The frustrated owner thought it was necessary to contact his friends to give him the well deserved 5 stars and harass me with messages, which will be reported. Yelp is about to give honest feedback.

Dito's Bar is the Cheers equivalent of Boston, MA. I honestly believe that there is one patron who Dito does not know by name. Speaking of Dito, he has knowledge and intellect that far surpasses your ordinary bar keep. He will steer you in the right direction from your choice of entree to the perfect wine compliment. He treats every patron with sarcastic love and entertainment. The recap of daily events keeps me going back for more on a weekly basis. Dito is like a phoenix. When fire is cast upon him, he rises again with even a bigger devilish grin on his face. It's more than just a bar. It's theatre. It's comedic theatre. Bravo Dito! Bravo! Your service is stellar!

I simply love Dito's. I've been enjoying Dito's for years, but lately Dito's/Floriana has really blossomed. The atmosphere is perfectly cozy and welcoming. I feel so comfortable I consider it a little home away from home. Dito is a gem. He singlehandedly makes this place special, from his personality to his impeccable service. He remembers all the wines I've tried there and knows exactly what to recommend. The wine list curated by Dito has a great selection at various price points. Thanks to the return of Chef Danny, the kitchen has hit a high again. The lamb gnocchi and chocolate mouse are transcendent.

We loved the ambiance of Ditos. They are below the Italian restaurant Florina and the lasagna is to die for. Can't wait to go back!

When we walked in around 6:45p it was empty. But around 7-7:40pm it started filling up. It's been a…read morelong time since I was back at a true cocktail bar. Cocktails have become trendy and mostly a lazy combination of a spirit, simple syrup and a fancy-sounding ingredient. Not here. Each combination is crafted and tastes delicious. One sign of a good cocktail to me is that it has balanced flavors that somehow combine well together to create complexity that works. It did here. Our bartender was knowledgeable and guided me well after I shared my preferred spirit and flavor profile. The martini I had was off-menu and well prepared. Nostalgia for days of yore when only a handful of places in NYC were known for "cocktails" - not every happy hour menu in town. We did get the happy hour pricing ($12/drink) and yes, 20% gratuity was included. The service was stellar so I would've done that anyways and had no problem with it being mandatory. I will add - someone complained about the incense smells and when I first walked in, it did smell odd. Over time, I saw our bartender switch it out and the second fragrance was more inviting.

Very cool speakeasy type bar with skilled bartenders. They do fun themes such as house of the…read moredragon with smoke bubbles on the drinks. Good place for a one and done drink because they are very expensive... but it is DC so it's expected.

I've been hearing about this place for a while now, so our daughter made reservations for our visit…read moreand we were not disappointed! We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was new and very helpful. The space is tight in there so walking back to our table was a bit of a challenge trying not to hit someone while they were taking a drink, but the energy is high and lively! We ordered cocktails to start, and there were so many interesting choices that it was a difficult choice. We all thought we got the best one! Every dish was fresh, flavorful and fire! The scallion lamb was tender and savory. The crab fried rice was total comfort food and I could eat this every day! All those flavors! The dish that stole the show; however, was the eggplant! Wow! What a wonderful surprise. Hot, fresh and full of flavor, the eggplant was perfectly cooked and we couldn't stop talking about it long after we left!

First time visiting this place after saving it on my list for a while now. Well, let's just say…read morethat it's worth the hype! Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular! Safe to say that we enjoyed both dishes and cannot wait to return and reserve indoor tables lol

The vibes were pretty fun, so I ended up drinking at the bar. Their $10 martini happy hour is insane! I got a pornstar martini and a truffle popcorn. OMG. Best pornstar martini I have had in my life, plus really cure glassware. The truffle popcorn was unbelievable and had fresh parmesan on it. YUM. I also tried the femme fatale and it was acidic and fruity and fantastic. I ended up also getting an espresso martini another night and it was iconic. Jay was my waiter and he is one of the best bartenders on this earth. He made drinks quickly, made sure everyone was having fun, and kept the vibes wonderful. He was absolutely amazing and was a big part of the reason I came back a second night in a row. His positivity and expert cocktail making skills make him the IDEAL bartender. This is a MUST SEE in DC! So fun!

Jane Jane offers the perfect intro to DC, but if it's your first time, know that they do not take…read morereservations. That means, come early to avoid the crowd. For context, my last visit to DC in my teens, I was looking to view DC, in a new light, as an adult. Entering Jane Jane somehow felt like home. The intimate, inclusive, dimly lit bar, decorated to feel both modern and vintage reminded me of my favorite spot in Houston, Nobies. While Nobies offers great food, Jane Jane kills it with their cocktails...and the complimentary bowl of cheese its...perfect bar food I guess? Their legend's menu is just that. Although I came in anticipating ordering one drink, that one turned into two after trying the "A La Playa". I'm not sure I'd sip it on the beach, but the sweet, slightly Smokey, fruity concoctions now lives on my list of favorites drinks. It has the perfect balance of flavors. While a $17 cocktail is not an everyday outing (for me atleast), their drinks are strong, and legends worth trying. The shenanigans on 14th are just a welcome bonus.

I came here with the sole purpose of getting a frozen pina colada because I'd seen it on tiktok…read more It's hard to get in here as they are always full. There was a folded standing menu on the bar and the first item there said the frozen pina colada was a special for the month so I was happy they still had it. What I got wasn't frozen and tasted awful, then I noticed another person at the bar with a frozen drink and looked up the picture on tiktok and saw that my drink was indeed in the wrong cup. So I asked the bartender (maybe I forgot to say frozen) if this was a regular pina colada and he said "no you ordered drink name xyz" with mezcal (which is why it tasted bad to me) I said no I didn't, I ordered the pina colada and he proceeded to argue with me with an attitude. I'm like dude the music is so loud in here, just admit you didn't hear me. I know what I ordered. I can't make up a drink name for something I don't know exists because I never looked at the flat menus he handed me. I had to take one star off because that just killed the vibe.
