2nd of 2 representing January 2023 is Clyde's of Chevy Chase. It was Martin Luther King Day 2023…read more I had off work that day, and we were celebrating a friend's birthday, who birthday was slightly earlier. Service was great. Food was good per normal for Clyde's. I think I had the chicken sandwich for the Monday happy hour special, but I don't quite remember. I just know I enjoyed the food. This was my only time at this location. I had been to Alexandria location the most when lived around there in 2010's. This location has nice decor of various sea vessels and aquatic themes. All the locations of Clyde's are pretty nice, but this may have been nicest in my opinion. My friend & I paid for half of the birthday friend's meal. She already had a couple of beers at the bowling alley beforehand. She had ordered a bottle of wine for the table. Ok fine, it was her birthday celebration. I had a glass, my friend had a glass, and she had the rest of the bottle. Wine was good. She was a bit inebriated. But it gets worse... So, we are getting through our meals. And she explains to the server, I'll take ANOTHER BOTTLE. We were VERY concerned. My friend & I drank more this time to prevent her from drinking so much, but we weren't happy. We were all kind of buzzed, but she was flat out drunk. We had picked her up, so at least she was never driving as she was in no condition whatsoever to drive. Then, I had take her back to her parent's house, where her car was. I didn't feel comfortable, and her parents could tell she was in no condition to drive. Her parents were visibly upset, and it was awkward for us. Her dad drove her car, and her mom drove her own car back to her condo 3 miles away. It was a long ordeal that night. But in summary, Clyde's itself did a great job per usual and also on the house birthday dessert too was nice treat.

I was craving simple bar food at a place with outdoor seating and found all I needed at Dog Haus in…read moreVan Ness. For good service, know how to offer properly (at the kiosk or using the QR code at your table) and be patient. Times are tough for us all and not every restaurant will be fully staffed. We came on a busy Friday night, but we were kind to the bartender who was the only one making drinks for a restaurant full of people inside and out. Pick a beer from their long list of offerings (easily numbered 1 to 24 on tap) and sit back and enjoy. Five stars for the food: a deliciously crispy and juicy chicken sandwich and classic cheesy tater tots.

I've visited the Dog Haus 5 times now. It's in a great location with a dog-friendly space…read more Yesterday I was seated outside and tried to use the QR code to order, but when I put my card through and it never registered my order. I tried again and again. Finally I went inside to ask the bartender to place my order. GUESS WHAT?- No bartender or wait staff to be found. I waited for someone to come out and finally had to bang on the kitchen door to get someone. I know you are trying to save money by having a bare bones staff, but if you want to keep people coming in, HIRE A FEW KNOWLEDGABLE BARTENDERS. & ENOUGH WAIT STAFF. Also, it's so obvious your ordering system has problems, so get the bartenders and wait staff to take orders.

The food is good - love the poke and you really can't go wrong with any of the tacos, quesadillas or salads. One note - servings are getting smaller and smaller. Really, Millie's could do better. But service is always great, mostly by friendly college kids. Generous pours, local crowd (mostly), and I guess if you can't be in Nantucket, this isn't all that bad a substitute. If you're local, you'll run into lots of people you know.

I was thinking Italian. I'm Eddie Cano comes up in a lot of searches of 'best Italian restaurants'…read morein the district. I went Saturday evening, made a reservation. I have been to the neighborhood before but not this particular location. I arrive a bit early and get a table immediately. The restaurant is on the dark side so you have to tip your menu toward the table light. I was in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs ( not on the menu) but the waitress took the order without a problem. I also ordered garlic bread. She brought a glass of water and I decided on a glass of wine, pinot noir I think. The garlic bread and wine arrive quick. I'm enjoying the first piece of garlic bread and sipping the wine. Nice! The spaghetti and meatballs came out shortly thereafter. I was a disappointed with this part of the meal. Meatballs lacked flavor. No garlic, no parmesan cheese. The pasta was fine but the sauce was watery and didn't taste like gravy at all. I ate most of it, the garlic bread accenting the meal with the wine. I will probably go back. I like the small mom and pop restaurants like I'm Eddie Cano. Service was very good. I was able to get a reservation. The place was clean. It's coming up on comfort food season and I'm always in the mood for Italian.

Food We ordered a variety of $3.00 tacos, which included carne asada, carnitas, and birria. The tacos were pretty good, with the carnitas being my favorite. Additionally, I ordered a mango margarita off the Happy Hour menu for $7.00. The drink was good before my daughter spilled it. 3.5/5 Service The restaurant was not especially busy, but the food did take a while. We ordered chips and salsa and never received them, but weren't charged either. Staff was friendly and did come out to check on us once in a while. 3.5/5 Ambiance The restaurant has a nice bar in the back and quite a few tables. The noise level was reasonable to enjoy the food. 3.5 Overall, the 3321 Bistro experience was fine. The price was the big selling point before and remained the star. The rest of the menu might be better, but it's worth it on Tuesdays. 3.5/5

They had a special prix-fixed menu for Valentine's Day priced at $98 per person. I thought this was a great deal considering how much food they serve you. My wife also got the wine pairing for $45- you get four glasses of wine, so it's a good deal. Natalia was our waitress and she was great. She was very friendly and service as usual was spot on. I opted for a la carte and got our usual Grilled Spiced Wild Calamari - still delicious and the Pappardelle. This is one of my favorite dishes here. Most of the pasta dishes here are really good, so you can't go wrong with any of those selections. For the special Valentine's Day menu, the Beef Tartare & Smoked Bone Marrow and the Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo was definitely the highlight of the evening. The beef tartare was sitting on top of the bone marrow, and they served a really large piece of bone marrow! The Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo needs to be on the regular menu- it was that good. The lobster tasted like it was cooked sous-vide because it was so light and tender. This dish also came with Key West Shrimp. The Squid Ink Tagliatelle pasta was al dente - just perfect. There is a parking garage underneath the building. They do provide parking validation.

We arrived for brunch around 10:30 on sunday and it was pretty empty, before the rush, Food is consistently good here but service is lacking - usually if I have to get up during a meal to find the server, that will show in my tip - it can be difficult for a server to cover a large area, I get it, but this sunday it was pretty empty and I still had to get up to find the server after waiting for a long time. I had the brined fried chicken with buckwheat waffle. the brined chicken is heavenly - oh so good. but a buckwheat waffle? is this an attempt at making good ol' food hearkening back to some tradition? I don't get it. give me the buttermilk waffle. I had to get up because they forgot the cinnamon powdered sugar as described on the menu. IMO they were pretty dismissive about it - wth, the menu explicitly includes this. Yeah Ill go back. it aint cheap.

Silver is an American style bistro in the Cathedral Heights area…read more I dined here on a Monday night recently after an evening service. I got quick and friendly service the entire evening and my food came out shocking fast. I ordered one of the house made sodas - strawberry kiwi - which was outstanding.

The pasta didn't knock my socks off but it was tasty. The menu is expansive so it's the type of place where everyone can find something they'll like. And the dining room is so large that taking big groups here would be easy.

Yikes. I'm generously giving them a 2 because their food and drink was solid... once we received…read morethem. But you can get solid food anywhere. I just don't want to pull the chef into this abomination of an experience. I'm an Equinox member (one floor below) and live in the Palisades nearby so I'd been curious to check this place out since the photos online intrigued me. I've been eating and drinking in DC for the last 16 years and The Ridge Club bar and restaurant provided the worst service I've experienced anywhere. I came in with two other female friends around 7pm on a Saturday night. There were 4 people at a bar, and 1 table of 4 in the entire restaurant. Pretty quiet for a Saturday night, to say the least. We waited at the bar for 10 minutes (not an exaggeration) while the bartender ignored us, it appeared he was working on a tab. He looked up for a second and I asked if we could have a drink menu, he looked away. There was no hostess at the entrance of the restaurant to ask for anything, and no menus just laying around for us to grab. 5 more minutes passed, and my friends and I tried to figure out what to do. It was a last-minute choice to come to The Ridge Club, so we knew all decent places wouldn't have reservations available, and I didn't feel like getting back in the car and driving us elsewhere, so we decided to try and stick it out. Two more people came in, and the bartender went straight to them, and asked if he could get them anything to drink. This now brings the total at the bar to 6 people. Still very empty. I ask him again if we can have the drink menu and he lightly tossed it to me, still with no words, then disappeared. It was shocking, and at this point, laughable. What was going on?! The behavior felt downright snooty, which is not a common experience I personally have in DC, but the air of ... I can't really put my finger on it.... distaste (?) for us was reeking from the bartender. We had just been silently standing there, and for lack of better description, it felt like he didn't want to serve us specifically, which I can't say is an experience I've had before. The bartender then was nowhere to be found, and another man came out and asked for our drink order. He took our order and the drinks were handed to us a few minutes later. This is after 20-25 minutes waiting. This man made a comment that we could use the little straws they just got in for our drink, but "don't worry, they're not little coke-type straws or anything [not something that had crossed my mind, that I'd be using the straws for cocaine that night, but I digress], so you should try them out." Is it not common to use short straws with small cocktails...? Just added to the weirdness of the place. We had our drinks outside, which despite it being a super-beautiful location, was totally empty (can't imagine why! had others experienced the same service we had?), and since we'd already told a friend of ours to meet us there for dinner, we committed to the dining. The same original bartender was also our server, so he had to acknowledge us! Success! The food itself was good. The service left much to be desired. It felt as though we were an irritation to him (and as one of three tables with people at it, in an empty restaurant), I'm having a hard time understanding this. This place is gorgeous. Beautiful rooftop, nice ambience. Good food, good drink, TERRIBLE service. I frequently upper NW DC restaurants and bars and have a lot of friends who do, as well, and I was especially hoping for a positive experience since I workout at Equinox several times a week and thought this could be a great place to go afterward occasionally. I have several friends considering joining the club (for the pool). I will advise them otherwise, if the service does not change. Not that I'll be coming back any time soon to try it. If City Ridge Club wants to be a presence with those of us in Upper NW DC, the server needs to drop the attitude. My friends and I left after dinner, laughing about if maybe he just didn't like us (?), was he just in a bad mood? Did he not feel like working that night? It became an ongoing joke, because he was just SO rude and I still am appalled that we waited nearly 20-25 minutes for a drink. Not sure there's much else to say... hope this changes. It's too bad. Had a lot of potential. Don't be so snobby.
