Best Waterfront Restaurants in Van Ness

It was for refreshing to have a dinner in the city where you could hear the person across the table from you. Very rare in Washington DC these days. The food was excellent, and our server was thoughtful and appropriately attentive. One of my pet peeves is that in most restaurants untrained bus boys are yanking plates off the table while others are eating. This goes on throughout the whole end of the dinner service and it's irritating AF. Either this staff is trained properly or because it was slower. No one was trying to turn the table. Either way, I appreciated not feeling rushed. This was the Thursday night and it was a little rainy, so the restaurant was pretty quiet. When I come back next time, I hope to have another quiet evening in the dining room. It was really nice to not have to scream across the table to have a conversation.

The menu offers multiple options for all tastes. This was my third visit to this location.

A must stop whenever in that part of the city, check it out

We went early because we had a show after dinner. So it might get a little loud when it's busy, i wouldn't know. But the service was great and the food was awesome. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in DC again. We had the Lioni burrata, so creamy. The chicken liver crositni, so smooth. The veal ravioli and tortellone aragosta, both great. My teenager had pasta with just butter and parmesan and it was also great. That's simple but it's still easy to mess it up.

Food was good. Omlette line was prohibitively long.
