We had a great meal. We shared several small plates but larger single servings also available. Very creative menu which is coded by what type of cuisine it was (Chinese Japanese or Peruvian ). Can’t wait to go back for dim sum specials on Tuesdays! More

Excellent service and attention to detail with an inventive menu. They were very good with the need for gluten free selections, having a complete gf menu as well as information on whether other items from the full menu could be adapted to be gf. More

This was my first time at Mastro's, and it was one of the best dining experiences I have had yet! All the food we ordered was so good. I loved the scalloped potatoes and the filet.. my steak was cooked perfectly. We were told to try the Warm Butter Cake, it was probably one of the best desserts I have ever had!! Do yourself a favor and get it. It's huge so you can easily share it with multiple people. Will definitely come back next time I am in DC. Our waiter Sam was great and super attentive. Top notch service. He definitely made our dining experience that much more enjoyable! :) Thank you! More

I liked the idea of he restaurant and the design is very relaxed. It was a little cold for me - bring a jacket. Loved the moist brisket, mac & cheese and cornbread - not crazy about the butter. More

Authentic, delicious fresh food, great value. Ambiance is also authentic. Service is nice, yet has room for improvement. They may need to be more attentive on what patrons may need. Just by keeping an eye on their tables, slowing down a bit and making eye contact with their patrons, they could ID if clients need anything. More

Met a friend for Brunch on Sunday. The drink menu was excellent. We started with Scotch Eggs, which were outstanding, and cooked soft, unlike any others I've tried. My friend enjoyed the Hanger Steak and I enjoyed the Eggs Benedict. The gelato and bread pudding for dessert hit the spot perfectly on the hottest day of the year thus far. The service was amazing. Every staff person was genuinely pleasant and didn't mind answering questions. We look forward to returning. More

Great prix fix brunch deal and good service More

Lovely space to have a meal with large, arched booths available if you arrive early. We started with samosa chat which were quite good and not too spicy and followed this with the tandoori grill dish. (A nice mix of salmon, chicken, lamb and one shrimp.) Well seasoned and you could order it based on your spice tolerance. The chicken biryani used a longer grain rice and is a darker color than we were used to seeing but was also well prepared and flavorful. We also ordered kasmiri naan (a sweet, fruit stuffed bread) and dal. All good dishes and well seasoned. Attentive service and quiet enough to hear each other talk. Would have liked a little music perhaps. :) More

I had never been before, but loved Crimson! Before dinner we grabbed a drink at the downstairs whiskey bar level, which was massive, but still such a cozy, relaxed vibe. The diner's menu was vast and had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from (much appreciated, Crimson, thank you!!) and the milkshakes and cocktails were delicious. Prices were very reasonable for what you got, and I can't wait to go back and try more. Service was rather slow, but that was the only negative, which is not bad at all. More
