Perhaps one of the best vegetarian dishes in D.C., the torta pasqualina (Easter tart) combines kale, chard and spinach, then is layered in a flaky crust with bechamel, onions and mushrooms. Read more

The heart of the menu are grilled/smoked meats. House specialties extend to Peruvian-style chicken. Every detail (fluffy-centered yuca, shocking green chili puree, creamy aioli) is pitch perfect. Read more

Victor Albisu's South American restaurant serves up a variety of grilled smoky meats, and menu items like arepas. There's even a cocktail list with edible, meaty garnishes available in the lounge. Read more

Located in the old PS7. It's all about the asado meats. Grilled octopus and empanadas apps are delish as well. Chavitzo sandwich also quite tasty. Ya we ate... a lot. :)

The grill makes everything taste better. Happy hour offers some must try small plates including steak crostini, salmon ceviche, and seared provolone. Wine and cocktails are always delicious.

The burnt beets, milk braised pork cheeks, and anything smoked are highly recommended. For a much cheaper way to try Chef Albisu's delicious food, check out Taco Bamba in Falls Church.

Delicious and beautiful restaurant. We had empanadas(amazing!), Peruvian Chicken(delicious) and NY Strip with chimichurria (Perfection!). Also had salad, grilled and LOVED it!! Cannot wait to go back

Tons of meat but there are also some very good sides, salads, and other vegetable items. Excellent cocktails too. Don't be too depressed if you're a vegetarian and someone takes you here.

I had the lamb shank- it's suppperrr tender- seriously falls RIGHT off the bone... But was a little flavorless, I'll prolly try a diff meat next time cuz everyone else's looked amazing

For apps- the lamb empanadas (good) the octopus (meh, good but not exceptional like they say ) but the GNOCCI IS AMAZING!! Get it twice! It's to die for!

Can't beat the lunch special- any sandwich with a glass of wine/beer for $12! (Plus they give you bread while you wait)

Damn good. Damn expensive unless you're here for happy hour. But a relaxed evening of food and drink make it a worthy splurge.

Beets are amazing! Also get cauliflower as a side. Cocktails are well done. Love the restaurant design!!!

Great atmosphere and service! The smoked scrambled eggs are so worth the visit!

12 dollar lunch special in bar even better than the one offered at proof. Chivito is great but commands an immediate siesta.

Try there Rib eye the meat is delicious and seasoned well. The waiter was excellent and attentive

Food is fantastic but portions are embarrassingly small. Spent $35 here and left without being entirely full. Delicious, but not worth the price, even for DC. Their portions used to be more generous.

try the grilled tomato, anchovy, goat cheese crostini off the bar menu (sans the anchovies for vegetarians)
Nathan YuenApril 13, 2014
The rib eye and ribs are amazing. Not a huge fan of the big cut fries.

Voted "Most Likely to Improve" in 2014. The food is hit or miss, with some dishes are delicious and others that are confusing and sad. Read more

Great food and cocktails! The yucca fries are amazing

All of the food was great. Steak, seafood, and greens alike.

Grilled Jumbo Head-on Prawn! Amazing!

Chef Victor Albisu leaves seemingly no dish untorched as he evokes the asados, or barbecues, of South America.
Tess FrazierJune 25, 2013
Pasqualina tart is phenomenal and enough for 2 (or more).
Amy RJune 8, 2013
Go with the Del Campo chimichurri on any of their steak offerings.
Jamie GulinNovember 23, 2014
Pizza and limonada sucia. Yuca w/manchego cheese!
Kathy PhamMay 31, 2013
Definitely try the grilled octopus appetizer!

Overpriced honestly. It's good but for what you pay you can do better
