All of the food we had was actually very good. However, service was slow, somethings, we ordered, did not come, and other things came, that were not ordered.  The charcuterie board in particular was spectacular. Interesting drinks based on the first ladies, but pricey.

One of our 4 diners wasn't able to come, but our party of 3 had a wonderful evening! Each of us ordered the short rib Comfort Meal, which was outstanding. Kristen was our outstanding server, and Chris added some humor having to do with the large Beaujolais wine glasses: although I was the only one drinking red wine, we all wound up with that big glass -- one with white wine and the other with iced tea! We all had a good chuckle over that!

Our waiter Alek provided us with polished, friendly and unhurried service which allowed us to decompress and enjoy our cocktails and dinner. The food was incredible as always, fresh, creative and a perfect blend of flavours complemented the main protein of the dish. We ended with great coffee and bread pudding and walked away full and satisfied. Thank you to the staff of Muriel’s - have a great 2023!

Flavio is one of our favorite restaurant's we often visit when we come down from Baltimore for weekend getaways in Georgetown. The is superbly prepared especially the pasta sauce and/or gravy which is the best sauce I’ve had. The serving staff and hostesses are always courteous , attentive and fast. I’m always surprised how fast our food arrives even when the restaurant is crowded. My gf especially enjoys the Funghi Ravioli and I enjoy the Capellini Pompidou with added shrimp so please keep those on the menu! We highly recommend Flavio looking for an extremely well-prepared Italian meal in D.C. my only suggestion would be to improve the bathrooms downstairs to make them a little brighter with less of a dungeon feel. Great Flavio and we will be back soon.

Before last night, we were last in this space in early March 2020, the folks we met there for drinks and we were talking about should we shake hands etc...with this virus thing everyone is talking about. Then the world changed. Happy to say this establishment has changed for the better. Fantastic flights of wine at downright reasonable prices for DC. The food we had was delicious, in particular the eggplant and the amply sized five item charcuterie board. Conveniently located near several entertainment venues, we are thrilled to have a great drinks and dinner place to add to our regulars. Oh and the staff was friendly, helpful and quick witted. Enjoy.

The quantities of food were manageable, appreciated so that there was room for dessert. And the desserts were particularly complex and interesting - we tried all four.

The food was amazing and they were very considerate of his shellfish, and when we didn’t get dessert they brought out a cute lil chocolate box and homemade ice cream sandwiches so that we didn’t leave without having the full experience. Erika and our other waiter (I forgot his name but he was AMAZING and his vast experience showed, were incredible. Will definitely be back on our next trip!

My wife had Moroccan salmon and I had peri peri chicken for entrees. Both were very well prepared. The house Pinot noir was also a good value. The service was friendly and very efficient. My ambience/noise ratings need to consider we chose to eat outside so we were close to the street. I can’t speak to what it’s like to dine inside.

We went to Brennans for a New Years dinner as well as a late celebratory dinner for my 2 year olds birthday dinner. I had a 2 year old, a 6 year old and my spouse present. My children were fairly noisy, and playful and the wait staff were very friendly and helpful as well as brought them cotton candy and treats to the table. I never felt uncomfortable having children present for fine dining, and had a great dinner experience. The traditional cabbage and black eyed pea single bite appetizer spoons were delicious, even my 6 year old loved it. My waitress was a sweet younger woman originally from New England, She wore glasses and I hate that I can’t remember her name, but she was very soft spoken and sweet and made the experience much more enjoyable. We will be back to try the 2nd quarter menu but this time as an adults only New Orleans vacation.
