    Last night was nothing short of epic! My girlfriends and I kicked off 2025 with a sensational dinner at On Saint Elmo, and wow, what an experience it was! I had visited during the grand opening, but returning was even more exhilarating. The lobster bisque pasta? Absolute magic! Each bite was a slice of heaven, especially when paired with a crisp glass of white wine that danced on my palate. The manager went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even filled us in on all the thrilling upcoming events at the restaurant! But the highlight of the night? Meeting the amazing Chef Gregory! He was warm and personable, coming over to chat with us and soak in the fantastic atmosphere. My friends couldn’t stop raving about their dishes, savoring every delicious flavor! We left buzzing with excitement, already counting down the days until our next visit for that mouthwatering food, vibrant ambiance, stellar service, and fantastic music! It truly was the perfect evening, and we can't wait for our next exhilarating adventure there!

    We have been going to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints us. The pita was hot and fresh, we love the zatar and olive oil dip. The camel wings were hot and delicious the salads crisp and not over dressed. The lentil soup is flavorful and filling. One of my kids enjoyed the chicken curry and the other the tabouleh salad and taverna salad with chicken, my husbands lamb kabob was cooked just right. There were no leftovers! The service was attentive and not intrusive . We will continue to enjoy meals there for as long as they remain in woodley park

    Great food. Really good service. A little noisy, like any popular restaurant in the city usually is. We dine here every time we’re in DC.
