1789
Neighborhood: Georgetown

1226 36th St NW
Washington, DC 20007

Marcy Lola R. writes: How the Man landed a reservation on such short notice (or if it was short notice!) I will never know. A week long trip to the city for work on short notice did not lend itself to great dining prospects. Fast forward to a terribly hot and humid…

Vace Italian Delicatessen & Homemade Pasta

3315 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20008

MiRIAM w. writes: Some people dream about buying flat screen TVs or fancy shoes, but most of my retail fantasies involve food. So, walking into Vace was for me was what descending on a small boutique filled with steeply discounted Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik &…

Tabard Inn Restaurant
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1739 N St NW
Washington, DC 20036

Jason C. writes: Saturday brunch? I really didn't know such a thing was possible. I mean, there's Sunday brunch. And, uh, breakfast Monday through Friday. I figured Saturday woulda piggybacked on Friday.

So I get my first date in over three months and she can only…

2 Amys

Washington, DC 20016

Kevin L. writes: (puts on his industrial engineering statistician hat)

Currently, of the 97 reviews for 2 Amys, 57 are 5-star for over a 50% rate. Adding in the 22 4-star ratings brings the cumulative rate of above-standard ratings to over 75%. Add in another 9…

Tysons Corner Center

1961 Chain Bridge Rd
Mc Lean, VA 22102

Alli H. writes: It doesn't really matter what you need--
New shoes?
Hand lotion?
A slutty shirt?
A new tie?
Dinner?
A manicure?
Birthday presents?
Diamonds?
A monumental waste of time?
Coffee?
A fake head of hair with gems attached?
--It doesn't matter, Tyson's definitely has…

Ray's the Steaks

1725 Wilson Blvd
Arlington, VA 22209

Su K. writes: When describing transcendent dining experiences, people will most often use the word orgasmic or some variation thereof, e.g., foodgasm and orgasmeat. Ray's the Steaks goes beyond merely fulfilling some foodborne horniness, it makes me want to change…

Sticky Fingers Bakery
Neighborhood: Columbia Heights

1370 Park Rd NW
Washington, DC 20010

Meghan G. writes: When a crunchy granola vegan tells you these are the best vegan baked goods around...'great, im sure they are lovely' might come to mind. Well this yelper is a bona-fide meat eating, butter loving, give me cheese with a side of steak kinda gal. And…

Restaurant Eve

110 S Pitt Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

Justin S. writes: It's not likely I'll ever be able to properly enjoy the full tasting menu here or anywhere else where the per-person tab might break $200, let alone be able to write a knowleadgeable review of the experience as compared to other market options.…

El Pollo Rico

932 N Kenmore St
Arlington, VA 22201

Cashion's Eat Place
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

1819 Columbia Rd NW
Washington, DC 20009

Kevin L. writes: Hate to say it, but...

I think that Tabard Inn may have just been replaced as my favorite late brunching spot in the District.

Yeah. You read me right. I can't believe it, either. But after a phenomenal meal here with the crew, I've resigned myself…

Equinox Restaurant

818 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20006

MiRIAM w. writes: Impressing San Francisco food snobs in Washington, D.C. is a daunting task. Enter Equinox.

I came here this evening to sample cider-based cocktails with my platonic life partner in crime. We ordered the Pumpkin Cobbler (cinnamon-infused rum,…

Obelisk
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

2029 P St NW
Washington, DC 20036

MiRIAM w. writes: After dining at Obelisk it's easy to see why yelpers rank it the best restaurant in DC. In a word: superb.

The prix-fixe menu consists of five courses, three of which you choose. The antipasti comes rolling out after you make your choices and really…

Java Green

1020 19th St NW
Washington, DC 20036

Stef W. writes: Java Green Stream of Consciousness
(An Eco-Friendly stream, of course)

Need something sweet, but healthy
Head to Java Green
Why the heck does this place always have the longest lines during lunch hour?
Greek Deli's lines are shorter!
Why is everyone so…

Montmartre
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill/Southeast

327 7th St SE
Washington, DC 20003

Brooke S. writes: Dear Braised Rabbit,

I want to thank you for the food-gasm you gave me. OMFG, it was amazing. Also, your restaurant is run by people who clearly know exactly what they're doing. Their timing was perfect and service was impeccably attentive. You were…

Komi
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1509 17th Street NW
Washington, DC 20050

MiRIAM w. writes: There's no shortage of "fine dining" restaurants in Washington, D.C. however they seem to spawn more from ostentation and from what expense account diners are willing to spend than from love of food or epicurean aspiration. I am continually…

Lighthouse Tofu

4121 Chatelain Road
Suite 100
Annandale, VA 22003

jenn h. writes: I LOOOOOOOOOOVE soon dubu! For anyone who hasn't experienced this comforting perfection in a pot from my people, let me just tell you: Korean food is not all about the grilled kalbi and bulgogi meats. That seems to be what the K-food (not to be…

Kabob Palace

2315 S Eads St
Arlington, VA 22202

Justin S. writes: I've held off writing about Kabob Palace because it's pretty well covered here on Yelp, but I do love it and want to share. I'll keep this simple:

Kabob Palace is open 24hrs. The food is great. The food is cheap. The place is a dive. If you get…

Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries

4626 King St
Alexandria, VA 22302

Eurry K. writes: As a native Californian, I really enjoyed my Five Guys burger and fries. I don't care what people say. Fellow Californians think that I'm blasphemous for enjoying Five Guys having had the In 'N Out burger and fries. No, I say! I will not pledge…

Lost Dog Cafe

5876 Washington Blvd
Arlington, VA 22205

Stef W. writes: ***4.5 Stars***

Lost Dog gets me as excited as a bitch in heat! Seriously!

I'm a pizza girl, and the pizza here is very good. I particularly enjoy the White Pizza II with fontina, and the Greek Pizza with spinach, olives and feta. Pies range from $9…

Murky Coffee

3211 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, VA 22201

PC W. writes: As I sit in Murky Coffee and wait for the power to be restored in my apartment, I discover that I have yet to yelp it. I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't frequent Murky too often. I like it - the grungy atmosphere is most befitting of the…

Thai Square

3217 Columbia Pike
Arlington, VA 22204

Bill M. writes: Thai Square is like Emmanuel Lewis' smile - tiny and addictive.

Like the others here have said, it's small. My bird and I went early on a Friday (like 5:30) and we had to wait 10-15, which isn't bad, but when we were leaving, the queue was longer and…

Tachibana Japanese Restaurant

6715 Lowell Ave
McLean, VA 22101

Xi W. writes: The fish here is amazing. How amazing?

I could not control myself from moaning as I tasted the uni (urchin gonads). Then again when I tasted toro (fatty tuna). The most amazing part of my entire sushi dining experience was when I tasted my friend's…

Pho 75

1721 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, VA 22209

Dave L. writes: Faux pas

*At an undisclosed government agency*
GS-14: Hey Dave, you wanna grab some faux this weekend?
Me: What's faux?
GS-14: (disbelief) You've never had faux?? OMG, I totally have to take you. I know this great place called Faux 75. You'll love it!…

L'Auberge Chez Francois

332 Springvale Rd
Great Falls, VA 22066

Mary S. writes: Wow! This is a wonderful French restaurant hidden off a winding road in Great Falls. I never really enjoyed French food until I dined at L'Auberge Chez Francois. Their food and service are always outstanding. The meal starts off with an Amuse…

Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2434 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Saurabh G. writes: Ethiopian vegetarian food is a lot like Indian food. It is so similar that you could actually mistake one for the other, if not for the spices, color, tomatoes, and the lack of Injera present in Indian cuisine.

I used to eat Ethiopian cuisine fairly…

Asylum
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2471 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Anne L. writes: Asylum: Biker Haven or Vegan Delight?

In this Adams Morgan classic, Dungeon chic rules and secures the line against tacky theme restaurants. The upstairs is cozy with draped velvet, chandeliers, live music, and black dragon adorned bar and DJ booth.…

Politics & Prose Bookstore and Coffeehouse
Neighborhood: Chevy Chase

5015 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20008

Gayle G. writes: How appropriate to review this place the day after Election Day. It has been awesome to see this store move across the street to a bigger space, add a cafe and most recently buy up the place next door. They carry a good amount of books- the claim is…

Cake Love
Neighborhood: U Street Corridor

1506 U Street NW
Washington, DC 20009

Evan C. writes: As a fat man, I know cake, I've lived with cake, in fact I may be part cake. With that being said I love Cake Love. They don't make the traditional American style cake, you know the one where its all icing with a hint of cake, this is more European…

Tryst Coffee House Bar & Lounge
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2459 18th Street NW
Washington, DC 20009

Ed to the M. writes: The food wasn't that great here - I got I believe a "Hot Sally" sandwich which is a tuna melt that had unmelted cheese and sour tuna - but really, this place is a coffee house with fast free WiFi, strong lattes, excellent robust selection of iced and…

Sushi Taro
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1503 17th St NW
Washington, DC 20036

Jason C. writes: With over 100 reviews to its credit, there seemingly isn't more I could do to entice the sushi lover to come here. So I won't. What I will do, however, is state that it's the perfect sushi place for non-sushi fans.

That may not sound compelling at…

Hank's Oyster Bar
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1624 Q St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Kevin L. writes: Dang! The most concise way I can describe Hank's phenomenal lobster roll is this: Five Guys meets Phillips Seafood!

Instead of a little bun that's barely enough to support the giant meat patties offered up by a Five Guys burger, imagine a very…

The Tombs
Neighborhood: Georgetown

1226 36th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20007

Leila S. writes: If I were to post on craigslist tonight, it would look a little something like this...

The Italian Store

3123 Lee Highway
Arlington, VA 22201

Courtney R. writes: We had an office lunch catered today by this place. Easily the best hoagie I've had outside of Philly/Jersey (but the bread is nowhere near as good, as if that's possible anyway).

Minus one star because there were no tomatoes included in the big…

Ichi Ban Sushi Restaurant

6821A Old Dominion Dr
Mc Lean, VA 22101

Maggie B. writes: Before you do anything, just listen: get the calamari salad. Trust me. I wouldn't steer you wrong. Be warned: it's highly addictive and you will find yourself with uncontrollable hankerings. If it's chilly and your tummy needs some warming, get the…

Kabob Bazaar

3133 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, VA 22201

Leila S. writes: Am I biased writing a review for my parents' own restaurant? YES, but I don't care! :)

Julia's Empanadas
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1221 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20036

Chang W. writes: For the betterment of science, I decided to conduct an experiment at Julia's Empanadas last night. I ate one empanada while I was still sober and one after I was piss ass drunk. The verdict: they taste good no matter what mental state you're in. I'll…

Amsterdam Falafelshop
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2425 18th Street NW
Washington, DC 20050

Kevin L. writes: What do you do after you've just been out at Halo with the boys, you're sloshed, you're with your favorite Fashion Adviser, and you have to drive home that night? Head up to the AdMo and find something greasy and starchy to soak up some of the…

Tosca

1112 F St NW
Washington, DC 20004

Justin S. writes: Tosca's website is very informative and lists the whole menu, which was a major selling point for me. I saw that there were numerous homemade stuffed pastas on the menu & I was sold...

My girlfriend and I each got the pre-theater tasting menu ($35…
