Darlington House

Enjoyed a meal there with my husband and 3 year old, kind of a last outing before the new baby. The staff was very warm and welcoming from the manager, to host, and wait staff. We sat downstairs, enjoyed live music, and was able to enjoy items off both menus. The mushroom Risotto was amazing and even better the next day, my son devoured his flatbread, and husband really enjoyed his meal (fish special of some sort, smelled and looked great). There are numerous dining options these days, and hospitality is rare. My server Sean and the rest of the staff really hit it out of the park and have already shared experience with friends planning upcoming weekends to the city.

Food was on point and the staff was very attentive and polite! We arrived at around 6:45 on a Saturday and had placed reservations for 7:00, but they were able to seat us upon arrival so we didn't have to wait. The atmosphere is cozy and they really don't have a dress code, I mean just dress appropriately (I was able to wear jeans with some tears and a button up long sleeve shirt). At about 8:00 the restaurant definitely started getting busier as I noticed most of the tables and bar area became full. The restaurant can definitely get noisy, but nothing unbearable and definitely wouldn't let that stop you from enjoying this place. I would definitely recommend trying this place for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing! I was in DC for thanksgiving and I ended up there in the last minute They had a prix fixed 3-course meal which was superb I had the polenta with mushrooms as a starter. As the main course, I had the rib eye. It was a very nice portion, cooked to perfection To finish with, I tried their pumpkin pie, which was also very tasty It was an amazing meal at a very nice environment. Also, staff is extremely friendly! A must go in Washington! As a side note, yes, they also offered the traditional turkey for thanksgiving, but I am a meat lover, so I skipped this one!
