    Rooftop view
    Eunice I.

    I went last Sunday for Cinco de Mayo. It was pretty slow, and the music wasn't very lively. There were a bunch of staff present on the floor, but not much activity. We did have a free drink ticket which was cool, and their drink prices were pretty standard for DC. Their food menu is very limited, and more so apps. My friend and I I stayed for a little over an hour before we decided to leave and go elsewhere. It is very artistic inside and spacious. The rooftop views are also great, but not what I expected based on the hype I had heard about it.

    I have had the opportunity to visit Art DC during the art installation changes and always like the energy and atmosphere. I never have a problem getting to the bar area or being served by the staff (or being able to get a seat at the bar or other areas). The rooftop is stunning and expansive with plenty of seating. During events the acoustics aren't the best when someone is speaking on the microphone or presenting. I truly enjoy the space and rooftop views. The bar menu has small bites and there is a full restaurant on the lobby level of the hotel which is great (see my Yelp review about Arrels). Definitely a great spot for drinks and enjoying a beautiful DC view (and beautiful art from local artists). Paid street parking (I'm unsure if they have valet) $$

    Arlo Rooftop is a stunning venue is downtown DC. I came for a 30 and up function and was amazed at how large the space is. The bar it encompassed a large portion of the space. The views on the balcony were stunning, especially at night. I had an Old Fashioned and it was very well made. The bartenders did a wonderful job getting everyone's orders taken and drinks served.

    Visited for restaurant week and it was good but could've been better! For a wagyu themed menu it somehow got redundant, so we got a little bored of the menu by the end. There was no excitement to it because it was wagyu after wagyu. It was pre-made so there wasn't much flexibility to it but they did manage to accommodate my friends dietary restrictions so that was really great. My favourite was probably the miso salmon and Wagyu somen and the worst was the ' Wagyu ice cream'. The texture was really off putting, icy and tasted like - Wagyu. I also didn't like the oyster there was no brine in mine so it was just the meat and toppings in the shell. Would love to return to the rooftop though, it was dim lit and beautifully decorated. Perfect for a date and drinks were well priced !

    Came for Valentine by myself and let me tell you, the food was to die for. I was serviced by Mike, and he was wonderful! i am so full right now. AND he got me to try desserts too, lorddd it was amazing IM ABOUT TO PASS OUT. They also have a Dj, great vibe and the view is amazing from the roof top. It cold at the moment but summer time with the sunset, great date night idea. your welcome

    I came here on a quiet Monday night when it was 50 degrees in the winter. The restaurant was empty, I was greeted immediately, and escorted to my table. It was quiet and the waitress was very attentive. (I believe the name was Toya). They made me a mocktail and I had the seared salmon onigiri. I ended my night outside on the roof overlooking the quiet city and it was so peaceful. Overall, I love the location and the vibes. Parking was no problem. I was able to secure metered parking right in front of the hotel with no concerns about break ins (but that's probably because it's located near the FBI building). I've stayed at the Arlo hotel in Miami and now had a chance to preview this one and I would totally recommend guests to stay here. They also have (an extremely tiny) pool on the roof as well. Not too sure how that flow will work with restaurant attendees in the summer but I will totally come back here soon for a nice catch up.

    Chadol Korean BBQ was such a fun pick for our monthly dinner series! My friends and I had a great…read moretime and honestly left fullllll. For $45 per person, the all-you-can-eat experience feels like a really solid deal considering how many protein options and side dishes you get. They start you off with a variety of banchan (side dishes), including a salad with this super tasty dressing that had the perfect little spicy kick. For the BBQ, we kicked things off with the spicy bulgogi and butter garlic shrimp, while the others tried the pork belly (I don't eat pork). Later we ordered the steak, spicy brisket, and grilled squid, which were all delicious. The spicy brisket especially was a standout for me. The guys also ordered two rounds of fried dumplings that looked amazing, but since they contain pork, I had to sit those out. I'd love to see Chadol add a veggie dumpling option to the menu! As for the sides, the kimchi and cold glass noodles were both hits at our table, and of course we all added white rice. The "mashed potatoes" though? Definitely more like potato salad and unfortunately very bland. On the other hand, the cheese corn costs extra but is 1000% worth adding. For drinks, the guys enjoyed the Woody Old Fashioned while I had a mezcal margarita-style cocktail that was smoky and refreshing. We also ordered one of the chicken options but never received it and eventually just gave up on it. One of the coolest parts of the experience is the ordering system. Most meats are ordered directly from a machine at your table, and the food comes out quickly on this conveyor belt-style setup which was honestly so fun. Drinks and side dishes are ordered through the servers. The atmosphere was lively and energetic without feeling overwhelming. The restaurant is actually much larger inside than I expected, with a modern setup that works well for smaller groups. That said, I didn't really notice tables for larger parties, so I'm not sure how they accommodate groups bigger than 6 people. Service started off a little rough because our server wasn't very attentive, but after I called it out, he definitely stepped it up and things improved. Overall, Chadol was a really good experience and absolutely worth the price. The 1.5-hour seating limit makes sense too, both to keep things moving and give others a chance to enjoy the experience. I'd definitely go back!

    I ate here around a year ago and reviewed them on google.

The food at this location was great. The red snapper with the rice and tomatoes was very flavorful. The red snapper could have been cooked a little harder. However, other than that it was great. My friend order the same dish except with salmon. She enjoyed the dish as well but also mentioned that the fish could be cooked harder. We sat at the bar so we didn't get service from the waiter. However, the service from the bartender as great. He was very knowledgeable on the drinks and the food. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the drinks. But I ordered a smoked margarita which had a great taste. The ambiance was wonderful. It was very aesthetically please. From the flowers on the ceiling to the rooftop overlooking the Capitol it was great. The roof top provided a chill vibe with low music. It could be a great place for a date night or just a place to go to meet up with friends. I 100% recommend.

The views alone make you want to stay all night, especially as the sun starts to set over the city. We also got to enjoy live music from the band, which made the atmosphere feel even more fun and elevated. It was the perfect mix of great energy, good music, and a beautiful rooftop setting. For drinks, we tried the Blushing Orchard Martini, Capitol Blossom Fizz, and the Lavender Ginger Bloom -- all refreshing and well-crafted. For food, we ordered the East Coast Oysters on the Half Shell, Beef Sliders, and Mediterranean Tacos. Everything came out fresh and flavorful.

I think they take reservations but we were able to grab a bar spot. Are drinks pricey? What do you think? It's a cocktail bar in DC. The drinks we tried were pretty tasty, even the mezcal one which I thought was a refreshing take. The wall shows some of the drinks on the menu and the ingredients/glass it comes in which I thought was a nice touch. Bartenders were friendly but not too chatty as they were super busy but you never waited long for a drink. The bourbon drink with the whipped honey was our favorite but the gin drink that was pink was also fantastic. For food I did try the buffalo chicken dip, pretty large and tasty (not too spicy) and loved the super crisp celery and the fritos. Clean, trendy bathrooms, nice vibes throughout the whole spot for pictures, great for a night cap or pre-dinner drink.

They don't take revelations and the place fills up fast. It's a very cute spot and feels so comfortable and fun. Our bartender was Gaylan and he was great--had great reccs, laughed with us a bit, all around great guy. The 'let me just say this' was so soo good! It tasted like a rainbow--just bright and with a really delicious after taste. I should have stopped at the rose but after my trying my friend's, i had to have one! 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.

I know reservations are probably highly recommended, but we were fortunate to walk in at just the right moment and snag a seat. The seating is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is just my style, an elegant, dark, grown and sexy vibe that really sets the mood. The decor is striking, with thoughtful touches that create an inviting space to unwind. While it leans a bit on the pricier side, the exceptional service more than justifies the cost. Jordan and the team were incredibly knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu, offering suggestions that perfectly matched our tastes. 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.

Ambiance: from the outside you'd have no idea that a hidden treasure awaits you up a flight of stairs. The decor was very mysterious, perfectly dimmed, and sexy. They added greenery near the hostess station to create what I would describe as an exotic/jungle vibe. This area also contained a beautiful small bar and a few cozy seatings. Next, the hostess led us to a table inside where the magic of candles, cozy tables, and intimate booths immediately meets your eyes. Did I mention that we sat in most comfy green velvet chairs in our cozy booth? How sexy! Service: our waiter, Jordan, was the best! He provided great service and recommendations. However, shoutout to the rest of the staff because it was truly all hands on deck. Drinks: the bartender is indeed a mixologist! There is no question of the magic he created in a glass. Her drink- I ordered the Attractive Nuisance, an elevated spritz. The drink was perfectly balanced with flavors to include G.H. Mumm Champagne, Avua Prata Cachaca, Cocchi Americano, Saffron, Vanilla. I literally tasted all the flavors in the drink and the liquor ratio was just right. Of course I went with another round, you simply have to try it understand why I did. His drink: El Tiburón-Let's just say that he said that this is now one of his favorite cocktails because it was smooth! Small bites: the kitchen was out of mussels and their famous donuts so we decided to try the Franks en Crute, the sexy adult version of pigs in a blanket lol. Such a delicious treat, well balanced flavors giving both sweet (flaky puff pastry) and savory (well grilled wagyu beef). Definitely recommend. The music was perfect for the evening! The bar was filled with all matured folks enjoying their group meets or dates, the atmosphere welcomed all. As I stated earlier, this has now become a regular on the list and I'm excited to visit again.
