Best Date Night Restaurants in NoMad

Caesar salad was overdressed, brick chicken was good, bread was fair and wines by the glass good

Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.

It's Wolfgang's, would you expect anything less than 5 stars? I am trying to find something to criticize them about but cannot find anything. The food and service are both off the charts.

Just moved to town. Have been there twice already. Yum!

Good food with generous portions. Service is friendly and attentive. Dining room is small but not as loud as I expected. Lot of vegetarian options had cheese so check out the menu before you come if you’re vegan. I’m not vegan and enjoyed my meal.
