The Dabney

A colleague from Toronto and I, from Los Angeles, stumbled upon this place looking for dinner before heading back to Baltimore. The space is beautifully put together, rather cozy and intimate. It elevated our dinning experience before we sat. At the bar we were greeted by Megan behind the counter. She was most courteous and thorough presenting the menu to us. She'd continue to assist us through our meal with a level of warmth and attentiveness that made us feel at home. We had the radishes, oysters, NY strip and swordfish. Each dish was meticulously put together with color and flavor to delight the palate. The food was, simply put, excellent. I look forward to my next trip to the DC area just to experience this little gem one more time.

Awesome spot in DC. The service here is top notch. The team here does well to accommodate children surprisingly. It can be a bit pricey. This is definitely a place to go to show off to friends and family... Or perhaps a date.

Honestly a great meal. Very interesting and delicious small plate selections at what ended up being a fairly reasonable price for what you were getting (it's not inexpensive...but it is worth it.) Cocktails and alcohol selection were fantastic. We sat at the bar and the service was some of the best I've had in DC.

The food was good, the service was good but we walked out surprised they had a Michelin star. The service was not what I would expect from a rated restaurant as the servers were disjointed and pushing drinks while pulling dishes before we were both done with our course. We really enjoyed the scallops, grilled vegetables and the cornbread but the rest was just good. So we enjoyed our meal but we expected something special like the other Michelin star restaurants in DC.

Most unique flavors, delicious food, friendly, sweet staff. Lively, yet cozy environment. Paloma gets 5 stars for service, knowledge of product and a pleasant, upbeat attitude
