Best Romantic Restaurants in Van Ness

It’s awesome every time without fail. The best restaurant in DC metro area forever.

Food was excellent, as was the service. Was little concerned about dress code requirement given the distance traveled without formal wear but allowed us to enter and enjoy a very nice experience. The steaks and fish were cooked as requested and all had an awesome crisp exterior. Salad, sides and butter cake were very good.

Service was friendly and helpful , and the portions were ample. The menu was interesting and rewarding.

The restaurant, bar and lounge areas spread out across multiple rooms / terraces / levels so it is a really intimate and fun layout. Excellent service and value. Price for classic drinks skewed a tad high in my opinion. I'll try and catch a happy hour sometime and the jazz performances.

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
