    Artichoke salad
    Jennifer V.

    Fresh and elegant food. Perfect place for a date or a drink with a friend! The service is IMMACULATE! I cannot speak more highly of Rafael or our wonderful waitress Riley!!!

    I tried to buy some caviar while placing a grocery order last night but unfortunately, they were all out. Since I already had all of the fixings that were already delivered, I decided to look elsewhere where see where I might be able to have some delivered. Apero has lots of high quality options at a range of price points. I wasn't looking for anything too fancy and found something that was right in line with what I had hoped to pay. To my surprised, it was delivered with all of the accouterments already diced and prepped in small, separate containers as well as a serving of kettle chips. It was nice because I was able to pretty much go to snacking fairly easily and didn't even need to go into my stash and prep. This was such a lovely bonus to discover and will definitely be the way to go in the future if I'm not entertaining at volume. Thanks, Apero!

    Champagne

    Wet hair for a friend's birthday for a happy hour to start the weekend. It wasn't my favorite place. I've been to, but it wasn't my pick so based on the menu and customer service I would honestly give this place 5.9/10 - the waitress was super friendly, eager to have us try things, but unfortunately, the menu is super small very limited as as well as the spacing inside of this place. - I did enjoy the champagne and caviar, but for a person like me unfortunately, all I had options to eat were potato chips and roasted olives. Will, I visit again?probably not. The devil eggs were supposed to be their top item, but it's completely bland. It had no flavor whatsoever. I've never had a devil egg that just taste like nothing. Overall, the experience was good to have but not the best for happy hour

    Manhattan cocktail
    Rebecca H.

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. The Manhattan cocktail was great. The mushroom cigarettes were crispy and delicious. The caviar was good and I liked the accompaniments that came with it. The confit canard leg was delicious and flavorful. The bread pudding was good too though a little bit dry. The service was great. The ambiance was dark and chic - the space was small inside but it made the vibe more intimate.

    Such a lovely little spot in Georgetown I absolutely loved the moody atmosphere and all the beautiful mirrors throughout the space -- it felt so cozy, elegant, and romantic. The people who work here are all incredibly kind, sweet, and helpful, and the veggies tasted so fresh. Everything was wonderful and we'll definitely be back to try more dishes soon

    Foie Gras Pate
    Clara S.

    Really cute french wine bar that's perfect for a girls night out! Portion sizes are on the smaller side, so it's a good place to order a few dishes and share everything, tapas-style. Service was super friendly-- but do note that service charge is included in the bill. - Wine: 1000/10 (fantastic wine. Honestly the wine was the star of the dinner.) - Deviled eggs: 7/10 (ok but the taste wasn't as strong as I thought it'd be... it just tasted like eggs) - Foie gras pate: 7/10 (ok foie gras, but on the sweeter side) - Mushroom cigar: 10/10 (loved the mushroom sauce-- very creamy and flavorful) - Papardelle limone pasta: 10/10 (they kindly split the pasta for us to share. Very creamy and slightly citrusy-- def the best dish of the night)

    Potato Waffle
    Lia M.

    I celebrated my birthday here and loved it. Apero is elegant and charming. I loved the ambiance and our meal. Three stars because the seating was extremely uncomfortable. The two-tops are pub-style and it was absolutely awful. I'm so sick of being uncomfortable during meals that I really want to enjoy. I couldn't even asked to be moved, because there was nowhere to move to. Then, it took forever for service. My partner reminded me that we couldn't leave, even though I wanted to, because we'd be charged. However, once our server came by, service was excellent. I forget our server's name, but she was amazing, and definitely made the experience better. I absolutely loved our food and drink. The drinks were delicious. I had the Starstruck, a passionfruit mimosa, and he had the espresso martini. Both were great. For our meal, we shared the gougeres, pickled vegetables, fromage trio, classic crepes, and crispy potato waffle. The fromage board was the standout, for sure. The cheeses were delicious and the accompaniments perfect. Pickled vegetables were tasty and the gougeres delectable. Crepes were light and crisp. The potato waffle with lox with the perfect savory brunch. Food and drink wise, I could not have asked for a more perfect meal. I really wanted dessert, but did not have room. I'd love to return to Apero, but not sure I would given the overall experience.

    Crepes

    I have been here several times and each time is just great. I love the enter vibe of the inside and think it's a perfect spot for a romantic dinner. The outside patio is also a lovely option though. Service is always fantastic, have never had anything but exceptional service. As far as food goes I have never had anything that isn't wonderful and every plate I see I "oh I need to get that next time" Recently they ran their caviar hh all weekend for pride and it was the first time I was able to take advantage of it and what a treat! If you can make the hours it is offered it is definitely worth it

    Inside-small but cozy
    Cici G.

    Loved this venue. My friend and I met up for drinks and a snack and this place was perfect for that. It's a little smaller on the inside but the decor and mode is perfect. It's great for a date night or meeting up with a girlfriend for an elevated night out. I would highly recommend

    My girlfriend and I go out 1x a year to celebrate the holidays and keep up our gift exchange "tradition" by taking ourselves out to a bougie/fancy meal, and this year it was my turn to pick the location. I stumbled upon Apero while reviewing Yelp recommendations and was instantly impressed! my gf had never had caviar service before, so I knew this had to be the experience for this year. I was drawn in by the Michelin stars too. Upon walking in, it's instantly clear this is a hole in the wall/hidden gem like spot. The interior was nicely decorated, modern and complementary to the vibe they cultivate here. Upon walking in I was seated, as I made a reservation and found parking right out front. I was asked whether I wanted sparking or still and I opted for the bottle of still. The server was busy tending to many tables and once my guest arrived he came around to ask if this was a "birthday". I explained to him that upon making the reservation I labeled it a special event and he corrected me by saying "so....not a birthday". From there it seemed the attention waned. I understand this is a cozy spot but it felt as if they were rushing us quite often, even when tables were vacant. This restaurant automatically charges patrons 22.5% tip so I would expect stellar service. The food was honestly, remarkable. The deviled eggs with the house caviar was delectable and decadent. The house caviar was on the briny salty side so it worked with the appetizer. We also got the oysters with the pear mignonette. It all came ready to eat with the vinegar already perfectly portioned per shell. I booked for brunch, kind of expecting the lunch menu to be available to order the caviar tagatelli, but only brunch was offered. We split the pear salad and that was scrumptious too! We topped it off with a caviar selection that was more on the creamy and less briny scale and the chips and accoutrements were awesome. I didn't quite understand the waffles. We didn't quite love them. When we wanted more chips he insisted he would run it as an extra charge so we decided not to. We got 2 beverages each- one glass of champagne and one espresso martini. They are well known for their caviar and champagne so we just had to indulge in some bubbly. I asked for a sweeter option but ultimately settled for a brut champagne which was very nice. The espresso tini was very strong! Loved it! We ended the evening with the baba (cake soaked in rum) and braised apples. The apples retained their tartness and it was so yummy. We ordered tea as well. I had to ask for cream and honey. Overall, this place is worth a visit. Food gets 5 stars for sure, service is really the only reason this review isn't 5 stars. Keep in mind the preferred 2 hour block of seating time if you want to keep prompt and friendly service. The items we ordered were absolutely lovely. My special event was a hit!

    A few of the caviars I tried, I enjoyed the polish caviar the best.

    Apero is a hidden gem in DC!!! Tucked away in Georgetown, you could easily walk by it and never know. If you did walk by it I promise you that you would be missing out. First off, thank you Zina for an amazing experience. Zina was my server and she is the best of the best!! Some of the absolute best service I have ever had. I hope that when you visit she is working!! The food is top notch, everything was perfect. Not only is the food delicious but is presented perfectly. The highlight has to be their caviar selection. Let their servers help navigate their huge selection and then sit back and enjoy. The restaurant itself is an old row home that has been renovated beautifully. It's small but cozy and makes you feel warm and invited. Please go and enjoy, and if it's in the menu get the deviled eggs too!!!

    Bread pudding
    Ka L.

    I really like this place after stumbling in after a concert. Good service from host and bar tender. Sat the bar. Decor is relax but also a bit romantic. So, nice for a date. The bar stools are a bit worn though. I guess they are known for caviar and champagne but that was not our f&b though. Good wine selection. charcuterie board - that's just standard i would say but good for the wine bottle Radicchio salad - great salad that fits the bill although this may not blow your feet away Devils egg - beautiful and i guess you see many pics and it taste good Bread pudding - perfect finish and as good as the salad

    Martini Service

    Food and atmosphere were amazing! This little whole is the wall is the cutest and most romantic place. The tables out front are first come first serve. The place is small, so make sure to make a reservation!

We initially came for happy hour, but moved to the cocktail menu. The hh was a bit limited, but the drinks were priced overall pretty reasonably for the area. My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

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.

However, I did come once during an off-peak time, right in the middle of the week around 1:00 PM for lunch--and it wasn't to busy, so we were easily able to just sit right at the bar.  I would definitely recommend checking this place out! While the tight crowds can make it a bit tough on a busy week day or weekend night, it is completely worth experiencing at least once for the great drinks, good food, and unique atmosphere.
