Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Bloomingdale / Brookland

Great place to go before the Caps game. Celebrated Black History Month with the Capital’s theme night. Great music. Place was jumping

Good moderately-priced place with basic decor. Great happy hour, esp. for bites at the bar only. And they support community activities.

it was our first time at Petite Cerise and we loved it. Delicious food, cocktails and wine at a relatively reasonable price and a really nice manager and server. delighted to hear it's open for breakfast and brunch too! This is our new go-to restaurant downtown...

My server was very attentive in our needs. Thank you 😊

As usual, the food at Mi Vida was outstanding. We shared an order of guacamole and an order of shrimp tacos, which were both excellent. We also has a couple different kinds of margaritas, also excellent. The problem was the service, which was absolutely disjointed, uncoordinated and untimely. We asked for the guacamole and tacos to be served at the same time. They were not. The guac arrived first, followed about five minutes later by the tacos. Only then did out drinks arrive. Although the restaurant was not busy, it took forever to catch our server's attention to find our what was happening. Hey Mi Vida wait staff: Here's a clue--if you don't see drinks already on the table, that's a sign that the food should not yet be served. Never has this problem at other Knead Restaurant Group properties. Maybe it's just a Mi Vida Penn Quarter problem.
