Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Washington

Love the decor of the restaurant and the private booths are so nice and comfortable. The service is outstanding. Our meals were delicious , we had the sticky rice salmon, NY strip steak, meatloaf special and the perch……which was a very generous portion. The best part is they make an excellent martini!

We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.

Food was excellent. Server was Robert - great.

Food was amazing. Parking in the underground lot with free validation was lovely. My 50 year old ears thought the music played was ok. My 20 year old daughter liked that it wasn’t “stuffy.”

RH House never disappoints. It was a being Saturday night, but the food and service were excellent. The prime rib was cooked medium rare as requested. The chicken piccata was tender and flavorful. The clam chowder could have used more clam juice or seafood stock and less potatoes, but I cook my own and I'm picky. 😂 the Mile High Carrot Cake is always delicious. Thank you.
