- NNoelWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoA locally inspired, nurturing home of the very best experience you could have in a family restaurant that still surprises, inspires and delights. My favorite place in DC for decades now.More infoEquinox - DCPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.8
- MMatthewVIPWashington, D.C. Area •34 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoNice but nothing special dinner at CG - had not been for quite a while since Mothers Day the other year at NM location. Nice ambience….good service…wish the food was a little stronger….not bad just nothing memorable. To start, shared wings, focaccia, calamari and pork belly…all fine…pork belly was best of the bunch. Entrees included short rib (nice short rib but meh sides), scallops (good not great) and a couple of pizzas and burgers plus a side of bacon Mac & cheese (weakest of bunch). Truly wanted to give higher marks but at almost $100 a person all in with drinks (no bottles of wine but two cocktails/glasses of wine and each), was hoping for a bit more.More infoChef Geoff's West EndPrice: Moderate• American• West End•4.5

Our server was delightful and helpful. So was the host at the door. My friends enjoyed their meals, too!
