Cafe Milano. The food is mid, but every celebrity drops by there when they visit DC. It gets by on the crowd it draws.

Large facts. I took a date there some years back in an attempt to impress her. Date was decidedly not impressed and neither was I because it’s overrated af.
Had much better food at chain restaurants for less than half the price.

No celebrity of note goes there anymore. It's basically only diplomats from third world dictatorships... and POLITICO reporters looking to overhear diplomats from third world dictatorships[1] lol

Delivery driver here, can confirm that the employee I meet in the kitchen digs through fresh greens with his bare hands, and sometimes rejects them. The greens must then be thrown away because they have literal RAW MEAT mixed throughout. Edit: grammar

My husband has lived in the DMV for 30 years and had never been. I took him last week for the first time and we sat at the bar for a drink.
1. A woman wearing sunglasses at the bar at night picked a fight with me
2. There was a group of republican men being super creepy to a young woman and also spilling what sounded like confidential gov stuff?
3. Two young women with a lot of plastic surgery and designer bags talking about how they were going to find sugar daddies that night.
In short, a true Washington institution.

Oh we're sorry, the almost reasonable bottle of wine you ordered is out of stock, let me offer you three others that are twice as expensive. All hype.

Co-sign this. Very overpriced for what it is, and very bad food. Won’t go back.

Cafe Milano is good. A very solid upscale Italian joint
