Tuscarora Mill's owners and chef have created a winning pizza restaurant by opening Fire Works in Leesburg in 2006. Next comes our "city-fied" addition of the ultimate pizzeria and bar. How do we do it? Great pizzas from the five-ton wood fired oven , a s

Loved the steak salad- it had a really good quality steak and lots of it. People liked their pizzas a lot. Service was quick and we had a lot of us to feed at once. The crew goes here often because food quality is generally high and prices are reasonable.

We stopped in for a drink prior to dinner. We had hoped to sit on the patio and all the outdoor tables were occupied. Our server said she would keep an eye out and try to move us if one opened up. Our seat inside was just fine. The room is cozy and comfortable. We stuck to wine. However, the cocktail menu looked like it had some fun options.Sure enough, a table opened up outdoors as we finished our first glasses. We decided to stay for another glass to enjoy the outdoor table. The patio is not large, but private and pleasant on a nice Spring evening. If we didn't have reservations for dinner we probably would have chosen to stay at Quill and try the food.

This location was near our hotel so we enjoyed brunch before heading out for the day. Enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere and menu options. Opted for the omelet with black beans and avocado and also recommend the sweet potato pancakes. Coffee was delicious and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

I call this a great hotel bar since I was staying there.However, I recommend visiting if in the area. I met a few folks who were staying nearby but came to this place instead of the competition. Bar seating is limited but there is plenty of small tables around the Doyle. I had a little difficulty to get initial drinks both nights that I was there but, once served, service was good.Like any upscale DC bar, drink costs are not buck a beer. However, this is not a pounding drinks bar either. There are nice customers to strike up conversations so coming alone is not an issue.Dear oldstocks, Thank you for visiting us at Doyle Bar and for staying with us at The Dupont Circle Hotel. We hope you enjoyed our time with us and will stay with us again in the future. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the service at Doyle Bar but also want to offer our sincere apologies for any delay in service that you experienced. Thank you for recommending us as a great upscale DC bar, a great place to visit for a solo drink or to meet new people. We look forward to your next visit so we can craft you some more excellent cocktails. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to plan your next visit to Doyle Bar at [email protected] Regards,Nitin TitusFood and Beverage Manager

The food and the atmosphere here for a recent Sunday brunch with friends were amazing. The Shirlington Village has many good options, but I am glad we chose Palette 22 on this day. Our waiter was so friendly and efficient. The small plates allowed us to try many different items. A special thanks to our waiter for helping make it a wonderful experience for all of us. I can't remember his name, but he mentioned he was listening to the Beatles music chronologically, which I thought was cool.

Opened in 1963, Clyde's of Georgetown qualifies as an institution. This animated tavern in the heart of Washington's most famous neighborhood popularized saloon food and practically invented Sunday brunch. More than 50 years later, Clyde's continues the t
Reviewed By Paul O
An old time DC standby, Clydeâs continues to deliver charming saloon style ambiance, cheerful service, extensive menus, well prepared food and excellent value. The bar can get out of hand on a Saturday night, but that is to be expected in Georgetown. The crab cakes in any form are consistent winners, but seafood in general is outstanding. Excellent value.

Our flight was delayed today and we spent the day at the airport. One benefit that ensued however, was having lunch at Legal. The service was ok, but both the fried scallops and the crab cake sandwich were really good. It is nice to have a real restaurant with great food inside the airport.

There's so much history at this tavern. Make sure you ask for the brochure that tells you all about it and the famous people who have eaten here. There was a bit of a mix up after we were seated and we had to ask the waiter to take out order. After that snafu, it was all good. We shared the petite crab crakes (more like crab rolls) and they were delicious. The sauce didn't match the description though. It was supposed to be mandarin. It tasted like thousand island dressing. I had the French onion soup and they rave that it's the best in DC. There was lots of cheese on top and really quite tasty. It probably is the best.
