Concierge "This lively Penn Quarter Indian restaurant makes a contemporary statement with its decor (tamarind hues, clean lines, blond wood) and menu (a lighter, healthier take on traditional dishes from across India)."
Travel + Leisure "The menu has such dishes as tandoori lamb chops, chicken biryani, and chicken green masala." Full review
Zagat ""Only superlatives" describe the "mind-blowing" "modern Indian" food that gives diners a "mouthgasm" at this "wildly popular", "classy" Penn Quarter destination." Full review
BlackBook "Be forewarned. The inventive cocktails and chatty bartender may tempt you into trading your table for a liquid dinner, but that would be a huge mistake."

Frommer's "This 50-year-old restaurant near Georgetown University draws from its upper-crust neighborhood of media types, socialites, politicians, and corporate execs." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Chef Anthony Lombardo's roast pheasant and Carolina red snapper are served on Limoges china and silver, and the whole affair is warmed by fireplaces and a gas chandelier." Full review
Zagat ""White gloves and pearls" might suit this "distinguished" Georgetown "classic" with a "refined", "historic" townhouse setting and "expertly prepared" "farm-to-table" New American cooking." Full review
BlackBook "Ye olde colonial dining room imbues Georgetown ethos in a walnut shell. Baroque on the outside, ceremonial on the inside."
Gayot15.0

DK Eyewitness "Chef Dan Giusti, one of Washington’s premier chefs, makes a creative use of seasonal ingredients."
Michelin Guide "Start with the foie gras or beef crudo two ways and move on to a main course of Alaskan halibut or rack of lamb."
Time Out "Georgetown’s 1789, site of countless graduation fêtes and anniversary dinners, is evocative of a Washington of old, when men wore ties and women smiled and nodded." Full review
