    I'm expecting great things from Capitano and I'm excited to have more waterfront dining in my neighborhood! This new option is described as "Southern Italian, featuring fresh seafood, pasta, and cocktails." The atmosphere is described as "A "hidden gem" designed to feel like a seaside village with an outdoor terrace." Well, let me add my perspective. It was easy to find and parking is under the hotel in garage 1. The restaurant is comfortable and casual. The servers are very friendly and happy to describe dishes/respond to questions.

    The food was really good however the wait was long around 30 mins. They were little backed up but eventually we got our food. Becca was helpful who was our waiter and the space and vibe is beautiful.

    If you are trying to visit a place that will blow you away with their Italian food, this is not it. I would have expected to leave the place very satisfied after spending close to $200 on a dinner for two but the only thing I can say I enjoyed was my Naples Spritz. Lots of work to do when it comes to service, which was pretty slow and the food very disappointing, didn't event get to sit by the window for a view, perhaps that would have served as consolation for such a hefty bill. I hope that they offer happy hour because that's the only way I would be returning to this restaurant. I ordered the lump crab scampi and although the taste was fine, the pasta itself was very overcooked, definitely not the Italian "al dente." The ladyfingers in the tiramisu were quite dry, perhaps a little more coffee? The price does unfortunately not make this place worth it.

    Just saw a TikTok review that this place just opened. We tried to go to fish shop however we missed brunch. We walked into the canopy and went to the second floor to see Capitano. Immediately upon entering. We see the break taking views of the waterfront . We were sat immediately next to the window and were able to admire the views of the water. We order our drinks, the white Negroni and the Basilicata, which were amazing. I ordered the Atlantic salmon, and it was cooked to perfection! I loved the beans and zucchini mixture. My boyfriend enjoyed the Milanese, to the point he asked for seconds lol. The wait staff was so attentive to make sure our food was to our liking and definitely checked in on us for drinks. Would definitely recommend this place for lunch!

    Happy Hour

    I think my journey to find the perfect pregame spot before a Washington Spirit game is now…read morecomplete. Dacha is a semi-outdoor beer garden across from Nat's Park and a short walk from Audi Field, making it the perfect storm to collect a massive crowd before a game. We arrived shortly before happy hour ended, about two hours before a Friday night Spirit game and were able to get a table. Dacha did fill up quickly, but with plenty of seating and an open section with standing tables in the center, there was still room to move around. With the glass walls surrounding us, we felt like we were in a garden. The noise level, while high, was not as bad as Solace, and we were still actually able to hear each other. Our server did not check on us as time went by, but she did bring us waters as soon as we were seated, which really exceeds my expectations for a beer garden. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and were super tasty. Both the flagship lager and IPA were drinks I'd order again, and as a vinho verde admirer, I appreciated having that as an option on the HH menu. While the skinny burger is delicious, the real star of the HH menu is the fried pickles, homemade and flavorful and piping hot. I'm eager to go back for another pregame and try the HH cocktail, perhaps sampling something from the regular menu as well.

Loved the experience as much as the tasty pilsner and the skinny burger. By skinny they mean one patty instead of two. Shout-out for the fries. Perfect crispy exterior and soft center. You know what I mean. I'll definitely stop again because I walk past here almost every night.

HAPPY HOUR: Monday All Day and Tuesday-Friday 5PM to 6:30 PM The beverage program is clearly the centerpiece of the concept. The cocktail list is extensive including drinks like Pisco Sour, Old Fashioned, Martinis, Sazerac, Champs-Élysées, and Lion's Tail alongside house originals. All signature cocktails are priced uniformly and the menu also includes beer, cider, wine by the glass, spirit-free cocktails, and boilermakers, while offering accessible options for different preferences. Overall, the menu reads like a neighborhood cocktail bar with chef-driven bar food: playful, nostalgic American comfort dishes paired with a serious and historically influenced cocktail program. The bartenders provide top notch service and offer great recommendations. My water glass is always full and they check in often!

Trouble Bird was the answer to my prayers on a recent trip, where I was looking to have high quality drinks and a laid-back NON-commercial vibe with my team. We liked it so much, we came twice in one week, and I was impressed at their ability to handle and be comfortable for a large group in a space that can feel intimate. The lighting is nice and moody, the menu available via QR code, and the WiFi free and listed with password for patrons to use. We had excellent service both times, by the two folks working each night for a groups of 6-8 each time. There was something for everyone from the nondrinkers to the beer enthusiasts, to cocktail aficionados like myself. There's an amazing happy hour deal, with discounts on drinks all Monday and reduced prices for a couple of hours on other weekdays; it almost felt criminal how generous the happy hour was when I've gotten used to paying $20 for a mediocre cocktail at other nearby establishments. And the cocktails here are really very good, probably the best in the area, except for their immediate next door neighbor. The group favorite cocktail was the Midori sour which was incredibly well balanced and refreshing, and the surprising crowd pleaser was the Hamilton Dry Float, which came in a creepy tiki mug presentation that we really loved. We had a couple of the bar bites - the spiced peanuts were well loved across the group but my person favorite food item was the blistered shishitos, which came with a great chipotle aioli. The bathrooms are extremely clean and overall this was a bar favorite for the group for our week of going out and socializing together. Overall this is a gem of a neighborhood hangout with really excellent cocktails and service! Will absolutely come here next time I'm in town!

The place was at full capacity but it was still easy to order since they have QR menus coupled with digital ordering from your phone. Also easy to get around the restaurant despite it being at capacity. They keep a sports sized igloo filled with water for a serve yourself experience. Plenty of screens and even projected on a large wall so you don't miss the action from any seat. Full service and size bar, not to mention some great bar foods; their loaded taters are a hit but the plain taters were not good. Giant pretzel is a must order.

You order with a QR code at every table/space. You check out with each order rather than running up a tab and accidentally forgetting to close out then getting charged for not closing out. It bothers some people but I think it's fine and easy. I love their food selection almost as much as their drink and beer selection. My favorite go to bites are the chicken thighs, wings, and corn dog bites. They have a lot of other great things but I love these so much and all the dip choices, from regulars like ketchup, mustard and ranch, to a sweet and spicy dip, citrus ranch, and bbq. My go to beers are Party Cloudy and Lucy Juicy, always delicious! It's a really nice spot along the river and great atmosphere.

We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything. Again, fine spot if you just wanted to hang out and drink beer.
