    Great experience at Cordelia. The food was very good. The whole black bass with chermoula was a standout. The small and large plates came out at the same time, meant to be shared by the table. Grilled calamari slightly overcooked but delicious. Nice wine selection, good value. And lots of gluten free options too. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night but still not too loud to have a conversation comfortably. A great addition to the neighborhood

    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!

    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!
