- AAnneChicago / Illinois •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoService was wonderful, all were very attentive! Suggested great pastas that I would love and paired with the best wine! Lovely especially with the Christmas decor still up. Everyone was having a good time.More infoFilomena RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Georgetown•4.8
- LLaurelVIPWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThe ambiance is unbeatable and the food was pretty good, but not exceptional for the price. The wine deal was great. The service was overall pretty good, but we had a few issues. When we arrived, with a reservation, we had to wait about 25 minutes for our table. We were eventually taken to the side room, so our table was nice, but I would’ve been disappointed if we’d gotten a table in the middle of the main area or upstairs because it wasn’t as cute and the main area was pretty chaotic. While waiting for the table, they suggested we wait at the bar, which we did, and nobody ever acknowledged us or took our order. When we sat down, there seemed to be confusion about who our server was and multiple people came up to our table to take our order and check on us. That being said, they were all very professional and helpful. I will say, it was my friend’s birthday, which I put on the reservation and reminded our (first) waiter, and they never did anything to acknowledge it. We ordered two desserts, and they didn’t even give her a candle!! I’ve never experienced that before, especially at a high-end restaurant. That was very disappointing.More infoLa Grande Boucherie - DCPrice: Very Expensive• French• Washington•4.4

Nothing from the restaurant. Maybe I expected too much.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
