Restaurants near The Fairfax at Embassy Row

We had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner. The seafood spread was plentiful and fresh, they were putting fresh seafood out about every 5 minutes. All 3 courses were perfectly cooked apart from the octopus which my friend found to be a little on the salty side, she loved the pasta and sauce that came with it. I had the prime filet and it lived up to the definition “melt in your mouth tender”. The service was perfect, Daniel Penda who attended to us was friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on. Everyone else was very friendly and we had several people check on us at appropriate times to see that we were having a lovely dinner. I definitely would recommend for a special occasion or fancy dinner. The ambiance at The Pembroke is perfect for that.

We were looking for something close to our hotel, what a great find. I had the lamb chops; they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the bolognese with fettuccine. For dessert I had Chocolate salame w/ cookie crumbs, pistachio, hazelnut, served w/ a side of gelato macchiato My husband had the Apple & cinnamon, shortbread tart, hazelnut gelato, dark chocolate, Italian meringue Both were delicious. Portions are generous, presentations were lovely and service was great.

I had the scallops with beans and mushrooms. Tasted really good except my scallops were a little under cook for my taste. Others enjoy their dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs, parmesan chicken delicious

Bistrot du Coin is a wonderful French bistro. The food and service are excellent, and the ambiance is just like the bistros we visited in France. The mussels were delicious, the cassoulet was very tasty and my husband really enjoyed the rabbit stew. Be sure to get a reservation!

we have gone to this restaurant many times. we have never had anything but a magical yes magical experience. from the warmth of the greeting to the whole ambiance and other diners. everyone is having a great time, relaxed, unhurried. the food is next level as is the wine. it’s worth every penny we save up to go all in. there are very reasonable price points on the menu but this is the kind of place you should save up and splurge.
