Restaurants near Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington

Everyone greeted us warmly and directed us to the table. We sat in a private space large enough for our group and were introduced to our server immediately. The menu was clear and the choices all seemed exciting. We ordered drinks and chose the Pre Fixe option. The $60 set price was a good deal and all of the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the space, the food, and the service. I definitely recommend it.

My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

We tried Moon Rabbit for lunch (not easy to get a dinner reservation) and it was a perfect experience. The decor is simple, beautiful, spacious, and welcoming. The servers were gracious & helpful but not intrusive. Flatware and plates were changed frequently like they are in a Michelin-star restaurant. The food was SO creative, not overly salty nor smothered with garlic. Portions were just right for sampling multiple offerings and sharing between 2 people. We had the Chinese broccoli & the squash salad, the stuffed leaves, the mussels, the catfish & the fried chicken. All superb. We had room for dessert and actually ended up trying all 3 offerings. I cannot choose a favorite! None was too rich or too much. We also enjoyed their wine selection which matched very well with the Vietnamese cuisine.

Had a great first experience at The Smith. Our server Terra was very nice and conveyed the specials and the menu well. She made sure we were having a great experience which can be a rare find in restaurants now a days. The pressed chicken was fantastic as was the 3 leaf salad. Great spot for before a Caps game. Looking forward to my next visit and will recommend to friends. Thanks Terra!

Tried taste of the south for brunch on New Years Day. The restaurant is cute, service was outstanding! Our waiter was amazing, I wish I caught his name. Smashed potatoes and shrimp and grits were delicious. Already planing a visit back for dinner :)
