    Good restaurant

    În our first night in Washington we visit this restaurant. I suggest that try specifically American soup. Also grilled shrimp with pasta and garlic was ok. Good restaurant and reasonable price

    Great find!

    My wife and I tried Grillfish our first night in DC and it was wonderful. We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the nice weather. I had the swordfish and it was amazing. The wait staff was excellent! Very nice find!

    Pricey, small portions, lovely food!

    Nice gem, lovely food! Portions are very small but you can taste more than one dish at least. Not an affordable at all but good for a very romantic dinner. Decor is exceptional!!! Staff is so kind and the bread and butte is a delight!

    I was alone while travelling and actually felt very safe everywhere I went. Several restaurants have happy hour specials, but I don't drink so I really could not recommend a specific place.
