Restaurants near The Fridge DC

I've eaten at Belga many times but not recently. I really like the clean-lined refresh they did to the interior which now compliments the excellent food coming out of the kitchen. We were there for a business lunch and the atmospherics were perfect...lively acoustically but still able to talk easily without being overheard. Our waiter was a little over zealous but read the room after a while and pulled back. I live and work on the Hill and love this institution. Wouldn't mind a few more all-veg options.

We enjoyed the food that we ordered. It appeared to take a long time to get our food. It was challenging to serve the food onto our plates because no spoons or extra utensils were provided. The kitchen seemed very busy, although the restaurant was relatively empty. Perhaps the kitchen was busy filling take out orders.

It’s a small place but quiet and has a nice atmosphere. They have a reasonable selection and decent quality sushi at very reasonable prices

Made an easy enough reservation online, the day before. Only had bar seating left, which was actually listed with reserved plaques when we arrived Restaurant is about a block away from eastern market metro. Street parking. $36+ unlimited tapas style plates. You can order as many plates as you want. They are kind of sample size, but very filling. Two drink options. Unlimited regular mimosas (various flavors) for $12 -OR- the same regular unlimited mimosas AND cocktails and other non alcoholic drinks I literally had the full menu of regular mimosas lol. My friend had a lemongrass or something cocktail the entire time, and loved them! We were seated at the bar and Courtney was our bartender. He was Amazing! The receipt comes out a little wonky, like it isn't exactly itemized, but it does come up to the price total as listed on the menu. We were told , its done that way to capture the cost of the drinks ..... This is not really a "turn up" spot. A mixed crowd, everyone had a good time tho! I don't recall if music was playing, but I was so busy catching up with my good friend. Such a lovely time!

Great brunch - portions were large. The Apple Spiced Pancakes were very good!
