- MMichellePhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe got the Jaleo experience tasting menu. It was excellent, and more food than we were expecting. Definitely worth the price! It was somewhat loud and we had trouble hearing the wait staff at times, but otherwise we would definitely do this again!More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7
- RRobWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe went to Jont two years ago and it was spectacular then and I wasn’t sure how they could improve. However, this visit was off the charts and I’m not sure why they don’t have three Michelin stars yet. We have been to 30 Michelin stars worth of restaurants globally so we have a pretty good perspective. Chef Ryan was in the kitchen (which you essentially sit at a bar adjacent to) the whole time and he came over and spent some time with us which was very cool. The staff is funny, friendly and well informed. I got the special Waygu Zabuton in lieu of chicken and it was probably the best steaks I’ve ever had. Sometimes these type restaurants get a little too eclectic with one or two dishes, and that wasn’t the case here. Every dish wowed our family. In fact, my wife ate Uni for the first time (having passed on it before) and loved it. We feel fortunate to have this spot in DC and can’t wait to go back.More infoJôntPrice: Very Expensive• French / Japanese• U Street Corridor•4.9
- AArmandAtlanta Metro •5 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe food was amazing! We got large portions, full of flavor. The guacamole was awesome and freshly made. Everything was really good. Our server, Jose Luis, was very attentive and made some great drink and entree recommendations. I would definitely return here for another amazing dining experience!!More infoMi Vida, District WharfPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Southwest Waterfront•4.6
- ZPZP001VIPWashington, D.C. Area •35 reviews5.0Dined on 23 Dec 2024We got reservations on a short notice and was seated promptly for a late-ish lunch. We immediately got water and after a short while some piping hot bread to sop up the olive oil. We shared the kebab platter, humus, scallops, baked eggplant and cheese pied. Everything was delicious - my fave was the luscious eggplant. The kebabs were tender and came with various fresh garnishes and sauces. The scallops were sweet and fresh and perfectly cooked.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
