I had an amazing experience, as usual. Our server Chris was attentive and engaging. The managers checked-in to make sure we were comfortable, and food and drinks were to our satisfaction. The food is outstanding! Period. Every dish was absolutely delicious as well as the crafted cocktails. If you plan to go, check out the menu but don't make up your mind before arrival. The chef will definitely have something on the specials that will make you rethink your decision.

Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!
