Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Washington

The Park at 14th was a great experience! The vibes were so lively, the music was a 10/10 played all the good hits (hip hop, rap, rnb, Caribbean). The food was really good, and worth the price, the mimosas were more champagne then juice/flavor so if ordering different flavors you wont really be able to tell the difference! the service was good, our waitress was nice, attentive and gave us complimentary shots. The music and energy is definitely loud, so if thats not ur vibe then it may not be the place for you, but you will have a good time! they make sure of that of course being that the food and mimosas are unlimited!

Did not realize it is really a sports bar when booking. So, of course it is noisy. Nice selection menu. Food was quite good. Prices appropriate to the menu. As it got busier, our waitress disappeared trying to deal with a lot of tables. Luckily someone else came along and took our dessert order. The lava cake was mediocre; the menu said berries but there were none, only a not very good berry sauce. Decent wine list although beer is probably more popular.

Was trying to find as closest as possible place to National Theatre. This place is new and it was not as obviously visible from the street but otherwise we enjoyed it. The brisket sandwich was delicious. Our service was fast and attentive by Andrew.

Mother’s Day Tea was beautiful. I am pleased with the event and will come back in the future. I was also happy that parking was validated.

The only thing that turned me off was that every table around me were greeted by a server or performers. We had to ask for someone to come and explain to us how to order and what would make our first visit more enjoyable. Now that I’ve “experienced” the restaurant, I will know what to do and not waste 45 minutes trying to figure out how to order and not miss more performances. Since time was limited to two hours, I was worried that we would not have enough time to eat or drink. After placing an order we waited an additional 30+ minutes for our first drink to arrive then our food. Wasn’t sure if we had enough time to order a second drink, which we did but had to drink it fast as our two hour dining experience was over.
