    Apps are great. Nice place indoor and outdoor seating areas. Waiters could be a tad more attentive but still fine. Surprisingly they don’t have fries on their menu! Portions are tiny so order a lot!

    DC's booziest brunch. Cross your fingers that Vessi is your server. She knows what bottomless brunch really means. Great deal, amazing Turkish fare.

    Flatbreads $6 during happy hour at the bar. Get the lahmacun one, even if you have to say it really fast or point to it on the menu to save yourself the embarrassment.

    Many options for vegetarians. Has delicious grilled calamari. Their desserts are worth saving some room for. Has a good & unique beer list.

    Waitress did a great job topping off my mimosa. Excellent Sujuklu Pide (flatbread with Turkish sausage and pesto) and an overall fantastic brunch deal.

    Food is really good here, but the portions as they tell you when you go there, are small. So if you're hungry it can get a little expensive since you have to order more than two from the menu.

    Brunch special is $30 for bottomless drinks and unlimited tapas. You won't find a buffet of rubbery scrambled eggs here, and the hummus is fantastic.

    Great meal. Tapas style small plates with great favors. Get the red beet and orange salad served over lemon mash potatoes--amazing! So good.

    Good turkish food. Specialty flatbreads are amazing. Lamb loin is good too. Add yogurt sauce to anything to make it extra special.

    The food here is absolutely delicious! Agora could easily be one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in DC.

    It was delicious. I know the food from the region pretty well and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was (visiting from NY)

    Appetizers were great. For entree I had the kofta which was too salty and not so good.

    Bitches Say A. Great brunch deal, chic atmosphere, lovely patio for summertime. Not every dish is a win, but enough are to make this great.

    GREAT restaurant!! Try the Pere Jaques beer, it is amazing. These beers are above grade beer people, of course you're going to pay a little more. Try the alabalik and the chef's borek, DELICIOUS

    Delicious! Trout, adana kebab, spinach among the best I've had for Turkish food. Not sure why people didn't like the service. Ours was great.

    Food was very good, especially the pide. Service was DC style slow but it was nice to sit outdoors under the canopy in the heavy rain.

    We Love DC recommends you try the Raki, Turkey's national drink. Combining the flavors of aniseed and distilled fruits, the drink also pairs well with several dishes. Read more

    Small portions (even for a "small plates" format) but great quality. Taramasalata is fluffy and fantastic.

    The food at Agora could not be more authentic if the restaurant was in Istanbul. Be sure to order lots of meze!

    Plates are really small. You need to get a lot if you're hungry! (And spend a lot of money)

    Food is fine. Hostess left a lot to be desired. Told us we could have the table until 8 pm then started pushing us out 30 minutes earlier. Used to come here all the time. There are better alternatives

    Bottomless brunch ends at 3pm on the dot, no matter when you're seated. Management is oddly confrontational about this.

    The food is nothing but mediocre for Turks, Greeks and all other fella from East Med. It is definitely over priced. I would not go there again. Their borek and baklava were quite good though.

    Their bottomless brunch is a pretty good deal, but I wasn't super into their food.

    It's obvious that The previous negative comments are from people that don't know beer. Were they expecting a bud light? The beers are Pere Jaques and Matilda. And the prices are very good for them

    Absurd beer prices and serving sizes! You're better off sticking to the free soda water or better yet, hop the fence and drink $3 beer at Pasha bistro.
