Maura Grace: You must try the Almond Toffee cake with Caramel ice cream w/ salt and apple compote, delish!
Washington Post: The second-most-famous oval room in Washington is the one owned by Ashok Bajaj. Top gun Tony Conte delights in slipping surprises into his cooking.

Wendy Lopez: The shrimp appetizer is perfectly crisp. The crab meat appetizer crepe is amazing. Had the porkchop for my entree and I wouldn't change a thing!
LS Parks: Great for celebrating a romantic night out, perfect for valentine's or sweetest day. I love the ratatouille, savory crepes, creme brulee, and perfect pink champagne

Jewish Restaurant · Connecticut Avenue - K Street · 74 tips and reviews
Clara Sanchez: Matzo ball soup - delicious and perfect for winter, latkes - decent but slightly too soft, service - outstanding
Thrillist: Jewish eats (both inventive and traditional) paired with craft cocktails in what looks like a turn of the century grocery (white subway tiles, barnwood shelving overflowing with jars...). Read more.
Amanda Jayne: Horribly named. Expect to take a sit-down restaurant amount of time & a sit-down amount of money bc it's that & not a deli! Delis are quick & cheap!
