- JJenniferWashington, D.C. Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoSapodillas is a hidden gem! I stumbled across this restaurant looking for a Caribbean restaurant for a same night dinner reservation for a solo outing. From the website, and Google reviews and images I found I wanted to try it.. and not one regret! The restaurant was relatively close to me yet I’ve never been in that particular area. I’m soooo happy I came across this place, because I will certainly be back! The restaurant is cozy, cute, and picturesque. Far beyond aesthetics the customer service is exceptional! After briefly reviewing the website for details I totally agree and love the restaurant’s values! Entering you instantly feel welcomed and all the staff make you feel at home, like family! That’s an experience you don’t get many places! The staff go above and beyond to meet your needs and ensure you have everything needed. For my solo outing it was actually a solo weekday birthday dinner, and the waiter and waitress surprised me with a bundt cake and even sang to me! In fact, the whole restaurant sang a second round of happy birthday to me which was so beyond kind and thoughtful. This tells you a lot about the customers they attract. The food was amazing, the atmosphere is great, and the drinks are pretty, strong, and delicious! 10/10 I do recommend and will be returning with my friends.More infoSapodilla's Caribbean RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Caribbean• Washington•5
- JJustinWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoWe enjoyed our meal; however, it seemed as if there was only one server for the entire restaurant and he was also tasked with being the bartender. Thus, there were a lot of long pauses in the dining experience even though the gentleman was doing his best. Perhaps there can be more staff at front of house?More infoCanePrice: Expensive• Caribbean• Capitol Hill•4.7
