- FFrederickVIPWashington, D.C. Area •42 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoDelicious holiday brunch. Fresh French bread, excellent coffee, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and fantastic Croque Madame.

- DDavidVIPWashington, D.C. Area •49 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoPhilomena is a pillar in the DC community and for great reason. When you first walk down the, many steps, you enter your known as house. During the holiday season, the restaurant is decorated from head to toe with Christmas celebration. The staff are all extremely courteous and helpful And always dressed amazingly. The food is outstanding. All portions are large enough to share so get a few dishes and let your table enjoy old world Italian cuisine. Anything on the menu is a score in my book. But don’t forget always leave room for dessert. The cannoli are amazing!More infoFilomena RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Georgetown•4.8
- RRyanWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoJust coming back from Paris, my husband and I decided we would organize his birthday dinner here as a loving nod to a wonderful experience abroad. The food was delicious and so very well presented. The wine was impeccable and cocktails were perfect. The ambiance, especially around the holidays, is unmatched. I will say it was surprisingly busy for a late evening dinner on a Tuesday and I think that made wait times for items longer than ideal. That being said, it was a top notch experience and we will be back!More infoLa Grande Boucherie - DCPrice: Very Expensive• French• Washington•4.5
- TThomasWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoSuper Restaraunt. Very good atmosphere, friendly wait staff, very good price point. Reservations are highly recommended as this is a local go-to. There are four bars in the restaurant, one in each corner. So, while this is a white linen dining experience, you must not think of it as posh or fine dining given the tavern extraordinaire atmosphere. It obviously has the DC charm of “Cheers” sans Norm and Sam, with a kicked up level regarding the dining. Very tasty meal, great selection of cuisine. I highly recommend OEG.More infoOld Ebbitt GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.8
