    Pasta
    Keyin L.

    Have been seeing this place on social media and decided to give it a try. We had a reservation at 5:30 but the place wasn't too crowded and got seated in a booth towards the back. The music and overall ambiance felt classy and inviting but not overly formal. Cocktail menu is extensive and the espresso martini was delicious. They only had two mocktail options so I asked if they could make me a virgin mojito and they were able to! Food was delicious as well, the focaccia is perfect, crunchy and soft on the inside. They also know their pasta, it was perfectly al denta and delicious. My only complaint is that for the $24 price point on the pasta, I was expecting a larger portion but it was closer to an appetizer size. Would definitely be back to try their other items as they seem to have a changing menu A great spot for a date night!

    Y'all... Altitude absolutely exceeded every expectation. I came here for a girls dinner not really knowing what to expect. It's still pretty new and doesn't have a ton of reviews yet, but the speakeasy vibe and cozy atmosphere immediately pulled me in. From the second we walked in, it just felt like one of those places you want to stay all night. We started with two different French 75s and they were perfect. Great pours, balanced drinks, and exactly how a cocktail should be made. For starters, we ordered the focaccia with two spreads. One reminded me of a roasted red pepper spread and the other had this sweet, jam-like flavor. I honestly wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did, but we were in heaven. Easily a 10/10. We also shared the meatballs, which came with three perfectly cooked meatballs topped with crispy breadcrumbs. Another dish that didn't miss. For my entrée, I ordered the artichoke dish after our server recommended it when I mentioned I wanted something lighter. Artichokes can be hit or miss, but this was one of the best dishes I've had in a while. Between the artichokes and the crispy kale, I kept saying "wow" after every bite. My friend ordered the Spaghetti alla Chitarra and loved every bite of hers too. Our server was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. It reminded me of a type of wine. She was so bubbly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience even better. The bartender also made us another variation of a French 75 that was a little stronger, and it was fantastic. The atmosphere deserves its own paragraph. It's intimate, cozy, grown and sexy, and perfect for either date night or catching up with your girls. My friend and I ended up sitting there for almost three hours without realizing it because we were having such a great time. Even the bathrooms deserve a shoutout. They're located down the hall since the restaurant shares the building, but the lighting was amazing (yes, the mirror passed the test), and the whole setup somehow made the experience feel even more private and tucked away. I also loved how easy parking was. There's a garage directly underneath the building, so you can park, take the elevator up, and you're basically at the restaurant. The only thing I didn't get to explore was the listening room. I'm definitely curious what happens in there because it looked like such a cool space. If anyone knows whether they play records or host live music, let me know because I'll absolutely be back to check it out. It's rare to find a restaurant that nails the food, drinks, service, atmosphere, and overall experience all at once. Altitude managed to do exactly that. As someone who's usually not rushing to Virginia for dinner, this place has officially changed my mind. There's also this cute dessert at the end I can't wait to come back.

    This is a very interesting new spot that bills itself as a listening room and wine bar. As a music aficionado, it immediately caught my attention, and it seemed like the perfect place for my husband and me to try since we both love music and my husband is also an aviation enthusiast. The marketing surrounding the space hinted at an aviation theme, though I'd describe it as a fairly loose interpretation. There are subtle nods to aviation throughout the venue, but fellow aviation nerds shouldn't expect an overwhelming amount of aircraft-inspired décor. The layout is unique and can feel a bit tight in some areas. This is definitely an intimate space that seems designed for couples or small groups rather than large gatherings, which suited us perfectly. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the maître d', who gave us a brief introduction to the concept. He explained that guests could browse the vinyl collection and even suggest albums to be played throughout the evening, which was a thoughtful and interactive touch. Once seated, we were greeted by our server, who was pleasant and reasonably knowledgeable about the menu. Since the restaurant had only been open for three days, a few growing pains were understandable. One thing I noticed was that we were initially given only the drink menu and not the food menu. Multiple tables around us had to request the food menu as well. If that isn't already standard practice, I'd recommend providing both menus at the same time. To start, we ordered the bread service, which came with an interesting honey-like spread that we both enjoyed. We also ordered the meatballs, which were phenomenal and had us excited for our entrées. Service moved at a comfortable pace, and both the food and drinks arrived within a reasonable amount of time. For our entrées, I ordered the spaghetti while my husband chose the rabbit dish. Both were excellent, fresh, and clearly made to order. The handmade pasta was especially noticeable. Given that many wine bars tend to focus primarily on small plates and light bites, it was refreshing to find a menu offering substantial, satisfying entrées. It was an unexpected highlight of the evening. The music naturally shifts in mood throughout the night based on the selected records, but the vinyl collection is impressive. I would love to see more soul, jazz, and hip-hop albums added to the collection, as those genres create particularly strong listening-room vibes and really complement the atmosphere. The staff also appears to curate the flow thoughtfully, ensuring the music remains cohesive throughout the evening. Overall, we would absolutely return. This is a great spot for date night, meaningful conversation, or simply slowing down and enjoying good food, wine, and music. For a concept that is self-described as a listening room, it successfully delivers an experience that feels both unique and intentional.

It turned out to be the perfect way to spend the evening. The restaurant sits on the 11th floor, and we grabbed seats at the bar facing the window, with a great view of Reagan National Airport and the Metro trains passing by. We started with a Sam Adams and a Coke to quench our thirst, then ordered the 16 oz NY Strip cooked medium and a side of garlic mashed potatoes to share. The steak was cooked exactly to our liking, and since we prefer ours simply seasoned with salt and pepper, it let the quality of the beef shine. The mashed potatoes were a surprise: the portion was so generous that it was almost too much for the two of us. The woman sitting next to me even offered to share hers because her serving was so large. I thanked her and told her we'd ordered the same thing! After a couple of relaxing hours and a couple of beers, we headed home once the traffic had eased. If you're in the area, Ruth's Chris is well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

I've tried a bite of the pizza in the past and thought it was pretty good, so I wanted to finally get my own! The line was a few people long, and it didn't take too long for my slice to be ready. MARGHERITA SLICE - 5.50 The slice was on the smaller side, but I wasn't going to argue since I wasn't too hungry to begin with. But after tax, it was 6.05, which is kind of pricy for just a slice. The margherita slice didn't really look like a margherita slice. It looked more like cheese pizza with a few shriveled pieces of basil and a random slice of tomato, which I have yet to see on any margherita pizza. The flavor was fine, but I also accepted that it's just a cheese slice with a single tomato slice. Maybe I need to try a different pizza if I return in the future. It's just a bit expensive, but that's Water Park for ya!

I really enjoyed the pizza the first time around, but it hasn't lived up to that standard since. On my most recent visit this week, I ordered the lunch special: a slice of supreme pizza, a "Greek salad," and a drink. I took my bag to the waterpark area, ready to enjoy my meal. But when I opened the salad, I was immediately disappointed. It was a barebones version of a traditional Greek salad--just peppers, olives, onions, tomatoes, and cucumber topped with feta. No Romaine lettuce, even though it's listed as an ingredient for the Greek salad on their ToastTab online ordering page (see image). Wanting to clarify, I walked back to the restaurant and asked about the missing lettuce. The employee informed me--bluntly--that the salad doesn't come with it. When I asked if I could have some, her response was dismissive: she motioned toward the register and said, "Sure, you can have some lettuce, if you pay for it." Had she handled it more politely, it wouldn't have left such a sour taste. To add to the confusion, there are two menu photos posted on Yelp that describe the Greek salad as including Romaine. However, the printed menu at the restaurant has since changed, and the lettuce has been quietly removed. So buyer beware--what you see online may not match what's served. Between the misleading menu and the rude customer service, I'm not sure I'll be returning.

It doesn't matter if it's a dreary Tuesday night or you're at the bar debating whether the Commanders should become the Redskins again--it's always a great place to be. Where else do you find yourself sharing your fries because someone says, "That crab cake looks so good," and you casually cut it in half? That's the kind of place this is. The patrons are among the friendliest I've encountered anywhere (a special thanks to the regulars). On one packed football night, there wasn't a seat available in the house. Guess what happened? A group of loud, hungry, football-loving fans squeezed me in at their table like we'd known each other for years. Okay, let's get to the food. Did I mention the crab cakes? Remember, I'm a native Washingtonian from blue crab country. They're not the best crab cakes between Baltimore, DC and Annapolis (competition is fierce) --but they are the best $21 crab cake sandwich I've foun, served on a brioche bun with fries and coleslaw. Ever been to Bourbon Street? The Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp brings those flavors to your table, with blackened chicken and shrimp drizzled in a sweet bourbon glaze over creamy mashed potatoes. Now for the cholesterol... those huge, crispy onion rings are fried to perfection. Love pasta? Try the Chicken Alfredo. It's generously portioned with grilled chicken, broccoli, and a rich Alfredo sauce that's perfectly balanced with the pasta. (I hate when pasta is swimming in sauce.) Believe me, I've only scratched the surface. If you see me there (I'm the guy in the hat in the photo), stop by and say hello. The first beer is on me!

To place your food order, use the QR code for the menu, make your choices and press the convenient built-in server call button to summon the server to take care of your order preference. For food, I prefer to stick to plain popcorn to consume in the dark, anything else would be distracting. A big plus is their enforced strict policy against talking or texting during films. I wish more cinemas would have the same warning given at the start of every film. The Alamo Drafthouse has a premium auditorium featuring an enormous 66 foot wide screen laser projection with immersive Dolby Atmos 52 speaker surround sound which really packs a punch. Thankfully, we wore our earbuds, or would have experienced some hearing stress or loss. ***Do arrive 30 minutes early to get your food and drinks orders in, thus to avoid being interrupted during the movie** Enjoy!
