Best Romantic Restaurants in Columbia Heights / Brightwood

We had a celebratory anniversary dinner at the Tabard - which was outstanding in every way. First, we were seated promptly and in the quiet corner we had requested. Secondly, the place simply drips with a warm and comforting atmosphere. Thirdly, our server was friendly and super attentive. Fourth, the manager came over twice to make sure all was OK. Fifth, to help us celebrate bubbly and super delicious limoncello arrived on the house. Sixth, our food was simply delicious - frisee salad, hangar steak, rockfish, a side of carrots, bread with mushroom butter, and earl grey creme brulee - all super tasty and beautifully plated and served. This was not inexpensive but was a superb value for the money. We were visiting Washington - if we lived here we'd be regulars!

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the friendliness of the staff to the ambience to the food. Made our anniversary meal a great experience. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks to the Iron Gate for a memorable event.

Everything was cooked to perfection and the staff was attentive and helpful. Food was reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

The ambience is so beautiful! Now to the service, I still can’t get over how superb it was. Hands down THE BEST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED.. I sat there and I saw that this high quality type of service was provided to everyone! My wish is that The Park at 14th continues to prosper! Well wishes to everyone who worked last night Xo!

Loved El Secreto de Rosita! — The food was outstanding; exceptionally excellent. — The atmosphere was sophisticated, cultured, but also fun. — The decor is great and the seats are comfortable, all in all makes one not want to leave. — Our waiters could have been a little bit more patient and poised, but still the service was a solid A. — I am excited to go back to El Secreto de Rosita!
