Mediterranean Restaurant · Adams Morgan · 35 tips and reviews
Julie Eschbacher: Menu rotates daily, but if you're lucky to see these get them: zucchini bread, scallops with chili oil, and the corn + taleggio ravioli
JD Bhargava: Solid brunch menu, small portions
Gregory Fisher: Breads and pastas! Get them all! The goat cheese ravioli was only outdone by both the focaccia (w/ meatballs) seaweed sourdough, which, thankfully, imo, doesn’t taste like I expected seaweed to taste

Dara Fisher: Right next to Tabard Inn, and also an amazing place for brunch! They have a beautiful courtyard out back where you can eat outside in nice weather as well.
Eater: Has a dramatic outdoor space, with a tree and vines climbing the walls. Tony Chittum's cooking leans Southern Italian and Greek, with a wine program from Brent Kroll, and cocktails from Jeff Faile.
Bilal: A really cool and intimate place to take your bae or baes.
