    Went for Christmas dinner. Foggy Bottom was one of the two locations that had the a’ la carte menu which was why I picked the location. It was a little crowded waiting for our reservation time and they were behind but we expected that and didn’t mind. There were three of us and we all were happy with our meals. We had wings and the corn bread skillet for appetizers. The wings were really good. I’m not a fan of corn in my cornbread but it still tasted good. I had fried shrimp with fries, coleslaw and corn bread. The shrimp and fries were really good. The coleslaw was a little blah. Our other two diners had a platter with ribs, cheeseburger sliders and fried chicken and coleslaw. They both loved theirs but also were not fans of the coleslaw. The staff was friendly and professional and fast. We enjoyed talking to them and the two different sets of patrons sitting beside us. We had a great Christmas dinner despite it not being an “traditional” Christmas dinner and would come back again.

    Came here for Christmas Day buffet and all of the staff were in great moods and very helpful… despite working the holiday. We really appreciated having this option so that we didn’t have tot think about cooking dinner and could just spend time together as a family. Thank you so much for a great meal!

    We love Chef Geoff’s. Plenty for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Steak was wonderful. Salmon was excellent (even the teenager loves it.) The vegetarian loves the mushroom ravioli. Excellent cocktails and cocktails. Services always attentive and warm. Been coming since I was a grad student at AU. Now I bring my family (including my 18YO!) So happy to share Chef Geoff’s with my family.

    Service started a little slow, but our server had many tables and it's a Saturday night in DC. Fine after he turned some tables. Food was excellent and came out at a nice pace. Look forward to coming back!

    Beautiful Atmosphere and Vibe! I will be going back.. We met some really nice people!The only downside is the TABLE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SUPPORT THE HOOKAH better‼️ you bump the table just vibing to the music and YOUR responsible to pay for the hookah.
