    Entrance on K Street ( near 21st Str intersection)
    Maria V.

    Had to go for a morning meeting in downtown. It got delayed, I went in search of hearty breakfast. Was a bit skeptical I can find anything good besides coffee and carbs. Found a gem!!! This little cafe is wonderful. Sparkling clean, nice mild music, wonderful smells. I went for a large breakfast ( can easily be a lunch). Followed fellow Yelpers recommendation and ordered Western Omelette Platter. I was not disappointed. I asked for "everything " and there it was: spinach, cold cuts, extra cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, red and green peppers, I am sure I missed something. The omelette was large, tasty and , of course, made to order. It came with a large serving of tasty potatoes and two slices of grilled bread ( I chose the sourdough). Excellent service: efficient and with a smile. Their grilled sandwiches and salad bowls also look very good. Definitely recommend as a breakfast or lunch place

    As a Korean, I find the bibimbap bowl here to be the best in DC (where it's hard to find an authentic one), and I'm so grateful for it. The owners are so warm and kind that I feel at home here for that reason too. Long live Ahra Cafe!

    My favorite go to is the chipotle bowl ,but today i opted for the bibimbap. Smells and taste delicious

    They have raised all of their prices. $13.99 for a salad or a bowl? $4 extra to add some chicken? Way too expensive.

We sat outside on the patio and it was a gorgeous day. The decor is perfect and I love that they've added plants to cover the staircase. Drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly. Our water glasses were rarely empty. Service was kind. Food wise if I were to stack rank I would say the hummus is the best of what we ordered. The pita bread is thick and garlicky and oily and massive. The croquettes would be at the bottom of my list simply because they're dissimilar from any I've had before and a little bit underwhelming. The tuna was fresh but it's a small dish and not much to write home about. The lamb skewers have a subtle kick to them and they're pretty substantial. I'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend on a warm summer day as you're covered by the canopy above, if you're looking for a rooftop vibe.

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not.

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

They even elevated the traditional ceaser salad and made its citrus notes dance on your pallet differently.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to while I lived in DC, because to be honest, I never got in an Italian mood. Now that I no longer reside in the DC area, I use every visit to eat my faves and occasionally a new spot. So, after another popular (and cheaper) Italian place closed before I could finish my delivery order, I spotted L'Ardente. I ordered the famous Lasagna - their 40-layer specialty - with short rib sugo, truffle mornay, and Sottocenere Cheese. The truffle mornay added a smooth, melty, creamy cheese sauce. It is good, but I am not sure if it is worth the hype at $40 lagnasa. I think the cost is built into the work but not the flavor profile. I think the meal is better without the sauce - it made it too salty with it.
