Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Bloomingdale / Brookland

I enjoyed the food, but I was disappointed that I couldn't make any changes to the brunch items. I was told that everything is pre-prepared and served exactly as described on the menu. For instance, I don't like mushrooms and couldn't request their removal from my omelet. The waiter explained that it would be too time-consuming and put too much strain on the kitchen staff to cook items to order.

Saturday evening at Centrolina was an awesome experience. The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious. My wife's first time having squab and it was a real treat. The white bolognese was creative and extremely tasty. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed. Definitely a place I would take family visiting from out of town for an upscale dinner.

Can't comment on the tacos because I wasn't looking for the tacos. An excellent special queso fundido and the pato con hoisin mole was outstanding. Whoever commented that the food was bland must have eaten elsewhere. Only complaint was that the main course came out too fast.

I love it when an Indian restaurant's menu offers more than the usual dishes, and that's the case at Masala Arts. Very tasty stuff!

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
