    Turkey BLT and potato wedges.
    Torya M.

    I must say I love this place after visiting twice and ordering the same meal. I ordered the Turkey BLT wrap add cheese and dijon mustard. On my 1st visit I ordered the wrap only but now on my 2nd visit I ordered it with potato wedges. I enjoyed it all and the potato wedges were well seasoned. The staff are friendly and inviting, the restaurant is spacious with outdoor seating, and they serve alcohol. That's right ALCOHOL and some for $5! I do enjoy the personal touch the staff provides when your order is ready. They will bring it to you with an "enjoy your meal" when you depart. Will be my go-to when I'm in the mood for cheap eats on my lunch break and if I'm feeling a little spicy I'll order a clearwater margarita ($5) or a Tito's to go!

    Mushroom Florentine

    I have passed this place so many times on the weekend, and it has always been closed. I made a mental note to stop in on a weekday for lunch. The cafe is really spacious and rather darkly lit. There were not many people inside dining. About a third of the cafe was being used to pack box lunches, so I'm guessing they must do a decent amount of catering. The lady at the register was very friendly and offered suggestions. The price of the food was pretty cheap compared to other fast lunch spots. I ordered the Mushroom Florentine wrap with goat cheese. The flavor was great! But the wrap got really soggy almost immediately. I only had a 3 minute walk back to my office, but the wrap was already really wet and drippy by the time I got back. It made the wrap really messy to eat! This detail aside, the food was yummy and filling. It only cost $10 for a substantial lunch. I would come back again and try another menu item.

    Catfish sandwich was great. Fries not crispy enough.

    Impressively delicious catfish sandwich. Nice outdoor seating. Smooth service. Will go back!

    This was catered for my work. First, I'll start with the highlights. The tomato basil soup was absolutely delicious. The flavor was very rich and it warmed your organs with the first spoonful. Perfect for the chilly weather. I was also very impressed with what came in the catering box. There is everything you need for a full meal besides the sandwich, such as the salad and the Blondie for dessert, as well as condiments, a napkin, utensils, and a hand wipe for cleaning. Even though I was very much looking forward to the sandwich, I found it a bit lacking. The pesto wasn't very flavorful, and despite it being on the sandwich, I found the sandwiches bread to be a bit dry. I also felt that there was a disproportionate amount of bread relative to the rest of the sandwich. I understand that this is a café and they're probably not used to such wide and large orders, but overall I probably would go to a different sandwich shop if I'm looking for a sandwich.

    Knew I loved this place from the moment I told the cashier my meal was 'for here' and she said 'ok, I'll bring it to you with silverware, don't get the plastic' - I can't tell you how much I appreciate that as we all need to be a more cognizant of our waste (especially plastic) usage. Cloth napkins were a nice touch as well. Now on to the food.... I had the Egg and Smoked Gouda, add avocado, side of Fruit. What I really wanted was the fried chicken biscuit, add egg with home fries....but that will have to wait for another time. The sandwich was delicious. The Gouda was super tasty and the avocado set this baby off! Very high quality food, in the heart of DC, at a good price - highly, highly recommend this place!

    Some of the highest quality food available for lunch in this area (west end to 17th street area). I work in the area and have tried much of the competition. They focus on higher quality ingredients and to charge for products that way. I will be back soon to try the coffee (another reviewer mentioned it was great). They emphasis things are made from scratch and in house. I ordered the Turkey BLT ($9.5) with 'in House Roasted Koch Farm's Turkey Breast, Applewood Smoke Bacon & Mayo'. This is a high end sandwich and it tasted that way (the care of ingredients, quality of bread). They put the sandwich with some salad in the container, I like that touch (see photos). Delicious and solid sandwich, enjoyed it. Pricing: As mentioned in some other reviews the pricing is to be discussed. I really enjoyed my Turkey BLT and would return to get it again, however is $9.50 the right price for it? I think $9.50 including chips is the right approach (I bought Route 11 chips with the Turkey BLT). You have to find balance - on the one hand we want restaurants to focus on quality (what they use, how they make it) yet this area of DC has extremely high lunch competition (dinner not so much). The pricing is not that far off, we joke that most lunches cost about $10 in this part of DC (no matter where you go) however if you grab a sandwich and chips (with tax this will push them into the higher end pricing. Either way I will return, the TBLT was outstanding.

A five-minute walk towards downtown from the Mayflower hotel made Tatte Bakery an ideal spot for breakfast. It also has nice views of Farragut Square. I went with the House Full breakfast that included Applewood bacon, eggs, potato fritters with tomato jam and mint parmasean, and house made sourdough. I was curious to try one of their best sellers - monkey bread, and it didn't disapoint. A solid breakfast with on point service before catching the metro to Virginia. I really enjoyed my visit here and would return in a heartbeat.

The coffee shop is on the first floor, and offers delicious hot and cold drinks along with a beautiful selection of pastries. This time I enjoyed a cappuccino, and it was spot on. I can't speak for the pastries, but they looked good. The cafe has a cozy/might-overhear-a-state-secret vibe. If you're a visitor to D.C. and reading this, I'd say if you want to sit down and enjoy a coffee in a place with a comfortable atmosphere and handy location, give it a go. Just be aware that it's a bit pricier than what you'd pay at Tatte, and there are fewer choices. This was my second time here, and I would return. On the second floor of the space, you'll find the restaurant Cafe du Parc. I was very excited to eat here. The atmosphere was nice, in a light-filled, non-pretentious way. On the day I was there, there was construction going on and scaffolding on the front of the building that blocked the views of Pennsylvania Avenue. The restaurant was loud, and it was hard to have a conversation. Service was fast and the food came out even faster. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the food was just "meh." This was super disappointing as the prices were a bit high and I was looking to splurge on a nice lunch with a friend. The one thing I wasn't looking for was to be charged $5 (each) for "still water," which I'm not convinced wasn't from the tap. To be fair, the table adjacent to us was having burgers, fries, and other sandwiches, and it looked a lot better than my flavorless Nicoise Salad. My friend had the Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pastry, and said it was good. I'm going to be super generous and give the restaurant a 3 and assume maybe I made a poor choice with my sad salad and the noise level was because it was very busy (Cherry Blossom Season). This was my first time here, and I likely would opt to try a different restaurant next time.

    I had such high hopes here. Solid 3.5 stars…read more 1. Reservation: they require it despite it is half empty 2.
