Restaurants near Washington Union Station DC

This is the spot if you want good food, amazing service and great ambiance. A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. It was a good Valentine’s Dinner.

I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

service was exceptional! attentive but not hovering. The French onion soup was the best I've had outside of France--not too much bread, delicious onion broth/onions and lots of perfectly browned cheese. Creme Brûlée and chocolate soufflé were also excellent, as were the quiche and salmon. Very good wine and cocktail menu, and the food menu, while not exhaustive, had variety and everyone in our party had trouble deciding between several dishes they were sure they would like. We went for late lunch and easily found street parking, but suspect that was luck, but Hotel Sonesta has a garage--did not ask if they validated parking. While not cheap, very reasonable for quality and quantity of food--portions were reasonable, but not the huge portions sometimes offered to make up for inferior quality at some restaurants. We were first-time diners but will definitely be back!

They have had since 1856 to perfect the art of service. They have not wasted a bit of that time. We had a server and he was fantastic. With that, the entire brigade worked as a fantastic machine and supported the goal of quick and perfect service for the guest. I have never had apps arrive so quickly at a restaurant before. I even threw another order in while ordering our main course and it was on the table 2 minutes later. The quality of the food is top notch as well. The roast beef sandwich had a bit of bite on it that was unexpected but definitely not unappreciated. As I was dinning with my 13 year old son tonight, I also appreciated the non alcoholic options on the drink menu. It was great to have a delicious option that wasn't a soda. Overall, this is a MUST for any visit to DC.

We’ve been dreaming about our return to Art and Soul, the fried chicken is amazing. The short ribs were prepared to perfection. Great cocktail choices. We weren’t offered dessert but we were full. Unfortunately, there was a company Happy Hour and it was very loud. There are 2 glass sliders but they were never closed to reduce the noise for the diners. We’ll return. We love the food.
