The food was amazing and the service was excellent. My friends and I went for brunch and ordered the bottomless mimosas which was a great deal for only $16! I believe our waiter was Tom... bald guy with glasses? He was awesome, I can't say enough good things about him. He recommended yummy things on the menu like the huevos rancheros as well as the Boston cream pie. We will definitely be going back!
We stumbled upon District Commons after another restaurant nearby wanted to seat us outside at 95 degrees. After 3 minutes of melting and with Kennedy Center tickets, sweating like crazy was not happening.
We walked up the block and around the corner and District Commons had no problems seating us in at an inside air conditioned table. What followed was simply amazing! My wife ordered the scallops dish and I ordered the meat loaf. My wife said the scallops were the best she has ever eaten. My meat loaf was very good as well. We ordered the pretzel with beer mustard. It was simply awesome!
Edwin was a spectacular server and we both highly recommend him.
A new regular dining establishment pre Kennedy Center events.
Modern eatery with a menu to match. We arrived during brunch and the menu was varied enough to please everyone. The cocktail, beer and wine list was quite extensive, and because it was brunch, there were also bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. The restaurant has a cool vibe with concrete and wood accents. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The atmosphere was welcoming and there were many people enjoying the bar scene here
The food was fantastic. We had the shrimp and grits, the pasta and the rootbeer pork chop. Everything was flavorful, interesting, new and delicious.
Late review: I came for DC restaurant week. The skirt steak was good. Had to pay extra on top of the normal restaurant week price. The soups were good. I would come here just for the savory butternut squash bisque! Highly recommend the soup. I'll be back for the soup!
I’d say this was a decent meal, but not mind-blowing. The cocktails were good. Overall it was a bit overpriced. We split a couple appetizers, the lamb chop special, and the key lime pie. The pie was the best part :)
A very popular place in the Foggy Bottom area, you need to make reservations if you want a table. However, if you are on your own or in a small group, the seats at the bar seem to turn over quickly. I only stopped in for a quick drink and bite to eat but I found the atmosphere and decor fun and lively. The staff were very helpful and engaging. They have a varied drink menu here and a good wine selection. Be forewarned, the Denizens Third Party Triple on tap, strong! They also offer a great Happy Hour selection at very reasonable prices.
Came here for a Saturday brunch. The staff was hospitable, restaurant clean and food was good. Huge drink list which is always good too with lots of specialty cocktails. The brunch pretzels were a steal and I loved the flatbread.
District Commons is a great place to enjoy dinner or happy hour near GWU. This restaurant can become very busy particularly the bar area. District Commons has some very good happy hours which may be why. They also have oysters on the half. Districts Common has a variety of dinner offerings from hanger steak to salmon. My steak was cooked to order and the asparagus was a good accompaniment. The only downside was the service was spotty and our server disappeared so we were left without water or refills.
Food was presented wonderfully but some dishes (like the ravioli) lacked flavor. The service and atmosphere here was excellent. Pretzel bread was my favorite appetizer and the scallops were good as well.
Great food! Great service! Great beer! It can get really loud in there but...it's hoppin' instead of dreary. The place is set up really well and the menu is a twist on comfort food. The shrimp and grits, portobella mushroom, brick pressed chicken, and the tagliatelle are all recommendations my pallet makes to you! Wash it down with an Anderson Valley Summer Solstice (Cream Ale) and you'll be a happy camper, too! Great place to go before a show at the Kennedy Center.
This was a great place and setting for brunch. There were a lot of food options and bottomless is always a must. The waitstaff was helpful and attentive. The shrimp and grits was amazing!
