Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Crofton

Old Ebbitt Grill is always solid. Service is usually solid (as compared to most DC proper restaurants) and the food is always great. Their raw bar is incredible (be sure to visit during oyster HH, everyday 3pm-6pm), the mix drinks are always tasty, and their menu/selection is always rotating and improving. Their management is clearly receptive to metrics and I appreciate this restaurant.

As always a wonderful dinner with fantastic service from Kendal. We could not have been happier! The food and cocktails were great.

My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

I highly recommend TF! My first visit was during their opening week & while there were some understandable snags, every visit since has exceeded expectations. The food & drink are top tier (everything I’ve had I’ve enjoyed) & reasonably priced, but the customer service has been a 10 on every visit. Deviled eggs are a must. Pork chop was thick, but incredibly juicy & tender. The seasonal menu changes are always a hit. Snag a reservation & see for yourself!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d suggest you make a reservation as it was a full house at 2pm on a Thursday. We were greeted promptly by our server and she checked on us regularly. The food came out timely and it was delicious. We each had alcoholic beverages, salads, an entree, cappuccinos and dessert. The bill was about $200 and I felt that was a fair price and worth it.
