This restaurant is stunning. Food is amazing. Managers were so helpful and very hospitable. Octopus was delicious. I’m still craving it. Great portions and great price. I love this place. It’s unfortunate that there is construction everywhere. I would’ve loved to sit outside. More

Tupelo Honey is good, damn good. It is now my best overall restaurant experience in the DC area. From the moment we walked in we were treated with the warmest of southern hospitality. Being from the Deep South I appreciate this more than I can say. At the same time we were treated as if we were in a fine dining setting. The service was impeccable yet friendly, jovial and personal. Ryan, Donnell, Aubrey and the bartender (sadly I did not get his name!) made our evening feel like we were in the presence of friends. The food was just as warm and wonderful as the staff. Ribs, honey dusted fried chicken, collards, crispy Brussels sprouts and the most perfect biscuits. My honeysuckle lavender lemon drop was like drinking flowers and happiness. Overall I couldn’t have asked for more from a dining experience. We will be back, and will bring friends. More

Elizabeth's Gone Raw

€€€€
Vegan | Downtown, District of Columbia

I was visiting DC and found this restaurant on Opentable because I needed a vegan friendly restaurant for my friend and boy was this a find. They are only open for dinner reservations on Friday and Saturday night and I was lucky to snag a 5:30 pm slot on a Friday night. The prix fixe menu was probably one of the most well presented and tasteful experiences my fiend and I have had. We took the wine pairing and our meal courses were also accompanied by an excellent selection of fine wines. Loved everything about the meal, the friendly service and the room setting. A highlight of my trip to DC and this will be on my list every time I have the opportunity. More

French | Great Falls, Virginia - DC Suburbs

Welcoming staff, charming and cozy dining room with a wood burning fireplace, sea bass was perfectly cooked. Everyone especially loved the fennel soup and the pumpkin mousse cake. I thought the chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but nobody else thought so. Overall, a most pleasant dining experience. More

American | Lovettsville, Virginia - DC Suburbs

My husband and I had a memorable birthday meal (his) at The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm. Our waiter and his colleagues delivered the food, and the detailed information about the food, exceptionally well, and were also personable and welcoming. We have not for a long time experienced such a variety of flavors, the vast majority of which we enjoyed immensely. The only "downside" was for my husband, who felt that there was a little too much salt for his taste. (This was a little surprising, given that I am usually the one who is extra sensitive to salt and I didn't have any such issues.) Believe it or not, I especially enjoyed the experience of having the chef determine the menu for me! The only thing I had to think about was what cocktail and wine to choose - and our waiter was very helpful with that as well! It was a great experience - thanks!! More
