The Sovereign was an excellent find for us while visiting DC! At the end of a full day we wanted a nice dinner in the Georgetown area and this place was a gem. Great food (best mussels my wife has had) and delicious drinks (awesome Belgian beer selection) made for an outstanding dinner!

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.

Had to wait a long time for the table even with a reservation due to half the restaurant being held for a holiday party. But the food and service was good once we were finally seated.
