    Burger and fries
    Sylvea H.

    We stopped into Bar Angie on a Sunday afternoon and snagged a table on the patio -- the perfect call for a nice day. Peek inside and the décor is genuinely stunning; this place clearly has a strong design vision. The food largely impressed. The spicy rigatoni was delicious....rich, satisfying, and well-spiced. We also started with the lobster escargot appetizer, which was delicious--lobster, butter, puff pastry, and all... though I'll be honest, I kept waiting for the escargot to show up. The dish is named after the style/preparation style. But I think if it's in the name, it should be on the plate. On the drinks side, I appreciated that they had an N/A beer option -- that's always a welcome sight. The mocktail list, though, left me wanting more. I'd love to see some herb-forward, aromatic options that feel as considered as the food menu. There's real opportunity there. The waiter was warm and friendly, but they looked like they were managing far too many tables (maybe even inside and outside). Overall, Bar Angie is solid. The bones are great, the patio is lovely, and the kitchen can cook.

    Bar Angie may be be on a quiet street in West End but it sure is lively and fun. My friend and I went on a Saturday night and while there was no live music there was a big crowd and it was very loud. I could barely hear my friend or the waiter. The service was good but distanced though I didn't feel like we were being ignored. I had a dirty martini and my friend had a glass of white wine. We shared the lobster escargot and the grilled corn salad to start. The lobster escargot was delicious and dipping the bread into the butter was the best part. I liked that they split the salad for us and it was fresh, crunch and crisp. The choice of water garnish was also a nice touch (I'm boring and choose a lemon) as was the whipped butter. My friend wanted the swordfish milanese but they were out of swordfish so she went with the chicken. It was a huge piece of chicken and she enjoyed it. I had the wagyu french dip and it was so tender. The horseradish and the au jus were the perfect compliments. We were so full that we didn't get dessert but I would love to go back to try some other items on the menu and get a sweet treat.

    My family who has visited me in DC many times over the years rated this their best meal here ever. That's about the highest compliment you can get. Honestly, I almost hesitated to post this because it's already tough to get a reservation...but it absolutely deserves the hype. The space is large and versatile: a big outdoor patio (weather permitting), a lively bar area with TVs, and a main dining room. That said, they really pack people into the dining area - it's dark, moody, and can get very loud. Something to keep in mind if you're with a group or bringing older family members. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. Several of the hosts at the front seemed like it was their high school weekend gig where they received no training, were disorganized, and not particularly welcoming...no greeting, no smile, and seemed overwhelmed. On the flip side, the waitstaff was fantastic despite how busy it was, and the bus team kept everything moving and tables spotless. The menu isn't groundbreaking. It leans heavily into that French bistro/NYC brasserie vibe (think Le Diplomate or Pastis), but the execution is excellent, with some fun, elevated touches (caviar options, seafood towers, lobster escargot, ...). As for the food: sooo good. We started with the crab rangoons and French onion soup...both standouts. For mains, the French dip was massive and perfectly done (the horseradish was very mild, which I actually preferred), and the spicy rigatoni was the kind of dish you don't want to stop eating and lick the plate when you're done. Even the lobster salad impressed. Truly not a miss across the board. We wrapped up with espresso martinis and crème brûlée: an ideal ending to a great meal. I'd absolutely come back to explore more of the dinner menu (and even brunch). One last note: the area is still pretty quiet, which makes parking easy, but also means there's not much to do before or after. If you have nearby recs, I'm all ears.

    Our first time here and I/we absolutely loved this restaurant in DC. Food was delicious-Fresh ingredients and very enjoyable. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and pleasant. We had an array of food: Corn salad ( I think it was called) was absolutely divine with a light lemon vinaigrette dressing. Caesar slides, and Chx Pillard. Everything was fabulous and I would come again when visiting again.

    I really wanted to love this place! Bar Angie is an adorable little restaurant tucked away in West End. Upon entry, it has a mix of modern American and vintage French decor, which was eye catching and inviting. We ordered the espresso martinis, which were DELICIOUS, and the lobster escargot as a starter, which was easily the star of the meal. Unfortunately, both of our steaks were deeply overcooked, the crab rangoons were just fine, and the prime rib sandwich was good, but for the price point, I was hoping for an abundance of flavor that I was not getting. The $15 side of fries also tasted a bit old? But the wait staff was lovely, and the vibes were really warm! Bar Angie is definitely good, but for the hype and the cost, I was expecting greatness.

    Bar Angie is a bistro style restaurant with stylish decor, amazing staff and great menu options. They have HH M-F with food and drink specials. I had the lobster pasta and happy meal burger and both were really good. The staff was very attentive and helpful with menu selections. It's great for any occasion from a date night to a group dinner.

    Service needs to be improved. It took a while to even just get water. The food tasted ok but was not good enough to justify the high price. I will say the fries were very tasty.

    Halibut.  It was dry and flavorless.
    Danielle A.

    Bar Angie is a beautiful restaurant. It's stylish, lively, and a great atmosphere the moment you walk in. I grabbed a seat at the bar, which was busy but had a great vibe. I met Dave, one of the bartenders, who was extremely friendly. We started chatting and he even offered to make me a cocktail he had just created that day that wasn't on the menu. It's always fun when bartenders share something new, and it was a great way to kick off the evening. To start, I ordered the lobster escargot. Despite the name, there's actually no escargot in the dish (which I personally appreciated). It was buttery, rich, and served with a small loaf of bread that was perfect for soaking up the sauce. Definitely a solid appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the halibut with crab fried rice. Unfortunately, this is where things fell short. I couldn't find any crab in the fried rice, and the halibut itself was dry and lacked flavor. The restaurant was busy, and food service was noticeably slow. two bartenders eventually went down to one, so closing out took quite a while as the remaining bartender was clearly stretched thin. Overall, I still had a good experience thanks to the atmosphere, drinks, and the appetizer. I'd come back again, but probably just for cocktails and small bites. The entrée was a bit mid.

    Bar Angie was such a cute adult playground. We went for happy hour and split a bunch of appetizers and small plates which was the perfect way to dine there. The martinis were balanced nicely and they had so many varieties so there's bound to be something for anyone. The wagyu in a blanket was a cute play on a classic but my favorite thing was the adult happy meal which came with a martini, cheeseburger, fries, and ring pop!

    Salads
    Isabel W.

    On the pricier side, but the quality and service match the cost. The salads are all great, especially the summer corn salad with feta, the Caesar with cheese croutons, and the shrimp salad, which is very generous. The salmon Benedict is a solid pick for brunch. Attentive servers and always busy, which says a lot.

    Ambience
    Haley T.

    Service was so kind! Our server was Kayla T and she made sure to always check up on us to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was clear and communicative even when it was getting busy--one of the best servers I've had in a while! We set a reservation the night before and it was smoothly done. We both got the Angie burger and it was so juicy and flavorful. Definitely top 5 burgers all time on my list. Fries were done perfectly (I'm kind of a fry connoisseur btw ). Plus side they gave a whole dang pickle. Wagyu in a blanket to share. They had a bunch of sauces with it and my fav was honey mustard. The ambience was great for brunch and would love to come for a bar setting at night soon. Parking was easy, street parking is free on the weekends.

    Lobster Pasta
    Rolonda D.

    Thanks for your patience! With spring coming soon I have so many recommendations to post! We're going to start off with Bar Angie, a trendy bistro with French/American style food. First off the service was excellent, our server constantly checked in on us, our glasses were constantly refilled with fruit slices and water, and my leftovers were boxed up for me. I didn't try any of the appetizers during my visit but based on the tables around me it seemed like the French onion soup was pretty popular. For my meal I got the Monday special the lobster pasta. It's served nestled between the head and the lobster tail which I thought was a cleaver presentation. The pasta was very fresh and the red sauce has a nice sweetness that complimented the lobster meat. My only complaint is that I wish it would have had a hint more salt but it was overall a good dish and a good sized portion. For dessert I had the profiteroles which had a rich chocolate sauce that paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream and the puffed dough. The restaurant was not terribly busy when I went but it could be noisy at times. Overall I had a good experience at Bar Angie and would return for Martini Hour and dinner again.

    Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

The back room was…read more"reserved", but we were told to sit back there, given the size of our group and we sat nowhere near the party that was in there. The bartender in that area was friendly, but unhelpful, directing us to use the front room's bartender, even though she wasn't busy when we approached and asked for a couple of drinks. The bartender in the main room was great, he was very friendly and once he started a tab for me he said I could use the other bar too, I guess he wasn't aware the bartender at that other bar already told me she wouldn't help me. Regardless, the drinks we had were decent. For small bites, they only had gold fish crackers, I wish they would have had more to nosh on while drinking. Overall, not a bad visit.

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.

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.

It's a sexy basement vinyl den with additional outdoor seating, 10/10 unique cocktails, and incredible Japanese inspired small plates. Between two visits, we have tried 6 different drinks. They are named after songs and listed on the back of a fake vinyl cover. Each costs around $20, but with the mandatory tip and tax, it comes to around $26-28 per drink. The since I left you, though, is worth every penny. It is similar to an old fashioned but a little sweeter, with bourbon (makers mark), and while the menu says it also has miso, blackberry, cardamom, and cacao, I wouldn't say those flavors come through. But it is one of the best cocktails being served in DC right now. It is so good. They serve it with a cardamom tuile that is delicious as well. There is a lot of variety on here, but my number 2 is the Roses, a bright red gin based drink with a hint of fruitiness and a spicy kick in the back end. If you want something a little sweeter, the Takeover is a cognac based drink with coffee notes served with a mini donut. The food is exceptionally well seasoned and so flavorful. The fried chicken cannot be missed, and I love that you can get it in half or full size portions. The shrimp tempura might be even better. You get four large pieces that are super crisp and have a little orange sauce on them. Amazing. Our second visit we tried their chips and dip, and these potato chips alone are worth a visit. Large, crunchy, and served with a tasty ranch dip. I think 2 dishes is good for two people to fill you up, but add a third if hungry. The place is quite expensive, but they are worth it. For a date night, they are a great choice. Four drinks and three dishes shared between two people came to around $195, but as of this review, they are offering a $30 off deal if you pay through the app In Kind. Bonus points because the first time we came, they seated us maybe 5 minutes after our reservation time, and they gave us a free glass of cava. Top notch customer service right there

The egg rolls felt like remixed in n out, and as a Californian, I was grateful. Why not 5 stars? With the premium pricetag, I do expect premium service. The bartender was more interested in chatting with some folks he knew who came to sit at the bar. He also spent a lot of time chatting up the couple next to us, so do sit at the bar if you're feeling social. However, for the spare attention he did provide us, he was a bit condescending when we asked for a different glass for a drink that came in a bowl. It was slow until the very end of our stay and yet there were several times where I had an empty glass for a long period (and wanted to order more) or needed water. FYI for 6 drinks and a few bar bites it was $165... we went for a cheap burger dinner afterwards!
