Concierge "This lively Penn Quarter Indian restaurant makes a contemporary statement with its decor (tamarind hues, clean lines, blond wood) and menu (a lighter, healthier take on traditional dishes from across India)."
Travel + Leisure "The menu has such dishes as tandoori lamb chops, chicken biryani, and chicken green masala." Full review
Zagat ""Only superlatives" describe the "mind-blowing" "modern Indian" food that gives diners a "mouthgasm" at this "wildly popular", "classy" Penn Quarter destination." Full review
BlackBook "Be forewarned. The inventive cocktails and chatty bartender may tempt you into trading your table for a liquid dinner, but that would be a huge mistake."

"Contemporary yet skillfully ancient, this very 'today' Indian restaurant is as chic as any place downtown, yet offers patrons the sense of an older, more regal India." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the top Indian restaurants in Washington, DC."
Time Out "Rasika brings the delicacy of upmarket Indian cooking to Washington." Full review
Not For Tourists "Pricey, polished Indian."

Frommer's "The kitchen smokes its own salmon (as it has for 29 years); cures its own pastrami, tasso ham, and prosciutto; and bakes its own bread and pastries, so these items are awfully good." Full review

"It's a perfect "rendezvous" for dinner in the "intimate" main room, "cozy" drinks by the fire or a "wonderful" reservation-worthy brunch in the "hidden" garden." Full review
Gayot14.0
"Revisiting one of DC's most charming yet least publicized restaurants is much like a trip down memory lane." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The menu of this historic inn always offers a delicious surprise. The garden is lovely and the funky interior has several inviting nooks and crannies."
Time Out "Tucked at the back of a 19th-century brownstone, home to a family-run hotel, the Tabard is an eclectic and shamelessly romantic destination." Full review
Washington Post Editors' Pick
"The beautiful surroundings offer a place to talk, to relax and unwind with contemporary American food." Full review
Afar Magazine "What I love about the Tabard Inn is that most D.C. visitors and transplants have never heard of it, yet this place requires a brunch reservation 2 weeks in advance." Full review
Not For Tourists "Romantic rendezvous."
Fodor's "Fading portraits and overstuffed furniture make the lobby lounge look like an antiques store, but this hotel restaurant's culinary sensibilities are thoroughly modern." Full review
The Infatuation "If you like jazz and don’t mind being youngest person in the room by 20 years, you'll enjoy the live music at Tabard Inn on most evenings." Full review
