Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Washington

We were pleasantly surprised by the food at Lumen. We’d heard the restaurant was more about location than food so my expectations were low. However, everything we ate was delicious! Do not skip the cookie butter banana pie!

We tried 6 dishes plus dessert (pavlova) and everything tasted great. The service was also great, never had to ask for a water refill, very attentive. The music was a little loud, but not terrible. Will definitely go back!

Love this restaurant. The food and the service never disappoint. It’s always a little loud, but you can still carry on a conversation. The tomato basil soup was excellent, as well as the Chicken Piccata. The truffle fries are always a must!

Brilliant Sommelier, great service, very attentive. Food was very good.

Had the stuffed pork chops..looked super and tasted even better, also the shrimp appetizer was very good..each one was huge.
