- KKatieWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is truly a one of a kind dining experience in DC. Some of the best service I’ve had. Our server was attentive, but didn’t hover and was so kind. We were able to get great recommendations on both drinks and food options. The beet salad, mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp were beyond delicious and I would highly recommend. For cocktail lovers the 3PM in Istanbul was excellent. We will certainly be going back to enjoy the atmosphere and to eat more of the tapas we were just too full to eat this time around.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
- EEileenGreater Boston •16 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe Smith is consistently outstanding. We had an awesome meal. The place was packed but our server was attentive. I had the soba noodles and added salmon. It was awesome. The others in my party had the vodka penne and gnocchi and they said it was awesome.More infoThe Smith – Penn Quarter, Washington, D.CPrice: Expensive• American• Penn Quarter•4.5

- LLynnevipWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe love it here! The food is yummy and service is great. There seemed to be many large groups the night we went and it was very loud but quieted down after people began to leave.More infoChina ChilcanoPrice: Expensive• Peruvian• Penn Quarter•4.6
- KKimWashington, D.C. Area •1 review4.0Dined on Nov 16, 2024Love love the aesthetic and the vibe. Ultra-cool. Service was excellent. I wish the drinks were better. We both got a cocktail, and while they were good, they weren't amazing - which was an expectation we both had. They didn't seem to have enough liquor in them and really mild on flavor. The food however, was great. Would definitely go again as the presentation of the restaurant from coming out of the ride share and walking up, to being seated was such a fabulous feeling.More infoDirty Habit | The Glass HousePrice: Moderate• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Penn Quarter•4.4
