Best Date Night Restaurants in Van Ness

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. The food was amazing from start to finish. We loved the grape leaves, rice cakes, tuna, quail, and cabbage. The large plate was terrific with the pork meatballs and broth the star of the show. Our waitress along with the rest of the kitchen staff was also the best. I definitely recommend this restaurant in DC.

Everything we ate was delicious! We loved the corn empanadas and the wagyu fajitas!

We chose to eat at this restaurant because it was close to the Christmas markets that occurs in downtown. Washington DC seasonally. The restaurant is located inside of the Monaco hotel. we read a lot of things online about how great the food was, and it did not disappoint! The salmon, the butternut squash, and the rack of lamb were very impressive, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bartender makes a pretty good old-fashioned as well.

Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

We had made our reservations and when we arrived the hostess just sent us to the back. We had requested one of the tables by the front window ( it was open) when we were finally seated it was in the middle of everything. The food and wait staff were outstanding. Had the Tuna, steak, cheese and honey,octopus and calamari. Everything was delicious.
