    First time at Kaché and it was great! The service, the DJ and the food were all really good. I think my favorite bites were the crab hush puppies and the calamari. I've never had calamari with mumbo sauce before but I'm now a fan! Melissa and Wes were amazing. Will definitely be back

    We celebrated my little one's 11th birthday here and all had a wonderful time! This restaurant is super cool in many ways. It's a bit eclectic in the diverse music it plays on the playlist and the flavors of food. The decor of the walls made it feel like I'm transported to a new world. And the food was very fun and unique, good for foodies! And last but not least, exceptional service! To be fair, we were there for early dinner/ happy hour on a weekday so there weren't many other patrons, so they were super duper nice to us. It made my daughter feel special on her birthday. Every dish here had some twist to it. The owner explained that she wanted to bring the world of flavors together in one place. My favorite items were the Quiet Crabs (hush puppies), the Sweet Spot (crispy shrimp), sweet potato flat bread, and the cookie dessert that I forgot to take a picture of. Our waitress brought our burger over with the glazed onion sauce on the side because she wasn't sure my kids would like it. And she was totally correct. My husband and I loved that sauce so we used extra for our bite. I like that all the staff were super thoughtful in doing things like this! The bartender gave us some small samples of a drink that he named Quiet Night. And they gave us free dessert for my daughter's birthday. Our entire experience here was awesome, and I couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Kache is a black owned restaurant serving globally inspired American cuisine. They have a great happy hour selection available Tuesday to Friday from 5-7 pm. I would recommend the margarita, mule, quiet crab, shrimp, chicken sandwich and fries. I sat at the bar and the service was great. They also play music on select nights after 9 pm. The dining room has a dimly lit intimate vibe and the enclosed patio is perfect for the happy hour.

    We had a glass of Prosecco and a federal flower to start with. The Prosecco was good as Prosecco usually is. The federal flower was excited for the mango but it was a soft hint of it. I think muddled mangos may change the game on a drink like this ! We got the fries and cabbage to start with fries they give you the perfect amount to share and the aioli is beyond words so good ! The cabbage was . . . Interesting it has the potential to be perfect but there's something on top that makes the dish extremely bitter and it over powers and takes over the taste of the cabbage. The Brussels were good they do have a bit of spice to them and grapes but it's not a bad mix at all just be prepared. The sweet potatoes were also good ! The mocktails are delicious here. We also had the absolute best service from entering the establishment until we left. The owner came out and she checked on each table. We had Darwin as our server and he made sure we were taken care of the entire time. When we arrived they offered to take our coats and umbrella and just treated us well the entire time. I would absolutely come back and vibe out at the bar. They had a really good music selection as well

    This has become my new happy hour spot. Five dollar food options and $10 drink options. You really cannot beat that in DC. Everything wants to charge you, the arm, the leg, the back, the neck, the hair, the nails. Not this spot tons of things to try Wednesday happy hour goes till 8 PM all night half off on wine you cannot beat that. Staff very knowledgeable shows that they know what they're doing what they're talking about they care. The sommelier very nice gentleman that definitely knows his wines. Had an amazing Malbec blend that I had to go pick up myself. My favorites are the K St. fries with the truffle aïoli with a federal flower drink one drink is typically you're good to go, but of course your girl never stops there. She always does a bit too much so I end up having several so I would say the margarita is also good but like I said that wine to the blend must try parking. Here is what parking is in DC so just don't try it. I always park on Ice Street. The vibe there is a really cute vibe as well. They have a nice little indoor outdoor space as well as a TV downstairs that will typically play different sporting events if that's your thing.

    Visiting Kache during their soft opening and I had good time. The food was the star of the show. The Taiwanese fried chicken was excellent. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The servers were nice but needed more time with the menu, but that can be developed with time. It was a good vibe in the lounge area upstairs with a bar and good music. The vibe downstairs was different. More quiet and isolating than the rest of the restaurant. I did however like the coat check option, as the lounge area upstairs didn't have much seating let alone space to check your coat. There were lounge seating along the wall, but the seating across from the lounge seating was a low chair stool, which wasn't the most comfortable for long sitting periods. Nonetheless, like I said it was a good vibe and I'm looking forward to the grand opening.

    Let's start off by saying, as someone who grew up in DC, the city has really morphed into a place where you can truly experience what it means to be an adult with top-tier dining options--and Kaché DC fits right into that evolution. We came on a Wednesday night and from the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The décor is very appealing--super cute and stylish. A few of my dining companions are on the taller side and requested chairs with backs, and the staff happily accommodated without hesitation. The bartender was amazing. He crafted custom cocktails for us and even named one after my friend--so when you go, ask for "The Byron," smoked. You won't regret it. I had the Secret Garden Refresher, and it lived up to its name: light, crisp, and very refreshing. We started with the K Street Fries--crispy, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We also tasted the Hey Mambo, which is their unique take on calamari, and we loved the mambo sauce. The Quiet Crab is a winner too--thinking it was going to be more hushpuppy than anything, we were pleasantly surprised that it was packed with crab. 10 out of 10, highly recommend. For entrees: * Mimi's Po' Boy (shrimp): The bread was soft, the shrimp were fried to perfection, and the remoulade added the perfect balance of flavor. It also came with fries, which were a great complement. * Smoke & Stack Burger: Cooked exactly as requested, super juicy, and paired perfectly with the fries. It was devoured--no crumbs left behind. For dessert, we shared the Sticky Toffee Cookie and the Soft Landing. The Sticky Toffee Cookie was my favorite--rich, warm, and comforting. The only thing missing was a scoop of ice cream to take it over the top. Overall, Kaché has a nice, chill vibe with great food, creative cocktails, and attentive service. It's definitely on our list of places to revisit.

    I visited Kache for the first time, and truly had an amazing experience. The happy hour menu provides a wide range of small plates for $5 and drinks for $10. The dinner menu has additional appetizers and larger entrees with unique and creative twists on flatbreads, burgers, chicken, and more. We had the Quiet Crabs (crab hush puppies), Hey Mambo (calamari), Crab Yew Tew (crab pasta), Flip The Bird (fried chicken), She Said (eggplant), Crispy Business (Brussels sprouts) and the Sticky Toffee Cookie. My favorites were the crab hush puppies, fried chicken, which was soft yet crunchy, and Brussels sprouts, which were seasoned to perfection. The dessert toffee cookie was a great way to end the meal -- it was like a this gingerbread pancake topped with caramel and cream. I enjoyed each dish and the workers had great energy and amazing service. This restaurant is new but I look forward to seeing it grow and I want to try more of the happy hour items, as well as the tuna flatbread.

    Kaché was even more than I expected! I'll absolutely be back. I live fairly close, so I'll also be a regular, especially when weather warms up to enjoy the beautiful & spacious patio. Kaché offers not just vibes and beautiful decor, but a thoughtfully curated menu that makes you want to order everything. The menu item names are also really catchy and pay homage to the area, so they really stand out. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-tier. Two levels, a sexy upstairs bar, and cocktails that were both beautiful and packed a punch. Lumi manages the bar with precision and makes sure everyone is well taken care of. I'm talking over the top amazing service! What we ordered: Hey Mambo Calamari - perfectly cooked Crispy Business - brussels with bold, unexpected twists Flip the Bird - Taiwanese-style fried chicken with hot honey sauce I could literally drink Federal Flower Spritz & Chocolate City Dream with tequila Finished with a Good Ol'Fashioned Filibuster + Sticky Toffee Cookie They also have hour M-F from 4-6:30 with $5/$10 app & drink specials. I'll absolutely be back

    A solid 3.5! I've been here twice now. The outside patio and bar area is great and I've enjoyed sitting there both times. The happy hour menu has great prices and generous portions. I truly loved the crab hush puppies and I would recommend them to anyone. There are only two but they're very rich and absolutely delicious (no skimping on the crab). The chicken sandwich had great portions but the chicken was soft/soggy - I prefer a crisp fried chicken so that didn't hit for me, and the bun was a bit sad/dry. I was hoping for a bit more heat in the sauce since it mentioned gochujang. The sticky toffee pudding was a major miss for me. The cookie was hard and dry, bland, and served lukewarm. I was hoping for warm and gooey. Especially for a sticky toffee pudding-based dessert! The whipped cream on it was really good but the sauce was sickly sweet and missing salt across the board. I would be willing to go back to try some other mains and to order the happy hour crab hush puppies again, because those are special, but I wasn't impressed overall by the quality. Service was slow but they're new and I imagine that will change with time. It was easy to walk in without reservations.

    Two friends and I visited Kaché last night and had a great experience! First off, the customer service was exceptional! Our waiter, Darwin, and the GM, Mucilina (hope I'm spelling that right) were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. Definitely made us feel more than welcome. The atmosphere upstairs was cozy and sexy. Definitely cute for a date night. We tried a lot of menu items and enjoyed everything. The Crab Yew Tew, Zino, Brussels, calamari, hush puppies, sweet potato flatbread, and all three desserts. My favorite dessert was the sticky toffee cookie. The music playing in the background was a nice R&B vibe. Overall, I would definitely recommend and would certainly return.

    I really hate leaving bad reviews. We had a party of 7. The service was just ok and the waitress started off fine but then had an attitude when we asked for our drinks whixh we could see where sitting on the bar for 10 minutes. It was an espresso martini and 2 bottles of champagne. Not a very complicated order and it sat for 10 minutes. This is where the attitude started. It was only one bottle of champagne so when we asked for rhe 2nd bottle she said o its coming. It's 7 people one bottle of champagne is done after you fill 5 glasses. The next bottle came 20 min later. The food was fine, portions could have been larger. The biggest issue came from the bill. When she arrived with the bill we asked was gratuity Included she said yes, no problem. They had a tap to pay option no printed receipt. When we paid they handed us a printed receipt whixh had the 20% gratuity like she said, however there was a other 20% charge for large party. So in total 40%, 40% is criminal! The never mentioned this, so almost half the bill was fees. If you are charging a crazy large party fee let people know and of so make sure the service matches that. Terrible business practice to charge a large party fee of 20%.

    Crispy Shrimp

    I came here after seeing this spot pop up on Instagram for happy hour, and finding out it's only been open for about six weeks made me even more excited to check it out. I've got high hopes for this place. The happy hour menu has around 12 items between food and drinks, and I ordered almost everything. The food was all $5 and drinks were $10 which is a really good price for a happy hour. The fried crab hush puppies were really good, even though you only get two and they're probably the smallest portion on the menu. Still worth ordering. The chicken sandwich was super fire. Very flavorful, with a sauce that had a little heat and sweetness to it. I was genuinely surprised by the size. For $5, I was expecting a slider, but this was a full sandwich. My favorite food item was easily the crispy shrimp with mumbo sauce. The sauce had a serious kick, and it came with these cucumber slices that tasted lightly pickled with chili and vinegar. That combo was elite. I also grabbed the fried chicken to go, paired it with the truffle gravy and hot pot sauce, mixed them together, and yeah... that was gas. Drink-wise, the margarita was my favorite. Perfect balance of sweet and sour, not overly tart like a lot of lime margaritas can be. I also tried the fed flower, which was solid, especially if you're into gin. The mezcal mule was the only miss for me. Not bad, just way too much ginger, so I passed it to my plus one. The only thing worth noting is service speed. We were literally the only two people in the restaurant since we came right when they opened, and while drinks came out quickly, the food took a bit longer than expected. Not enough to knock off a star, but something to keep in mind if the place gets busy. Overall, I'll definitely be back. This is for sure getting added to my happy hour rotation, and I've already heard they may start doing DC brunch, which I'll absolutely be pulling up for. Strong start for a new spot and a lot of potential here.

This time decided to try some new items, including the shrimp wontons, the snapper, and the ribs. Loved the ribs. Felt the snapper was a good portion size and fried well, but could have packed more flavor. And also felt the shrimp wontons were just okay, could have also packed more flavor. I might go back to my old faithful, the oxtails, next time, or get the ribs again! Service could be improved. The waiter forgot to check in on us a few times, and was delayed refilling drinks. I didn't have my meal selection ready by the time as my other guests, so they agreed to come back and give me a bit more time. By the time I got to order, my party had all received their meals and were halfway done eating them. I think the server had too many tables to manage, even though the place is small.

    Had some impressive meals in this Michelin restaurant during my visit to DC…read more The first time was for lunch. Ordered the Oxtail bowl. By default it came with two pieces of oxtails but that was too much meat for me so I asked for just one piece and more veggies. My server was kind enough to do such modification for me. The oxtail was fork-tender, had lots of collagen, beefy, and had a distinct sourness. The pickled veggies (cucumber slaw & bell peppers) provided a different type of sourness and a hint of heat. Overall very good, though the flavors from the meat and veggies were so strong that I could not have a clear idea of the flavor of the coconut rice. Also, I wish there could be more jus because it went soooooo well with the rice! The second time was for dinner. Tried the Pepperpot, Crispy Kale and Hops. The Pepperpot was a stew of oxtails, cowheels and beef chucks. Very beefy and spicy, a little bit sour/tangy, and very earthy. The sauce was heavenly. It was served with a small bowl of coconut rice and 2 pieces of hops. The rice was a little bit sweet and salty. The hops were similar to dinner rolls, except that they were more dense and firmer. I thought the Crispy Kale was like fried cabbage in soul food but it was literally fried -- so it was very crispy. Too oily for me. I like the mango chutney, though. Service was good and quick. While the restaurant is very small, reservation does not seem to be difficult, especially for lunch. There were, however, lots of online orders.

It has a vibrant and rustic Jamaican feel to it, with plenty of space to dine in and listen to music while you eat.

I ordered a medium oxtail which came with two sides (they had a rice and mac and cheese option for a couple of dollars extra) and cabbage. The oxtails were meaty and reminded me of what I would always order back in Jersey. The rice and cabbage were plentiful, but the mac really surprised me. It was super cheesy and moist. This gem will be seeing a lot more of me!

    This place kicks out some bona fide Jamaican and American cooking…read more Their jerk is just how I like it. It's got the right balance of the bazillion ingredients that go into jerk, and also, it's been rested properly, making a deeply flavorful marinade rather than one which is overly peppery.

It makes me want to call home and talk to mom. The cabbage side is very tasty and I'm certainly not a cooked cabbage person at all, so it's got to be exceptional for me to write that. For dessert, butter rum cake is right on the money and red velvet cake is scrumptious as well.

    Food and cocktails with a KICK!!…read more I went on a slow night when it was raining. Outside seating was closed for obvious reasons and it was seated immediately inside. Decor was simple nice and neat. They're sitting at the bar and the tables. I noticed the bar seats have those little purse hooks under the table, which are nice for those so inclined. Jamaican music playing at nice volume that permitted conversation while keeping a bouncy vibe. Service was quick and friendly. I ask for recommendation between two drinks and he recommended the purple dolphin. GREAT choice, I mix a bourbon elderflower and Plum infused syrup. Headed nice flavor profile of sweet with still the bourbon kick. Jerk chicken rasta pasta was OUTSTANDING with plenty of creamy, peppery KICK.

Oh I also witnessed an off duty worker come in to assemble his marijuana at an open view table. Worker from the back noticed and told "manager/bartender" he was busy with other customers.
