Best Date Night Restaurants in West End

My favorite thing about Ruth’s Chris is consistency. They nail the ribeye every single time, to perfection. On top of that, their wait staff always makes me feel at home. Very pleasant experience all around.

We arrived early for our reservation and sat at the bar. Service was good, but there was confusion re: my credit card that caused unexpected duress at the end of an otherwise pleasant meal. I would still return, especially for a convenient meal before a show at the Kennedy Center.

Five stars for A. Bar and Kitchen. The food was delicious - my favorites were the duck and the oyster mushrooms. The service is lovely. One can hear themselves think. Not too loud but a very cool vibe. So wonderful to finally have a good restaurant not too far from the Kennedy Center! I also can’t wait to try it in nicer weather - they have a very cool space out back with a fire pit and a little garden.

Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner in a corner table. Service was awesome and food was delicious and served at perfect temp.

There was a private event that required we be seated in a private dining room that was cozy and comfortable. Despite this huge event happening, our service by Gustavo was incredibly attentive and timely. What a warm and wonderful human being! Chef Todd Gray always manages to hire the best staff out there. They are incredibly personable, knowledgeable and caring about their work. The food is always scrumptious and top notch. Equinox is our go-to plant-based restaurant for sure. It's always a celebration of food, love, ambience, and fabulous service. We adore it there.
