- JJohnWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined on May 6, 2025Everything was perfect. From Happy Hour where my wife and 2 adult sons enjoyed blueberry-mint martinis and Cosmos, hummus, duck nachos, and calamari. Our waiter, Rod, was friendly, prompt, and really nice to work with. We then moved over to the other side of the restaurant for dinner. We had an excellent bottle of French Chardonnay and our son had a California Cabernet. We shared 2 salads—arugula and beet. Both fantastic. For the entrees, I had the grouper, one son had the steak frites, my wife and other son had the branzino. All were terrific, but I think the Branzino would win in a contest. For dessert, we shared the apple and blueberry crisp and chocolate mousse. Our waiter, Keif, was outstanding! Friendly, informative, helpful, engaged, prompt. We weren’t rushed, but the food came without delay. All in all, we could not have asked for a better dining experience!More infoBlack's Bar & KitchenPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Bethesda•4.7
