• Mexican • Penn Quarter
Booked 36 times today
“Mi Vida” translates to “My Life.” However, in Mexico, “Mi Vida” means much more. “Mi Vida” is a term of endearment bestowed on close family and friends to signify love, care and importance. When one says, “Mi Vida,” they are telling someone special how much they mean to them. MI VIDA describes how we feel about our team and our guests. It is our expression of Mexican culture and cuisine as interpreted through the lens of Chef Roberto Santibañez. Our menu is rooted in the history and culinary tradition of Mexico while exploring the ever-changing boundaries of this vibrant and evolving cuisine.

• Ramen • Shaw
Booked 28 times today
Haikan is our second Sapporo Ramen shop in DC after Daikaya. Haikan means, “pipe works” in Japanese, an ode to Atlantic Plumbing Building where we are located. At Haikan, we focused on creating the taste of ramen from the showa period, the golden age of ramen in Japan. There are over 1000 ramen shops in the city of Sapporo alone, and we are excited to share a completely new line-up of traditional Sapporo style ramen in DC. In addition to ramen, we are serving a playful selection of Japanese-inspired kozara (small plates) to share, or to start with, or to make a whole meal of by picking a few of them. Haikan's bar serves a collection of Japanese-inspired cocktails, and a concentrated selection of Japanese sake, shochu, beer, whisky, and more.

    The food was really good! We went during lunch and the portions were great. We left feeling full and enjoyed the ambiance. We sat right next to the window which was nice and it was still warm. Great service, would certainly recommend for a quick bite or a sit down.

    Wonderful experience! My husband and our two friends made a reservation for a New Year’s Day brunch, we got a great table, but every table has adequate space between so you won’t be on top of another party no matter where you sit. There were coat hangers conveniently around all the tables. The staff is super attentive, professional, knowledgeable, while being kind and upbeat. Just like the ambiance and the staff, the food is incredible! From the coffee, the pastries, the mains, the drinks, the sides, there’s not a single bad bite, in fact, you’re more likely to say “this may be the best thing I’ve ever tried.” Couldn’t recommend this spot enough! Plenty of options that will impress those who like a special dish, but many familiar options that allow anyone to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and wonderfully run restaurant. I hope the staff is compensated well and their value is well known. This place wouldn’t have the level of charm it does without them!

    The Sovereign was an excellent find for us while visiting DC! At the end of a full day we wanted a nice dinner in the Georgetown area and this place was a gem. Great food (best mussels my wife has had) and delicious drinks (awesome Belgian beer selection) made for an outstanding dinner!

    I had a wonderful experience at Morton's....I took my 2 adult children their for a nice dinner during the holidays and everything was perfect. The service, the ambience, the food! Especially helpful was that the server completely understood and handled my son's food allergies perfectly. She made sure everything was safe for us and we were able to dine in a relaxed manner. Highly recommend!
