    Risotto with mushrooms, and sun choke chips
    Becca H.

    We went here on a date night during DC restaurant week. The staff was incredible, especially our bartender. We sat at the bar for a drink before we sat for dinner. She went out of her way to make our special occasion even more special. The food was really good. We probably didn't need to order the brussels sprouts on top of the prefix menu, but we were worried the portions wouldn't be enough. We were so wrong! The portion sizes were excellent. We ended up taking some food home. My complaint is how close together all of the tables are. We heard the entire conversation conversation other people next to us and it was not a topic we cared to hear about, but we didn't really have a choice due to how close the tables were. Definitely suggest going during happy hour they have a number of classic cocktails, a few glasses of wine for $10. The draft beer is also five dollars happy hour.

    The service here was absolutely fantastic. Our food and drinks were also delicious. Every course from the wagyu tartare to the key lime cremeux was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Portions are fair as well, great all around food experience, but the staff here really make Fitzgerald's stand out. This space has great, intimate ambiance and would be perfect for a date night. The bar by the entrance is gorgeous and the drinks are well-made, not too sweet and well-crafted.

    I just had an AMAZING experience at Fitzgerald's. We went for Restaurant Week because the menu really caught my eye. Did not disappoint!! Our waitress was so personable, checked on us the right amount, and the courses were timed perfectly. We are doing dry January but the cocktails around us looked amazing. A run down: Complimentary bread and butter: this is where I knew we were in for a good time. The bread was warm, soft, and salty and the butter was the right temp. I am a sucker for a good bread and butter sitch, so this was a great start Tuna crudo: probably my favorite of the night. So fresh, bursting with flavor, a mix of textures. Beautifully done. Waygu beef tartare: I loved the flavor on this and it was also really fresh. The chips that came with it added a salty crunch, but they weren't super sturdy. My fiancé thought the tartare could have had more flavor, but I really enjoyed it. Branzino bouillabaisse: I'm allergic but my fiancé said the branzino was cooked so perfectly. The tiger prawn was huge, and he said the flavors were really great. Waygu short rib: melted in my mouth!!! Really flavorful and perfectly cooked. The accompaniments really added something too. Pomme rösti: the crunch with the harissa aioli was chef's kiss. My only wish is that each piece was smaller so they'd be crispier but to each their own! Warm fudge brownie: nothing to really write home about but very solid! Key lime crémeux: SO crisp and fresh!!! A really great way to end the meal The atmosphere was sooo cozy and the decor was classy while still being simple. Every table was taken, but it wasn't too loud. A wide array of ages. Will definitely come back! A perfect restaurant week choice!

    I like the vibes here. I feel like this is where rich grandpas talk about golf and drink whiskey on a Sunday afternoon. That being said I am neither a rich grandpa nor do I drink whiskey. Anyways, we got the truffle fries, beef tartare, chicken wings, and chocolate donut for dessert. Loved every dish and it's details.

    After dining at 1789 Restaurant, my wife and I sat at Fitzgerald's bar and ordered the blood orange margarita and their take on a negroni. The bartender was personable and very knowledgeable. It made for the perfect end of our date night!

    Duck burger
    Rebecca H.

    Overall I liked the atmosphere of this restaurant but the food and cocktails didn't particularly stand out to me even though everything was decent. I enjoyed the brown butter old fashioned and the duck burger. The calamari and steak tartare were ok. I would come here mostly for the vibe.

    As soon as I stepped through the doors, I was greeted and promptly seated. First impression of the inside was that it's elegant but also cozy. Ordered the fries and some drinks. I can't remember all the drink names off the top of my head, but I can say the lavender drink was good. They also have some happy hour drinks, so that's the perfect time to go. Aside from the drinks, the fries were delicious! Extra crispy and flavorful. What my bf and I liked the most was the server and how knowledgeable he was about the drinks. Definitely a place to visit again when I'm in DC.

    Excellent atmosphere and drinks...

    Excellent happy hour on a SATURDAY...my wife and I enjoyed time together on our anniversary...found this little spot and had one of the best nights of our lives together...we started at the bar and ended the night with a dinner in the upstairs area...great atmosphere and ambiance...the staff was absolutely great from top to bottom and helpful selecting drinks, food, and also pairings overall...ask for Simón at the bar and prepare yourselves for an experience, Brian is the manager and was great as well (but busy)...GREAT TIMES...thankful for the celebration and evening...Janae was the best and helpful throughout and the absolutely best server...ask for her and Simón...you won't be disappointed...

    One of our favorite restaurants in Georgetown. They have a very good menu and the ambiance is perfect for dinner or just a night out with friends for cocktails and fun. Janae our server is the BEST. She's very attentive, nice and professional. She goes out of her way for what customers need for a pleasant dining experience. We appreciate your service. See you all soon. Dane was also such a professional staff member.

    Blood orange & lavender margaritas

    I loved the decor of Fitzgerald's. It's definitely a sports-themed spot, but with a modern twist and clean liners. A couple of tables appeared to be on dates and that was so refreshing to see dresses and blazers being worn. This would be a great date night or post dinner cocktail spot. Speaking of cocktails, I really enjoyed the blood Orange margarita and the Hemingway daiquiri. My boyfriend marveled at the large selection of Japanese whiskeys on the menu and partook in a few new ones. The Korean fried chicken was a must try since I'd read about it in an article for new hot spots in DC. Goodness, they were good! Crunchy, well seasoned, and a great balance of salty, sweet, and spicy. The Pekíng duck burger was exceptionally well prepared. The patty was both Juicy and tender. The addition of the fried egg added just the right amount of umami. The grilled wagyu short rib was very good.

    Tartare with the charcuterie
    Caroline G.

    This place is a total vibe. I was hoping for a loungey type place where'd I'd be able to hear my date with ease and that's what I got. The veal was to die for. Lighting was perfect. Attentive staff with great suggestions. Highly recommend.

    Korean wings, boudvandier and margarita.

    The crowd was immaculate. The best part of the night was the smooth-ness of the drinks made by arguably the greatest bartender.

This location is in the heart of the city so even if you care to walk around the city at the end of beginning of your trip to S&S, you're in a good mobile area! Other eatery and entertaining spots are all within walking disance. Parking to address, was bad. There are SOME parking lots in the surrounding areas but verrrry minimal, so I would advise Uber'ing in or carpooling with friends. My party of 3 were lucky to have gotten a spot right outside of the entrance. Sidebar, because the Super Bowl and other sports are in rotation now, I would 100000% advise parties over 2 to make a reservation, as its the most helpful to guarantee a spot. See Open Table for reservations - that was where our plans were arranged. See attached pictures for the food we ate and enjoyed - the wings (mine were mumbo and buffalo), fries, and crab dip.

My friend hosted a happy hour there, and I love when events like that introduce you to new spots. The drink specials were honestly amazing with $6 drinks, which is hard to beat. The food specials ended at 7 while the drink specials continued until 8, so I was a little bummed to miss out on that. One thing to note if you're ordering food, the four cheese pizza comes with burrata, which I didn't realize ahead of time. I'd definitely come back to try more of the food, especially the flatbreads since they seem to have a lot of good options. That said, I don't think the staff was fully prepared for the size of our group. My friend brought around 60 people on a Friday night, and it was clear the servers were overwhelmed. At times, it took over 10 minutes just to place an order. I don't necessarily think that's the norm, so I'd be open to coming back during a regular happy hour to get a better feel for the service. Great size bar as well.

Happy hour (3-7) offers beers ranging $1-3, wine $4-6, $7 margs, and I think a few other drink specials, but those options were good enough for me and I went with the wine. Service was a little slow at first, but the one bartender working was friendly and cheerful and doing her best to keep up with everyone until another two eventually showed up or came back from break. Atmosphere was really chill. I liked the dim lighting, everyone was casual and relaxed with a dj setting up in the corner, some hip hop and classic 00s rap bumping, and a steady flow of young-ish friend groups coming in for cheap beer around 5pm. I tried not to evesdrop on the couple next to me at the bar arguing, but their fight sort of added to the entertainment and general vibe. On the other side of me was an adorable couple unsuspectedly ordering fruity drinks and laughing. Totally will be back whenever the end of my work day brings me to this area.

    Looking for a great sports bar with March Madness around the corner and checked out Over Under…read more A few things: - it's a little difficult to find and once inside you go through a dark, empty hallway to get the elevator to the roof. - while true that it is a roof, it is a roof on the 3rd floor surrounded by buildings and overlooking the not so scenic K St. - lots of TVs, large bar, lounge tables and a lot of space. It was empty for a weekend afternoon The drinks were cheap - $7 for specials and they weee made pretty strong. Service was friendly. They add 20% gratuity automatically and don't share that with you - which is always a pain and not appreciated when they don't tell you and with lots of restaurants following different rules in DC.

Once inside, we were escorted up an elevator to the rooftop which was set up very comfortably. There's a long bar that seats 10-15 guests, lots of high top tables, and a good handful of booths. The lighting is fun, views are solid, and open-covered patio is really nice. The drinks were good - there was a $6 vodka lemonade special for the day so we had a few rounds of those. The lemonade they used was delicious - perfectly tart to cut the vodka well. They also added mint to the drink, which really made it pop. I'm about to start doing the same at home! We tried the nachos which were a little disappointing. Nothing stood out from a flavor or taste perspective - they need a little pop of seasoning or flavor. They also weren't your traditional nacho platter, but seemingly an elevated 'fancier' version. Appreciate the effort to elevate the dish, but a classic sheetpan nacho would have been perfect. Our service was a little bit slow - we found ourselves having to work a little bit to flag down a waitress or bartender. Not terribly slow, but something that we noticed throughout the afternoon. Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled as you head towards the entrance - the main door was a little tough to find. We walked right past the entrance way once and had to doubleback. A larger sidewalk presence might be helpful to help bring folks in.

It was straight up LOUD when we arrived due to the music; so loud I debated on if we should stay but we decided on sticking here after seeing there were a couple spots at the bar and less of a crowd there. The bartenders are attentive and patient, answering any questions you have. After ordering a couple beers, I ordered the chicken wings and a side caesar salad while my friend got the fish and chips. The wings are crispy although dry on the inside; fortunately you got the ranch for that; probably not something I would order again given the quality and price. The caesar salad is fine; nothing special, just fine. The fish and chips looked delicious and my friend enjoyed it. I probably should've gone with that but it was a large portion and I wasn't trying to leave on a full stomach. It's breaded nicely with some parmesan fries and a garnish of slaw. I can tell it's a favorite here. Located in Dupont Circle, this seems to be a favorite of the younger crowd which would explain the blaring music; especially on a Wednesday night at 930ish. The restaurant interior gives an upscale elegant vibe that suites the DC scene. Maybe I'll come here for lunch or on the weekend if I'm in the area but I'm too old for the loud music now. Sit outside (if weather permits).
