Best European Restaurants in Potomac

We hadn’t dined at San Lorenzo for awhile and we were so pleased upon our return to find that the restaurant was even better than we remembered! The service was wonderful, thoughtful and professional - the greeting upon entering the restaurant was welcoming, the atmosphere charming and relaxed, not rushed or pushy. The food was superb - Amazing pasta and the fish was perfect. The deserts even tempted us! Thank you to the entire team! We highly recommend a visit to San Lorenzo!

It’s not very often that you get to participate in the beginning stages of a nice restaurant. The ambiance and decor I thought was nice and intimate. The service team was pleasant, made us feel special but still seemed like they were getting used to things which was very understandable. The cocktails were impressive and we were enjoyed the use of Aquafaba in their Tightrope vs using egg whites. I had the smoked Old Fashioned and enjoyed the little bit of smoke in the presentation. The wine list by the bottle was short but handpicked for quality at various price points. We had a French Rose with our dishes. The shared plates to me were similar to a Tapas style and were flavorful. Our entrees were the star of the show with their Chilean Seabass and Short Ribs. Chocolate Mousse, flan and a Four Roses Neat rounded out our experience for a wonderful time.

I had a great service with Nicholas!! When we entered they knew already our special request!

We are frequent guests. The service and food are always excellent. We took advantage of the special Valentine Menu. We thought it offered a lot choices and was a great value.

This was our second vsiit and we had another great dining experience, the service and food was great! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, baked shrimp, and short rib and loved each dish. The drinks were great as well. We visited the day before Valentine's Day and they had this strawberry pistachio dessert that was so good. I am not a dessert person so that says a lot. Overall, would highly recommend. Great restaurant, speakeasy vibes, very loungey and dim atmosphere. We will be back again!
