    Salmon tartar
    Loren R.

    I was walking down the street looking for a great restaurant! I walked into 5 places that disappointed The classy interior, classy dressed waiters , well lit interior, and loud din of people having fun drew me in Great lighting /rather loud I was seated quickly at the bar. ( solo) My first thoughts are that this place is loud enough that if you're on a first date and want to talk, it would be quite difficult. It is that loud. Wife , friends yes. First date. Maybe not... If you like me wanting to have a meal and hide in your own thoughts and coddle your wine by yourself and get lost in your dreams with a buzz, this is a great place My wine by the glass was fantastic I had the sermon tartar crustini. It was fantastic with my mild fruity Spanish wine I had the Branzino( sea bass) for dinner It's quite juicy and flavorful It was Branzino fillets on top of a bit of spinach with sliced almonds, capers, garlic, and olive soaked in wine For dessert, I had the meatballs I thought they were a bit plain But they were the perfect ending for a third glass of wine and nice buzz I will definitely return.

    Stop by on a whim for lunch and the setting is very nice, lots of outdoor seating. Loved the bucatini carbonara, but salad was pretty bad with many pieces of decaying lettuce and was pretty bland. I would say serving size was small. Service was meh, not terrible but nothing special, and not the fastest but we were there leisurely. There's a credit card fee of 3%.

    This a great restaurant. I sat at the bar and had drinks with a friend on Sunday. The service was fine. The manager frequently checked on us and he was tremendous. The food was pretty good and authentic. We ordered a variety of cocktails and all were very tasty and well made. The game was on. The restaurant is aesthetically appealing and would be great for an affordable date night. They have really good happy hour and brunch deals. I found street parking to be plentiful for DC. I will definitely return.

    Overly expensive restaurant in DuPont Circle that never quite hit the highs. I ordered a Batuta di Pollo, which was just a half chicken breast and a tiny salad, all for $22? The value didn't match the price. Service was fine, but the food was extremely boring and way too overpriced.

    Hands down our favorite spot in dc!! We bring all our visitors here and it never disappoints. It has a great ambiance, very open and lively and the outdoor seating is nice too. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the food is always delicious. Great prices too!! My go to is the spicy rigatoni with added meatballs and a Caesar salad. Would also highly recommend the focaccia to start. We just came for their bottomless brunch with offers mimosas or Bellinis with a 2 hour time frame for just $20!! Super reasonable and our waitress always made sure our glasses were full. Can't wait for my next trip back!!

    Service was good, but everything else was pretty mediocre. The wine glasses were very dirty and no bread included which I feel is a must at any self-respecting Italian restaurant. The Burrata Caprese was fine. If bread had been a part of it I think that would've justified the price. I ordered a seafood pasta (forget the name) which was pretty basic and the shrimp / clams were a bit overcooked. I'm not an expert chef by any means, but I feel like I could do better at home. Overall, I was disappointed by the food quality and dirty wine glasses. I think there are plenty of other better options within the same price range.

    vibe is very nice, food was okay. the service is good too, we sat outside because a big party reserved the inside and the outside was fine. it was a fine night but food not memorable.

    Pretty good spot to grab Italian food. Nothing special but it is serviceable. The location is one of the nice perks with the big indoor space and large covered patio. The appetizers all seemed like good options and we went with the burrata. It was really refreshing and the tomatoes were really sweet. I got the carbonara for my main dish and liked it. It wasn't the best carbonara in the world but hey we were hungry. The service was kind of slow and was is one of my only complaints. It felt like they disappeared after dropping off the food. The surcharge for gluten-free pasta seems pretty high at $9. That's the highest I've seen of any Italian restaurant with gluten free options.

    This was my first time visiting the Connecticut Ave location as I have only had great experiences at the 14th st location. While brunch was good, the survive was subpar. My friends and I waited quite a long time to order and to receive refills of our bottomless mimosas. That was disappointing but somewhat understandable given how packed it was but the most frustrating was the fact that the server REPEATEDLY spilled mimosa on us as he was pouring and without any acknowledgment or an apology. I was willing to ignore it the first time but shortly after I finished wiping the drink out of my eye and off my face he proceeded to spill a significant amount of mimosa on my friends all white jeans. While mistakes happen, he was careless and again offered not even an apology. I enjoyed my food but will probably stick to the other location.

    I had such a great experience here. Despite a bit of a wait, the manager was so gracious and surprised my party with two complimentary tiramisus. Between the food and the wonderful ambiance, I absolutely loved the vibe. Highly recommend!

The standout of the morning was the breakfast side potatoes--crispy, seasoned perfectly, and easily something I'd come back for. The breadbasket came with three pastries, which felt a bit smaller than expected, but the almond croissant more than made up for it. On the heartier side, the chicken and waffles were extremely filling thanks to the dense waffles, so definitely a dish to tackle with an appetite. One of the biggest surprises was the brunch salad with salmon, which ended up being one of the best salads I've had in a long time--fresh, balanced, and satisfying. The breakfast sandwich was another highlight: so good that it's now the new standard I'll compare all other breakfast sandwiches to. The smoked salmon bagel was also a fun experience, served deconstructed so you can build each bite exactly how you like it. Not everything was a hit--the French toast wasn't my favorite--but the overall meal was strong enough that it barely detracted from the experience. Brunch offers a few additions beyond the regular breakfast menu, but overall it's very similar to their standard breakfast, just with a couple of extra options. It tends to get full on the weekends to make a reservation. Bottom line: Penbrook is a beautiful hotel restaurant that punches above its weight--excellent service, memorable dishes, and several items worth returning for.

I was extremely impressed with the menu offering which had traditional breakfast items mixed with fresh veggies, and spices from around the world. I ordered the Brussel sprouts with fried egg whites. It was delicious and extremely filling. I savored each and every bite. The only thing I would have preferred would have been more coffee offerings. The food here is truly king and I can work with that!
