The Strand DC

Jerk wings are , cornbread is a must!! Service is great and great place to watch game

This is a new addition to the area. The hostess and waitress were very helpful. The restaurant is open with lots of tv screens. There is street parking which can be somewhat challenging. We ordered appetizers and entrees. The appetizer was extremely greasy and not appealing. The entrees were just so-so. This is a new spot and I am sure things will improve the longer they're open. Unsure if I will return.

I live close by and had been driving by for a few weeks and decided to check them out on a cold and rainy Friday evening. I ordered the Double smash burger. It's came perfectly cooked and was almost too much to eat at once. The fries were also hot and crispy. I ordered the hot crab dip, which was very cheesy and freshly made.. While sitting at the bar, I ordered two Four Rose Old Fashioned which were tasty as well. The bartenders were friendly and everyone seemed nice and welcoming to the Guest that came in. A steady crowd was coming in and out of the restaurant. Most sat at the bar. It's a nice space. The bartender said that they haven't had a grand opening yet but expected to once the signage was up around Thanksgiving. I hope this spot does well. I enjoy the other restaurants that this group has (The Point, Ivy City Tavern etc ) so I look forward to this spot staying around. Our neighborhoods deserve more than nasty carry outs and fast food restaurants.

Customer Service, Ambiance and the Food, They Aim To Please, Make The Customer Feel Like They Have A Private Chef

OMG... best new restaurant in DC...check out the menu and the off the hook Sunday brunch...6 tv screens... excellent service and super great ambiance

The food and service are top tier. I cannot wait for my next visit......and I am bringing friends. BEST BRUNCH!!!!!

Let me start with there aren't any true dining spots east of the river in DC. Those that live in DC know what I'm talking about. So, I spotted an unassuming place in the unlikeliest neighborhood and figured I'd check it out. Finding the way in was tricky as there are two doors on the side of the building where the windows are so naturally you'd think that was the entrance - unfortunately not. Someone saw me attempting to open both doors and motioned for me to come around the corner- surprise there's a door! No signage so you still don't know where you are. After entering it was a nice, clean not too busy on a weekend afternoon. So I think "ok this is a good start ". An employee that was off shift greeted me and escorted me to a pleasant young man (Marcuise?) with whom I began to chat with. He asked if I was dining in or ordering takeout, so I decided to eat in. After being seated and looking at the limited menu (for a startup it's completely understandable), the waiter introduced the manager who was pleasant and welcoming.Food Review:I had the brisket sandwich, fries and a ceasar salad. The presentation was good (as seen in the pic) and again the server was attentive. Unfortunately the salad tasted sour, I don't know if it was the lettuce or the dressing. The fries were cold & not crispy as I asked for and the brisket while warm wasn't flavorful.The price point was good so no complaints there. I wouldn't even say it was too pricey for the neighborhood because we all spend on what we want.While I've been wanting a place in the neighborhood that my wife and I could go to for a pleasant evening and a nice meal without having to travel a mile or more and pay downtown DC prices. Unfortunately, this isn't it - the service was great but not enough to bring me back.Maybe if they had comfort food on the menu such as shrimp and grits or even chicken and waffles I may have considered giving them a second chance.This was a nice try and I wish them well but it's not for me
