Best Fun Restaurants in Mount Vernon

My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

The 3 courses option in the bar area is plentiful and well-priced.

Tourist from Chicago and I was skeptic at first trying as the menu was not focused on “one” cuisine and it was all over the place and my my!!!! We tried the king pao dumping, corn bread, goat cheese burger and beef pot!!! I KID YOU NOT IT WAS BEYONG DELICIOUS. I wish they had a branch in Chicago too I would eat the dumplings everyday!!

Always a memorable meal with outstanding service and a great wine selection. Our server Devon G was absolutely fantastic

Wonderful experience! My husband and our two friends made a reservation for a New Year’s Day brunch, we got a great table, but every table has adequate space between so you won’t be on top of another party no matter where you sit. There were coat hangers conveniently around all the tables. The staff is super attentive, professional, knowledgeable, while being kind and upbeat. Just like the ambiance and the staff, the food is incredible! From the coffee, the pastries, the mains, the drinks, the sides, there’s not a single bad bite, in fact, you’re more likely to say “this may be the best thing I’ve ever tried.” Couldn’t recommend this spot enough! Plenty of options that will impress those who like a special dish, but many familiar options that allow anyone to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and wonderfully run restaurant. I hope the staff is compensated well and their value is well known. This place wouldn’t have the level of charm it does without them!
