This is one of my favorite U Street restaurants. This uber-hip bistro is named after Marvin Gaye and is full of soul and spirit. The menu is comprised of home-cooked classics and uniquely blends belgian-style and classic southern comfort foods. The perfect example of this food marriage: The Country Fried Chicken and Waffles. Upstairs you'll find a lounge and rooftop bar, which are perfect gathering places, especially when the weather is warmer.
Pros: Unique menu items, fun atmosphere
Cons: Space isn't very large
