    Sticky ribs
    Shari D.

    Came back to an old favorite and things have definitely improved! Service has gotten better, and the food is somehow tastier. We've come in for happy hour, dinner and brunch, all of the options were worth the visit!

    14" Matchbox Meat Pizza
    Meka M.

    I stopped by Matchbox on Capitol Hill and had such a great experience! The pizza was absolutely delicious -- perfectly crisp crust, fresh toppings, and that great wood-fired flavor that makes every bite memorable. You can really taste the quality in their ingredients. The cocktails were just as impressive -- well-crafted, balanced, and served with care. Whether you're into something classic or want to try one of their signature drinks, you can't go wrong. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, and the staff made me feel right at home. It's the perfect spot for a casual dinner, date night, or drinks with friends. Can't wait to go back!

    I didn't even know this Matchbox was over here but it was a vibe and I'll be back. They even had a DJ playing! I sat the bar before going to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Seems like brunch had just ended. Service was a little slow but I only wanted a drink. I ordered a strawberry lemon drop and it was pretty good.

    The Matchbox at Eastern Market, DC (Capitol Hill) Recently, I was walking around DC with my mom when lunchtime hunger hit us. After reviewing a few nearby options, we landed on Matchbox, largely because my mom had a craving for chicken and waffles. Unfortunately, that dish didn't make it onto the newly released menu. So, she pivoted to the fried chicken meal, which came with green beans and mashed potatoes. I, on the other hand, couldn't decide. There were too many tempting options left me paralyzed. In a moment of indecision, I hastily ordered the mumbo wings, a cup of cream of crab soup, and a guava lemonade. The décor was warm, well-laid-out, and inviting, so I was surprised by how quiet it was during prime lunch hours. When the food arrived, I instantly felt plate envy. My mom's fried chicken looked golden, crisp, and plentiful, with sides that appeared equally appetizing. My mumbo wings, however, were smaller and less flavorful than I hoped. Fortunately, the cream of crab soup was excellent, rich, creamy, and satisfying, and the guava lemonade was refreshingly good. One critique: given how light the crowd was, I expected a bit more attentiveness from the staff. While our food came out quickly, check-ins were scarce and service felt a bit detached. Recommendation level- mixed: * Food: Mixed -- some hits, some misses * Décor: High marks -- stylish and comfortable * Service: Could be more attentive Overall, a pleasant atmosphere and decent meal, but a few refinements could make the experience truly shine.

    Love this place and love the bar. DJ is the best behind the bar and the food wow. We come most Fridays and it never disappoints great vibe and great service!

    Meat pizza -- not the greatest crust but good stuff on top!

    We were in the mood for hamburgers, so we came here. They were everything we'd been hoping for! My husband asked for onion straws instead of fries, & the waitress was accommodating.

    Surprised my friend for her birthday with MatchBox's unlimited brunch special. It was the perfect opportunity to sample some of everything off the menu! Their biscuits are always my go to and I was glad they were included in the brunch special as we ordered 3 batches between the two of us. Our favorites were the sweet chili salmon pizza for the novelty, shrimp and grits for its creaminess, and blueberry lemon pancakes for their sweetness. The caesar salad was nice and the side of catfish was the right portion size. All the food was worth the brunch price. And the service of the waitress was excellent. She was attentive to our needs and checked on our table frequently. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the lighting at our table was awful. It effected the quality of our photos, bur an overall wonderful experience. I can see myself going back once a quarter for their brunches.

    About a 1-1.5: We had ordered here for a work lunch, and while navigating the online system was extremely difficult (slow loading, error signs, etc.), we were managed to submit for a pickup. We had ordered: +a couple of the Roasted Salmon entrees - this was supposed to be butternut squash risotto with cremini mushrooms, oven-roasted tomatoes, and shaved Parm; we had requested the goat cheese and arugula on the side, but this came in a small condiment cup in which the arugula and the goat cheese were already mixed together; in addition, the arugula was not fresh, and the goat cheese was hardly in existence +a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - with sun-dried tomatoes and cremini mushroom; the chicken itself was overcooked and super chewy; the side of garlic bread was extremely soggy from the heat, as it was not even packed separately, but put inside the container; there was a request for extra alfredo sauce, but the pasta were hardly dressed and dried out Service was friendly at pickup, but there was confusion on the order and it didn't seem to have been ready yet, even though we had arrived during the pickup time quoted. Not a great experience; we'd probably try another eatery the next time around. +greens are not fresh +overcooked proteins +soggy breads +customizations not adhered to

    Arancini
    Sara G.

    From the minute we sat down EVERYTHING was great! We were a group of 6 and our waitstaff, Charles was outstanding at keeping our drinks filled and bellies full! We ordered Arancini- it comes with 3 balls which is fine to cut in half, 4- 10in pizzas (hot honey pepperoni, garlic chicken, shrimp Alfredo, margherita) garlic chicken was the table favorite (shocked us all with how good it was), catfish and grits which was plenty to share with the fish lovers at the table- you would need 2 if everyone in your party loves fish, and all 5 desserts! Listing them in the order we loved them, s'mores, donut holes, apple crisp, chocolate brownie and finally the cheesecake. It was fun to try all of them but the brownie and cheesecake weren't anything special and we could have ordered 2 orders of donut holes and the s'mores and been just as happy. Fun place to go with friends where you spend time talking and grazing thru the meal!

    This place was great! I love the atmosphere, service was friendly and professional, and they offered more food than I could eat lol They offer a bottomless brunch where you can eat w.e your heart desire for 2hrs. They also have a bottomless drink option that I took full advantage of! Will visit again next time I'm in town!

    Was my first time stopping by. We received excellent customer service from Tracy T. There were so many food choices to choose from . The atmosphere is so beautiful and peaceful, totally recommend for a date. Will definitely be returning.

    Fried mac and cheese and Chicken Waffles
    Zakia J.

    This place was very good! Didn't realize that the fried catfish sandwich was beer battered but other seafood was fried differently. Wasn't a fan of that. The service was great, they were accommodating. The ambiance was nice, it was a vibe.

I know Silver Diner is a chain in the area, and I knew I liked the food. I came in, sat immediately, and was greeted by the server. Placed a drink order and went to the menu. It has been a while since I have been to one of these, and I wanted to make sure it was still on the menu. Not sure what was going on in this section, but I swear the lights were either off or set to the lowest setting for dimming. I almost had to bring my phone out to give me some light. I confirmed that the item was still on the menu and waited for my server to come back. Listen, whether you have a party of six or a party of one, you really shouldn't skirt around my table and kind of ignore me. I was waiting to place my order and had to wait for my server to come back around to me. My order was finally taken and my drink showed up. I ordered a side salad and their meatloaf. My go to meal for this establishment. My salad came out pretty promptly as it was a food runner bringing this my way. Your typical pregame salad. Before I had this done, the meatloaf made its appearance. The meatloaf hit. It was exactly how I remembered it. For a late dinner, it definitely sat heavy in my stomach. But I know when I did have my head hit the pillow later I was easily fall asleep. Which, I could have done here with how dark the space I was sat in was. Meal was over, but it took a long time to get my bill and pay it. Once I had that out of the way, I went through the well lit portion of the restaurant to use the facilities before heading back out. Seriously, turn the lights up in that front street facing space.

    First off: this is no longer the Moon Rabbit restaurant. I never remembered the name. Only the…read morelocation. And the bunny logo. That restaurant moved to Penn Quarter a year ago and it's been about 4 years since I last went. I didn't even think I was in a new restaurant until I couldn't find the gold rabbit logo. The interior of the two restaurants is similar enough and having rolls with salmon roe topping your honey miso butter is not far off from what you might have found eating a fried chicken dish with a subtle Vietnamese twist at Moon Rabbit. The concept of WillowSong is nothing new: farm-to-table. But the flavors are beyond what we could of expected! The waiter explained how the chefs source their food from farms within a certain geographical radius. I definitely recommend a visit here for a special dinner that will leave you wanting to come back. The house made milk bread was served piping hot. The aroma - as I picked one roll up - was so indicative of bread you knew you were going to enjoy. The honey miso butter was not typical, and I loved it. It had a citrusy aftertaste and was not too sweet. I didn't eat the salmon roe - mentioned earlier topping the honey miso butter - but it was an interesting juxtaposition. The Squid Ink Oricchiette - black elbow pasta - was lovely. I asked the waiter, "Which is more popular here, the sea bass or the oricchiette?" He confidently said that if he had to choose, it would be the oricchiette and the Yelp reviews say the same. There was an inherent subtle heat and the jumbo lump crab meat was tasty. The squid ink pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the tomato jus herb crumble was well-seasoned. The micro greens garnish added such a nice, crisp crunch. The citrus olive oil ricotta - underneath of the pasta - had a good balancing effect. The grilled maple citrus pork chop - when featured - is a not-to-miss! The flavors were divine. You got the sweetness of the maple sauce and a really nice sear with the char-grilled aftertaste. Just the kind of flavor I look for. Cutting into the pork chop was easy as it was so tender. All of the herb and vegetable flavors in the charred gratin (Swiss chard simmered in a creamy garlic sauce) really came together for something delightful. The Swiss chard was cooked well, yet had a good crunch with a definite farm-to-table flavor, straight from the garden. We were here on a weekend night. A rowdier after-9pm crowd formed for a televised game. I've seen it much busier here on weeknights at Moon Rabbit, before 9pm, and the waiter said the crowds here are similar. I liked that it was more bustling on the boardwalk and calmer inside of this restaurant, before the sporting event crowd around the bar. There are so many restaurants to choose from at the Wharf, and many of them are packed and touristy. When you step inside of WillowSong, there is no crowding and the environment is calm. I would next like to try the Hamache Tartar. It is made with chili oil, preserved lemon, scallion, cashew, Eva's Garden mouse melon, serrano and cilantro. The staff said the breakfasts at WillowSong are very popular and are from 9am to 1pm. Cornmeal pancakes? Hello. Look at the Yelp photos to see the breakfast offering deliciousness at WillowSong. If the birthday dessert that we enjoyed was any indication, I would have to believe him. It was a chocolate brownie-like pastry with granola and graham crust, flowers and fruit. The dark chocolate ganache was decadent. This was a hazelnut dessert which I would have never ordered because I find the flavor overpowering. They kindly surprised us by bringing out a dessert they chose, with a lit candle and singing. I was so glad that the hazelnut flavor was subtle and that it did not taste like a Nutella dessert. The birthday dessert was subtlety-flavored with hazelnut but chocolatey and rich, otherwise. I think there was oatmeal or granola in it. This was a decadent experience. Love that the restaurant has margaritas and sangrias on draught. In the sangria you can find: mango purée, white wine, apple brandy and soda water. Would love to try, next time. As much as I love the Vietnamese fusion fare at Moon Rabbit, I was equally as delighted with the more global dining experience at WillowSong. And the lovely, warm service.

My husband had an IPA on draft and said that was really good, so the beer selection may be the better route here. Unfortunately, the service was also not great, which made the overall experience feel a bit underwhelming. I could see this being an okay place to watch a game or grab a beer, but based on our visit, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back for the food or cocktails.
