I love Phillip's. I would eat there several times a week if I could. The only entrée I've had, and the one that seems to be the most popular, is the lavish and generous seafood buffet. Everything you could want is here....crab legs, shrimp, paella, great desserts...and you can come back for more as often as you like. When I've been here, I've managed to eat until I couldn't anymore. The only drawback is that some nights the line for a table is way, WAY out the door. And they don't take reservations. Also, parking is at a premium in this waterfront neighborhood. Unless you like driving around in circles for half an hour until a space opens up, prepare to spend some money for parking. Luckily, Philip's has its own pay garage in this neighborhood, where the other garages tend to fill up with the cars of patrons from nearby nightclubs. The atmosphere is crowded and friendly...a good place to come with a group of people. The enclosed patio is very pleasant and a bit quieter than the main restaurant.

This is the pastry shop that did our beautiful wedding cake. They did an amazing job, the guests were all raving about the cake. Amazingly decorated, each layer was a different delicious flavor. They had us come in and we tasted all their different flavors, wow-amazing cakes, really flavorful and rich. Does not come cheap, but well worth it. We couldn’t save the top layer for next year because it was too good, we ate it the next day while opening presents! Great pastry shop, highly recommended.

Rocklands has the best-pulled pork and beef I have ever consumed. The food is all of great quality and they have amazing sides. You should only visit this establishment if you are ready for a full stomach. This place serves large portions, at reasonable prices. The restaurant is kind of small so sometimes it is difficult to find a stool to eat your food.

City Lights has some of the freshest, most well-prepared Chinese food you'll have in the metro area - on the scale of the chain P.F. Chang's, but with a lot more character and originality. Everything is good, and plentiful. The restaurant is very pleasant, with bright lighting in a cozy space a few steps down from street level. Prices are great, particularly for the quality of food, surroundings and service, and though City Lights is popular, you won't have to wait long for a table. Very close to the Dupont Circle metro.

The Bangkok Bistro is a beautiful restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food is absolutely wonderful. I've been coming here for years and always order something new and delicious. They offer wonderful specials and sidewalk dining is available in the warm months. The Bangkok Bistro is moderately priced and well worth the trip.

This hotel is superb! We stayed on the gold floor for a weekend, and received impeccable service. We checked in separately for the gold floor, and we felt like royalty the entire weekend.
There were personalized business cards in the room, tiny chocolate "paintings" of DC scenes on chocolate easels, and so many other amazing details. We loved playing games in the lounge, and the breakfast, afternoon tea, happy hour, and nighttime canapés. There is coffee, tea, and soda available all day also.
There is a good selection of DVDs to borrow for in the room, and some board games such as scrabble.
A wonderful, relaxing place to stay.

I've been to the Wisconsin Ave location of Booeymonger multiple times. You stand in line for sandwiches (a little a la "Seinfeld" no soup for you type ordering), give them your exact order and shuffle over to the register. Every sandwich I've ever had here has been wonderful, the service is very efficient and they even have their own frequent buyers card where you purchase 12 and get your next free. I frequently return for the Georgetowner and the Patty Hearst sandwhiches, which are always fresh. Convenient to the Friendship Heights metro in DC and MD off the red line.

I loved my experience at The Carlyle Suites. I had a king bed (with a Temperpedic Mattress! WOW) with a large seating area and a dining/work area. The kitchen - yes, a kitchen - is small but perfect if you want to cook a few simple meals in your room. There are dishes, silver and glasswear, a few pots and pans and knives, so you can put together a few decent meals if you don't want to eat out for every meal. The bathroom is gorgeous...although not good for you if you need to share the bathroom - the shower is all glass so there is no hiding there!
The service and cleaning are excellent - and I made quite a mess in the kitchen. The fridge was too small for my needs, but if you just need a place to keep some left overs and maybe some juice or soda it's good. The stove tops work well and don't cause overheating in the room - which I was worried about since it's such a small kitchen.
Rooms have cable and internet access - but bring your own internet cable. The only downside to this space was that cell phones don't seem to work anywhere inside the building. Every night there were at least half a dozen people making calls from outside the lobby on the street because their mobile phones weren't working in the room.
The Carlyle is near Dupont Circle and convenient to many good restaurants in the area. I will absolutely stay there again.
