu was vast and had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from (much appreciated, Crimson, thank you!!) and the milkshakes and cocktails were delicious. Prices were very reasonable for what you got, and I can't wait to go back and try more. Service was rather slow, but that was the only negative, which is not bad at all. More
