Salads? Not really. Light? Eh, not so much. Delicious, varietal, creative, meaty in the most sinful ways possible? Yes. Opened in early 2014 by the brains behind Neighborhood Restaurant Group, The Partisan provides a great place for gathering with friends to share a charcuterie board (they have an extensive and […]
Restaurant Review
Rose’s Luxury: review & tips for the wait
Rose’s Luxury is no longer the new kid on the block anymore, yet it still maintains consistent multiple hour weekend wait lines, and so many District dwellers we’ve encountered have yet to visit. The hype, we assure you, is real. The food is good, damn good in fact. The waits? […]
Oval Room: new interior and updated lighter menu
Ashok Bajaj is no stranger to the DC scene. This Indian born restauranteur is arguably the most successful in DC’s culinary history owning The Bombay Club, 701 Restaurant, The Oval Room, Ardeo+Bardeo, Rasika, Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca, Rasika West End, and nopa Kitchen+Bar. The Oval Room recently underwent a one million dollar plus […]
Rural Society: Now open & you don’t want to wait any longer!
The District has seen “celebrity chef” establishments come and go. Remember Les Halles? Whatever Roberto Donna was working on? You probably don’t. However those that have succeeded have done so on the merits of their food, creating a great atmosphere, and providing exceptional service. From the father of it all […]
Trio Grill, Contemporary American in NOVA
I don’t often venture into the Virginia suburbs for anything other than ethnic food. But when I found out Circa was opening a restaurant in Falls Church, VA, I just had to check it out. And I’m glad I did. Trio Grill is a modern American restaurant with a wide […]
Red Apron Butcher
There are no shortages of places to grab a quick bite to eat in DC. However you may have to look hard to find a place with the quality of hand cut meats that Red Apron Butcher offers. Located next to, and part of, The Partisan, Red Apron Butcher has […]
Ceiba: Flavor-packed Latina American cuisine
It’s no secret, we love Passion Food Restaurant Group, and their Latin American cuisine restaurant Ceiba is no exception. Their unique take on non-traditional cuisine is a much welcome departure from the plethora of steak houses and sandwich options (some very delicious albeit) typically found in downtown DC. To start, […]
Soupergirl M Street Opening
I’m going to start this by saying that in some circles (the important ones), I’m considered to be a soup expert. My forte? Gazpacho. Take a second to appreciate that. When I heard that Soupergirl was opening a new location on M Street, I made a mental note to check […]
24 Reasons (& Pictures) Why the Continued Le Diplomate Hype is Real
Le Diplomate is one of the best, most consistently good restaurants in DC right now. The wait, yeah it’s long. The service, well it’s packed and they make their food fresh, so it can be slower than Subway. Are these bad things? Decidedly no. Not convinced? Here are 23 reasons […]

The Fainting Goat: We liked some & wanted more of others
It’s becoming damn near impossible to keep track of all the restaurants in DC, much less those on the 14th Street/U Street corridor. The Fainting Goat opened their doors this year and we can expect to see them around for a while. Located off U Street with a whimsical upside-down […]
Cashion’s Eat Place: Creative & Delicious
I wanted to like Cashion’s Eat Place, and I didn’t…I loved it. Everything ordered was creative without negating the high quality ingredients. The environment is warm and inviting and the food is locally sourced whenever possible, so the menu changes constantly. Sadly, the few dishes we sampled may not even […]
