Mintwood Place

First I’d say that Micki, our waitress was the sweetest and most caring ever. She clearly knows how to provide an excellent service. Following her recommendation, i took the LEG OF LAMB - (grilled leg steak, zucchini, hibiscus yogurt, mint + cumin relish) which was very rich and tasty s My colleague took MINTWOOD BURGER - (bacon, cheddar, pickled lettuce roulade, marie rose sauce, house cut fries or frisée salad) and said it was fantastic. My other colleague, took The MUSSELS (salt cod, smoked lemon, bacon, fennel, house cut fries) judging by how quick he finished it, clearly that he loved it to . My friend who took ROASTED HALF CHICKEN (roasted baby vegetables, jus de poult) says it tasted good however it didn’t looking very appealing (especially The chicken actually hand . The only thing we didn’t like was the CHOCOLATE TART - strawberry bubbles, puffed brown rice, smoked sweet cream. We felt that the smoke cream flavor was too dominant and overtook the flavor of the chocolate.

Delicious food, yummy cocktails, and kind staff. The Florence Benedict was the only just okay meal that we got. Everything else was stand out! The spinach was a little mushy. The homemade ricotta dish was absolutely worth it! The salmon toast was yummy. My fiance really loved the burger and it's highly loved by many!

Excellent stop for us on our short DC trip! Very glad we chose to come here. Excellent service—very friendly! We ordered the arancini—so good, very crunchy, special mention to the arancini sauce—think hummus but much much better! Great green salad, loved the fresh pears and pecans. For my main, got the pappardelle with truffle butter and mushrooms—pretty solid, just hoped it would be more creamy and little less chewy (I’ll give this specifically a 7/10). Last super special mention: ricotta cheese, I’ve never had better cheese before! That paired with the beets and the bread—so scrumptious!!

I had a solid brunch experience here on Sunday at 1 pm. The brunch special is a nice deal - $26 for an appetizer and entree, with a large drip coffee or juice. A mimosa or Bloody Mary is an additional $6. It's a good ratio of sparkling wine to juice as well. My friends and I all enjoyed our meals - I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and compressed fruit salad (so good, wish it was larger!). The atmosphere was nothing spectacular and indoors it does get rather warm and noisy. They do have a great outdoor setup with extensive seating under tents for shade. My friend who lives in the neighborhood and has been a few times says it's consistently good.

Mintwood Place has a very nice community restaurant feel. There is a bar and separate seating for regular diners. The food is consistently good. On a recent visit I had the burger at the bar. The burger included some perfectly cooked bacon with cheese. The server offered a salad or fries. The only downside to the burger was that it was dry perhaps from the bun. I do not like an over saucy burger, but this one just was not so juicy. Nonetheless, this is a good place to visit for a decent meal in the Adams Morgan area.
