Chef Geoff's in general is fabulous! Sonja (our server) took It over the top! Her table side manner was wonderful. She returned to our table many times throughout our meal to see if we were happy with our food etc. She is exceptional among her peers! We had a wonderful time and she was a big part of our experience. Gary Fitch read more

Came here with a friend about a month ago and totally forgot to post this review!! Parking was free when we went since it was a weekend. Our servers name was Jessie and she was absolutely amazing! Give her a raise!! The customer service from the hostess to server and even the kitchen staff in passing were super kind. I believe the manager also checked in on us at one point too. The ambiance was just *chefs kiss* (no pun intended lol) but I loved the dark blue tones, table light and elegance it offered. We sat in a corner booth and it felt really intimate and like we could see everything from where we were. We both ordered steak frites, with the apple croustade to go and two glasses of wine. Everything was absolutely amazing, 5/5 not a note to give. The entire experience was a 5/5 and I would definitely come back here again! Thank you to the staff for an amazing meal and great service! read more

Great lunch spot and seemed to be really busy during that time. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant so it's very accessible. Ordered the BLT with Parmesan Caesar fries. The food was really good, the bun was toasted just right and gotta love crispy bacon. They have a lot of good options on the menu so there's someone for everyone. And the service was really attentive and took great care of our table. read more

Excellent food for lunch today at Chef Geoff's. We had a large party and they accommodated us very nicely. Great service too. Thank you!

I typically go for brunch but yesterday I went for dinner. Everything was perfect. Our server (Emma) steered us in all right directions food and drink wise. We will definitively go back. Go for the rib appetizer, white pizza and ricotta doughnuts! read more

Had a great dine-in experience! Shout out to Sonja for the amazing service. The meal was splendid, leaving a savory taste in my mouth. The atmosphere was very ambient as well. read more

Fun dinner with delicious fish tacos. Great service and nice ambiance. Good neighborhood vibe.

Had a fantastic dinner tonight of pasta beef bourguignon. My waitress -- Hailley with two "Ls" -- was fantastic. Knowledgeable, efficient, delightful, and checked in frequently but not too much. read more

Just ate here and tried their menu for restaurant week. We had 730 pm reservations, and upon entering, the restaurant was full and the layout is pretty tight. There isn't enough space in between tables, so you are seated in very close proximity with other diners near you. That was the only part of the dining experience that was a bit annoying, but as the night went on, the restaurant cleared out so it was much more spacious. For starters, I had the gumbo and my boyfriend had the sweet and spicy cauliflower. I loved the gumbo! It had good chunks of chicken, sausage, and shrimp and was very flavorful. I also thought the portion size was very filling. And, the cauliflower was also very tasty. It almost reminded me of chicken. I liked the jalepeno and actually added them to my gumbo. For our entrees, my boyfriend and I both had salmon. I had the blackened salmon while my boyfriend had the simple and healthy salmon option with broccoli. Both plates were decently sized and we ended up taking to go boxes. My salmon was cooked well, and I loved the potatoes, bacon, and spinach. I definitely felt full after a few bites. Finally, I had a pear croustade for dessert and that was delightful. It reminded me of a pie, and it had vanilla ice cream on top. I loved that. My boyfriend got the lemon tart to go, so I'll have to report back later but it looked good. The service was good. Our waiter was attentive and observant. He knew when to come by to check in and refill our water or clear away plates. I would definitely come back and just opt to eat a bit later when the restaurant isn't as busy. read more

dinners were delicious and desserts were the best! Parking was easy in the back of the building.

Jacob was fantastic! Great service, excellent attitude and very warm and friendly. He made our first visit memorable. The food was delicious too, not to mention the atmosphere! read more

I dined for brunch and my experience was overall just OK. The food was poorly seasoned and overall just tasted really bad, which is honestly an issue for standard brunch fare. Service was a miss. While it was busy, it's never a good sign when you have to go in and hunt down your server to get your check. The one positive is patio. Seating was great. I thoroughly enjoyed our table and having a cocktail in the nice weather. I would definitely consider giving this place another try, I'm thinking maybe this was just a really off day. read more

I came in here to grab some snacks with some friends. We got the cauliflower, some sweet potato fries and focaccia bread. We enjoyed all of them. I particularly enjoyed the sweet and hot cauliflower, which was really unique and good. The restaurant itself is quite decent size so it was easy to hear my friends talking. The restroom is a bit far away, outside of the restaurant but it's pretty clean. I suggest this place for any quick snacks! read more

Sadly, I have to say that Chef Geoff's has gone down a little. I used to always recommend Chef Geoff's and bring my family here--so naturally I did just that! I took my grandparents, parents, and boyfriend to Chef Geoff's for a nice birthday dinner. We had raved about the food, wine, etc. However, we were extremely disappointed with the food as a whole. Unfortunately I don't have the pictures of the things that were wrong throughout the night, but I do have a picture of the season spice crusted scallops which were the only good thing we had on the menu... Let's get into the issues here (and yes I realize I did hype this restaurant up recently, but I'm sad to say my review has gone down the dump). To start off, my grandma is vegetarian. The main reason we chose Chef Geoff's was because there were a few good options such as the tofu bowl and veggie burger and cauliflower appetizer. However, when my grandma got the burger, it was clearly not cooked through. It was cold and must've been frozen before cooked because according to her, there were ice particles in the center. I took a bite and yes it was wet, cold, and tasted subpar. As for the watermelon salad, we thought it would be arugula with watermelon chunks. No, it was... watermelon. That's it. A large block of watermelon. My grandfather's salad was soggy and had clearly been sitting out before coming to the table because the lettuce was damp and withered. As I said, the scallop dish was amazing and I always love the chicken Milanese. Although, I did state I didn't want goat cheese on the risotto but obviously it was on the risotto. I didn't send it back mainly because the server was extremely busy and seemed to be running around all over the place. I just picked it off, but I wish I didn't have to. As for service, it was okay, not great, but again, he was super busy and management did take off the burger so I really did appreciate that. I understand restaurants may have some off nights, but it was upsetting that it was on a birthday night and when I had my family visiting. I probably won't go back for awhile, but I hope they can expand the menu and also get back to where it used to be. read more

The food was delicious. Came for Saturday brunch with the family. Cooper was our attentive and gracious server. His professionalism with our kids was a warm welcome. At the end of the meal both my wife and kids were talk on about our next return to Cheff Geoff's. The atmosphere at the New Mexico location is wonderful and relaxed. Again, Cooper was thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Thank you, we will come again. read more

We celebrated our anniversary tonight and had the absolute pleasure of being taken care of by Chad. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, warm, and incredibly professional without ever feeling overbearing. He anticipated our needs, explained everything clearly, and made the entire evening feel special and effortless. What really stood out was how intentional he was--checking in at the right moments, pacing the meal perfectly, and making us feel genuinely celebrated rather than just served. It's rare to have service that elevates an experience the way Chad did. If you're lucky enough to have Chad as your waiter, your night will be better for it. He was a big part of what made our anniversary memorable. read more

Olivia was an amazing server give her a raise the food was amazing. The service was great and friends are amazing

1 of the Top 10 dining experiences in the USA for sure is Chef Geoff's. This is the perfect combination of 1st of foremost excellent cuisine, not too pretentious of an atmosphere and outstanding service. That is, without being too formal or too expensive Chef Geoff pulls off the trick of great food in a wonderful setting. read more

Just a few words about the service I received on Friday night. 9.12.25 with my friends Vahan and Alex. Maggie Carper. What a wonderful and intelligent waitress. On the ball. Exquisite people skills. Definitely a young lady that will need to be promoted to your highest ranks! Fantastic. Paul Ziver Dittmann read more

Had a delicious brunch with two others and we all loved our food! Favorites were the ham & pimento cheese biscuits, and amazing breakfast sandwich which was large enough to share & was served with a side salad that was also VERY good. We shared a yummy dessert too but I can't remember what it was - maybe a fruit tart. read more

Came on a Thursday with my colleagues to celebrate a colleague's retirement. We had a reservation, were seated right away, and had excellent service. Our party of 12 was served promptly, orders were accurate; and drinks were refilled before we could ask. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and we all enjoyed our time together. I had the roasted turkey sandwich which seemed perfect for a fall lunch. Don't forget to get your parking validated for a discount. This is a great place for large groups. We had a 5* experience. read more

Wide variety of American fare. Good prices. Friendly, efficient service. Ambiance feels like you are in a friends home.

I went to Chef Geoff's during the week for dinner with a friend. First, we could have spent the whole time at the bar because the happy hour menu is incredible! Super mugs for $10, great deals on food, and happy hour is every day from 3-7. Great deals, especially for in the city! The menu has a bit of everything, which honestly made us nervous. If you'd like ramen while your friend wants fish tacos, and you want to split a bowl of gumbo, this is the place! But the food was pretty good, and the different cuisines we ordered were all solidly made. Nothing was amazing or really exceptional, but it was all good. The staff were exceptionally kind and friendly, but the restaurant had maybe an older feel. We were definitely some of the youngest people there. We had a nice time overall, but I'm not sure that there was anything that would compel me to come back (except for the great happy hour deals). read more

I like Chef Geoff. There is an actual human being by that name. He is a local celebrity. He studied theology at Georgetown, and he is married to a news broadcaster. His restaurants are a chain, though that term should be understood to be positive. There is an outpost at the airport (it is acceptable), another restaurant of the same name downtown, and then Lia's not that far away from this venue. I have eaten at all these places multiple times. The truth is Lia's is where my wife and I go most often, due to proximity. But I want to put in a good word for this alternative. The best recommendation you can offer is that you yourself are a repeat customer. An organization with which I am affiliated has done an event every year since the pandemic here. People love it, and they come from all over the metropolitan area. The food is excellent given the quantities we are purchasing (typically it is an inverse correlation). We have fifty guests. Last night, the passed starters include a tomato, basil, mozarella salad on a stick and chicken parmesan on a stick. I had about three of each. We had flatbread and toasted pita with spreads; salad; two types of pasta; and three desserts. We also had beer and wine. Any of these dishes would have done well if brought to a table for my wife and me/ They were top-of-the-line for a catered function. The servers also were brisk and polite. Our guests were more than satisfied, many of them lingering still, when my wife and I excused ourselves. I would recommend Chef Geoff's for fine dining that won't bankrupt you. If we were meeting others in this neighborhood, this would be an excellent choice. As it is, we prefer Lia's, where we can walk and bring our dog. The menus are different, Lia's emphasizing Italian inspired American nouveau. But the overall quality of Chef Geoff's operations is impressive. He has done well for himself by doing well by his clients. read more

Wonderful server Jess, delicious food, lovely wine. Ambiance inviting and serene. Excellent coffee!

UNACCEPTABLE parking situation and parking pricing! The gate was wide open when our car entered the parking lot. and the card equipment where you insert credit cards was covered. So, we could not get a ticket to be stamped by the restaurant. We thought that the equipment was temporarily out of order. At the restaurant, No one warned us that we should be billed when exiting the parking even though we did not get a parking ticket. At the exit, there was an employee who charged us 12 dollars! Which is far more than what is charged, in general, during the week at Chef Geoff. FIX YOUR PARKING POLICY, once and for all (it always has flaws) and let that policy it be FRIENDLY toward loyal clients. ONE STAR BECAUSE OF THE PARKING. read more

We had the miso salmon, mushroom, ravioli, and kid's pizza. Everything was delicious. Chad, our server, was excellent and very patient and warm with our 4-year-old daughter. read more

We arrived at Chef Geoff's in the evening about 7:45 without a reservation. The outdoor dining was full and we were seated in the dining area across from the bar. I ordered a Cherry Zing which is black tea, cherry cayenne cordial, orgeat--I took one sip and I almost breathed out fire. I expected a little spice but it was like liquid habanero. We decided to try the truffled bacon popcorn which did not come until we were almost finished with our entrees. There's quite a varied and eclectic menu. I ordered the black bean and pecan burger with a gluten-free bun. My companions selected the blackened salmon, gumbo and a salad. My burger was ok but it didn't hold together and crumbled apart. The sweet potato fries were excellent, nicely crispy and sweet. The blackened salmon was nicely prepared and the accompanying spinach and pickled Pearl onions in a mustard glaze was very tasty. Our server offered to validate our parking which was strange because as we drove out of the garage there wasn't even a gate at which to pay, we simply drove straight out. read more

After reading all the yelp reviews, my wife and I were excited to try Chef Geoff's West End restaurant as we are in DC for our daughter's graduation. The calamari and Caesar salad were great. The greatness stopped there. The artichoke scallop risotto was just terrible, impossible to actually find and risotto with all the cheese and sauce. I had ordered the fillet mignon with blue cheese, medium rare. It came out cooked well-done half way through from one end and rare on the other end. Not one drop of juice came from the fillet when I cut it. What disappointment after reading all these great reviews I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Chef Geoff's is the go-to spot for the best martinis in the DMV! Bartenders Erin and Kevin work seamlessly together, blending warmth and professionalism to create a perfect happy hour vibe. I totally recommend their flawless dirty (or filthy!) martini with blue cheese olives, or the espresso martini --both a must-try! read more

Had a lovely dinner tonight at Chef Geoff's. Shrimp scampi was delish. Thanks to Chad for great service!

This place used to be one of the best restaurants in Washington, but they took the best things off the menu! I came here specifically for the spicy cauliflower appetizer, the hummus appetizer, and the black bean burger with balsamic greens. All of those things have been removed from the menu! I tried the falafel burger and it was not good. I also ordered the fried mozzarella appetizer and it came out lukewarm and barely cooked. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. What a disappointment :( read more

Great spot where everyone can find something they enjoy. It's not fancy by any means and the cocktails are mid, but they have a well rounded menu. We stay across the street when we are in town and come here at least once or twice. read more

The patio is the star of the show at this Northwest DC mainstay. I came here for brunch and lunch over the past few weeks and had positive experiences each time. I highly recommend eating outside. The patio is breezy and shady, even on the hottest DC days. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating. No one rushes you, letting you enjoy every moment of your meal. Although not spectacular, the food is solid and consistent. The menu contains a nice assortment of burgers, salads, and inviting appetizers. The greek salad is my "go-to" staple. My wife had the shawarma quinoa bowl on our last visit and enjoyed it immensely. FYI, it did take awhile for the food to arrive at our table after we ordered. Certainly not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. If you enjoy leisurely meals with friends, Chef Geoff's is a great option if you're near American University. read more

Food was delicious and service was great (thank you Chad!). The burgers here are so solid and the fries are perfect. Always recommend.
