Would be silly to pass this place up. Hip neighborhood, awesome interior decor, terrific service and an absolutely exceptional meal.

The steak was very good but the short ribs were fatty and just not what I expected.

Went in for casual dinner after work ended up arriving shortly before District Trivia which is hosted every Thursday. Even with the busy crowd the service was a...

The Ellington is a fabulous community with warm and friendly staff, prime location, and great amenities. Fainting Goat provided a lovely experience with attentive service, tasty food, and complimentary birthday treats. Alchemist offered a cool, speakeasy vibe with delicious cocktails and food, though the portions were a bit small. Despite some issues with limited menus and high prices, each establishment showcased unique settings and friendly service. From brunch cocktails to intimate settings, these spots offer diverse experiences worth trying in the District.

Just a cocktail Hopscotch. A bit sweet for my taste but still good. Nice casual atmosphere with friendly service. Not specular but also not necessary.
