I enjoyed my meal here. The cocktail I had was fruity and refreshing and the pizza was delicious! The service was great and the restaurant had an open, modern ambiance.

We're in DC for my daughters graduation, just walking and taking in the sights afterwards. We stopped in for a quick snack and fell in love! First off, we were seated immediately without reservations! The staff was awesome. Lucas, our server, super attentive and informative. We had a variety of shared plates, Brussels sprouts, tuna crudos, zucchini chips,fig and prosciutto pizza and bacon wrapped dates. The food was off the chain! The dates were sweet and savory, the pizza was thin crusted and full of flavor. The brussel sprouts had a bite to them but not overpowering. We ordered 2 flights of red wines, just to try them out and all were delicious! The price was good considering all the food, drinks and location. All in all, a very pleasant lunch experience.

WOW! I have had this on my list for so long and we finally stopped by to celebrate after I ran the MCM this year! Terrance was amazing and made sure we had all of our allergies well noted and took great care of us. We all commented on how beautiful and open the space is and felt so comfortable without being stuffy. I had the brunch club sandwich and oh my gosh that hit every stop and ones I didn't know I had! The meatballs were awesome and the drinks were PERFECT

Side of Fries

Sixty Vines is a grata place ode happy hour or after work drink/dinner with friends. The tap selection is vast and the food is solid. Our party had a couple of appetizers including the burrata crostini, roasted Brussels sprouts, side of fries, bacon wrapped dates and crispy zucchini. The beet and herbed goat cheese salad was a very healthy portion with tons of golden, red and rainbow beets however was light on the goat cheese and was a bit under dressed. A bit more goat CB ese and dressing would have made this the perfect salad, as it was well balanced in flavor when eaten all together. The fig snd prosciutto pizza was good. With arugula topping the pizza for some pepperiness and generous amount of prosciutto on it. Only criticism is there were very few figs on the pizza and the prosciutto wasn't cut in a way conducive to pizza sharing as some slides got all the prosciutto and others didn't get any even though the slides were made, the ham was not cut through. Overall a decent spot for dinner with coworkers. Fast service and casual, yet refined atmosphere make sixty vines a solid choice for a weekday happy hour or dinner

Charcuterie board

High energy- bright vibe with modern ambience. Exceptional service everywhere you turn. Good food, fun atmosphere for some good time with friends and family. Venue: Ginormous - and yet it was packed. Huge bar downstairs and there's one in the rooftop as well. Modern- I just loved all the furniture there and lounge area by the waiting area is so chic and very smart idea. Food: we just ordered pizza and large charcuterie board. Margarita Pizza was good- simple yet full of flavor with almost perfect dough (and good priced.) Charcuterie board was simple yet well prepared. Loved the honey comb that complimented the soft cheese we ordered. Had some wine flights and went very well with what we ordered. Service: the manager helped us in the beginning - and came back to check up on us -just said everything how this place is under a great management. The servers from the lounge to the table were all exceptional and very helpful. You guys rock! Price: very fair price for what it delivers Yes- I'm coming back again for more but with more people now!

Charcuterie board
Nichele W.

I came here in search of a delicious frosé after hearing it was one of the best spots for one to and it definitely lived up to the hype. They also make an excellent Hugo Spritz. The space is large, bright, and airy, with plenty of seating and beautiful natural light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Our waitress, Kelsey (I believe that was her name), was friendly, attentive, and personable, which made the experience even better. The drink menu offers an impressive selection of wines and cocktails, so there's something for just about everyone. The food was equally enjoyable. We ordered one of the charcuterie boards, which was generous and satisfying, and I appreciated that the menu features plenty of shareable dishes that are perfect for groups or a casual outing. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks, light bites, and catching up with friends. I'd happily return.

Truffled fries
Portia O.

The happy hour food is worth going here! The shared plates portions are very generous. If you're doing happy hour with a friend, you probably only need two shared plates. We got the truffled fries and the toasted cauliflower. The fries were excellent! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cauliflower lacked flavor in my opinion because I make and eat a lot of cauliflower, and I season mine, so I'm critical of roasted cauliflower. The whipped eggplant was also bland, but the grilled flatbread was fantastic! The interior is very beautiful and perfect for a stunning day, because of all the windows. And the bar staff were attentive and kind. Overall, a good day for experience, I just needed more flavor on the food.

Shrimp Campanelle

Pretty high end and expensive. But the restaurant is very trendy for young people. Great list of wine, had an amazing server. I recommend the pizza!!!

Bella L.

Great place for large groups. Beautiful interior and SO many wines on tap. What a cool concept?? I have never seen this before. I loved it. Our server was great and was super helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. Allowed me to try wines to find what I would like. Great experience

Winemakers plate
Caroline R.

Came for brunch on a Saturday, surprised at how quiet it was but grateful since we had our newborn with us. Great space and vibes for brunch with some good deals on cocktails and wine. We loved the frozen espresso martini and matcha martini! Thought the food was good (not great). But would come back again just for the atmosphere and drink options!

The dates
Toni B.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally made it. I loved the atmosphere, decor, and the service. We started off with the bacon wrapped dates and the brussel sprouts. Both were really good...I just wish there were more of the dates...lol.

Broccoli/potato pizza
Victoria M.

Sixty vines is a really fun experience. The space is beautiful, open, and has a great menu of both food and drinks. My most recent visit was for brunch and I ordered the rigatoni. It was good, but nothing amazing. I wouldn't order it again. I also found the presentation to be a bit wonky, like someone prepared it tilted. Our server was great, although give ln how large the space is, and how quickly it fills up, it was a bit difficult to grab his attention for our check. We were all siting with empty drinks and no plates ready to go for at least 20 minutes. Overall , the experience is good and continues to be good. I would say my preference is lunch or happy hour time frame. One note is that they just changed their menu so my beloved, favorite pizza pictured is gone. I would say their menu became more generic whereas prior there were a lot of different and unique options. My friend and I were both disappointed to find our faves missing (her a pasta).

Roasted Cauliflower
Thuy L.

I love Sixty Vines! It's a fantastic location- great if you want to meet friends. Metro accessible to Foggy Bottom Station, close to the shuttle to the Kennedy Center for a pre-show meal as well. Very green and vibey, lively and smells incredible (they have their signature candle for sale), has lots of options that suit tons of dietary needs. I love all of their vegetable based share plates the most- cauliflower with the most scrumptious eggplant dip, the crisp little zucchini, tangy and crispy Brussels sprouts...I've brought two different groups here visiting town, as they're fantastic with groups because of the nice big tables. Love this spot!

From the vibes: moody wallpaper, a divine bathroom sink with wax-coated wine bottles serving as candle holders, to the service: Thomas was great!, to the cocktails and extensive wine list, everything was resplendent. There hasn't been a single dish we didn't enjoy, but I'm admittedly writing this after visit #2, so I'm focusing on that more as it's fresher in my mind. Both visits we tried the miso caesar salad, the heirloom tomato salad, the filet mignon carpaccio, the hiramasa crudo, and the stuffed chicken. They were just too good to skip on our second visit! My husband swears dessert is why he wanted to go back -- the choux bun dessert is TO DIE FOR! The menu had changed ever so slightly on our second visit, so we tried a few dishes that weren't present before: the tarama and the sea bass. The sea bass was my favorite bite of the night! Served over a bed of porridge and golden rice that is so sumptuously savory, the tender fish topped with katafi was just exquisite.

A gentleman who worked there offered to take a photo of us, after watching us struggle with a selfie, the staff quickly grabbed an extra chair when we had a 5th guest, and our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable and sweet. While waiting for the rest of our party I tried two drinks. I can recommend both- retro passion and bourbon ginger beer concoction. We followed that with arancini and fried artichoke. Yes and yes. For the main meals, they generously let us slip large portions. I tried the short rib parpadelle, and although a tad under seasoned, everything was prepared properly and my pasta was perfectly al dente. Out of the 5 who visited 3 did not care for their meal, but I think we could all agree that the drinks, apps, and portions were on point. *So, we ended up grabbing dinner here two days after our initial visit- I can't say I recommend the octopus, and the beef carpaccio was "take it or leave it", but the gnocchi was pillowy perfection...just know that this is a heavy dish!

What really stood out though was the service. We were a little early on our Resi before the restaurant opened. Rather than have us wait in the rain, the staff let us in. They don't split checks, but they did it for us anyway. It's those kinds of little gestures that really make a difference. Bonus- great leychee martini.

Don't be thrown off by the egg white. Try it. Bread - hot, flaky, delicious. Get it. Hamachi - citrusy, fresh, tasty Steak Tartare - It was just OK for me. Super savory but could have skipped it. Plums - this was one of the table favorites. Creative dish. The plums weren't too sweet and paired well with the other ingredients. Pickled eggplant - nice contrast to the other items. My wife's favorite. Leek Tart - cheesy and savory. Not as blown away as other reviewers but very good. Chorizo Dumplings - my son's favorite. But you're paying over $9/dumpling. Not sure it's worth it. Rice Pudding - weird name for essentially what is four jumbo shrimp over paella style rice. Very tasty but can be skipped if you're trying to keep the bill down. Massini - it was good but not a must get. Chocolate cake - the four us literrally ate this in like 20 seconds. It was amazing. Skip the other desserts and get two orders of this. If it were possible, I would give this restaurant 4.5 stars instead of 5 because it is expensive. We avoided the priciest items on the menu and still spent $110/person including tax and tip. But if you can afford it, go for it.

Leek tart - very cheese forward (so much so that I could barely taste leek), with nice greens and a…read morecute carrot addition, Pickled eggplant - soft and delicious eggplant (the sauce made me think of ajvar (red pepper spread)), Bread - these small rolls had good potential, but were strangely tough and almost dry on the outside, but the butter was yummy, "Shepherd Pie" - that is how it was described anyway; it was very filling, did not have peas and was kind of dry inside, Cod - this was some of the best fish I've had in awhile. Soft, flaky, not overcooked and the sauce had a bit of a spiciness surrounding the small fried plaintain cubes; served with shredded beets, Massini - light but big portion of creamy deliciousness (would compare to crème brûlée), Sweet potato - I forget what exactly this was called, it was their seasonal special; poached sweet potato with delicious ginger ice cream and strands of chocolate (get it if available!), Sifón cocktail with vermouth was delicious (although could use fewer ice cubes), Service was professional and I liked how, out the window, you could see people playing tennis on the courts across the street.

Firstly, I really have to commend the staff.  They were so attentive and thoughtful.  Our server, for example, brought an extra little light to our table when she saw we were struggling to read the menu in the low light. They were great about checking with us, keeping the water glasses filled and anticipating other needs such as a bag when we wanted to take some of our meal home.  Everyone was very kind and this added so much to our meal.  We enjoyed our progressive meal which reflecting the chef's heritage from both Italy and Brazil.  Our starting mocktails of the ploughman's surprise and the fermented peach soda were good.  The peach soda had a great amount of fizz but could have used a little more peach.  Maybe the nectar just sunk to the bottom and by the time we drank that far, the ice had diluted it.  We preferred the ploughman's surprise, which, coming with no ice (yah!) stayed flavorful to the very end.  Our app of grilled peaches and burrata was tasty but we actually preferred it eaten as its separate components rather than together where the burrata seemed to overpower the other flavors.  Special shout out to the sourdough crisp on top.  Super crunchy and delicious!  The bread was also a stand out in the panzanella.  This dish had a great kick from the jalapeno and was fresh and refreshing.  For our third dish - the bread also was really good.  This time it was garlic knots which everyone looked forward to the moment that garlic aroma arrived at our table.  The summer lasagna came with a very light and slightly sweet tomato sauce which only made us wish we had even more bread!  The main entrée was the picanha steak.  It was very well cooked and though not as hot temperature wise as we would have liked, it was really good even just warmed.  The oven roasted potatoes were just right and the chimichurri sauce was very good (anther longing for more bread - can you see a theme?...)  Dessert was a soft and custardy on the inside corn cake with  mascarpone and espresso dulce de leche.  Although I couldn't taste much of the coffee flavor, the dish was another example of Reveler's Hour comfort food wheelhouse.  The food and the service at Reveler's Hour are definitely worth coming back for.  Next time, we might try to sit towards the front where there is more light from the windows.  There is a small outdoor public lot a block away.

Between the warm ambiance, thoughtful service, and incredible food, Reveler's Hour is a great spot in Adams Morgan.

I was very excited about the French-Canadian, always-changing menu. Physical Exam: Taste - The Prime Rib Sando was a preemo sandwich of balanced cheese and meat between two slices of toasty sourdough. The Cheeseburger Americain was a standard 3.5 out of 5 American cheeseburger that beats the average suburban chain restaurant burger with its double patty and sesame bun, but isn't gonna knock your socks off like a steakhouse burger. The poutine kept my socks on too (I was particularly excited about the poutine and ended up a tad underwhelmed). The biggest disappointment was the mozzarella sticks, which...... I'll just get to in the service part. Cocktails were mid. All interesting concepts, but most missed the mark. the Polar Express was a little too sweet, I forgot what the name of the riff on an old fashioned or Manhattan I had but that was okay, and the Fleur de Citron tasted like when you ask for a Sprite and they ask, "Is Sierra Mist (now Starry) okay?" and you reply, "yeah that's fine," but then what you get is actually a flat 7-Up. Ambiance - This place runs on vibes like America runs on Dunkin'. Live DJ, neon lights, feels like a place you wanna eat a little, dance a little, drink a little. Fun place. Tanked by the service. Skip to the Assessment/Plan if you don't want to read this novella retelling of our evening. Service - Relatively early for the dinner service, we were the largest and one of only a few tables in the restaurant. I counted 3 other tables seated (small parties of less than 4 each) and a few patrons at the bar. It took about 20 minutes before we first got our menus and the guy who handed them to us didn't say a word just dropped them off. Then it took another 20 minutes before he came back to get our drink orders, and 1) seemed like he was having a bad day, which... fine, but 2) was rolling his eyes when some of us were a little between some options and wanted a recommendation, which... alright my guy let's chill. We weren't talking loud, we weren't drinking before and being obnoxious, we just wanted to ask about what some of the drinks were like on a very cool menu of cocktails we haven't tried anywhere else. Upon returning with our drinks, he accidentally spilled a not insignificant amount on my friend sitting across from me, and while we reacted and started handing him extra napkins, he just glanced at him, finished giving out the drinks, and walked away. No "oops", "my bad", "oh let me get you some paper towels", nothing. So at this point, we're all staring at each other like "Did we do something? Do we smell?" Whatever, friend's birthday, we've been talking about this cabin weekend for several years and it's finally happening, let's just vibe. Now another 20 minutes went by and we were getting antsy because we wanted to order our food but it looked like there wasn't a lot of staff, and we didn't want to upset anyone by hurrying them. Another man came over who we thought was going to take our orders. Nope. He starts picking up our menus so I say, "Oh, hey we haven't ordered yet." To which he replies, "OK, but I need the menus." Alright cool, yeah, that makes sense if he needed them for other tables and can leave us with a few to share. Nope. He just took them and placed them back at the host stand. Awkward stares across the table again. Whatever, we had enough, I guess. Tick tock, tick tock. A third guy came over, and when he smiled and asked, "Hi are you all ready to order?" I was like "Oh finally a human being!" Food took another 20-ish minutes while we nursed our drinks and really had no interest in ordering another round (not that anyone asked us). We ate. We chatted. We had an okay time. We were super ready to get out of there. Oh right, the mozz sticks. Le Mont'zarella sticks. They had one order left of four sticks for $18. We were one of the first diners. You can imagine after all the above, that's just a major facepalm emoji. Assessment/Plan: Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for Le Mont Royal to improve their service, now and at the hour of ASAP, because the place has so much potential, and maybe it was just an off night, or the staff just finished arguing with each other in the back so they took it out on us, but dearly beloved Lord it was like we offended nine generations of their ancestry from the moment we walked in. With "a 22% service charge has been added for your convenience," I thought we were getting Punk'd. The always-changing French-Canadian menu is a cool and unique concept, but it's a lot of bark with very little bite. It didn't make the disappointing service worth it.

I've been to Bar a Vin a few times now and have enjoyed my experience each time. Be warned, it…read morefills up quickly! I've never had a problem getting a seat, but there was definitely close to standing room only at one point when we decided to dine for dinner instead of just getting drinks. Ok - wine list. Great French-focused wine list. Pinot Blanc by the glass? Yes, please! Not something you often see on a menu, even a at a wine bar. They definitely had a few off the beaten path varietals listed, and this is just the wines by the glass, which is always appreciated. Had been to Bar a Vin a few times in the past to have drinks, but decided to dine there back in August. The food was excellent. My husband really enjoyed his salmon rillettes, and I loved my tomato salad. They do feature the 'standard' French dishes you expect to see on a menu, but you can tell they switch it up with more seasonal items such as the tomato salad. Makes me want to go back in the fall and winter to see what they are featuring then. Speaking of which - it would be a great place to go in the winter because of the beautiful fireplaces. I could see it being really cozy. And what's better than a glass of wine by the fire? I look forward to returning.

This is the coziest place to be in the winter! The vibes in here are perfect, and they serve the…read moreentire Chez Billy Sud menu, so you really can't go wrong. I had the steak frites, which was cooked to my preferred temperature (a rarity for steak frites) and the fries were perfectly crispy. All of the wines we had were delicious, and I can't wait to come back and try the burger!

Dear reader, Maxwell…read morePark is exactly the sort of charming little wine bar that makes an ordinary evening feel rather more sophisticated than it had any right to be. The wine list is enormous, with plenty of options whether you know exactly what you like or prefer to experiment a bit. During our visit, they were running a back-to-school theme with clever head-to-head comparisons of similar wines. You could order half glasses of each and taste them side by side, which made the whole experience feel fun, approachable, and slightly educational without becoming terribly serious about it. There is a good amount of seating inside, plus a lovely patio with fire pits that makes lingering especially tempting. The food menu is equally flexible, ranging from simple chips for snacking to a full burger for dinner, with more indulgent options like caviar and Champagne if the evening calls for a little grandeur. Everyone was incredibly nice, and we had such a relaxed, enjoyable time. A wonderful spot for wine, conversation, and a proper little hangout.

This place has been here forever, and I have walked by it so many times. A friend finally invited…read moreme out and it was such a blast! Every wine I tried was something totally new. They were on the tail end of their winter menu, and the sparkling wine that my friend was super excited about was phased out. But I just told the staff what kind of wine I was in the mood for and they chose something wonderful for me. I took pictures of the bottles, I'll track those down and post them later. I'm glad I managed to find red and white wines that I enjoyed. I also noticed that they had a crunchwrap on their menu and I had to try it. It was smaller than I thought, but the flavors going on?? Spectacular. There will also these dumplings... SWEET POTATO DUMPLINGS! And they had sage and candied walnuts. Ultimately they tasted more like a dessert, but I was obsessed with those and loved how unique they were. I'd return here, there's just too much good stuff to try! Can get pricey if you want to try a lot of wines, though.

Amelie had been on my radar for some time and I finally stopped by on a recent Monday around 7:15…read morePM. The place was busy, but not packed, and I got a table without a reservation. I tried the Beef Tartare ($19) which came with a quail egg and sunchoke chips on top, a small side salad, and a large bread basket. The tartare was good and the bread was great. For an entree, the Trout à la Grenobloise ($33) was great. It came with mashed potatoes, green beans, almonds, and caper-lemon-brown butter sauce. It was a really nicely cooked piece of fish. The restaurant was larger and the decor more modern than I expected. I also didn't realize it was part of a small chain, with locations in NYC and SF. Service was a little slow at first, but then fine. Overall, a nice, classic French meal.

They were very accommodating and friendly even before we sat down. We had an error with our…read morereservation, and they helped us out, and we only waited about 15 minutes before a table that worked freed up. We were a little squished but couldn't complain. The restaurant itself is decently large with very nice decor. It is definitely on the nicer and intimate side of things but can be decently noisy. Our waitress was very nice and helped give some quick recommendations on their wine list. The food and wine were pretty good, all very enjoyable. - The escargot was delicious - The French onion soup had a healthy amount of melted cheese on top, just a touch salty, but I still enjoyed it greatly. Great wine selection that you cannot go wrong with. Was shocked to see it in DC as I frequent the one in SF. It did not disappoint.
