Restaurants near John F Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts

Great service and food. Really enjoyed the morning ambience. Thanks to our wonderful waitress for making it an enjoyable experience. I'll be back!

Oh my gosh, this was such a fabulous restaurant! It was so pretty inside. They still had decorations up for Christmas and it was spectacular. As I walked in the door, I saw a lady who was hand making ravioli. I had to have it! I got the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. Leftovers for lunch today. It was a nice touch having an offer of amaretto or Sambuca at the end of our meal complementary. It was a nice place to celebrate my husband‘s birthday. I highly recommend it.

Had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. Kelvin made it so memorable with his generosity and great service. Can't wait to come back!

We are are fortunate to have Matera in our neighborhood, It is a small restaurant in the River Inn, close to the Kennedy Center and the Foggy Bottom-GWU, Metro, with excellent food at reasonable prices and excellent service. The menu leans to Italian cuisine but there are choices for those who prefer "American" food; the NY strip steak is outstanding and the tiramisu is the best we have ever eaten. The wine pours are generous. In our experience, the cooking, service and the wine selection has been pleasingly consistent.

The entire high tea experience was perfect and ideal. Everything was perfect! The foods outstanding. The tea selection was so many it was hard to choose from. We each were satisfied with our selections and recommendations from our server. It was a wonderful afternoon and I would highly recommend this for a special afternoon with friends and family. Plus they have a no cell phone use policy. It was nice quiet conversations, exactly how dining out should be. Thank you to everyone who made our cold afternoon a delight.
