I dined in early Sunday evening. There was hardly anyone inside, but for some reason we had to flag down workers who were just sitting around and chatting amongst themselves. We ordered the following: Fettuccini Alfredo with blackened shrimp - 7.5/10 on the blander side. The blackened shrimp was good. Mac and cheese skillet - 8/10 flavorful Grilled Atlantic salmon - 7/10 the salmon was good and the asparagus that accompanied it had the perfect texture We never got a chance to order drinks because no one checked on us. And for the fact that we were the only ones dining in and still had to flag someone down to pay the bill, I would not return to this establishment. read more

I recently visited Rewind to attend a social event. Generally speaking, I had a pretty good experience at Rewind. Overall, I thought the staff was pretty professional and fast with preparing cocktails. If memory serves me correctly, my rail/well drinks were about $6 and cocktails with high-end booze were about 16 bucks. Although I did not purchase any food (bc I wanted to eat at another place in the area), the folks at my table seemed to enjoy their bar bites. The atmosphere was pretty pretty chill and clean with plenty of seating. The music was loud but not too loud where you would have to communicate with your friends by screaming at the top of your lungs or by sending text messages. Just as an FYI: when closing our your tab, double check the tab because the establishment may or may not add gratuity to the bill. read more

The food and drinks here are under rated! Had a great time last night hanging with the girls. Dennis took care of us and all of the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Ordered right away, but food took about 40 minutes. Food, I mean fried pickles. No water. No napkins (and counter was wet). After 40 minutes of waiting for a drink they told me that they didn't have grapefruit juice And couldn't make a bee Sting. That was the drink Inorderdd. A shot of bullet bourbon was 16 dollars. Plus a 17%tip. No option not to tip. Also includes a fair wage supplement. Waitstaff clearly doesn't care. read more

Despite this being a restaurant underneath a busy club this is one of the more unsuspecting food spots in the city. On most nights outside of the weekend prime time hours it's a fairly lowkey location, clean and simple decor with enough seating to accommodate the occasional group or two that may stop in. The staff is always super welcoming and polite and the menu offers a variety of items, all day breakfast options like waffles and various omelette choices, apps like wings and chicken or beef sliders, salad, pizza, and various sandwich options, and more hearty entrees like fettuccini alfredo, rice bowls, and steaks with prices ranging from $15-$40. On my most recent visit I tried out the birria grilled cheese sandwich. It took awhile to come out but when it did it far exceeded my expectations, the brisket was tender and well seasoned. I recommend giving this spot a try if you haven't already. read more

My friend and I got our food delivered since it was snowing. So can't really comment on the ambiance, but they were so accommodating. Uber eats had a buy 1 get 1 special for wings and my friend was disappointed it seemed he could only get one flavor of wings. He put a note in the comments requesting a second flavor and they accommodated him! He said they were good wings. I got the nachos and added impossible meat. I wish that the meat was broken up into smaller pieces, but it was still good. I've never seen where a restaurant will put all the toppings on the side, but I thought it was a really nice touch. Because they didn't do that, my nachos weren't soggy. Would recommend. read more

My experience here surpassed all my expectations. We came in at 5:30p on a Saturday. No issues w reservations, in fact the place was pretty much empty. The food was delicious! Lots of bar food options and savory items. I had the Brussels sprouts and fried chicken sliders. They were absolutely delicious. The others in my party also cleaned their plates / took leftovers home. Everything was reasonably priced. Service was relaxed. At first our server was reluctant to split checks, but I guess since we continued to be essentially the only patrons by the time we left at 7:30, she graciously gave in :) Atmosphere: I was worried it was going to be noisy (especially because apparently this turns into a night club or something after hours?) but noise levels were more then acceptable. Will happily return! read more

Solid casual restaurant. Great staff. Located in a very active part of town. Menu isn't huge but has a great variety of options.

The world needs more people like RODNEY. he made for a great experience with amazing customer service for the cherry on top of a great girls weekend. We actually were suppose to go to a day party and the upstairs venue but the vibe Rodney created at Rewind made us want to stay. This personality makes people like me want to come back and the Mumbo wings will make you stay they were BOMB and the tots were crispy. Shout out to Rodney #typeshit read more

Went here for dinner overall the value for food is good here but the quality is no there for a recommendation. The service was a bit lacking here waitress forgot our drinks a few times and our meals oddly came out at pretty stagard way half the group was served and then we had about a 10 minute wait. Food was ok I got a cheesesteak it was pretty bland tasting and needed salt and pepper. Almost everyone made a comment on things being under seasoned. The cheesesteak was almost all bread and the bread was way to thick for the steak so it blunted any of the steak there. Overall would not recommend the cheese steak. read more

Denis was the absolute best bartender I've ever had :) and I'm a bartender! Come for amazing food stellar drinks and wonderful service from the most "delicious" man in town!

We were seated and the host brought us our water and said a server would be with us soon. Edgar was supposed to be our server. He walked past us several times, and when I flagged down the host again to let him know, no one had been to the table. He told Edgar we were waiting and he still didn't come over. He was outside on his phone. The host had to take our order. We are Visiting from out of town and I would never recommend this place. The service is awful. Edgar should be fired for the way he treated paying customers. read more

Food was average - we got the Brussel sprouts and the wings. I liked the glaze on both - each had a nice hint of sweetness to it. Service was inconsistent - our server was so nice and kind but it really varied on when she was able to check in on us. Drinks were decent - nothing to write home about. I wouldn't really recommend it but will say that the cherry blossom pop-up was cute (if not overhyped). read more

I was invented to try their Sakura Pop-Up event. My first impression was that customer service was below par. I reserved it for 9 PM, and they had me at 6.30 PM. We tried four different things on the menu. The food was okay. There's nothing special about it. Our waiter never checked on us. The decoration was phenomenal, and I would say but other than that, the food was average. I would not come back to this place or recommend this place to my family and friends. Note: I was comped for this event. read more

So disappointed. This was a frequent spot for me and my Bestfriend. We love the food. We were so disappointed this past weekend when they told us it would be twenty dollars just to simply eat. They're was another group behind us surprised about the charge as well. read more

A friend and I had fun at Sakura: A Japanese Pop-Up Experience yesterday, but I would not recommend it if you're looking for something spacious and upscale. It seemed they were only using the bottom half of the lounge, so very tiny and nothing fancy. It's decorated very nicely though...lovely for photos. My Ramen noodles could've been hotter. They were slightly hotter than room temperature, but not the temperature it would be if you went to Sakura or any other noodle restaurant. We also had a wobbly table that they ended up propping up with paper. LOL The food was all very flavorful! I have no complaints there and the drinks were delicious. read more

This place is just okay. I think the food is pretty overpriced for the quality you get. I've ordered the chicken cheesesteak a few times and it doesn't have that traditional, cheesesteak taste. The mushrooms really through it off for me and it comes with a cheese dipping sauce(?). Definitely not for me. Some of the best fries I've had in DC though so I'll give them that. read more

My party of 4 went to Rewind during Happy Hour on a recent visit to DC. The food was all very good. The service was great. Everyone in our party had a great time. The only negatives would be a slight funky smell (sort of stale), and some spotty glassware that I am hoping just had water spots rather than not being clean. read more

This place is kind of hit or miss from what I can tell. I came here with a pretty big group of people on a weeknight for dinner. Rather than order a "meal" I just ended up eating some random stuff: fried chicken sliders, loaded tater tots, and the lucky charms cheesecake. The came out in the opposite order than listed above, no idea why. The Lucky Charms cheesecake was tasty and fun, I shared it with a few people at the table (since it came out before anyone's food) and everyone was a fan. Next out was the loaded tots, also delicious, and I highly recommend. Last out was the sliders, and these were only average. Not bad, but just kind of "meh" for me. Had I ordered those and the tots this place would probably have been a 3 rather than a 4, the cake helped the average. read more

Rewind by Decades...what can I say. I know! This place was really cool to visit when it was doing its Japanese Cherry Blossom theme as my friend and I visited twice. The staff is great; especially the waiters and waitresses. However, if you plan to eat inside (they do have outdoor dining), it would be in your best interest that you make a reservation. My friend and I went the second time without a reservation not knowing that it was basically a requirement, and we were offered to eat outside. Thankfully, it was a nice day, so we did. The reason why I am providing 4/5 stars is because of the pricing. Some of the items are more on the pricier end; especially their drinks, but it is the city which is something I understand as well. Overall: It was a great time with a great environment. Would I return? Yes. Yes I would. read more

Great places near Dupont circle for Happy hour or late night. Ambience was modern and cool, yet inviting. The music played was fitting for the atmosphere but not too loud. Menu prices were reasonable. Had their Happy hour wine special and their grilled chicken Cobb (no dressing). Enjoyed the food and drink, service was polite and professional. read more

I think they may have just opened and they were getting ready for the dinner crowd, i cant imagine them not being busy because the food was really good. I got the chicken sliders (3 for $17 or 5 for $21) and i ordered the skillet mac and cheese because i didn't know that fries came with it, downright amazing and happy i ordered it. The mac and cheese had a nice layer of cheese with breadcrumbs on top and the flavor was definitley on point. The sliders buns were toasted so they had a little crunch to them, but were soft and chewy on the inside. The chicken had great flavor and the chipotle sauce they put on there was amazing, fries were perfectly balanced between crisp and soft on the inside. My fiance got the avocado blt, she said it was aboslutely divine! I would definitely reccomend this place to anyone in or going to D.C. read more

Everywhere that has S&G, I'm gonna order it. Served in a mini iron skillet. Worth the wait. Would have appreciated a little more bay seasoning. The shrimp were plentiful. Could have used a little less cheese. Overall I'd order again. Shrimp:grits ratio = 5:1 Cheese:grits ratio = 2:1 Spicy rate = 4/10 Flavor = 8/10 read more

Came here for the pop up Cherry Blossom Bar. We ordered the Brussel Sprouts, Gyoza, Wings, and Peppers to share for the table. As far as food goes, we would probably rank them in the order listed (best to worst). Everything was just "okay". The peppers were the only thing we didn't finish because they were bland and their sauce was also bland. We also ordered the apple sake, another drink I can't remember the name of, and the matcha milkshake. The drinks were much better than the food! As far as the service... it's pretty much non-existent. Our waiter basically disappeared around midway through our meal and we waited an additional half hour after we finished eating and sipping on our drinks for him to finally come by so we could ask for the check. Honestly there's only like 10 tables inside and at least 7 people were working, so it was a little frustrating to barely see him. Overall I would say this was an okay experience if you're in the area looking for a drink and a couple apps, but I wouldn't go back, nor would I go out of my way to come here. read more

Honestly I have never been in the restaurant to eat. So your properly wondering why I'm leaving a review. Well I'm here to tell you that although I haven't physically been there I have in fact eaten the food. I've ordered the food through Uber eats about 3 times now and I have got to say it's absolutely amazing. The food is a little on the pricey side, "might also be because of Uber eats inflated prices", but not only is the food always packed well and somehow hot, but the quality is always top notch. If this is how their Uber eats/ takeout is I can only imagine how the food tastes from the kitchen straight to the table. If you don't have time to sit down and eat I would definitely recommend putting in a take out it order or delivery because I think it's totally worth it! read more

I came here with my boyfriend because we have seen so many videos of this place. The atmosphere and decorations were beautiful and it is a great place to go if you are looking for a trendy, vibey place. The service was good, and we were able to get our food pretty quickly. Food-wise, I think it is a bit overpriced for mediocre food. The tacos and burritos were some of my favorites but definitely not outstanding. I do not recommend getting the ramen because it is not actual ramen. I think they use spaghetti noodles instead of egg noodles. But I do recommend getting the Matcha Milkshake, I think it was delicious. Regardless, I was a bit disappointed in its price range. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, new dining experience but do not expect much from the food. read more

If I can give 3.5 I would. While the reason for giving the 4 stars is the fact that they serve desserts late in the evening it's a great find in a pinch.

If you've had one too many drinks in Dupont Circle, I could see the momentary appeal in overpriced bar food, but if you're sober, don't waste your time. It's been a long time since we had an incredibly bad dining experience in DC (props to the DC food scene). Here's why we won't ever go back to Rewind: 1) Food: It just isn't good. Their concept is a "high end" diner so they serve diner food (burgers, breakfast all day, etc), but with really expensive prices. Yeah, DC is expensive, but if your food is worst than IHOP's do NOT charge over $20 per dish. My wife and I had a drink, appetizer, and an entree each and paid over $100. I never felt worse spending $100. The salmon salad was overcooked and lacking flavor. The Juicy Lucy burger was small and tasteless. The mac and cheese and pigs in a blanket were decent, but again, not for the pricey tag attached to it. 2) Drinks: Worst I've had in the city. My marg was not mixed well, small, and I almost didn't finish it. I'd pay money to not finish it. My wife had the Old Fashioned and it wasn't good either. It was watered down. 3) Service: At first, they were attentive, but then they disappeared for a long time. The entire dining experience took 1.5 hours for gross diner food. I ordered the meatloaf and it took the server 20 minutes alone to let me know they were out (of course). 4) Atmosphere: It's a weird vibe. It's meant to be a throw back to the decades (which decade it's unclear). Contrary to their marketing, there's nothing classy about this place. I rarely give poor reviews, but this experience was so bad, sadly, I had to write this review. read more

I was pumped to try the Cherry blossom pop up bar and made a reservation for a Friday night. We got there on time and ended up waiting 30 minutes post reservation time to be sat. I understand things happen but there was poor communication/customer service and a ton of crowding, with COVID protocols of socially distancing kinda non existent while waiting to speak to the host. We were all jumbled into the small room (probably 20 people) while the host would take your name and then ignore you for 10 minutes at a time. No "oh I'm sorry we are looking for a a table" just us being ignored. When we finally did get sat, it was a spot by the window which had no resemblance of anything cherry blossom related. The kicker too was that all the people waiting by the host stand (15 people at a time) were blocking our view of the rest of the restaurant. Our waitress was kind and brought us a free shot to apologize but other then that, the service was not great. How can anyone see us by the window when a group of people is blocking the view and listening to our convos? They need to 1) enforce the table time limit of 90 minutes and 2) create a outside line for social distancing and to avoid crowding. Prices were high and they were out of 1/4 of their signature drinks. Goyza was tasty but would I deal with all the hassle again? No, probably not. Gratuity is included and we paid $120 for 4 drinks and two apps. read more

Finally a lounge spot to enjoy with Cherry Blossom themed drinks during COVID I thought when reserving a spot... I was wrong. The initial smell of mildew when entering should've told me that the cool lighting was not going to be worth it. Honestly, the place looks great... but the clientele behavior, food, smell and service is a HUGE let down. Waste of money unless you want to take an Instagram picture in the teeny, tiny floral background they have quashed between tables. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a cherry blossom pop-up experience. read more

This restaurant was a short walk from our hotel on Connecticut Ave. We can immediately liked the airy, open vibe. From our table by the huge floor length window we had a great street view. It's happy hour and our draft beer and glasses of wine were $5: a great way to start our dinner. Talia, our server, was welcoming and attentive. We loved our dinner selections. The moist perfectly seasoned salmons was the standout. Other dishes: southwest chicken salad, fried chicken waffle and Mac & Cheese Skillet were all yummy. Both food and service were great. It was a very relaxing, enjoyable dinner. read more
