We ordered the Taste of South served family style at the recommendation of the waiter and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The spread included three courses with perfect portions of each component, served with appropriate time in between to savor each dish. It was a wonderful sampling that included some items we would not have tried otherwise.

Enjoyed my dining experience at K+K, their attention to detail with specialty cocktails is a plus! The toasted marshmallow espresso martini is my fave! The food is always flavorful and staff very attentive. Our waitress Knori was fantastic!

Got there a few minutes late for our reservation and they were very accommodating about getting us seated quickly. Delish food, hip vibe, and terrific service by Jose G. A great place to get a meal before (or after) a show at the Anthem, so we'll be back!

All Hallows’ Eve was blessedly relaxed, and suitably informal with hosts in costume, and service finely attuned to the guests. It was a surprisingly small crowd for a Saturday night, but the kitchen was in full swing, and dishes arriving promptly. It is hard to resist past favorites; so, we both opted for the brisket, one a sandwich with sides, the other a platter. We were not disappointed. After dinner, we adjourned to the bar, which was easily up to the same standard. The DuBoissan Ale, 12% is a favorite.

Never disappoints. We go about once a month as they’re only two blocks away and we always leave full and happy. Best desserts in town

Circa never disappoints. Whenever we’re in DC, we always like to gather there for great food and libations.
