Right Spot Restaurant & Bar

Best lounge food in the city. Argue with your mother. Shoutout to Yuri the main chef. Everything fresh as always.

I came here to celebrate a friend's bday. It was my first time here. The place is two levels but cozy. There wasn't table service available so all food and drinks had to be ordered at the bar. I didn't like that happy hour wasn't available on Fridays, like whhyyyy?! The drinks were around $12, but the shots were $5. I ordered chicken quesadilla. I thought they were ok. I want to come back when they have happy hour.

I guess I didn't read the reviews enough - I would say this is more of a bar than a French restaurant. Not a bad thing but just wasn't what I was expecting.The restaurant is downstairs and there is a hookah lounge upstairs (which is loud on the weekends). The menu is pretty big - has a section for mussels, sandwiches, pasta, Ethiopian food, and I forget what else. We ended up ordering a couple of apps - a plate of fries and chicken wings. Both were ok (fries better than wings), but not amazing or anything. I don't think I would come back - rather get a burger/wings/fries elsewhere and same with Ethiopian. But I'm sure this is a great stop if you are planning to head upstairs or are upstairs and get hungry.One more thing - a service charge was put on the bill. I'm assuming since it operates as a lounge/bar. Not a huge deal or anything.

I'm winding on considering the Right Spot as a enjoyable hang out venue. It's the same energy everytime I go. They seat you if they have the space then try to push you out when you don't buy bottles. For Me: The Right spot is a secondary spot. A place to go after brunch to get hookah, a few shots and some drinks while you're out after fellowshiping at a restutant. It's a place I go that I know I can't be cheap but GAWDAMN. It's in bad form to go to places and expect that you will be welcomed for hours on end and not spend an appropriate amount of money, so it's really annoying and bothersome to go to a place spend what you think is decent ( two hookahs at $50+ , food, and 2-3 rounds of drinks for 5 ppl, With prices that are higher since the pandemic)The Right Spot tries to operate as a club/ lounge venue where bottle service means your bill ends up in the deep hundreds. They'te doing this while advertising themselves as a restaurant/ bar... Without giving you a menu that indicates that, withour a website that indicates that, and serving staff that only tells you that a hour into your seating that they have "bottle requirements"Note: the servers are never rude, just matter of fact. I want to strongly assert that the servers are never rude, but seem to have to assert these "rules" It all amounts to a rushed experienced that is constantly interrupted by the staff basically telling to to get out of you're not spending lots of money. Visiting this spot as my first foray to a hookah spot ( I took the risk because I'm vaccinated and missing social interaction) let me know I don't need to plan to come here again for a chill experience.

As an Ethiopian, I'm typically impervious to poor customer service, but this place hit my ceiling of tolerability! The fiasco: they wrongly charged us and showed utter contempt during the refund process--took their sweet ass time, missed our Uber. Still I'll give a full review because I'm a decent human being.Atmosphere: lively street. Came in on a Thursday night- upstairs was dead. Has the typical hooka lounge booths and spacious bar seating. They had multiple screens, showed some hip hop and heavy Caribbean music videos. Food/hooka: I ordered a peach hooka ($20) and shrimp quesadilla ($12). Hooka was basic, I was disappointed to see they use the CHEAP and health hazardous instant charcoals. I liked the quesadilla! Ample shrimp.BAD SERVICE: Everything got derailed when we saw our cards were charged improperly. Friend and I went kindly brought it to their attention. You'd think we'd asked them to cut us a fucking flight to Rome. First, we had to explain the discrepancy with kid gloves- though the receipt was self explanatory! It took 20 minutes of us standing as they grumbled and asked the ppl around for loose cash so we can be reimbursed. There was no apology- just looks of contempt. I was so shocked that I asked for my TIP and they refused!! After that shitty treatment I couldn't get reimbursed. So disrespectful.

Came to Right Spot on a Saturday around 5 after seeing a flyer advertising a day party. Although it was much more chill than an actual day party (everyone was sitting, no real dancing), I had such a great time there. My group was seated upstairs which had a bar, some lounge style seating, and a bunch of tvs showing football (win!). There was a DJ there who was spinning some old school and some new school, and had my group singing and dancing the entire time. Best part of this spot was that it is super affordable. The hookah was around $25 and pulled well the entire time we were there. The drinks were also inexpensive and I believe there were $5 shots of anything (yes anything!). Overall this was one of my favorite new spots on my latest dc trip and I will definitely visit again when I'm in DC next time.

Ok so khari (bartender) gives the best customer service !!! he is a super people person and very attentive and easy going. He greets you right from the door and immediately turns on the charm. This place is one of the great hookah spots around DC. There is ample space at the bar as well as tables upstairs so you don't feel like you're crammed into a sardine can. They're happy hour is AMAZING $15 hookah $5 drinks and shots (certain drinks make sure to ask) and a really good bar food menu. I had the Right Spot Mussels and they were delicious slightly sweet flavoring but also the right amount of salt. The mussels come with a baguette and french fries so you can pick whatever you like. The music the other night was great the DJ really felt out the crowd and played to what we all liked. Before you know it karaoke practically broke out. Overall this place has everything you need. Great service, yummy food, space to spread out and good music. What more could you want :) Cheers until next time.

Don't got after 10 or at all. They charge $30 for a shot and $20 for a regular drink. Also, $4 for tab water in a cup. They are scamming like crazy.

Service was great!!! Butttttt a margarita (patron) (house) being $20 insane. Dussi was only $15... Dussi is always more.. they gotta get the prices together.

They gave me the wrong order but the food i did receive was almost inedible. their beef isn't chewable and their chicken has veins you can pull straight out of your plate. soggy, flavorless, disappointing.
