Where to eat in DC

pear dessert, linzer tarts YUM

Service absolutely phenomenal, decor feels a bit cheap for the cost but great food - top of Jenn's try-next list

Fuck me up with sushi; GREAT SUSHI, idk where I land on fair pay and the crazy price

really really awesome elevated indian

fresh guac being made in front charming not the best mexican but highlights key ingredients good love letter to mexico

I never not have a good time, large, nnot so special feeling for a date great for colleagues

GREAT VIBES, felt where she lands on price

superrrrr romantic and cute I could throw up, I imagine a ritzy couple going out here just bc

heard it's got really great Palestinian food, unassuming spot

Such cute décor - great date

wax seal on menus was super cute, omakase for $85 rly a steal, dessert was really cute

really interesting food, love it for big friend group gathering (3+)

amazing, love the hotel-restaurant-bar-rooftop complex - it’s a marvel of an organism

really fresh? Ethiopian, just feels clean

HONESTLY RLY GOOD FOR A FAST CASUAL TYPE OF PLACE but not at all amazing indian by far

solid bar, eligible for HH, ceviche!!

jenny's dream lunch spot, korean/clean girl cava

Gorgeous, would go back for dessert

Actually stunning dinner, get the feast, TEXTURES

Greek and Mediterranean seafood

SO FCKING CUTE with florist front - very snazzy, loved the decor, surprisingly lively late at night, obsessed with the florist entrance, loved that everyone spoke spanish, very friendly

vibey sorefront (apparel/shoes) - take a sneakerhead here; AMAZING dessert

as a pescatarian only rly want to go if its family style dishes heavy indv. But really really great flavors

Stunningly gorgeous decor, feels celebratory. Great date spot.

it’s a vibe but let's not pretend its good sushi. Go for the brunch if you can snag a res

georgetown location is uncomfortably packed but I crave their pitas, love the interesting pastries, always a vibe

solid pho place downtown

Regional Spanish by Chef Danny Lledó

few afghan restaurants around - they do it really well

Best salad - high protein, scrumptious

shockingly good for hotel restaurant

epitome of style over substance but its good style ngl

ngl, not bad at all

I like the bento boxes for lunch that’s it

CLOSED - Lease ended Jan 2025. Was ELEGANT but formal contemporary (Jenn's least favorite style)

Chef KWAME - institution, know the history if ur a real dcer - top of Jenn's try-next list

yes yes yes this is indian done right from restaurant vibe to menu

good neutral option, parents material

overpriced BUT GOOD ethiopian; classed up ethiopian, good for introducing whites

conrad is gorgeous I would go back for the dessert

really cute ice cream place in georgetown with FROYO OPTIONS… that are GOOD

really really underwhelmed, its all plating

CLOSED - Lease ended Jan 2025. Was classic French, foie gras ew gross

'Makan' = let's eat in Malay, Penang feel

cute neighborhood vibe, solid thai, small portions

avocado toast I actually crave

best salad - high protein - scrumptious shrimp - sucks It m

of peter chang fame

loveeee the downstairs lounge, fucking gorgeous design

two words. Egg bagels.

ppl with kind of bougie taste wont shut up about it

Pani puri snack, contemporary Indian - not memorable either

Upscale Indian near White House

overfuckingpriced but gorgeous interior, trying very hard to be french-y

honey cake - go here to be interesting

a big ole ugly institution but an INSTITUTION nonetheless

good for nrunch, always packed

good veg tacos!!

solid HH place, waste of a façade but great deviled eggs goddamn

cute, feels a little haunted, for a dinner with a grandpa or somethn

used to be zenebechs the name change was weird, they have a tilapia dish tha tmost other ethiopian places don’t so jenny likes (protein gains)

convenient location, you could miss it bc its basement level sort of - good moody vibe - for a low effort hangout

YES GET THE MOQUECE, go with food aventurers, good brunch

solid pasta place option, moody date night interior

too casual for my taste

idk how to describe this other than its VERY "OUI OUI"

I find it it heavy but if I remove my skinny bitch filter, its pretty awesome chinese

why tf are you closed on fridays and saturdays I know it’s a jewish thing but cmon.generous portions, sweet dudes on the kitchen staff, careful not to get too many pickled toppings

not at all good for pescatarian/non-meat eater diet; only filipino place I know; good brunch options

rly disgustingly cute ice cream shop, gives you a reason to go to mt pleasant which is underrated

get the cranberry pistachio shortbread cookies and shakshuka; their yogurt cup is fucked up good but legit 1k calories be careful

a little bit of a trek but woodley park is so cute, the mezze was great, all done great, kinda zionist I heard??

they almost died they came back they are an underdog, go if in the neighborhood, DO NOT ORDER online from them - it will take a ridiculous amount of time

really cute for brunch quick sweet treat pickup on a Sunday morn

hear it’s a RLY good burger

heard its standout for sushi - on Jenn's radar as soft sushi connoisseur

YES DOSAS

why does every basic bitch love barthelonaaaaaa, answer - its roaming with singles/fuckbois

you would never expect to be blown away but boy does this place do that. Phenom eggs. Just go. If ur party is afraid of georgia ave they are racist but also not super wrong

why oh why did they stop making za'taar pizza. Sigh. Dough is great. DO NOT SKIP THE EMPANADAS

solid pizza nothing special

chain but hear its reallllyyyy good

its so cute but never been bc I hear the food is just okay italian and jenny hates italian generally

replaced foxtrot rip - running a similar scam of dainty/trendy font, oferring the basic favs of the girlies

Love the service, elevated atmosphere, disappoints on some execution but EXCELLENT food aesthetics; so underwhelmed and disappointed but ambiance is killer - throw away fancy date

not memorable - always a little too greasy? A couple of standout items Id go back for at a happy hour

decent HH place, prime location, outdoor setups

great vegan ramen - upstairs has sushi - pretty solid, not memorable

if you want to feel like your greek grandmother made you dinner

carrot cake, why would you eat a full meal here idk

if you like jose andres, in the area, want tapas, meh

way too small portions but the mezze options are right son

once an institution, now it’s a little commonplace and lost its shine

insecur emen trying to feel important vibe sue me

neighborhood spot, nothing special but it maintains a senior institutional status in columbia heights

go for the vibes its all so mediocre - style over substance

u need to end up here at least once in your 20s and experience the shitty but also be saved by the toast when ur down bad at 2 am

ppl like this and idgi. The plates are massive and grossed me out. I understand they are doing americana but I get anxious with how much stuff is on the walls

really disappointed given history of chef ogawa - the senile has affected presentation I think

meh ramen but in admo

hated it here but I don’t remember why

they have pupusas. Are they good? No

knowing that this is supposedly where JFK supposedly proposed to jackie is enough, disgustingly packed during the holidays
