    Caesar salad with baguette; 3 wine flight
    Rick S.

    Had a nice wine and dinner here the other night. I'd say it's more a casual hang spot than more trendy (at least the night I came). Pluses: select your own wines (half sizes possible) for a flight; they offer quarter pours of 5 different wines you could choose from a limited list. Helpful bartender with good suggestions Neutral: prices Minuses: food options seemed on the buttery/oily side, and not always things that would pair well with wine (e.g., broccoli), yet I didn't try pasta which is apparently a specialty; music/vibe was kind of strange. I probably wouldn't hurry back, but enjoyed the visit.

    Deviled eggs
    Rumesh V.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the Bloomingdale area in DC. Slightly biassed as I live in this neighborhood It's a nice fusion between Italian and American cuisine. Depending on our mood we order either a combination of deviled eggs, pizza with a cocktail of red wine / flight of rose with Italian options such as shrimp scampi and lamb meatballs. Portions are great. Perfect quantity and the rest is so good. I am a huge fan of their lamb meatballs. Service is very good. They keep it very classy. The restaurant a nice vibe of classy and rustic. Love the ambiance. On a nice summer or fall day, love their outdoor seating and seeing some of our neighbors walk by and even bring them in for an impromptu dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese and brussels sprout salad

    one of my favorite neighborhood spots! it's adorable inside, like semi-casual but also a nice spot for a date night, and has a huge patio with fans and such so, also very fun when the weather is nice! they have an excellent wine selection; you can do wine flights as well (you can customize one too). the cocktails, though, are honestly my favorite! they're all very cool and delicious. the food is wonderful; the pasta is my absolutely favvv ill get any kind they have! the grilled cheese and brussels sprout salad are also fantastic. the service is wonderful; everyone is very fun to talk with!

    The Burrata with the buttered baguette was amazing!

    My cousin and I dined at Etabli for what has become our traditional Christmas get-together for indoor wine tastings. I found them on Yelp when searching for a new restaurant that had both wine flights & various food options. Made a reservation for Saturday evening and luckily I was able to find parking on the same street as the restaurant. The host let us pick our seating since the restaurant was not full. We sat at a high-top table but they also have outside patio seating for warmer days. Etabli has a nice, intimate vibe and our waiter was the lovely Adam. He was so patient with my cousin who had many questions. I knew what I wanted for food and received his recommendation on which flight based off what I had the taste for that day- Rosè lol. There are about 7 flight options ranging from red, white, sparkling, a mix blend & rosè. For food, we started with the burrata appetizer to share. It was our 1st time having and it was so amazing! We then ordered our dinner which consisted of the Chicken Marbella for myself and my cousin ordered the Meatball Arrabbiata pasta. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left completely full. My cousin ordered another flight and a side of green beans before the kitchen closed. We were actually the last dine-in guests who closed down the restaurant lol. We ended up meeting the manager to tell him we had a great dining experience and can't wait to return for future date nights and day dates :) 5 stars for my last restaurant of 2021!

    Blue cheese stuffed date- yummy!
    Maria-Elena T.

    We ordered the dates stuffed with blue cheese and a piece a prosciutto on top. They were served warm and delicious. Five of us split it and there were enough. There was one left over and we fought over it! We also split the charcuterie plate. It was a small amount for 5 people. Three kinds of cheese, salami slices, dried apricot, dried figs cut in quarters, jam, balsamic drizzle. All ingredients were awesome. The bread served with it was ok. Mixed feelings by the group. I thought it was too oily but one person really liked it. We also split the Brussels, Tataki tuna, broccoli, and potatoes . Everyone loved both wood fired veggies but the fingerling potatoes stole the show. They were awesome. They were tasty. No leftovers! One person said she usually doesn't like broccoli but loved these. The Brussels were crispy and charred to perfection. Lastly we split the burrata with strawberries. Wow. Yummy. The marinated strawberries really added to the dish. Then we went onto share the Margherita pizza, crudi (meat) pizza, and potato and pesto pizza. All three were good. They were cut into 4 pieces and, since we were 5 people, we asked for a knife to cut them more. Two of the 3 knives were dull (my only complaint!) . By this time were almost full, and did not finish them. I am looking forward to the leftovers. My favorite was the Margherita. We had a lot of the pesto potato one left. But due to already having eating the potato side dish. Matt, our waiter was extremely attentive. He was always watching and got what we needed. He seemed so professional despite his young age. And always smiling! Kathleen the owner checked in on us. I didn't realize they had been open only one week! Place was cozy. Only about 7 regular tables. There were also some high top tables in the bar area. The lighting was flattering. The music jazzy and good background volume. Very comfortable place for a group to go. We were able to talk and laugh. If I lived nearby, this would be my neighborhood restaurant. Bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen in a restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I'll be back!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
    Bri H.

    Etabli was great! My friends and I started with the fig appetizer which was 3/5. It would definitely benefit from more toppings especially the sweet sauce that was on the bottom. The main courses were excellent. I ordered the lamb and sweet potatoes which came slathered in a delicious garlic aioli which was so so so good. I had to shoo my friends away from dipping their pizza crusts into it! My friends also enjoyed their pizza and shrimp pasta. I'll be back!

    Rack of lamb
    David M.

    This is a great cozy spot offering both indoor and outdoor seating. You can either sit in front of a big brick oven or enjoy the sights and sounds of DC. We were able to find a table right away with plenty of seating both inside and out on a weekday. I recommend getting a wine flight to try three different wines and it is reasonably priced. All of the wines I had were delicious and incredibly smooth. The food was also really delicious all of the flavors complimented everything together. I highly enjoyed the rack of lamb. Served with a yogurt sauce, potatoes, and veggies. The flavors made everything pop and some of the best lamb I have ever had. I also got the spinach artichoke dip and shrimp. Everything can be shared together and I do recommend that route. Service was great I didn't have to wait to long for food and they came around and checked on us multiple times. A great neighborhood spot to check out!

    Can you use that in a sentence? Flight
    Chenée T.

    Such a great neighborhood spot that I understand just opened in the area. Service was fast and our waitress had great recommendations for appetizers. We started off with the peach burrata and enjoyed two flights: Can you use that in a sentence? and the Pinot Noir, you're a star. Both were excellent! I really enjoyed the white flight as it had Spanish, Armenian, and Portuguese wine that were all delicious and flavors I hadn't tried before. We finished off our meal sharing the southwestern sour dough pizza. The sourdough crust was really fantastic, but the flavors on that pizza felt a little disjointed and it was also hard to eat because they weren't combined together well. The dough and the crust were really great though. I would love to try their other pizzas or their pasta the next time I visit.

    See all

One of my favorites pictured here is the squid ink pasta in a spicy sauce with blended shellfish. The bread crumbs on top, shellfish and pasta have the best texture combination. The red pepper perfectly compliments the dish. My other go- to is the gramigna- the white sauce with pepper and sausage is a very tasty dish. I truly appreciate their homemade pasta! For apps- can't go wrong with the burrata. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere chic casual.

Cucina morini was great all around- we came for the happy hour of $7 martinis but stayed for dinner as well. The martini lounge is small but with great people watching in a beautiful space. The bar seating was all very vibey - the aesthetic of this whole place is elegant and cozy without feeling too stuffy. The Morini martini and the dirty martini were definitely our favorites, though the espresso martini was solid too. Now for dinner - we knew this spot was known for its appetizers so we started with the yellow tail crudi (ricciola), the focaccia with the side burrata, and the broccolini. Each appetizer complemented each other so well - the crudo was fresh with bright flavors, the bread was airy and light and was great with the small burrata, and the broccolini was the star of the show - spicy, charred, and exquisite. I could have easily ordered just more apps but we wanted to try some pastas as well. I appreciate that they have both small and large portions of pasta. We tried the small gramigna and the larger portion of the cappelletti. I am usually a fan of red sauces but both white sauce based pastas were some of the best I ever had. Forget some of the other Italian spots in the area, this pasta was hands down amazing. Light, easy, understandable - the flavors were there without doing too much. Both portions were fantastic and a good amount for the $$. No dessert for us - I think the apps and pastas were quite enough. Service was great, we both had a glass of wine with dinner which was tasty, and the vibes were great. Will definitely be back!

Loved the moody vibe of the wine bar, it felt very cool, cozy and sophisticated. We sat in a booth under a red light so unfortunately my food picture turned out super red. Friends loved the selection of orange wine, and we ordered mcbetty truffle fries, shrimp scampi, honey whipped goat cheese, shishito peppers, and caesar salad for 4 people. Highlights were definitely the shrimp scampi with focaccia and fries, with the goat cheese on bread as a close third. A little pricy for the portions but honestly impressed with the variety of flavors and quality of the food. Service was ok, food came out a little slower than expected. I had really hoped to pick up some pastries (miss those baked joint cupcakes!) but seems like they don't sell them in evening. I'll have to come back for brunch/lunch to get some!

It's got plenty of character and feels like a great spot to hang out with friends or for a nightcap. When you walk in someone will help you find a seat and once you you're ready to order, you go up to the bar to order drinks or food. Although wine isn't my main thing, they do offer a small and limited selection of alcoholic options just no cocktails. Enough to do the job. I loved the music and the dim, chill, laid back decor really complimented the overall feel. It's definitely a spot I'd come back to especially to try out some of the food. Really dope spot.

The whole vibe is immaculate, with dark walls, dim lighting, and a great playlist, which all sets a very welcoming atmosphere. They have one of the best happy hours in town. M-F until 7, you can get incredible deals. You can get chicken or BLT sliders for $3.50 apiece, and reduced priced stuffed mushrooms, too. The $5 whipped feta comes with a big side of potato chips. These are small bites, but for very small prices. Food specials on a happy hour menu always get me excited. The chicken sliders were the consensus fave and will definitely be our go to. The drink deals are even better, though. I had a delicious old fashioned for just $7, and for round 2, the preparadas up is amazing. It is a bright red draft milk punch that is a little sweet, a little tart, with gin, lime, a touch of spice, and a sour candy garnish. Very fun, but very delicious, too. And it packs a punch. Plenty of other options are discounted, too. If you are reading this during the government shutdown, they have additional shutdown deals (available for everyone, all day), so it's almost like all day happy hour. Don't miss it!

I visited on a Friday around 6:30 PM and sat at the bar to catch the end of happy hour (Mon-Sun 5-7 PM). The bar was empty at the time, but a few other people showed up later. The dining room had a handful of tables occupied. In short, easy to get a seat. Drinks were good. I like the Somaek ($6) which is a small beer and a shot of soju. Beer ($7) was beer. We got some beef and pork mandu (dumplings) that were pretty good. 6 pieces for $10 on HH. We got two entrees, the Ddukbokgi ($28) and Yukgaejang ($29), which came with four banchan. Ddukbokgi is chewy rice cakes, gochujang, onion, and bulgogi. We thought it was only ok -- we've had better, including at Mandu in the past. Yukgaejang was a new dish for me. The menu described it as a "spicy beef stew, brisket, noodles, shiitake, bean sprouts, and egg." I expected the brisket to be sliced and recognizably brisket, but it was pulled -- it looked and tasted more like pulled pork. The dish also didn't have any noodles in it. I didn't like it. The banchan was seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchi, and cucumbers. It was okay. Service at the bar was fine.
