Ardeo, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

Went here for brunch and had a pretty good experience. $4 drink options, smaller portions (which I LOVE, the average American restaurant's portions are disgustingly, offensively large), and the service was good. Ordered huevos rancheros and all the flavors in the dish were bold and on-point.

Food:

We went to Ardeo for family dinner and we were all blown away. Everything was fantastic. Pizza was better than anticipated, beets paired withs sour cherries and blue cheese were yum, brussels sprouts with apricots and yogurt were out of this world. Mains were fab too: swordfish was superb, squid ink pasta was better than most, steak and eggs were beautifully done. The only glitch in our meal was the chicken, which was a bit dry and bland. Desserts were different and perfectly sized to satisfy a sweet tooth without going overboard. Space was warm and inviting. Service was courteous and accommodating. Management made an appreciated presence, calling before dinner to check in and stopping by the table during the meal. I haven't been to Ardeo in years (mainly due to lackluster reviews) and was thrilled with our meal. Brunch is quite delicious too. Can't wait to go back.

Food:

Consistent good wine pairings with solid food choices. Get the personal pizzas!

Food:

Great prix fixe brunch.

Food:

I went here during restaurant week unintentionally - but didn't turn down the better prices. Still, the food didn't really meet expectations. The salad was mediocre and dry, the smoked duck was flavorless and tough. Dessert was better, but I could find better at the wine bar a few doors down. I may give Ardeo another chance, but certainly not during restaurant week.
