Best Cozy Restaurants in Washington

This was my second visit to the restaurant within a month, and I'm pleased to say it was a much smoother experience than the first. The service was attentive and helpful, and the food was outstanding. We started with the Caesar salad, which is likely my favorite dish on the menu, followed by the Fritto Primavera. The Caesar salad was crisp and flavorful, while the Fritto Primavera was perfectly fried and accompanied by a delicious dipping sauce. For our main courses, my wife had the branzino and I opted for the pork shank. Both dishes were superb—the pork shank was tender and fell off the bone, while the branzino was complemented by a lovely caper sauce that truly elevated the dish. As for the ambiance, we visited in the early evening when it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant had its Christmas decorations up, which added a warm and festive touch to the atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning.

Great place for both relaxed and fancier occasions. Ate here for my girlfriends graduation meal and although busy, service was prompt and food and drinks were amazing. Prices more than reasonable for the quality of food and waiter (with all the pins) had great knowledge of menu and recommendations.

So for starters, it’s gorgeous. The architecture was so interesting mainly because it’s so ornate and large, so I had to look up what it used to be, and it used to be a bank and supposedly they preserved some of the original bank features like the vault. I’d love to have a tour of the actual building. I am an escargot snob. Theirs was OK. The strip, Brussels, and Mac were very good. I have leftovers and I cannot wait to eat them.

Wow!!!! Service 10/10 Ayanna was great! Deshaun was awesome showed us the private area and the food was intoxicating! The chef brought out some trinity spring rolls that was so good I wanted to cry. Overall 10/10 A must try if you’re in DC

Tater tots appitizer was a big hit. Our group had the Ahi Tuna, Sea Bass, two steaks, and a seafood salad with jumbo shrimp. All were top shelf. Topped it off with the pumpkin cheesecake which was to die for. Great place to have a meal in DC.
