    Mixed Grill
    Christine W.

    Came here with friends and the food was delicious! The medium well steak I got was tender and went well with the roasted cauliflower flatbread that my boyfriend got. Vegetables were seasoned and roasted well--I loved the crunchy potato peels and the warmth underneath. I also ordered a lemonade mocktail that was pretty tart and delicious as well. Our server was pretty welcoming, and he got all our orders right without even writing anything down. The ambiance is more upscale for sure. Seemed like a popular dining spot in DC!

    Stopped in for dinner prior to a show at Songbird in Union Market. Just around the corner from the NoMa metro station, it was easy to find. The menu is huge and varied and everything that we ordered was fresh and delicious. Not pictured was my favorite Pork and brisket meatball flatbread, which I ate before I taking a pic. Will definitely be back.

    We don't mind it here, but it's a bit pricey for what you're getting. We've enjoyed their flatbreads and gyro, and do really love their beet dip. The outdoor seating and drinks are really lovely though!

    CR Noma has the best, fluffiest pitas and truly amazing hummus. The restaurant is so unassuming from the outside. It is a little Noma hidden gem. We have been three times, and the food is always fresh and delicious. The service is good. Sometimes we come in and just sit at the bar and enjoy.

    It could be a 4 but the flies and mosquitoes were out of control. I got eaten alive inside and flies kept landing on our plates. Service was ok. Food was good. But the lack of bug mitigation killed it for me. Wouldn't go back (except maybe for that kids pizza... that was fire- should be on the app menu!!).

    Stopped off at CR NoMa for a team happy hour and had a good time. The place has a nice vibe to it and the staff was really friendly. We ordered plenty of appetizers and liked them all. I really enjoyed the various dips and flatbreads. They have a full bar and made very good Old Fashioned's that were to my liking. I hope we come back again for another team celebration.

    Lovely atmosphere and tasty food! Nice selection for brunch! Really enjoyed my wrap, it's huge. Ps. The French fries are delish! We had nice service for a Saturday brunch! Would love to come back to try more and have a cocktail!

    CR Noma was conveniently located around the corner from my hotel, on a night I didn't feel like venturing out very far. As luck would have it, Happy Hour was in full swing. The place has such a cool vibe; it screams "bring your friends, your family, perhaps a stranger, and stay awhile". The tile and lighting are beautiful. There's a mix of tables to chose from - benches, booths, the bar. Something for everyone. I honestly wasn't expecting to have my socks knocked off by an eight dollar old fashioned, but I pleasantly surprised. It had all the essential elements of a good whiskey base, a Luxardo cherry, the perfect orange twist, balanced bitters, and a block ice cube. It was so good that I had more than one on both of my visits over my week in DC. Something to look forward to on my next visit to DC!

    Stopped by CR NoMa for a nice solo dinner and it totally hit the spot. The food was good, fresh, and came out quickly, perfect for a low-key evening. Its great neighborhood spot will definitely be back!

    Flatbread - Tomato Mozzarella
    Sabrina M.

    Service - fast to get seated, takes some time to receive food but nothing crazy. Great people serving you! They go above and beyond to answer your questions and offer recommendations. Food - YOU WONT REGRET!! So delicious, everything we ate was good, the hummus was authentic and delicious. You had a few chic peas on top and it gave it a nice crunch and spice. The pita was fresh we hd to order more to eat all the hummus. We ended up having aome left over. We ordered 2 mozzarella pizza's because 1 couldn't fill up 4 people. It was so damn good we didn't want to stop. We even dipped our pizza in hummus.. so good lol. Drinks - we had a Passionfruit mule and this was strong and good. Ambiance - inside was so unique the decor there was pleasant to look at. Great apace and was spread out. Location - close to a metro, easy to navigate.

    Pastrami Hash & Eggs
    Brian S.

    This place is awesome! My kids picked it for Father's Day breakfast and there was plenty of seating for our 8-person group, and a stroller. Mostly high top seating and bar seating but there were tables and booths too. The service was so friendly, it felt like family, which helped because theres always that one person who isn't going to be satisfied with their order. They remade the french toast without raspberry sauce on request, but I thought it complemented the syrup and toast perfectly. My favorite had to be the coffee though, which comes with cream or oat milk.

    Classic Cigars & Fries

    Again, I can't get enough of this place. I tried the dips trio and they were amazing! It came with warm pita that was so flavorful and tasty. The service is always great! Bar seating is nice and the servers are pretty quick.

    Hummus
    Emily S.

    The absolute best hummus I have ever had. The portion was very large the only down side is it only came with one pita (which was delicious and hot all the way through). You do have the option to order a side pita. Cool space with open windows and a nice bar area. Definitely recommend!

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.

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.

The drinks tasted watered down and unbalanced. The banana flavor in mine was dull and overripe rather than fresh and vibrant. The smoke and fire presentation was nice, but the actual cocktails did not justify the $25 price point. The restroom was unacceptable. There was urine on the floor, a strong foul odor, and the surface was slippery. For a speakeasy positioning itself as upscale, this was a major miss. The space is very small and service was just okay. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution did not meet expectations. I will not be returning.

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.

The Spanish cheese (Mahón) along with the crackers and mustard sauce was superb. All the meats had their own characteristics and unique flavors but the jamón stood out to us the most. It even went well with the sauce that came for our cauliflower dish. It was fun piecing the components together to make unique tasty bites. I would come back just for the charcuterie alone. The drinks we got were Angelli's Ferrari along with the espresso martini-ish. My favorite was definitely the Ferrari one, but the espresso martini was super mild and had a slight coffee flavor. Good for people who like very light coffee. The Ferrari one was very bright and had lots of fruity notes to hide the alcohol. For entrées, we had the shakshouka, crispy, cauliflower, and brunch pork belly. Out of all these the cauliflower was definitely my favorite; super light with good earthy flavors and nuttiness and acidity from the lemon. The brunch pork belly was good too. The meat was perfectly cooked, but I found the beans to be a little bit overwhelming. I'm not a fan of baked beans personally so that might've been my fault for picking the dish, but I still did enjoy it and the pork that was well cooked made up for it; definitely for someone who likes beans. Shakshouka was very hearty with a lot of tomatoes and red vegetables in general. If you like lasagna or any sort of tomato spaghetti dish, you will like this one. I found this to be a bit much though. I was slightly tired of the flavor at the end. Just be aware it is a bit spicy. We had a pear tart for dessert. Honestly, it reminded me of an apple pie and it was good, but I think that some of the other desserts would've been a bit better. Had a lot of sweet cinnamon notes along some crispy flaky dough from the outside. It was an interesting take but it was still good. The atmosphere is great here; we had seating on the second floor, so it was different from the busy first floor. Very relaxed and there's a lot of natural light coming around which made everything feel very welcoming. Our server was also super friendly. I will definitely be back at this place
