Best Casual Restaurants in Foggy Bottom

Went for a dinner with friends and it was nice, food was good, just a tad loud.

Everything about our dinner here was 5-star! The food was delicious, the wine choice was outstanding, the service was attentive and helpful, and the ambiance was great. If you're a wine drinker, this is a fabulous restaurant to go to with an extensive list of wines from around the world. They also had a decent choice of cocktails. Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert was also delicious!

We had a lovely waitress/server who came from Peru. She was awesome. Very helpful as this was our first time having Peruvian cuisine. She recommended the ceviche sampler. All were delicious. My husband had the chicken stew (Wonderful). I had the arroz con Marisco which was loaded with mussels, shrimp and squid. Both dishes were excellent. Then for dessert who tried the Suspiro. A lovely dulce de leche custard topped with meringue and a guava syrup. Lovely. Rich.

Our server was Trystany was OUTSTANDING! We had a large group and she was efficient, friendly and professional. All of the staff we encountered from the time we entered were great. The food (appetizers and entrees) was plentiful, tasted amazing and was served promptly. Despite being very busy, we felt like our large group was special, never being slighted or made to wait for anything. Definitely a place to have a wonderful meal for individuals or large groups.

First time at this fine addition to Washington Circle. Attentive service, cuisine inventive and well presented. And-rare among DC restaurants-quiet enough to have a conversation. We will definitely be back.
