Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Capitol Hill

The pre-theatre dinner was a delicious three course meal. The service was very attentive and prompt. This was our first visit, but it won’t be our last!

Outstanding experience in terms of food, service, and ambiance. Definitely to be repeated. However, one small disappointment was the message about a 20% extra to support the salaries of the workers. Why not just pay them a living wage? We can determine the tip. You have excellent service. We would be pleased to pay.

The restaurant, bar and lounge areas spread out across multiple rooms / terraces / levels so it is a really intimate and fun layout. Excellent service and value. Price for classic drinks skewed a tad high in my opinion. I'll try and catch a happy hour sometime and the jazz performances.

We had a fabulous meal in a wonderful atmosphere. Jose took wonderful care of us. We highly recommend it if you are looking for a quiet elegant atmosphere!

Restaurant week dinner--limited menu but every choice was very good and innovative: unusually good hummus with scallion pancakes in place of pita; terrific green papaya caesar; beautifully fried catfish with kimchi potato salad. Bonus for me that the kimchi is made without shrimp powder; and there are always gluten-free and vegan options for full meals. In fact, next week they debut a catfish sandwich on gluten-free bread, with cornmeal to pick up the flavor of the fish breading. Only the smashed cucumbers were underseasoned: they deserved garlic, a little soy sauce and lots more chili. A really fine meal worthy of Tim Ma's reputation.
