- GGiovanaAlabama •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI am beyond impressed with this beautiful and enormous restaurant. I’m a very demanding foodie with culinary experiences in some of the best South Florida, NYC, and restaurants abroad. My taste buds were dancing when I cut into my New York Strip, what flavor! Perfectly cooked with a pink center and juicy. I’m heading back this weekend because my husband can’t miss out on this wonderful establishment. The customer service was just as pleasant and for the amount of people that were dining on a week day, I’m not sure how they managed, but they did! Kudos to the team for a memorable dinner!More infoThe Hamilton$$$$• American• Downtown•4.7
- NNatalieUtah •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoOld Ebbitt Grill met all our expectations and then some! Jeremy our waiter, was absolutely fantastic! The scallops and salmon were fantastic, steak was the best we’ve ever had and the peanut butter pie blew us out of the water! We will be dining here again when we were in town. Jeremy and the staff were attentive, kind, funny and professional. Far exceeded our expectations!More infoOld Ebbitt Grill$$$$• American• Downtown•4.8

- JJoanneNew York City •28 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoOur experience was outstanding! The service was impeccable. Laura our server was so sweet and attentive.

The desserts were special. The Galopotita was an experience to the taste buds! We also had the Greek yogurt and apricots. Worth the calories!More infoZaytinya - DC$$$$• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7

Discover Brightwood
Brightwood is a neighborhood of Washington, D.C., that is well-known for being the home of the Fort Stevens Recreation Center, which features playgrounds designed on the military fort that is nearby. The community also has several Indian restaurants where you can have a lunch comprised of vegan-friendly aloo shimla mirch or aloo ki tikki. If you enjoy Italian food, bring your appetite to one of the family-owned and -operated upscale restaurants. Diners can enjoy a dinner for two with a generous portion of rigatoni al forno con salsa aurora and pair it with a favorite red wine. If you prefer a meat-based Italian dish for dinner, consider trying Fiorentina steak and complementing it with a side dish of riso tonnato or risotto saltato.
