The Kind of Bar You Accidentally Stay At for Three Rounds…read more You know that moment after work when you tell yourself you will just grab one drink? That is exactly how I ended up spending an entire Friday evening at Nanny O'Brien's, the Irish pub that feels like the heartbeat of Cleveland Park. It is the kind of place where the bartenders somehow keep track of twenty orders at once and still remember your drink the next round. The crowd is a great mix of neighbors, regulars, people wandering up from the metro, a few still in work clothes, a few clearly not. It is unpretentious, comfortable, and has that true neighborhood watering hole energy that is hard to find in DC anymore. If you are looking for a fancy cocktail bar, this is not it. But if you want to grab a pint, trade stories with strangers, and maybe forget about your inbox for a while, this is exactly where you want to be.

Dined tonight during Valentine's Day weekend. We've always enjoyed dining here and tonight's…read moredinner was no exception. They had a special prix-fixed menu for Valentine's Day priced at $98 per person. I thought this was a great deal considering how much food they serve you. My wife also got the wine pairing for $45- you get four glasses of wine, so it's a good deal. Natalia was our waitress and she was great. She was very friendly and service as usual was spot on. I opted for a la carte and got our usual Grilled Spiced Wild Calamari - still delicious and the Pappardelle. This is one of my favorite dishes here. Most of the pasta dishes here are really good, so you can't go wrong with any of those selections. For the special Valentine's Day menu, the Beef Tartare & Smoked Bone Marrow and the Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo was definitely the highlight of the evening. The beef tartare was sitting on top of the bone marrow, and they served a really large piece of bone marrow! The Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo needs to be on the regular menu- it was that good. The lobster tasted like it was cooked sous-vide because it was so light and tender. This dish also came with Key West Shrimp. The Squid Ink Tagliatelle pasta was al dente - just perfect. There is a parking garage underneath the building. They do provide parking validation.

I have been visiting this location since it opened, and I appreciate its excellent atmosphere with…read morea classy vibe. However, I've noticed during each visit that the staff changes frequently, and we often see new faces. The servers and hosts are usually friendly, but it seems they either forget to check on us or are too busy to do so regularly. This has been a consistent issue during our visits. Although the restaurant is not overly busy, it is quite large and has multiple separate seating areas. It's possible that our server was preoccupied with other tables that we couldn't see. My daughter often feels frustrated during our visits since we don't allow her to use electronic devices like many other parents do. Despite this, she still enjoys the restaurant, the food, and the friendly staff. It's unfortunate that they don't serve warm bread and olive oil like many other Italian restaurants do. We love the seafood and all the pasta dishes, having tried them all. My favorite is Fabio's ravioli, while the grilled octopus, grilled calamari, and Branzino are also top choices. Overall, the food is good, but it is a bit pricey, and the service needs to improve. I don't mind paying higher prices, but I expect good service in return.

That said, I do really like the decor and the little store inside -- it's charming and definitely adds to the experience. One disappointment was learning that the shepherd's pie is only available on a specific day, as that was something I was really looking forward to trying. I would come back again just to try the shepherd's pie on the correct day, but based on this visit alone, happy hour didn't quite hit the mark for me.

I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their brunch menu!

They provided more bread when it was empty, and quite quickly I might add. Constant water refilling as well. The deviled eggs were great and the jalapeño gave it an interesting yet tasty twist. Zucchini chips were perfect and the chipotle ranch goes very well. The fish and chips were very hot and fresh when they came out. Everything tasted amazing. I really appreciated the lemon in a bag which stops the seeds from falling into the fish. Can't say enough good things.

Our server, Ana, was welcoming and thoughtful. She patiently answered all of our questions, took all of our special orders in stride and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but the service and the ambience are so exceptional that the entire package is a home run!! Menu highlights include: lamb meatballs with paradelle, fried chicken and mac & cheese, the grilled chicken cobb salad, and the roasted veggie bowl with salmon. Lots of choices for the vegetarians and pescatarians among us. Looking forward to my next visit!
