Fred Stilla - Washington

Excellent food and service! Definitely a hidden gem. My favorite part was the menu, each dish inspired by a different country’s cuisine. My friends and I had very tasty dishes and the servers were very attentive. I really liked my salad with salmon (very fresh).

My guest and I arrived at the restaurant and were seated, but after waiting about 15 minutes for someone to take our order, no one ever came to our table. Since the server was nowhere to be seen, we decided to leave.

Delicious international food, good cocktails and the big bar, mod setting (don't be put off that it is in a hotel lobby), great service, view of Embassy Row, and steps from Dupont Circle and the Phillips Collection. Was somewhat quiet when we were there, which suited us for date night and conversation. We will definitely go back

The food was excellent, and there was a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. I will surely come back to sample more dishes.

We had cocktails-tried to get a vieux carre and then a sazerac, but settled on an old fashioned since the bar was not able to make the others. The old fashioned was served with a bright red Shirley temple cherry instead of a luxardo. The food however was very good. Lamb shank was falling off the bone and the swordfish had great flavors. A good straightforward meal, maybe a bit pricey for what it was.
