    King Crab Empanada
    Kelci M.

    Really friendly service and tasty drinks but be prepared to spend a lot of money for only a little amount of food! I came with a friend and we each had 2 drinks, 1 king crab empanada (they come in a pair) & split a 14oz NY steak and the bill was $180 before tip. I was excited to try the Alaskan king crab empanadas and they tasted fishy which was a major disappointment. In my experience crab can taste fishy if you keep it in the freezer for a long period of time before eating. Sadly, I cannot recommend.

    We went in for lunch. As you walk into the restaurant, you are welcome by the open kitchen exposing a beautiful wood fire and friendly staff. The menu had a variety of brunch options as well as the regular menu. Once I saw the word tomahawk, I stopped looking at other options. The tomahawk came out perfectly flavored and tender. I'd love to come back and try the other food items, but knowing myself, I'd get the tomahawk again :)

    Delicious Argentinian spot tucked in Georgetown, just off M street. Staff was delightful and accommodating to every need. As soon as you walk in and see a large grill where they whip up all the steaks and sausages. Cant wait to come back to see the speakeasy and flowet shop

    Went here with a friend that heard about them opening recently and opted to not look at the menu beforehand, and glad I didn't! We were a few minutes late but greeted and seated with no issue, and there is a free coat check (which was nice as we had our big coats on!). Our server walked us through the menu, section by section, which we appreciated as we didn't know what half of the items were without googling them. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification! They are extremely knowledgeable. We ended up ordering the squid ink bread and both got our own pieces, ossobuco empanadas to start (not pictured bc we demolished them), wild mushroom chitarra, and the ribeye with a side of peppercorn sauce. Everything was split between the two of us, and we cleaned every single plate. We did have dessert (pictured) but I don't recall the name of the one we ordered. We were seated towards the front and the ambiance was nice, we were close enough to see the kitchen and the grill, and we were close enough to see our neighboring tables and all of their food items - all of which looked delicious as well. I would def recommend this place for a more casual to mid range date night or nicer dinner. We didn't order any drinks / alcoholic beverages so can't speak to those.

    Palta Atlantico, $29
    Calder S.

    The food and cocktails were good and portion sizes larger than I expected. Service started out friendly but became disinterested, and they never gave me the leftovers I asked them to pack up. I visited on a Wednesday at 6 PM with a group of four. The place was pretty quiet the whole time, with a handful of other tables occupied. We had a nice booth in the back. I forgot to get photos of the menu but there were a number of appetizers, pastas, and grilled meat/fish options. Cocktails were $19-$22 and they were all good. We particularly liked the Sauco & Sidra Cobblers for the flavor and also the large size. I got a "Maryland" cocktail that had "crab olives" which I took to mean were olives stuffed with crabs, but the olives in the drink were just regular, not-stuffed olives. We had a radicchio salad ($19), Palta Atlantico which was like potato salad with avocado and lobster ($29), Vesuvio pasta with red sauce ragu ($28), saffron risotto ($34), Ribeye steak ($61), and New York Strip steak ($65). They offer your choice of four sauces with the steak. We also had some complementary bread, which was served as a black cube with butter and salt on the side. This was plenty of food for four. Everything was pretty good. The radicchio salad was a nice way to start -- light, bitter, and crunchy. The Palta Atlantico I don't regret trying, but I wouldn't get again. It had a large lobster claw on top, but the flavor was lost among the mayo-like avocado. The pasta ragu was solid but nothing remarkable. I liked the saffron risotto -- a dish I don't see often -- but it was a little liquidy like it could have cooked/reduced longer. The steaks were very nicely cooked (medium rare) with great flavor and seasoning. The bread had a unique appearance but the texture was a bit doughy; the butter and salt livened it up. The dessert menu ($17-$23) looked good, but we didn't have room. Our server was very friendly at the beginning and gave us some good info and suggestions about the menu. However, he became less attentive later (I tried to signal a few times to place another drink order) and I never got the leftovers I asked to be boxed up (by the time I realized, I was too far away to go back). There was also another small service misstep when my cocktail was brought without a garnish; the bartender noticed and came over a minute later to garnish it at the table. This was a nice touch by the bartender but a miss by the server. The coursing was a little odd, since we didn't get any sides with our steaks -- they should have asked how we wanted it coursed. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant if you are interested in the menu. I might visit it again if I'm in Georgetown, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    The first time I came to Code Red was last summer, and I genuinely found myself counting down the…read moredays until I could return. Finally made it back - and it did not disappoint. This is such a perfect spot for either a date night or a fun night out with friends. The speakeasy vibe, the chic atmosphere, and the music (a smooth, chill house mix) all come together so effortlessly. Plus, being open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays is a huge bonus. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time - this place stays busy for a reason. From my previous visit, I remember having a ravioli dish, what I believe was a braised beef, and their sliders with duck fat fries - all of which were incredible and clearly memorable since I was thinking about them for months. The sliders paired with those fries were honestly a standout. This time around, we had to get the duck fat fries again, and they were just as phenomenal as I remembered. The cheesesteak oysters were easily a 10/10 - fresh, meaty, and honestly surprising coming from someone who used to not even like oysters. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was well-seasoned (as expected, slightly chewy), and the fried calamari, which was light, not heavy at all, and paired perfectly with the sauces. The tuna tartare was another standout - super fresh, soft, and practically melted in your mouth. For drinks, we went all in. The Dirty Diamond martini with blue cheese olives was great, though if you like your martinis extra filthy, I'd recommend specifying that. The Hemingway Special had a nice subtle sour kick, and the vanilla mint espresso martini was strong (you can definitely taste the alcohol) but still smooth and frothy. The Mary Pickford with Malibu was surprisingly delicious - almost like a mocktail. The Paloma was solid, and the Code Red cocktail gave me slight cosmopolitan vibes. But the real star was the dulce de leche espresso martini--absolutely unforgettable. What really ties everything together here is the service. The staff - from the hosts to the servers - are attentive, welcoming, and genuinely elevate the experience. Overall, Code Red is one of those places you keep coming back to. If you're looking for a stylish speakeasy atmosphere with great food, drinks, and energy, this is it.

    Came to Code Red on a Wednesday evening and had a nice time. While Code Red isn't a true true…read morespeakeasy they do keep the speakeasy theme. You knock on the door and a bouncer lets you in. I think there's a password but its written on the sign out front and if you have a reservation don't worry! The space is beautiful! Well decorated and very atmospheric. Low lighting and live jazz on Wednesdays that was a little too loud for my liking as it was super difficult to talk over but otherwise pleasant. The drinks menu is a creative format and delivered as a newspaper with some history on the prohibition era as well as drinks popularized around that time and what said drinks are known for. What Code Red loses in innovative drinks it makes up for in a well crafted cocktail. Nothing fancy or frilly here just a solid list of mostly classic cocktails done right in a nice vibey setting. Prices are about on par with a standard cocktail in DC these days. Really enjoyed my time here! Perfect place for a date or girl's date. Overall friendly service and a really friendly bouncer. Definitely worth a visit for classics in a nice venue.

The food and the service were so good at Manifest.  It made our evening truly a relaxing celebration.  We hope to dine there again soon!

    March 7, 2026 at 2:30 PM for Brunch…read more TL,DR: Love the ambiance and the service was great but I felt as if the food was pretty average for cost. Additionally, the bill includes a 22% auto-gratuity no matter the size of your party, and the machine prompts you with the option to add more when paying. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the most visually appeasing restaurants I have been too. The entrance on the street level that descends into a basement restaurant after exiting the spiral staircase is definitely one for the books. On top of this, the shade of pink used for the walls creates a vibe that is not only beautiful, but in my opinion keeps those in the restaurant in a soothing mood. This was extremely noticeable as it is a small seating area in the main area, and it wasn't loud even though it was fairly packed. It's also important to note that the restaurant does extend into a bar area and a back room. We were offered to sit in the bar area but chose the main area. Service (4/5): The service was great Our service was very attentive and checked-in on us multiple times. Not only was he friendly, but wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The only reason I gave a 4/5 was because, our server did forget pepper that we asked for twice, but another friendly team member went the extra mile to help us. Food (3/5): I ordered the Skillet Seafood Omelette for myself, and shared the French Toast Bread Pudding with my friend. The French Toast was nothing short of phenomenal, and I'd return to get that just based on how good it tasted alone. However, the Skillet Seafood Omelette did not quite meet my expectations. Although well made, I found it to be an average taste and something I could have made at home. First, I expected a traditional omelette, but this was a frittata at it's core. I am not a fan of frittata's because in my opinion they bring out all of the worst parts of the egg taste, and had I known it was a frittata and not an omelette, I would have ordered something different. Special Note: This weren't taken into consideration for rating but I thought it was important to note that a 22% auto-gratuity is added to your bill no matter the size of your party, and when you pay, it has the audacity to ask for an extra tip on top of that. Anytime I see this as a restaurant I note it, as I normally tip 20% unless service is bad, and reserve anything higher than 20% for exceptional service.

The space itself is famous for having political caricature artwork all over the restaurant, and they even give you fun caricature coasters that you can take home with you as a souvenir. Because it's a popular underground spot, it can definitely get incredibly busy and cramped in there. I've been multiple times, and almost every single time it is tough to find a spot to sit. However, I did come once during an off-peak time, right in the middle of the week around 1:00 PM for lunch--and it wasn't to busy, so we were easily able to just sit right at the bar.  I would definitely recommend checking this place out! While the tight crowds can make it a bit tough on a busy week day or weekend night, it is completely worth experiencing at least once for the great drinks, good food, and unique atmosphere.
