- CCarlosNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food here is absolutely amazing. We had to wait a while to be seated, but we were served a appetizer that was on the house. The service that we were given here was also amazing. They checked in on us until we got the table, and they were very kind. It wasn’t too loud, it was like any regular noise level in a restaurant. Overall, it was amazing there. 100% recommend.More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7
- BBernardWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAn awesome experience! Highly recommend and will be back. Made a reservation for lunch for a party of 6. We were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. We were seated in a back corner and it was very hot when we sat down. The management adjusted the temperature when we informed them. Three of us got the Chef’s Tasting Menu and I added the Wine Pairing for an extra $45. The others ordered off the lunch menu. We enjoyed everything and plenty of food with the Tasting Menu. Highly recommend!More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
- LLucyWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFilomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!More infoFilomena RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Georgetown•4.8
