We stopped by on a Friday afternoon for a healthy lunch, and I really enjoyed my chicken plate! Unfortunately, my partner ordered a few sides and found a hair in the middle of his sweet potatoes. That's a big no for me, and honestly, even though I liked my meal, it would make me hesitant to come back. I do appreciate that the nutrition info is so transparent and that there are healthy, grab-and-go options. That's such a priority for me! The ambiance is casual, they offer Wi-Fi (though it was a bit spotty), and it does get crowded pretty quickly. Service was fast, but overall, I'm not sure how I feel about coming back.

But make sure to tell them you want the vegan versions if you order off it, as they have non vegan versions of some of the dishes with the exact same name. It is a loud restaurant.

I ordered lunch from here earlier this week and unfortunately, I really don't understand the hype…read more I ordered the Pad See Ew, and it was probably some of the worst Thai food I've had. The dish seriously lacked flavor, and the egg wasn't properly broken up or incorporated into the noodles. Instead, there were basically two large chunks of egg in the dish. I also specifically asked for extra sauce and was willing to pay for it, but they very clearly did not add any extra sauce. I ended up throwing it away after only a few bites. I will say the rocket shrimp rolls were very good, and the sauce that came with them was also really good. They were easily the best part of the meal. That said, Pad See Ew is a pretty standard Thai dish and something most Thai restaurants easily nail, so I was surprised by how disappointing this was. Overall, definitely not a good experience and not somewhere I'd order from again.

Orders: - Hard boiled eggs - easy to peel and perfectly cooked - Breakfast plate - perfectly cooked and a big portion - Turkey burger - nicely prepared served with mayo, lettuce and tomato - Turkey sandwich - fresh moist roasted turkey served on multi-grain bread with mayo, lettuce and tomato. The turkey sandwich was one of the best that I have had. Fresh and simple.

Customer Complaint Regarding Additional Charges for Standard Food Requests…read more Dear Atrium Café Management, I am writing to express my frustration with the pricing practices and customer service experience I had at Atrium Café in 400 Virginia Ave SW DC. I have been in the restaurant business for more than 30 years, including experience with mom-and-pop restaurants, smaller establishments, and different types of food-service businesses. Because of that experience, I was particularly surprised by some of the additional charges being applied to what I consider to be reasonable and common customer requests. I was informed that customers are charged extra if they want their sandwich served hot/on grill. I was also told that there is an additional charge for having other ingredients served on the side rather than placed directly on the sandwich (Wow) I find this practice very difficult to understand. If an ingredient is already included with the meal, why should a customer have to pay extra simply because they would prefer to have that ingredient served on the side? The restaurant is not necessarily providing additional food; it is simply changing how the food is served. I was also surprised to learn that there is an additional charge for cheese on a some sandwiches. For example If cheese is typically associated with a roast beef sandwich than why are we being charged extra for the cheese. This is very unfair to the consumer. Would you charge a customer less if their sandwich normally comes with cheese, but they ask you to remove it? Or if they remove any other ingredient that would save you money, would you reduce the price? Obviously not, right? So why charge customers extra when they ask for something simple, like having their sandwich heated or putting an already included basic ingredient on the side? Another issue that concerned me was being charged extra simply because I wanted my onions grilled. Charging an additional fee just because an ingredient is prepared differently seems excessive, particularly when the ingredient can be part of the meal. I also took the time to read through reviews from other customers regarding this location, and I noticed that high prices and concerns about the cost of food are recurring themes in a number of the reviews. In my opinion, the practice of adding multiple small charges for ordinary preparation or serving requests could potentially be one factor contributing to customers' perception that the overall prices are high. I understand that restaurants have rising food, labor, and operating costs, and I completely understand charging for additional ingredients (extra meat) or substantial modifications to a meal. However, there is a difference between charging for something genuinely additional and charging customers for relatively minor preparation or serving requests. After more than 30 years around the restaurant industry, I believe businesses build a strong reputation by making customers feel valued and by providing reasonable pricing. Constantly adding small charges to ordinary customer requests can create the opposite impression and may leave customers feeling that they are being charged for every little thing. I hope management will take a serious look at these policies and consider whether these additional charges are truly necessary. Customers shouldn't be feeling like they are being nickel-and-dimed for reasonable requests (ex.on side preparations or grilled onions) I am sharing this feedback because I believe Atrium Café has an opportunity to improve the customer experience and build a stronger reputation by reconsidering some of these practices. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I hope management will review these policies and consider making changes that are fair, reasonable with less of a nickel-and-dime approach to charging customers for basic options and services.

You have your choice of Indian, Venezuelan, Burmese, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, and more. Maman (which replaced Paul Bakery), Andy's Pizza, and Falafel Inc are superb. The only national chain restaurant is Chipotle. In the warmer months you can sit in the outdoor space outside Chipotle, but it gets busy and crowded fast so reserving chairs for friends on their way is a challenge. There's also an underground (paid) garage accessible from 20th St NW.
