    Food was very delicious. Our party included someone with a birthday and we were treated to some really tasty appetizers. For example, the watermelon pieces with nuts and olive oil and sesame seeds were unbelievably delicious. The service was prompt and we had an excellent waiter who tended to us constantly. I will definitely make a return trip to this wonderful restaurant.

    When the weather is good, it's hard for any other restaurant to beat Barca. It's an outdoor restaurant located right on the edge of the Potomac River, so great views and great food to boot. Mostly tapas that are shareable and all are delicious. Service is great too and prices are very reasonable. Four of us had lunch there yesterday and, with drinks, the total bill with tax was $100. Not bad at all.

    We enjoyed eating at Cedar Knoll and will return if ever in the area. It's easy to find. (We were here to visit George Washington's Mount Vernon.) The food was excellent. The Oysters Virginia small plate was quite delicious. It was a delightful evening.

    Ada’s has consistently great food and service. Anything off of the grill is well done. I especially love the octopus and chicken thigh tacos. Seating along the river is peaceful.
