Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Columbia Heights / Brightwood

Ted's is always a great choice. The food is good and the ambiance is informal and welcoming. The staff is exceptional. We sat for a very long time after we finished eating and they were incredibly warm and totally supportive of our sitting and visiting with our friends. It was like being in our living room. We whole heartedly recommend Ted's Bulletin!!!

Wonderful servers and bus people. A little drafty at our table since it was in the line of the door and cold out. Great food nice atmosphere.

I recently hosted my team’s weekly meeting over breakfast at Ted’s Bulletin, NOMA, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we walked in, I was struck by the beautiful ambiance and chic décor—a perfect blend of modern sophistication and comfort that set the tone for a productive and enjoyable morning. The customer service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly for our group. They were welcoming and quick to accommodate any requests, making us feel right at home. Of course, the food was another highlight! From their hearty breakfast options to their creative coffee selections, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My team couldn’t stop raving about their dishes. If you’re looking for a spot that combines style, service, and substance, Ted’s Bulletin in NOMA is the place to go. It was the perfect venue for our meeting, and I’ll definitely be back—whether for business or just a relaxing meal. Highly recommend!

The City Tap House - Penn Quarter was PACKED so I'm glad we were able to get reservations. The food was excellent, but conversation at the dinner table was difficult because it was very noisy. We had a few issues with ordering via the QR code. When I ordered my food, the site returned an error. When I resubmitted my order, I had two orders. I was able to flag down someone who had to go to the kitchen to cancel my duplicate order. Then I had a third food order waiting to be submitted, so I had to flag someone down again to delete it from my order. The online system could use some improvements, but overall it was a good experience. The food and drinks came out quickly and I found I actually liked ordering and paying from my phone. The link to Apple Pay made it a SNAP! That being said, I received a phishing email overnight that my Apple Pay had been suspended. I deleted that, but it makes me wonder about the security of the online system.

This was my first time at Letena and it was excellent! Will definitely be back. My table shared a platter and each item was delicious. The restaurant smelled amazing when you walked in the door. Servers constantly kept my water full.
