    Americano
    Ben D.

    Great new place in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood stopped by to get a coffee and check it out. The Americano I got tasted great with nice balance. Not too much bitterness it was a great coffee. Service was nice and friendly. There is inside seating and outside patio seating. Nice small coffee shop. It also has a good size food menu for breakfast and later in the day. Overall will definitely be back.

    I came here for breakfast right after my morning job and I was surprised that this small restaurant/ cafe a more than ten people eating here. The cafe seems vintage Mexican with most of the interior dating back to the 80's. I love home town restaurants like this because they are generally less uptight and really more down-to-earth. Everything on their breakfast menu seemed reasonably priced. I ordered the spinach with mushroom omelette and they made it special for me by adding some chipotle sauce and ricotta cheese. I sat at a table on the front porch, and there was toon for about four groups of customers. The breakfast was fantastic!

    Wonderful neighborhood cafe. Breakfast food and coffee were amazing outside on their small patio. We didn't have a problem as there were only a few other customers but they soon got busy for only one wait staff taking orders and making all the coffee.

    Joes Seafood is our go to for celebratory dinners. You can never go wrong with coming to Joes…read more The food is always good and the service keeps us coming back. Last night we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We have a fav booth that we request when making our reservations and it's always ready when we arrive. The Bartender Brandon is just the best!! When he's working we know it's going to be an awesome experience. People will always remember how you make them feel!!! & Joes gets it every time. Whether you're coming to watch a game, perfect date night, GNO...family dinner...birthdays...anniversaries...whatever the reason....you can't go wrong with coming here. Already looking forward to the next time :)) Happy Yelping!

    Back again for Happy Hour after several years. It was mostly an excellent experience…read more The bartenders were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Food was excellent. I was going to give a 5-star rating, but then I noticed on the menu that Joe's participates in the 3% "operating expenses surcharge" scam. Instead of openly raising prices so patrons can easily compare them between restaurants, the 3% goes in the small print at the bottom of the menu. Regardless of what they claim about dealing with rising costs, this sneaky 3% goes into the pockets of the owners as profit. Patrons are given the option to ask for this surcharge to be removed from their bill. They should do so and complain loudly about this practice. Several other high end DC restaurants have stopped running this scam after sufficient protest from patrons.

    The restaurant is nice and airy, with minimal but charming decorations. I couldn't tell how noisy…read moreit gets because there weren't many customers when we were there for brunch last week, which is too bad as the food is really good and not unreasonably priced. We had the very large breakfast burrito and the garden vegetable shakshuka. Both were excellent; delivered hot and were well seasoned. The coffee is strong but not acidic. The servers were very helpful and attentive, and responsive to requests for additional items. I would definitely return again for a meal before a play at Arena stage or otherwise.

    One of my new friends lives at the Wharf so there is literally something to do all day, every day!…read more Fish Shop was in my bookmarks and I had mentioned this a few times but never came. He literally picked everything around the Wharf but this place. One morning after getting his boat docked, before heading this is condo, I said let's go to Fish Shop. I guess I know why he never wanted to come. The place is never packed and I know why. We got a few things for brunch and the fish came out raw. Charbroiled Oysters were good. I wouldn't return. They need a better menu and the food needs to be memorable. One and done for me. Ambiance is nice! Date night worthy at least to try.

    It has been years since I have eaten at Hank's. Too long really. But we wanted some seafood and…read moretheir Dupont location was close so - off we went. We were seated immediately and the dining room is adequate. Sufficiently decorated to make it okay. It is furnished for maximum occupancy which is fine. Think casual place, almost bar with food, not fancy at all. I do not mean for this to be a negative comment. Hank's presents itself as more of a beachside joint, not a high end seafood restaurant. Each of these sorts of restaurants has a place in the spectrum. Our waiter - Keith or Kevin - I'm so sorry but I cannot remember his name - was GREAT! Funny, good at his job, great personality and helpful. He started out with a corny, but cute, joke and he kept getting better all night. The manager too was quite good, professional and friendly. What a great staff! The food is good. I could talk about the lobster bisque (a bit on the strong side) or the flounder (a bit on the salty side). But, honestly, the food was good and I enjoyed it a lot. I did not complain about any of it nor do I think a complaint was necessary. So, as I said before, it had been years since I had last eaten at Hank's. But it won't be that long anymore. I recommend Hank's for a casual seafood meal.
