I love the Lamb Sandwich, house potatoes were crispy outside and creamy inside, sprinkled with finely sliced shallots (or spring onions). The Tempura Kale, OK, batter did not taste or crisp like tempura.
My guest liked the Orange Kefir (dessert). Flavor was very light and texture somewhat grainy.
Ethiopian wings were amazing. Bison burger was a lot more tender than I expected. Great lighting.
A must visit just ahead of sunset. Excellent, creative dishes. The owner makes you feel like family.
Visiting from LA and this was one of the few places in DC where I felt comfortable. There's enough diversity in there, you won't feel uncomfortable as a minority.
Bar had plenty of seating and it wasn't packed. Loved it.
Bartender was also the waiter. He was very attentive and kind. Drinks were good
This is a restaurant review, I can't speak for the bar. It's a good place, but I don't choose to go there when it's my call, as it's just not as good as the other options in the area. The service is always just a bit slow, the food is often a bit salty or a step below where it should be flavor-wise.
Took my Mom to Steel Plate for dinner.
First, when I explained that my Mom is hard of hearing, the hostess did her best to try to find us a quieter spot, which I appreciated.
Second - we were both really pleased/pleasantly surprised/impressed with the food. I had the duck tacos, Mom had the Trout,
This bar has the best vibe in Brookland. I always end up striking up a conversation with neighbors and other locals. The food is good and has some adventurous options inspired by cuisines all over the world (Congolese catfish, Mediterranean lamb, burgers, poutine, Ethiopian wings). Since they opened
Great spot for a drink and some well done food. Great drink selection, and the food is done with finesse. It's definitely a place in the neighborhood that doesn't get enough love. The decor and layout is by far the most refined of all the other Brookland locations.
Fantastic. Cool digs, small but decent beer list, but the food was what surprised me. Cauliflower grits were phenomenal, and the steel plate burger was fantastic. At medium rare, mine was delicious. My friend got hers medium well, which is a sin, but she got just what she asked for: an over cooked b
Very eclectic food. I've never seen a whole goat on the menu before. Apparently when it's ordered they have a pit in the back where they roast it and the amazing smell permeates the surrounding areas. The hostess has some great recommendations. It can get pretty loud with competing music, tv, an
It's nice to see more and more cool places popping up in Brookland, especially on 12th St. NE (as opposed to the brand new Art Walk off the metro). The vibe is really awesome and the decor is beautiful. We went on a Wednesday evening for dinner and it was pretty empty with the exception of the party
Laid back little spot in residential Brookland. Happy hour is currently 4 - 7 but the prices aren't that discounted. The menu is also really small. But it's a great neighborhood spot and you'll like everyone who works there and rolls in and out.
Rustic and fresh this place feels warm and welcoming. I enjoyed a few of the specials on their happy hour. They have alcoves on the side which create some privacy for people - a nice bonus.

Excellent place for a happy hour. Really great service!
I've only been here twice but each time was an enjoyable experience. Great bar food, down to earth bartenders, and a great social spot to chill or watch a football/basketball game. I aim to become a regular.
Walked into this really cool looking 2 level bar with the metal door in the BrookLand area on Thangiving Eve. The bartender Kenny made really great drinks that were nit expensive @ all. I got great conversation from the other patrons as well as the bartender and they played really great throwbck mus
