- BBarbaraWashington, D.C. Area •26 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI’m a regular at Jaleo and have been enjoying the food there since they opened years ago. Food remains delish. And they’re always adding new dishes to the menu. Today I tried 4 selections I’ve never had before and they were all wonderful: tuna tartar with trout roe cone, fish soup, fried eggplant with honey and Andalusian cheesecake. Sooooooo good.More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7
- DDavidRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was my second visit to Gypsy Kitchen, and it was just as fantastic as the first! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for a night out. Our waiter, Andrew, was excellent—very helpful throughout the dinner, offering great recommendations from cocktails to dessert. We revisited some of our favorites, and they did not disappoint. The hummus is amazing (pro tip: order an extra piece of pita bread). The potato dish and pork shoulder were equally delicious, packed with great flavors. For dessert, we tried the pear tart, which had more of an apple pie texture than a traditional tart, but it was still enjoyable. I also had an Old Fashioned, which was well-made and a great way to round out the meal. Overall, a great experience once again. Highly recommend this spot for excellent food, drinks, and service!More infoGypsy Kitchen - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Logan Circle•4.5
- DDeborahWashington, D.C. Area •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe went for Valentine’s Day. We were seated upstairs. A comfy, sleek atmosphere combined with marble floors columns and walls. There’s something goth-esque about the surroundings. Bravo to the Sommelier who knew her Spanish wines. She spent a considerable amount of time helping us choose just the right bottle for the variety of tapas we planned to order. We chose one from almost each category. The raw seafood and seafood choices were our favorites. The octopus was divine! I loved the oxtail croquettas and my boyfriend loved the oysters that came in a can, a nod to smoked oysters in a can (lid and all!). They were truly delicious, delicate with a hint of citrus. The ceviche in the dragon fruit was mind blowing! So delicate and fragrant. It reminds me of the ocean. Dining at Bazaar is an experience for your palate. It is worth the culinary trip. I’ve dined on José Andres’ culinary creations since he arrived on the corner of 7th and E Street’s Jaleos and have followed him as he opens one culinary destination after another. Another diamond!More infoThe Bazaar by José Andrés - DCPrice: Very Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7

The Oyamel margarita was delicious as were the tocos and rice w mushrooms and Brussel sprout sides. The tres leches dessert was incredible! Overall, and excellent dining experience enhanced by the care of Melvin. We will return soon!More infoOyamelPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Penn Quarter•4.6
