    Georgia Brown’s in Washington, DC, provided an unforgettable dining experience. We visited for a double date with my husband’s twin brother and his wife, and the romantic atmosphere set the perfect tone. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and were seated promptly, even though we arrived five minutes early. Our waiter was attentive and offered great recommendations. The appetizers—deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes—were a pleasant surprise. I’m usually not a fan of fried green tomatoes, but these were perfectly breaded and fried. For the main course, I had the red snapper, which was served whole with the head on, perfectly seasoned, and the meat was light and flaky. My husband and brother-in-law enjoyed the lamb chops, which they said were cooked to perfection, and my sister-in-law praised the salmon. We also loved the fruit punch mocktail and peach cobbler for dessert. The combination of delicious food, cozy ambiance, and excellent service made for a memorable evening. My brother-in-law said I picked a great spot, and we’ll definitely be returning!

    We had an incredible dining experience at Hen Quarter Prime. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. The lighting was just right—cozy but not too dim—while the soft background music added to the relaxing ambiance. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made excellent recommendations. The food was the real star of the night—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, which was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with a glass of wine. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot, a place to catch up with friends, or just a great meal in a welcoming setting, Hen Quarter Prime is a must-visit. We will definitely be coming back.

    Oh my god. I was hesitant to go here at first because of a few negative reviews I read. But, I went and let me tell you, I’ll be going back. From start to finish, everything & everybody was fantastic. The food was delish; came out fast and it was hot; the waitress was attentive and friendly; the ambiance was 100. Can’t say enough good things about YardBird. I’m just glad i didn’t base my experience off of other reviews. Go! You won’t regret it.
