Johanna: I'm generally a harsh critic and have to say, everything we got was wonderful. Pork and lychee salad, popcorn soup, strawberry pasta, and fried chicken, all wonderfully complex in flavor and texture.
Jason Townsend: Amazing food at Rose's Luxury -- highly recommend the Pork sausage/habanero/lychee salad and the Pickle brined fried chicken with honey & sesame
Steven Androphy: Bring a few friends to wait in line with and try almost everything on the menu. Highlights include the lychee salad, corn with guajillo chile, pickle-brined fried chicken, and caramelized cauliflower.

Chelle: The curry chicken Ramon is fried chicken. It was unexpected but delicious.
Jenni: Red miso and their steamed fried chicken buns are amazing. My friend got a cocktail (alt-f5) which was also delicious. Make a reservation...much easier than waiting an hour in line!
Sam Sherwood: If you're a little burnt out on ramen, try the chicken Dan Mien - boneless chunks of fried chicken on peanut sauced Dan Dan-style noodles

Whisky Bar · Capitol Hill · 40 tips and reviews
Krissy R-Harris: I liked this place, but the fried chicken needed more salt. What the chicken lacked in salt, the fries definitely made up for it. I love salt though and the fries were amazing. The drinks were good 2.
Felicia: Great whiskey sour. The fried chicken and peach biscuit was pretty good, too.
Venu: Best bourbon bar in Capitol Hill
Eater: By day it operates as a coffee shop, selling spicy fried chicken sandwiches. At night, come by for an all-inclusive $250 per person meal, which includes 12-15-course dinner, drinks, and tip. Read more.
Allison Abbott: A great option for someone wanting to get a taste of Rose's without the wait! Remarkably inexpensive, but with the high quality artistry and delightful touches you'd find at Rose's.
M H: $150 bar menu + $65 drink pairing. Food was excellent, but the 6 tiny courses left us hungry. We were rushed out by waitstaff who needed our seats in little more than 90 minutes, leaving a sour taste.

Boris Zilberman: One of DC's gems. Fantastic menu (get the moules), great drink selection, and awesome atmosphere.
Food Network: The restaurant pours more than 50 Belgian brews by the bottle, and has 11 on tap. Check them out at Happy Hour every night from 10pm to close. Via CityEats.com Read more.
Lauren Karasek: Get all of the dipping sauces for the fries--they're a quarter each and fantastic and unique in their own ways. Definitely experience them all.
