Best Family Style Restaurants in Washington DC

My wife and I enjoyed a Valentine’s dinner at Wildfire. The special menu was great. We shared the bacon wrapped scallops and the Caesar salad. Both of us chose the petite filet mignon then shared the berry crisp dessert. The food was well prepared and delicious. The service was good but there were several delays between courses. Paired with nice wine, we enjoyed the evening out.

It was our anniversary and our server Lily made it very special for us. She was sweet, personable and ended our night with a personalized dessert that even included how many years we have been married, 33!

We dined in for Valentine’s Day and took advantage of the 3 course pre fix menu. The flavors were excellent, but the portions for both the appetizers and desserts were barely more than a mouthful. I’ve eaten here before and enjoyed everything about the experience. Maybe shrinkflation?

We visited Brix on Valentine’s Day. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the pork chops and really enjoyed them. Brix is a real gem— a comfortable, classy, casual restaurant where you’re greeted with a smile and the servers can practically read your mind. Jose was attentive yet unobtrusive, and this added to an already perfect evening. We will be back on a regular basis!

Our second time here, and it was just as amazing as the first time. First and most important, the food is amazing. I love Greek/Mediterranean food, and this is literally just as good as when I was in Santorini. Fresh, Very flavorful, expertly prepared. Service is very friendly and prompt. It's a lovely, simple place, clean and welcoming. Of special note, get the fried cheese (Saganaki), and the grilled Octopus is fantastic. The lamb chops are amazing. Seriously, just get everything 😁
