The food is consistently delicious, packed with flavor, and feels like such a treat every time. My favorites are the salmon, the roast beef with mashed potatoes, and honestly the soup is incredible too. Everything I've ordered has been so good that it's hard to pick just one favorite. The quality and consistency really stand out. I also have to mention the customer service. I've called before to update an order, and everyone I've spoken with has been so helpful and friendly. That level of care makes a difference. Nothing but great things to say about Unconventional Diner. Amazing food, great service, and a place that clearly puts a lot of pride into what they do. I can't wait to eventually make it in person!

They do a great job of refilling coffee and tea in the afternoon. That's rare. The food is good, and so are the portions. Not too huge, but enough to forgive a good friend for stealing a bite. I always get scrambled eggs (2-3) and prey on my friend's pancakes when they aren't looking. Don't fret. We split the bill evenly.

Another DC restaurant group still charging an "I82" fee and then they come around with their card…read morereader and a default 20% tip preselected on top of the fee as if I82 wasn't an effort to reduce reliance on tips. As always seems to be the case, this place is run by a restaurant group, because I have yet to see a small independent establishment pull this nonsense. Food is passable albeit not great. Just note that in the name of "transparency" the prices are hiding the actual costs behind this fee. If you want to round it out to 20% with a tip, at least the fee tells you exactly how much that is. I have to assume the 10% fee is going to increased wages because that's what I82 is about. If the restaurant group is pocketing any of that balance then they are just stealing from their staff, which might explain why the staff is not upfront about the rationale for the fee.

Google led me to Ted's, which is both a sit-down restaurant, but also a cafe/bakery in the front. I had an iced Americano, and asked for a tiny, tiny splash of half & half. I also had a strawberry "poptart". The "poptart" was pretty good. When my coffee came out, it was white. Literally, white. It was whiter than the iced chai latte with whole milk that my husband had gotten. I had to send it back. I asked for it just black this time around, because I just didn't trust them to get "a splash" right. They were willing to do it, which was nice. The coffee was good, but it just wasn't what I had originally wanted.

Unfortunately, the experience behind the vibe didn't come close to delivering. The service was a real letdown. Our waitress was visibly in a bad mood from the start, and it showed in every interaction. No one came to check on us throughout the meal -- not once. And when the food finally arrived, it came out cold. Not lukewarm, cold. There's really no excuse for that, especially when the table hasn't been checked on and has no opportunity to flag it in the moment. It's frustrating because the atmosphere genuinely has something going for it. But cool decor only carries a restaurant so far -- at some point the food and service have to show up, and on this visit neither did. Won't be making a return trip.

We stumbled upon this new restaurant on the H Street corridor 8th street--a neighborhood that can feel a bit rough around the edges--but what we found inside was nothing short of a true gem. The moment we stepped in, we were stunned by how beautifully designed the space is. The décor feels warm, elegant, and thoughtfully curated, offering a calm retreat from the busy street outside. But the real magic arrives on the plate. Every dish we tried showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients, layered flavors, and a clear respect for the rich culinary heritage of the Ottoman and Istanbul royal family traditions. You can taste the care and legacy behind every recipe. This is not just another brunch spot--it's a place where history, culture, and freshness come together in a way that feels both authentic and elevated. They have both the upstairs and downstairs of the building. Upstairs is a great social gathering with a bartender and the back patio is nicely renovated that can host pet in the summer months. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what the restaurant offers. It's rare to find a place that surprises you in all the right ways, but Tiffany's Bistro & Bar does exactly that. A beautiful concept, executed with heart. We can't wait to come back.

The restaurant business is tough, so I drafted this review with a bit of sadness. I had a good time…read morein large part due to the atmosphere and my date (my girlfriend). That said, a couple missteps that should not have occurred took this review into the negative realm. Let's start with the positive. This appears to be a great new addition to the neighborhood, and I hope it is supported. The appetizers were delicious and nicely presented. The pistachio feta with grilled pita was tasty and interesting. The halloumi with orange marmalade was as well. The hostess was engaging and friendly. The atmosphere was calming with a touch of casual refinement. One of the entrees was delicious (the scallops and grits). I'd order all three items mentioned so far, again. The negative. The second entree was the short rib. It was tender and.... Wow, way too salty. A shame because it was otherwise well cooked and nicely plated. But whoa. When the hostess came by, my girlfriend kindly said it was a bit salty. I "refined" her answer and said she was being nice, but it was very salty. The hostess went to note this for the kitchen (a positive for her), and because we are on the first floor outside the kitchen window I heard the conversation. The chef responded that he knew what had happened. Earlier when preparing the short rib someone (in his words) blasted it with salt. What this tells me is that they knew they'd made something close to inedible but served it anyway. At the end of our meal we had leftovers of the two apps and the short rib. We asked for a bit of extra pita to take home and they provided. Then the bill arrived. Not only was there no adjustment for the inedible short rib, but they charged us $2 for the pita. The least they could have done was just given us the pita. Ah well. Those two missteps; 1) serving a known and improperly prepared entree, and 2) not doing something to make good when reported, have led to this sadly negative review for a place that could and should have gotten a positive one. Hopefully someone there will see this, and the experience and review will be a learning opportunity that will help them thrive.

My waffle was solid but a little thin and the grits were good but a little heavy on the butter, be sure to add a little salt and pepper. Coffee was solid but nothing special, but they're quick on the refills which is a plus. This place can be pretty empty or full of tourists from a tour bus, it's total luck of the draw and they're only open 6am-2pm daily. They do take credit cards now so it's no longer cash only. Keep in mind if you order water they don't have tap water, only bottled water at $1 a bottle. Not worth making a special trip to come here but it's okay for a quick breakfast.
