Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Brookland / Brentwood

Brought a new colleague to dinner tonight -- superb evening. We ordered different selections, but both agreed food came out outstanding. Incredible experience. Food came out hot. Server Maria was friendly yet professional -- she really helped us through the menu.

We went to Mallard's for Valentine's Day weekend. We had seen a great article about it in the Washington Post. It was our first time there and we enjoyed it! The food was great, even though they had a curated set of options for the holiday. We enjoyed what we had, especially the waygu beef entree, and we look forward to exploring the broader dinner menu which looked spectacular. The service was exceptional and our server was attentive, personable, and insightful. Well done, Mallard. We look forward to our next visit!

Food was excellent. Was there for Valentine’s Day so was busy and service was a little slow. But excellent value and beautifully prepared dishes. Chocolate bread pudding was fantastic.

This was an amazing experience I really enjoyed the fact that from the moment you arrive they make it feel personal as if you and your guest as if you rented out the place.. every dish was explained in great culinary fashion and I love the way each server and host incorporated their knowledge of the dish being served. Hands down one of the premier experiences in the D.C area and a must for impressing any level of company you have. The value is very worth it but the experience is priceless..

lovely authentic Scandinavian/Finnish restaurant with an unbelievable selection of baked goods. Really delicious karadamon buns and smoked salmon eggs benedict. And go get yourself some original Semla buns. they are in season now.
