Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Penn Quarter, Washington

M Squared Real Estate • August 15, 2011Hip space, the very best Indian food in DC. The Palak Chaat is a must, but really can't go wrong with any dish. Plan ahead, reservations are difficult to get. Or show up with your fingers crossed.

Morten A. • September 19, 2017The Capital Grille allways deliver 100%. My favourite steak house in D.C

Kathryn J. • December 18, 2014Denson's offers top-notch prohibition cocktails and (surprisingly) an authentic cuban panini. Best for small groups as even the back room only accommodates 8. Excellent service!

Feld G. • February 23, 2018Great cocktails and finger food in a swanky but comfortable lounge. Get the cocktail flight - excellent!

Stefanie S. • January 27, 2013Best dishes: tuna cheviche, brussels sprouts, camarones (shrimp), braised short ribs, chile en nogada (pablano stuffed pepper) and for dessert... de tres leches (amazing). Also get the fresh gauc.

Devin E. • August 4, 2011The Arroz de pato 'Jean-Louis Palladin' and the Dátiles con tocino 'como hace todo el mundo' as far as drinks, the Cava sangria is a winner. A different taste with Cava and sparkling white wine.

Washington Post • April 1, 2015The long waits are worth it: Try out the terrific dim sum, a first-class pisco sour and the house signature seviche, Clásico la Mar.

Emily H. • May 13, 2015Black tea gelato is perfection, and the chai lattes are delicious. Friendly staff, nice people watching from the seats inside.

IS K. • October 5, 2014Could be the best Italian restaurant in DC. Fresh fish, salads, homemade pasta and desserts all delish. And the service is top notch.

Adam R. • January 10, 2015New York's greatest gift to the places with Shake Shack. Get a shack burger and a fair shake with some crinkle fries. House beer is also solid.

Camilla • May 8, 2016Looove this place! So many different salads to choose from and they chop it right in front of you! It's so fresh, it doesn't get much better than this!

Emoke D. • May 3, 2011Come join Antonio for cocktail 9. Tonight it is Seville 75-brandy, Cava, lemon juice &simple syrup. Great way to end your workday!!

Michael J. • June 17, 2020Very good barbecue (though pricey). Best part of Hill Country is the downstairs concerts. You can grab a drink and enjoy some really great music.

Ronald B. • June 3, 2011Definitely grab a Southern Belle since it is the traditional red velvet. Personal flavour recommendation: Summertime.

borysSNORC • March 13, 2014Second best lobster bisque I've had in my entire life... gotta go a long way to find better - Moeraki Boulders in New Zealand.

Karen • May 28, 2022Really cozy cafe. The dirty chai is recommended.

Amanda D. • August 7, 2012I love how much meat they give you in every sandwich. The meat to toppings ratio is always on point and leaves me satisfied. There are also some healthy options on the menu to try too!
