Restaurants near St. Aloysius Church

This was a tremendous meal, and a can't-miss restaurant when visiting Washington D.C. It was my wife and I, and we shared six plates: hummus, falafel, rice pilaf/barley, fried eggplant, brussels sprouts and (essentially) french fries. We were uncomfortably full when leaving, and this ran us a whopping $72 dollars before tip. Obviously if we had gotten drinks or wine, the price would have gone up considerably, but I can't imagine this kind of quality food in a metro area for $36/person in 2024. Plus endless homemade pita that was a cross between pita and naan was provided -- crazy delicious. The french fries had a house-made mushroom salt with a yogurt dipping sauce. The serving size on those were substantial, but basically they were just outstanding french fries. In terms of going for authentic Mediterranean food, we could have swapped this out for something else, but that was probably more our fault than theirs just having something a little more neutral on the menu for less-adventurous eaters. The other five items were all significantly above average, with my favorite being the sprouts and my wife favoring the barley/pilaf. Also, the speed with which we got through our meal was noteworthy -- one hour as they rotated through plates one at a time. It was a well-oiled machine.

I recently hosted my team’s weekly meeting over breakfast at Ted’s Bulletin, NOMA, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we walked in, I was struck by the beautiful ambiance and chic décor—a perfect blend of modern sophistication and comfort that set the tone for a productive and enjoyable morning. The customer service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly for our group. They were welcoming and quick to accommodate any requests, making us feel right at home. Of course, the food was another highlight! From their hearty breakfast options to their creative coffee selections, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My team couldn’t stop raving about their dishes. If you’re looking for a spot that combines style, service, and substance, Ted’s Bulletin in NOMA is the place to go. It was the perfect venue for our meeting, and I’ll definitely be back—whether for business or just a relaxing meal. Highly recommend!

Super Restaraunt. Very good atmosphere, friendly wait staff, very good price point. Reservations are highly recommended as this is a local go-to. There are four bars in the restaurant, one in each corner. So, while this is a white linen dining experience, you must not think of it as posh or fine dining given the tavern extraordinaire atmosphere. It obviously has the DC charm of “Cheers” sans Norm and Sam, with a kicked up level regarding the dining. Very tasty meal, great selection of cuisine. I highly recommend OEG.

Overall, it was a great experience. Waitress was very attentive and professional. The bar was very slow for the restaurant side when it was busy in the bar area. The food was delicious. We had Streak Frittes and Coq au vin, both done to order and packed with flavor. Chocolate souffle and passion fruit sorbet absolute delights to finish the meal.

Some of the entres were a little tough but the pizzas were good and our watress was superb
