My friends and I also had an amazing experience with the owners of Wingos. They were so sweet and friendly. We walked past this place earlier in the day, and their shop stood out to us because of the shredded chicken mural on the wall.

You will find a few parking spots on the street in front of the restart and within a reasonable walking distance. They serve wings and tenders with a large selection of sauces to choose from. I placed my order online, so it was ready by the time I got there. I just double parked, like most people do in the city, ran in and got my food. The staff there was very nice. The inside customer area is very small, but I was in and out. I ordered 10 wings, which I thought I ordered in 2 flavors. however it only came in one, mambo. That is ok. The wings were very delicious. I mean like finger licking delicious, packed with flavor. I also got a side of mac and cheese, which was also really good. It was cheesy like I like it, fresh and tasty. All in all, I really enjoyed my meal here. I am always skeptical when a see a restaurant claiming to have the best of something. This restaurant claims to have the best. After eating my meal, I would say there is some truth to that. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Got the crab cakes; food was okay, but the venue itself really stole the show! Honestly, it's…read moreprobably my favorite concert venue I've ever been to. The space feels so intimate, which makes the whole experience more personal and memorable compared to larger, more crowded venues. The atmosphere was great from start to finish, and everything felt well-organized. The service was also a highlight, our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel really comfortable throughout the night. Even though the food was just alright, the overall experience more than made up for it. Between the vibe, the quality of the show, and the excellent service, it's definitely a place I'd come back to again and recommend to others looking for a unique night out/date night!

The cocktails were veteran made and solid. The dining room is intimate, adding to the connection of the artists and the show. Deborah Bond dropped her new album Amber Dust, a true R&B artist keeping the tradition of the music well and alive. She hosted a listening party show with a customized cocktail menu with drinks named after her latest album! The show was amazing and the sound was clear. Although the menu is a bit limited I enjoyed my crab cakes, which had no filler. Oh and be sure to save yourself time and park in the parking garage across from the alley. This is an amazing little space with big names. Every time I've come here I've always met with the artists after the show. So if you're a super fan and your favorite artist is performing here, GO!

I ordered the Spike's Sunnyside Burger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake. The burger was really good and definitely above average. The only small issue was that the bun was a little flat and had a hard time holding together with such a big burger. The fries tasted like they were hand cut and had great flavor, but the real standout was the milkshake. It was rich, creamy, and honestly one of the best milkshakes I've ever had. Overall, this is an easy place to recommend if you're in Washington, DC. We'd definitely come back.

The problem with Lutèce is that they don't give a single crap about their customer's experience. We booked a 6 PM table. My friend and I arrived at 5:55, and were seated by 6. The waiter IMMEDIATELY told us we had the table for 2 hours and then had to leave. He then got us water and eventually (10 min in) took our drink orders. He then told us again that we had the table for only 2 hours. Our other friend was 15 minutes late. She arrived, and we looked at the menus. One was the regular menu, and one was a five course tasting. We discussed for ~5 minutes, and then told the waiter we all wanted the tasting menu. His response: "Sorry, it's too late for that now. The kitchen can't do it in the amount of time you have remaining." This for a $125 menu with an $80 wine pairing. We ended up ordering far less food, which was unceremoniously dumped on our table with no regard for coursing in an obvious attempt to hurry us along, and several times wait staff attempted to pick up plates that were clearly still full of food while we were clearly still eating. By the time we received the dessert menu we felt scared to order it, and completely unwelcome. And of course, you guessed it: they automatically add a 20 percent service charge so there's no market correction to their piss-poor service. The attitude at this restaurant is everything wrong with fine dining in general in this day and age, and in DC in particular: You should be so lucky to dine here, you lickspittles. Eat up and get out. Thanks, but no. Never again. You'll find me at the bar at Chloe where they take the time to know your name and never make you feel unwelcome.

I've been wanting to try Martin's Tavern ever since I learned that JFK was a frequent visitor, so…read morewe finally made it happen! We stopped in on a Tuesday for brunch to avoid the crowds, and it turned out to be a great time to visit. The restaurant is smaller than I expected, but that's part of its charm. It's cozy, packed with historical photos, and does a great job preserving that old-school tavern feel. Each booth has a plaque commemorating a particular person or event, although I wish more of them were included in the history brochure at the table. If you're going to give me a history lesson, Martin's Tavern, I'm ready for the full syllabus! We started with the Shrimp & Calamari, which was fried perfectly--crispy without being oily or overly salty. The mandarin-orange aioli was an excellent pairing. My wife ordered the French Onion Soup and absolutely raved about it. It had generous chunks of bread and onion, and the flavor was fantastic. We both went with the Lobster Roll, with regular fries for her and sweet potato waffle fries for me. Huge props to the fry cook because BOTH were out of this world! The portions were also enormous. The lobster rolls were tasty, but personally, I prefer mine with just warm butter. I felt the shallots and herb mayo competed a little too much with the lobster's flavor. One thing I really appreciated was how upfront they were about the DC surcharge. It's clearly printed in the menu, and our server made sure we knew about it before ordering. I've been to other DC restaurants where the surcharge mysteriously appears on the bill like a surprise DLC, so I appreciate the transparency here. There are still SO many things on the menu I want to try, which means I'll definitely be back.

Found it when I was going through a list of restaurants in Georgetown and I said to myself "I guess this is where I am eating tonight." I am happy to report that it was a good decision. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance with some of the most attentive and courteous staff. Let's get to the entree. I ordered the Mahi Tosho-Shirin (I hope I did not mess up the spellings) and it was delightful! Crispy, seasoned and perfectly grilled fillet of Mahi over a bed of velvety spinach. Over a bed of apricot and fig sauce that was to DIE for! Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this place and I definitely will be coming back. 4.4/5

Quantum. call me Ishmael…read more Call me famished. Some hours ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no provisions in the pantry, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would stroll about Georgetown and see the Levantine offerings of the city. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the digestion. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before mediocre sandwich shops, and bringing up the rear of every uninspired lunch line; and especially whenever my hunger gets such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to Yellow as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the cafe. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same maritime longing towards a perfectly wood-fired pita. Stand at the counter of Yellow, your eyes fixed upon that golden, puffy vessel, blistered from the hearth. Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity? I found my answer when I plunged into the hummus--a swirling, creamy expanse of whipped chickpea, earthy za'atar, and rich sesame. As every one knows, meditation and tahini are wedded for ever. The pita, warm and impossibly soft, served as my vessel, navigating the golden pools of olive oil just as a Nantucket ship cuts through the Atlantic. There is magic in that dough, pulling you away from the shore of the mundane and into a deeper, richer abyss of flavor. If you are feeling a damp drizzle in your soul, do not take to the sea to drive off the spleen. Take to Yellow. Five stars.
