"The food was amazing, drinks were spectacular, location is second to none with the pier right on the water. Hannah took great care of us, everything came out super quick despite being Christmas Day. Highly recommended if you’re in Old Town and want to get away from King Street for a fantastic experience."

"Wow, just had the Brisket Cheesesteak platter, and it was fantastic! Its made with buttery grilled sourdough toast, just perfect. The French fries, cole slaw, and brussel sprouts were great, too. Very highly recommend!"

"This place is sosoossosoo delicious. We have been here probably a dozen times. Anna at the front counter is SO SWEET. the waiters always have a great personality. the food is really, truly good. we love getting the meatball with an extra side of straciatella, lots of focaccia bread, and a classic stracci pizza!! stupid good. we love it. they do make a lot of food fresh, so it’s highly unlikely you can get takeout when it’s getting close to the end of the night. and occasionally they will have to turn you away if it’s close to closing time, because they’ll be fully committed on pizzas for the evening. there are no reservations unless you have a party of 5+ people. they do make the waiting time pleasant by allowing you to buy drinks and focaccia : and there are a lot of standing tables outside for while you wait!!! again the focaccia is literally life changing. and they hand make the cheese that is on all the pizzas. my husband and I are very big foodies (and travellers and we haven’t been anywhere in DC or Italy that has better pizza than Stracci. also surprisingly affordable if you aren’t drinking."

"Decided to stop for lunch based on Yelp reviews while in town for my daughter's graduation from Georgetown. Everything was amazing! We were immediately impressed when we walked in. It was obviously a pretty new place, and looked cool. The staff greeted us very warmly, as did our waitress. She (Aleksandra was very attentive, polite and friendly. Excellent service! The four of us shared a couple of pizzas and squash ravioli (if I remember correctly or was it gnocchi? . Delicious, all of it! Sorry to wait so long to review, but was just going through receipts and was reminded of what a nice lunch we had, and decided to find you on FB. Not sure we'll be back that way soon, but if we are, we'll be sure to hit Lena's again."

"Visited this restaurant on a weekday. Ample parking, and the restaurant was clean and had a good ambience. We decided to get the hibachi and we're seated in the back area. The waiter was knowledgeable and the service was quick. I wouldn't say the food was anything special or better that other hibachi places. I felt the soft shell crab was a let down. It didn't look like a crab but more like something that was fried in a square shape and cut up in slices. I ordered my steak rare, and it was good to know it was cooked to order. I think this place could do a better job in the order they cook food, it just took a long time for my entire order, and I could not enjoy all of it together at one time. To note there was a really bad draft and it made everyone cold. I would not come here during the winter time if you don't have a jacket, at least to the hibachi section."

"I have been a frequent customer of Kumo for the past 12 years. During the Pandemic they only did carry out and delivery. This month I have visited them four times. Here are my observations: Service: AWESOME!!! They have really gone from outstanding to AWESOME! Food: OUTSTANDING! I don't work close to Kumo anymore, so I tried multiple sushi places and they all suck. Kumo has the best Sushi in Northern Virginia. I have become an addict to the their lunch menu. Check it out on their site, better yet, go there for lunch. You can get 3 high quality Sushi Rolls, a Miso soup or a Salad for $18.00. Ambiance: Nice super clean environment. Great place for Lunch or to take a date in the evening. I strongly recommend this great hidden gem."

"Our meal was excellent. I had the lettuce wraps as a starter. They were very tasty and a tad spicy. My entree was the liver and onions. I recommend getting it medium rare. The beef was cooked perfectly. I'm a man who doesn't want anything on my steak. If it is an excellent cut, I just want to taste the beef. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the mix of onion flavors. It was very good. In addition, my fiancée had the Scallops Tiradito which was good. Our server, Leo, answered all of our questions and provided us with the history of the executive chef. We look forward to our next visit."

"We always walk past Galae Thai and figured we’d stop by for lunch today and I’m glad we did! This restaurant usually doesn’t have a ton of people in it (due to its location, I’m sure) so there wasn’t a wait time and the food came out very fast. I ordered the Drunken Noodles and it was delicious! My hubby ordered the Galae Noodles and it was a bit similar but not as spicy and had a slight sweetness to it. Parking: Parking spots in this area are usually all taken throughout the day."

"I'm writing this in hopes that the restaurant management sees it and makes the necessary corrections. I've enjoyed at the House of Dynasty for years. One reason is that the service was always good and the food was well prepared and hot when it came to the table. We visited on a Sat. night and it wasn't very busy. We seated ourselves with an impersonal nod from a server and waited over 10 minutes before anyone came to greet us. When we finally did get some tea it was just warm,"

"This restaurant is a super easy walk from the Sheraton a few blocks away and is open until 9:30pm most nights. The ambiance is quaint, but nice. I liked the music choice of the staff. The service was to the point, and they seemed to be polite about us cutting it close to closing time. I ordered the pad see ew and sweet and sour chicken. The pad see ew was quite good. The chicken was cooked well, and the sauce was sweet and savory. It was not too oily or smoky. The sweet and sour chicken was pretty good, as well. It was white meat chicken (which I love), but the batter was just a little bit burnt and tasteless. It was still fairly good, but the sweet and sour sauce could use just a little more thickness and sweetness to it. It was a bit watery and didn't adhere to the chicken very well. The dish was still pretty good, though. I also ordered some spring rolls, which were extremely good. The filling tasted fresh and light. They cut them open so that the inside doesn't scorch your mouth when you try to eat it. Our work team was pretty happy with their meals. We tried to order some dessert, but they were out of the mango rice and some other items. We ended up with the coconut ice cream, which my coworker really liked. My coworkers also particularly loved the calamari appetizer."

"Horrible service! Unprofessional and rude! Older black man with glasses (supposedly manager) made it very clear he hates BLACK PEOPLE! Let's keep in mind he's black and came from a BLACK WOMAN! I will never return! My food was wrong I called several times to have order fixed correctly, hold time twice was 14 minutes, so I had to drive back for a refund! Frustrating. He walked outside to my vehicle and yelled where are my sodas, my response at my house where I should be eating my subs however you made an mistake, and didn't care to provide me with caring customer service. Come on it was 2 can sodas! Following me to my car was unnecessary."

"The only thing that kept my score from being the usual outstanding score is my order was messed up and when fixed, it was subpar. So my partner and I came for happy hour and order appetizers and drinks for the table and our meals to go. He had the chicken Louisiana and I had the club w/ fries. The fries was left off my order so when I brought it up our waiter brought some fries back quickly but they tasted as if they had been sitting out all day so I still didn’t eat the fries. A very unusual experience for Joe’s but the waiter was super awesome and so I didn’t cause a funk, we love this place and everyone has a night."

"Pros:-The coffee is really strong-10/10 key lime Pie!-Cook/Hostess was super friendly-Turkey roast dish was decent. probably no longer get, but it wasn't the worst thing I hadCons:-you gave me a tonne greener bean. they gave me so much that I thought I was with my mother? at least the waitress didn't tell me to finish all my sweets before I got dessert. - she was pretty busy, so it took a while until she got my order and got my tail. tldr; finally a good place to check! I'm probably not gonna get the turkey back to the roast. recommend the coffee and the limette cake!"

"We came in for dinner with a large party and the staff handled it so well. They didn’t seem stressed at all. They took our orders and did separate checks with no issues. There were no problems with getting the food to the right person or the checks to the right people. The food was amazing, some of the best sushi I have had. The staff was super friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend this place."

"Food: I got the lamb burger and Greek fries. The hamburger meat was bland, but the halloumi cheese was quite a bit too salty. It felt unbalanced and not something that I would order again. The fries were relatively cold (and I always eat my fries first. My order came out last in the group, so I would have expected that they were waiting for something to cook in order for mine to come out, but from eating it, that didn 't seem to be the case. However, I 've only tried Greek food in the last year, and only a handful of times. So, perhaps it is just my inexperienced pallet. Either way, it isn 't something that I would purchase again. Service: To give the restaurant credit, I came with a larger group, and our group did not call ahead to let them know we were coming, which is on us. However, it took at least 45 minutes for someone to come to our table to even take our orders, and then another hour for the food to come out. Yes, it was lunchtime, but there were only perhaps 10-15 individuals in the restaurant when we arrived, and half of those were already eating. The server checked in with us only one time once we got the food and asked if everything was OK. One member of the group expressed disappointment that their dish with chicken was extremely overcooked and dry, and the server responded with ok and walked away. There was no attempt at an apology or an attempt to be understanding. I know that not all restaurants would replace the food, but it would have been a more pleasant experience if the response had been more empathetic. I understand having to wait as a large group, but the excessive wait and the lack of serviceable mindset it what earned them a 2 star review here for my visit. Atmosphere: The building seems to be very aptly decorated. There are beautiful vines and a lovely balcony for outdoor dining. The art and the layout gave me a very distinct Greek feel. Overall: I would be willing to try again and see if the service was better without a large group, and perhaps a different food item would be more enjoyable for me. However, it 's going to be a while before I even want to try again."

"This was the first time we have been here since covid shutdowns. It is always super busy so hard to get into, but we chose a week night to celebrate a birthday and were able to make reservations super easy online. Got there and were greeted with smiles and our waitress was great and checked on us often. The food was also great! Definitely will go again sooner this time!"
