Restaurants near Engine Company 17

Everything was fantastic. I hadn’t been here in 11 or 12 years but it was just as wonderful an experience as it was back then. Endless bread, attentive waiters, great selection of drinks, what more could one ask for?

It doesn’t get much better than Filomena’s - especially for Italian food! Service is excellent the restaurant is adorable… our only complaint is that they cram you in like sardines. If you’re looking for an intimate experience this is not the place for you. I could smell the perfume of the lady sitting next to me on one side and on the other side seven people crammed into a space for four or five max, the one guys chair was basically up against our table. All that said, if you’ve been here, you know to expect your neighbors to basically be in your lap, but the food, service and wine make up for it.

My husband and I had the pleasure of trying La Grande Boucherie DC earlier this week. I must say MOUHSSINE's professionalism and kindness stood out. He was not only highly efficient and knowledgeable, but also made sure we felt welcome and valued. His attentive service and approachable demeanor added an extra touch to the dining experience. It's clear that he genuinely cares about providing excellent service, and I would gladly return knowing that such a dedicated professional is overseeing the operations. Highly recommend!

Certainly a go to in downtown DC. Tuesday night and the place was hopping. Had a reservation, and we weee promptly seated. Service was perfect and food and drink excellent. Plenty of great places to eat downtown. This definitely on my favorites list.

This is a tried and true favorite. Took a student who is interning in DC and shel loved it. The place was packed and traffice was terrible so i got there late, bt I asked for them to hold the reservation. The hostesses, down to the wait staff were awesome. High energy - lots of Capital Hill celebs there.
