Best Lunch Restaurants in Penn Quarter

My niece , her husband and two kids (ages 16 and 12) were visiting from out of town. I thought Jaleo would be a good and fun place for dinner. Everyone enjoyed choosing their small plates and deciding which they liked best. It was more fun for them than eating at a traditional restaurant. Most of the dishes (a wide variety!) were hits. They wisely looked at the menu before arriving. There's a lot to choose from and it can be confusing. Service was good, it was a lot for them to keep up with the busy customers and food delivery, so we appreciate that. We had a great time at Jaleo!

Excellent experience, as always. We look forward to dining at Zaytinya. It's one of our favorite restaurants in DC.

I was with a party of 6 and every item we ordered was amazing, from cocktails to dessert. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We has such a wonderful evening there.

We went there before a Caps game and got there late due to Red Line delays. The service at Oyamel was very fast and enabled us to make it to the game on time. Food was excellent.

Some members of my party were late and the restaurant waits to seat you until everyone is in attendance. They were very kind to hold our table well past the reservation time. The two waiters were thorough in their menu explanations. They were attentive, timely, and friendly. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had in DC in a veryyyy long time. The customer service was top-notch. Food was great too. We ordered an assortment of appetizers and entrees. Everything everyone had was delicious.
