Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant to dine at for brunch, lunch or dinner…read more Service - attentive, perfectly timed and pleasant to all walks of life. They make you feel welcomed from the minute you enter until you step out the front door to leave. Ambience - The restaurant is very clean and has an open concept in the dining area with each table still feeling private enough to have a good conversation with your dining companions. . Food - delicious with a wide variety with healthy options, my favorite part of this restaurant is that they serve breakfast all day along with lunch and dinner options and they have a good selection of tasty mocktails. It's a little on the pricier side but average for restaurants in the area. Except Ted's is wayyy better in all aspects. No doubt I'll be back soon.

Ted's Bulletin Noma is a short walk from the hotel I rested my sad little head at, so two minutes after walking in, we were seated in the dark-lit environment that almost put me back to sleep. Despite the nearby ceiling vent dripping condensation on the right shoulder of the highest-paid individual in our group, we enjoyed the deviled eggs app and refreshing tap water. I ordered the chicken and biscuits, and I must say, I'd sell my soul for those dead bird sandwiches. The server was young and energetic, but the service was slower than that of Suddenlink internet. I'll be back once I finally get a raise to afford the $3 sausage gravy add-on next time.

The lemon ricotta on the toast was my absolute favorite part of the meal! Quite pricey for a family brunch, but a great atmosphere and delicious option located right downtown and walking distance from local hotels.

I finally made my way to Art and Soul inside the YOTEL Washington DC for brunch, and I have to say…read moreit was a pretty average experience. We arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday without a reservation. After reading several reviews beforehand, I saw multiple people mention that reservations really were not necessary because brunch is usually not very busy. They were absolutely right. There was only one other party in the restaurant when we walked in, and they were leaving as we were being seated. If you are looking for a last minute brunch spot, this is definitely one where you can probably walk right in. The restaurant itself has a clean, modern atmosphere with plenty of natural light. It is quiet and relaxed, making it a nice place if you want a slower paced brunch without the usual DC crowds. The dining room is comfortable, although it could have used a little more energy. Evelyn was our server, and she was very pleasant throughout our meal. She was kind and professional, but it felt like her attention was somewhere else. Considering we were the only table in the restaurant, I expected a bit more attentiveness. I am not sure what she was juggling behind the scenes, but service felt slower than it should have been with such a light crowd. We started with the cinnamon roll, and unfortunately, it was the biggest disappointment of the meal. It was hard, dry, and honestly tasted like it came straight from the grocery store. I have absolutely no issue with a store bought pastry, but at the very least, warm it up. Serving it cold and stale was a strange choice and made a poor first impression. For our entrees, Willie ordered the egg and cheese sandwich, which was simple and satisfying. I went with the Greek yogurt bowl and added a side of crispy turkey bacon. Let me tell you, that turkey bacon was AMAZING. It was perfectly crisp without being overcooked and ended up being my favorite thing on the table. We also customized the lemon blueberry pancakes so they would be something both of us could enjoy, and that turned out to be a good decision. They were light, fluffy, and had a pleasant lemon flavor without being overly sweet. I paired everything with a pineapple juice, which was refreshing and complemented brunch nicely. Overall, the food was a mixed bag. There were a few bright spots, especially the turkey bacon and pancakes, but nothing that really made me eager to rush back. The cinnamon roll was a complete miss, and the service, while friendly, lacked the attentiveness I expected given how empty the restaurant was. Art and Soul feels like one of those places that works if you are staying at the YOTEL or simply need a convenient brunch without a wait. It is comfortable, easy to get into, and has a few menu items worth ordering. However, in a city like Washington, DC that has so many outstanding brunch options, I do not see this becoming a regular stop for me. Overall rating: 6.9/10. I would come back if I did not have anywhere else in mind, but it would not be my first brunch recommendation.

We have been dining at Cafe Fiorello since they opened in Washington, D.C., and we keep returning…read morebecause the food is always excellent. The Spaghetti & Meatballs--and frankly, all of their pastas--are outstanding, and their thin-crust pizzas are a regular, delicious favorite of ours. This past Saturday, we introduced two of our long term friends to the restaurant for their first visit, and they absolutely loved both the food and the service. The entire staff is professional and incredibly welcoming. A special thank you to Esther, Chris, and Kia for their wonderful hospitality, and to the management team for doing an incredible job ensuring we had a fantastic time. From the shareable appetizers to the entrees, desserts, wine list, and cocktail selection, everything was terrific. Hands down the best Italian restaurant in D.C.!

Cafe Fiorello's menu is extensive and the space inside is gorgeous! There's a really nice patio for outdoor dining as well. The location downtown is so convenient, right off Pennsylvania Ave close to Metro Center. I've tried the vodka sauce pizza (excellent, the crust is so thin and crispy it basically shatters in your mouth), the amarena cherry lemonade (delicious!), the meatballs (a bit salty but still very good and a substantial size), and the green salad (fresh with tons of parmesan, which I love). The first time I visited, a server brought around tiny, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies while we were dining, which was such a fun treat. I hope to see Cafe Fiorello return to DC!

The marble counters, the glassware, and one very important detail for me... the bathrooms were clean! I visited for drinks before an event taking place at the hotel. The bartender was so kind while taking my very random gin martini order: bruised, dirty, and with olives. Yes, I know... I did that to a gin martini lol. He looked at me sideways for a second and then said, "I got you lol." We also ordered a regular margarita. Both drinks were tasty and exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this spot for business meetings, date nights, or cocktails with friends. The atmosphere feels elevated without being stuffy, which I really appreciated. As for parking? Don't get it twisted, it's still DC and the parking is still trash lol. Factor in extra time when meeting up with people.

Extremely exemplatory of someone who takes their career serious. He was very helpful as I decided to take my sip through the unlimited mimosas offered by Via Sophia. I am so not a champagne girly so I definitely skipped the traditional and allowed Adelio to choose my first sip since I couldn't many up my mind lol. Then our journey began. He made them to my liking and each one was better and better. The Merlot was definitely my favorite. Can you see the head on that guy?! I would come back and sit at the bar just to be taken care of by him any day. The restaurant was beautifully decorated inside as well and a cute place to have brunch. They didn't offer much food that I enjoyed on their brunch menu, however my friend did get the chocolate gelato which I was told was extremely tasty. I have been to Via Sophia one time before by myself I said at the bar and it was okay but this time definitely has me wanting to come back and putting them on my list of places when I travel to DC again.
