Restaurants near Randall Pool

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?

We went there for bf's birthday and it was such a wonderful experience. The vibe was energetic with the right music and lighting, the service was great with just the right amount of attention to us. We didnt feel rushed and had plenty of time to have uninterrupted conversations with meals and drinks in between. We both wanted the beef wellie so we got that and the short rib and split both and they didnt disappoint.

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.

Had the best experience here at smoke & mirrors. From the entrance to being seated and receiving the best service. Perfect spot to try out in the city for my boyfriend birthday! Thank you

Restaurant week dinner--limited menu but every choice was very good and innovative: unusually good hummus with scallion pancakes in place of pita; terrific green papaya caesar; beautifully fried catfish with kimchi potato salad. Bonus for me that the kimchi is made without shrimp powder; and there are always gluten-free and vegan options for full meals. In fact, next week they debut a catfish sandwich on gluten-free bread, with cornmeal to pick up the flavor of the fish breading. Only the smashed cucumbers were underseasoned: they deserved garlic, a little soy sauce and lots more chili. A really fine meal worthy of Tim Ma's reputation.
