- BBernadetteVIPWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews4.0Dined todayThe food was good but not up to the usual standards. It appears the restaurant changed their recipe.More infoRPM Italian - DCPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Mount Vernon Square•4.7
- LLisetteWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe made a reservation for the restaurant, but our goal was to make it down to the Roja Lounge. It's first come first serve and a smaller space, but we were eager to try it. The tequila and mezcal selection was very interesting and we were looking forward to try some of their cocktails or even a flight. Turns out, we were intrigued by the Mexican wines so we didn't do any cocktails! My husband did try a Mezcal that he really enjoyed. We ended up just ordering appetizers and were very full. Our favorite were the wagyu beef empanadas. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was a Sunday night and there was live music. By the time we left at 7pm the place was popping!More infodLeñaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Mount Vernon Square•4.7
- MMaryPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI will definitely be coming here again. Food was tasty, fresh, and well seasoned - like absolutely perfect. My boyfriend has an eating disorder (ARFID) and can really only eat a select few foods - and they were more than accommodating with him!! Really made this a great experience. 10/10 would recommend.More infoFounding Farmers & Distillers DC: ChinatownPrice: Moderate• American• Mount Vernon Square•4.4
- SStevenVIPUtah •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salataMore infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
- DDanteVIPGreater Boston •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThere was a slight delay with seating the reservations. Based on overhearing the communication between the hostess and other staff, it seemed to be largely due to the inexperience of the waiting staff. However, I attribute most of it due to the holiday, Valentine’s Day. It Can feel a little tight as they’ve maximized the use of all available space to seat patrons, so if you get a little claustrophobic, you may want to consider dining at a time that isn’t busy. Overall great value and great experience, especially for the Washington DC area. The only recommendation I would make to Rumi’s Kitchen would be to broaden your selection of wines by the glass. At the price point of your bottles of wine, it makes it a little difficult for some patrons to commit to making the purchase of a bottle.  Thanks for the good time!More infoRumi's Kitchen - DCPrice: Expensive• Persian• Mount Vernon Square•4.8
