We didn't have a lot of time before our travels, so we picked a place very close to our hotel. This place has a large outdoor and indoor dining area, and the host and waitstaff are very nice (maybe even a bit excessive). However, for brunch, good coffee is a must and this is clearly not up to par. It's from a machine (according to our waitstaff), and my cappuccino just didn't taste very good. My friend with the americano concurred. I got the lobster roll. It was very excessively dressed with the coleslaw on top, but the lobster was good. There was so much sauce it was a knife and fork affair -- and the bun was not toasted (or got soggy). I wish they had left the lobster alone a bit more. It also came with a side of your choice, but the portion of the side salad is quite small. Overall I suppose it's not too bad, and it's spacious, but it's not for those looking for top notch brunch. It's great if you want a restaurant to sit and chat at, since the staff is very nice. read more

The food is a certain go-to while in DC. The lobster roll and chicken parm is awesome. Juliet was our server and did great. Attentive, personable, and positive. Great experience. read more

Server DeAngels was the highlight of this visit. The food was typical, however very satisfying.

Happy hour done right! The Lemon Drop was perfection, and you can't beat their burger and fries combo. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Lobster Mac n cheese was amazing! Usually there isn't enough lobster or the cheese is tasteless, but this got both right. And has bread crumbs. Also it's very packed on a Tuesday with families. read more

My friends and I reserved a table during DC restaurant week. We were excited to have a good hot meal on a frigid night. Our server was named Arthur and he was very attentive and thorough in responding to our questions about the menu. Since the restaurant is connected to a hotel, the vibe is casual to business types. We all ordered a variety of appetizers but mine was my fav which was a great balanced gumbo with a good amount of seafood, spicy but not on fire hot accompanied by white rice. Also ordered were the sweet & spicy cauliflower and crispy calamari-there were no complaints. Main entrees were my beef short ribs on a bed of mashed sweet potato, a lobster roll w/fries, blackened salmon w/potatoes & broccoli and the Andes protein bowl-again there were only sounds of hmm. Our desserts were the buttered pecan cheesecake, passion fruit sorbet, and the chocolate cake, mousse and ganache trio! Now, being a sweetaholic I sampled all 3 and found all satisfying! read more

We are staying at a nearby Hilton to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We chose Che Geoff's because it's nearby and the menu looked good. It was amazing. Here's why: 1. Our server was Esme and she was so nice and had the best suggestions for our meals. She described the foods so well. 2. Everything we ate was *amazing*. I feel like I mostly eat for sustenance but this meal was for my mouth. Every bite made my eyes roll in deliciousness. 3. The relaxed feel. Not sweatpants relaxed- but leisurely dining. We had space in between appetizers, our main dish, and dessert to digest a bit. We had more room to eat more of the amazingness!! A lot of restaurants in Montgomery County feel hectic and loud. Not here. read more

We happen to be staying at the hotel across the street. We were in a hurry and we needed to have lunch. What an amazing surprising and delightful lunch we had. The service was impeccable. The ambience was clean, accommodating, comfortable, and very well represented. We were instantly seated and instantly had our drinks. I ordered the burger which was cooked to perfection and delightful. My husband ordered the pizza which came with arugula on top. It was very delicious. We did not have time for drinks, but the bar was well stocked and people were enjoying themselves. I highly recommend this place. It was moderately priced for the amount of food that you received attention to detail was not overlooked. We will definitely be back. read more

Chef Geoff's West End - Blackened salmon with garlic butter atop broccoli and mashed potatoes. Delicious! - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This restaurant is attached to the Hilton Garden Inn on M and 22nd. We decided to eat here as we didn't want to venture too far from our hotel since we were spent from walking around DC in the hot and humid weather. We certainly wanted to sit inside. We ordered the fish tacos, grilled salmon, chicken sandwich, and the CG burger. All were good enough for us, and we certainly had enough leftovers for the following day as a snack. Kudos to our waitress for changing out our fries after the first and second batch simply tasted like they were either fried too long or simply stale. The sweet potato fries were definitely much better. read more

Just thought I'd update my reviews. It's not fancy, it's not high-faluntin', but it is good. I tend to go to Chef Geoff's a few times a month as it's close to my home and the food is consistent. There are a lot of business hotels in the area - one is connected to the restaurant - so that's the clientele typically eating here. As I said I find the food consistently good for what they sell. I enjoy a draft beer along with the blackened salmon and mashed potatoes but they also make a mean cheeseburger. I usually end up sitting at the bar to avoid any of the issues with slow service, which I have experienced in the past here, several times. read more

We went to this restaurant on our first night in DC. Alex was out server and was fantastic! We felt like the only table in the restaurant. Not to mention the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had! read more

The location is great! So central to a lot of sites within walking distance. Service was friendly and attentive. This place is an all around ideal meeting spot. Food is solid. Portions are generous and prices reasonable. I had the Andes Power Bowl, loved it! Loved the sweet potato's in it. Perfect for a light meal on a hot day. I'd definitely return. read more

It was a great dinner. We walked in and it was busy but the hostess was able to accomodate us at a larger table. Tristany was an excellent server! She helped us navigate thr menu sharing the popular dishes and her own favorites. We took her recommendation and get a salad with the Ceasar dressing. She checked in on us the perfect amount, enough that I would have felt comfortable sharing any issues, if there were any. The other staff that brought our food were just as hospitable. The food was excellent. Blackened salmon, mushroom ravioli and Andy Power Salad, and butter pecan cheesecake. The sour cherry drink/martini was also well crafted! read more

Chef Geoff's West End - Lobster mac and chess and crab ravioli - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My wife and I were in town sightseeing and our hotel and Yelp highly recommended this place and it was close by. We ordered cocktails. She had the bacon old fashion and had my standard vodka rocks. We started out with gumbo and lobster Mac n cheese. Both were excellent! I ordered the mushroom raviolis and she ordered the lobster roll. The entrees arrived before we were even 1/3 of our way through our apps. Ugh! Not only didn't we not have time time enjoy our appetizers but the entrees sat there til we were done. Waitress checked on us and asked if I wanted another drink, which I I agreed to. The raviolis were excellent but there was too much mayo on the lobster roll for my wife's taste. The waitress, I think her name was Jasmine, checked in again to see if we needed anything and I asked where my drink was. She looked confused and said she'd be right back with it. All in all it was a good meal, but not great and service was so-so! read more

Chef Geoff's West End - CG Bacon Cheddar Burger - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

After a long day outside in the sun, walking through all the tourist attractions, my family that was visiting in town was happy to sit down at a cool restaurant that had an outdoor indoor vibe. Our server Esme was very accommodating and friendly and good with my little niece. When they were out of crayons for the kids menu she gave her one of her pens to keep her preoccupied. She also gave extra bowls for me to share the gumbo. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a drink. I got the 22nd and Marg, which was surprisingly refreshing with a nice spicy kick; my boyfriend got the Bacon Washed Old Fashion and enjoyed it as well. We were all pleased with the food and the service. This is a great place for a family to enjoy a casual dining experience. read more

The happy hour was great'! The food was fantastic at a good price. Our server was personable and helpful.

5/17/25 Atmosphere 10/10 Drinks, views, and customer service from host, waiter, and GM-excellent! Loved the low lighting and music. Food 0/10 A lot of the flavors/ingredients were just weird. The best dish was the chicken tenders and fries from the kids menu and the cocktails, order that lol! I came here with high expectations since the reviews were good. Maybe I came on a off day for the kitchen, but the food was horrible!!! *Crab Ravioli 0/10 - after about 2 bites I realized that the Crab Ravioli smelled spoiled, I couldn't even eat it. Either the crab was bad or the milk/cream in the sauce. Also, why would you put green beans and corn on ravioli??? It reminded of a white sauce for a chicken pot pie thrown on top of frozen (not fresh) ravioli. I can look past that, but the spoiled smell was a lot. *Steak 5/10 on bed of arugula? lol no flavor *Broccoli 5/10 needs garlic/butter no flavor *Mashed Potatoes 0/10 they were instant potatoes lol very starchy/gritty taste. *Cadillac Caesar Salad 0/10 - weird flavor profile, too sweet/tangy or something. *Cocktails 10/10 drinks here are very good. The food is plated well, nice presentation, but the flavor is horrible and some key items that should be made fresh (or of better quality at least) were not. Is anyone tasting this stuff before putting it out??? read more

Chef Geoff's West End - Crab Ravioli 0/10 SPOILED, smelled bad. - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Okay so my previous review of Chef Geoff's was a reflection of a restaurant that exceeded expectations. While my latest visit had some good points, there were also some mis-steps this time. The sweet & spicy cauliflower is one of my all-time favorite appetizers! The perfect balance of hot and sweet - just enough heat to make me sweat a little under my eyes. And the cauliflower under the breading was crispy crunchy too. The breading too was very nicely done. This dish was a total win again. But my main dish - the Singapore shrimp - was underwhelming. It was supposed to be curried but did not quite hit the mark and seemed watered down. The dish was shockingly presented and messy looking. The various ingredients were not mixed together well - all the peppers were secluded in one part of the matted down noodles for one example. All in all, I kept waiting for that "Singapore" flavor but never got it. And I kept getting unpleasant bits of too many of the same ingredients at one time. For my drink - an Arnold Palmer - I had to send it back because the tea was certainly old and musty. Okay, Okay, I understand that Chef Geoff's is not fine dining but my last visit was so good that I was very disappointed this time. Our server, Nelson, also went through the night in a lackluster way. Polite enough, yes, but he did not seem to care about us or our meal. Will I go back to Chef Geoff's? Probably I will give them another chance. Do I recommend Chef Geoff's? Not at this time. read more

Everything we ordered was fantastic,the fish tacos the burgers and drinks. We went back for breakfast and had a farmhouse omelet , pancakes and cappacino. Since all the other restaurants within walking distance from our hotel seemed overcrowded with no available seating except outside in the heat,we walked back there and they were accommodating . After a short wait we were seated with our waitress from the night before . She was so sweet and very attentive . We had pizza, chicken parm, Cesar salad burgers and dessert too! Great place great food great staff at a fair price. If ever in DC go there!!! read more

I was able to walk in on a busy night & get a seat in the bar area. The waiter was super nice but he did kind of keep forgetting me because I was at the bar. It was hard to flag him down & he forgot to put my dessert in & so I waited 20 minutes & then he admitted he forgot it & gave it to me for free. The food was good but it was just a little frustrating to have to wait around so much so that's why I docked a star. I feel like it was probably an anomaly though. read more

The service was excellent. Mynor was our waiter. I got the Singapore Shrimp which was delicious. My husband's pork chop was delicious although beware if you don't like cilantro. We ordered Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. Husband had a Manhattan, and the entire bill was less than $100. The ambiance was nice, albeit a bit noisy. The restaurant is frequented by young professionals which was nice, and the crowd was ethnically diverse which was refreshing. read more
