    Kohlrabi Caesar (10/10)
    Jaseph S.

    Delicious food in a beautiful ambience! If you want a relaxing evening after work or to meet with a colleague for a happy hour, this is the perfect spot to dine. There is a DJ on Monday nights to complement the vibe. The dishes are unique and worth the try!

    Potato gnocchi
    Sydney G.

    Very cozy atmosphere inside! The staff were very attentive. I came with a group and others in my party ordered burgers and the chickpea panisse. The burgers looked really good, but they were not very flavorful. The chickpea panisse was enjoyed! I got the potato gnocchi which came in tuna bolognese. It was not fishy at all, and the there were tiny pieces of crispy tuna in the sauce. I can't believe how light the gnocchi were. They were the lightest gnocchi I have ever eaten. Definitely recommend!!

    After hearing about James Beard Foundation Award-winning Ellen Yin in Philly, I was excited to try a kitchen in DC. I came with some girlfriends for Saturday dinner and had a lovely time. I was a bit taken aback by the complete lack of people on a Saturday night and the apres ski experience being outside and not covered, but we cozied up against the fireplace and the service was fantastic. They checked on us often and even brought more fur blankets so we each had our own. The food was incredible and tasted very fresh and farm to table. Our favorites were the radicchio salad and grilled eggplant, which reminded me how much I love when vegetables are done well. We also had the oysters, raclette, bone marrow, steak frites, and cocktails, which were good. Based on the location, this would be a good spot to stop by before or after the Kennedy Center

    Loved the dim lighting, tea candles, and quiet vibes. Delicious food and friendly staff. I have never had a tuna bolognese before so was very excited to have tried that! Great mocktail selections as well

    Went here for a business lunch. The place itself was really cute. The food was good and I was glad I was able to try it but I don't think it was enough to crave going back. I had the waygu steak which was delicious however the salad had no dressing and the fries were a little oily though very crunchy and the panna cotta was great as well.

    Dining at A Kitchen & Bar for a Friday lunch, it was easy to get a table. Inside the AKA Hotel just off of Washington Circle, it's on the bottom level. The design is inviting and the staff are friendly and efficient. For lunch, I ordered a latte, their burger, chickpea panisse, and chocolate gelato with sesame crunch. Everything tasted great, but the burger was the winner. It comes with two patties and order bacon on it. The chickpea panisse is well done with the charred carrots, kuri squash tahina, and hot pepper. If you need a quiet spot for a lunch meeting with good food, go here.

    Fort the most part, A. Kitchen + Bar is a hit -- for me anyway. The decor is simple and modern. We tried the ribs, clams, salad and had awesome drinks. The clams were my favorite -- seasoned so well! Service was also a good experience. Typically, when restaurants are new, customer service can be a bit shaky as they get acclimated. All went well, and I hope you enjoy it too! Cheers

    The place was planned to be fancy. The interior is stylish and minimalistic. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is overpriced and tastes fine. Portions are on a smaller side. Would not be worth this much money thought. Drinks overpriced as well. If you are not caring about your budget, then sure, give it a try.

    I came in for Brunch but left with a feeling of so much joy. I was greeted by music of warmth. The music truly was inviting and allowed you to feel in the mood for breakfast. The person truly put together a well crafted playlist. The decor is also very aesthetically pleasing. I feel as if I am in an oasis of greenery and calmness. The details are well put together. The food is beautifully plated a great as well.i was so hungry and enjoyed looking at the plate. Service was impeccable and a great experience. Definitely come and try. You will not regret it.

    Eggs, potatoes, sausage
    Candace G.

    One of the best brunches I've experienced in a while. A kitchen and bar was a refreshing low key change of scenery from the hectic brunch scene in DC. Great service, delicious food and the most important part: spectacular drinks. I had the Easy A which is the US's version of the European pornstar martini. I had the eggs, potatoes and sausage. I know eggs are a pretty simple dish yet - these eggs were perfect and seasoned. Most places get them wrong, either too bland or scrambled too hard- again these were perfect. I'll definitely be back.

    New spot in DC that I came too during resturant week. The ambiance is very nice with inside and outside seating and a tropical feel. ALL the drinks were on point. I love that they take their time between each course. The starters were amazing. The burger, BLT, and the biscuits and gravy were well seasoned. The dessert was out of this world. Most importantly to any establishment is the staff. Five star staff that were very knowledgeable from the drinks to the eats as well as customer friendly. A must try if you are ever in the DC area. Bib gourmand here they come!:)

    Cute spot for a cocktail. The bar is the best to sit at. I recommend the deviled eggs!

    Had a great time here - it's small so definitely make a reservation…read more We got the 4 course to share - it's large portions so not a full meal for two people but if you're just looking for some snacks, highly recommend, we enjoyed every bite. We also ordered 3 rounds of drinks so 6 total and we each loved everything so I think you can't go wrong. I will say the Take Me Out was pretty sweet but I was in the mood for it at the time.

    Luckily, I got seated immediately at the bar without a reservation. Very chilled vibe…read more I can usually tell when service feels genuine, and somehow the bartenders here made everyone feel genuinely engaged while naturally knowing when to give you space. The cocktails are interesting and thoughtfully created. Unlike a typical mezcal-based cocktail, Promiscuous wasn't tropical or fruity at all, but more spirit-forward with a little spice. Highly recommend. It made me curious about what else they could offer. I noticed almost everyone was doing the $48 four-course tasting experience, so I decided to give it a try. Although I'm not a big fan of deep-fried food, I actually really liked the coconut shrimp tempura. Among the four courses, the yellowtail "roll" was the most special. It's not really a roll in the traditional sense -- crispy on the outside, with the yellowtail wrapped around it in a very creative presentation. The portion of the four- courses was surprisingly generous; I ended up taking most of it home. Since I Left You is an Old Fashioned variation with miso, blackberry, cardamom and cacao. If, like me, you dig creative takes on an Old Fashioned, don't miss this one. I came in just looking for a chilled place to have a drink, and ended up staying for the whole experience. That probably says enough.

    First time visiting this place after saving it on my list for a while now. Well, let's just say…read morethat it's worth the hype! Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular! Safe to say that we enjoyed both dishes and cannot wait to return and reserve indoor tables lol

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!

We tried two standout drinks that I can't recommend enough: the Attractive Nuisance and El Tiburon, (which is an Old Fashioned made with gin). The bartenders here clearly know what they're doing, each drink was crafted with care and precision. The good music in the background added to the overall ambiance, making it a delightful spot to spend an evening.
