Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Foggy Bottom

We went to Mallard's for Valentine's Day weekend. We had seen a great article about it in the Washington Post. It was our first time there and we enjoyed it! The food was great, even though they had a curated set of options for the holiday. We enjoyed what we had, especially the waygu beef entree, and we look forward to exploring the broader dinner menu which looked spectacular. The service was exceptional and our server was attentive, personable, and insightful. Well done, Mallard. We look forward to our next visit!

Visited for the all you can eat brunch and welcomed by courteous staff in a beautiful setting. The value is amazing as plenty of food is provided! Next time I will be sure to state which items I do not need/want! Definitely will be back! Only con was a large table for birthday party that impacted the ambience and noise drastically.

This was an amazing experience I really enjoyed the fact that from the moment you arrive they make it feel personal as if you and your guest as if you rented out the place.. every dish was explained in great culinary fashion and I love the way each server and host incorporated their knowledge of the dish being served. Hands down one of the premier experiences in the D.C area and a must for impressing any level of company you have. The value is very worth it but the experience is priceless..

5 course Prix Fix Valentines menu. Everything was on point. Mascarpone bruschetta, mushroom soup, short rib ragu pasta, branzino, finished off with a chocolate temptation and a nice bottle of wine. Service was excellent, area is cute, dining is on the main floor of an old house. Very nice.

lovely authentic Scandinavian/Finnish restaurant with an unbelievable selection of baked goods. Really delicious karadamon buns and smoked salmon eggs benedict. And go get yourself some original Semla buns. they are in season now.
