Behrad EatsMay 6, 2015Solid downtown lunch option. Get the delicious Pollo Asado sandwich made with wood-grilled chicken with merkén aïoli, lettuce, tomato, and pecorino with a side of housemade chips.
Washington PostSeptember 24, 2014Rural Society buys good beef, then doesn’t do too much to it: salt, pepper and a brush of butter stained with malbec are all that season the lean, grass-fed rib-eye and tenderloin from Uruguay. Read more
Tracy IsaacJune 14, 2016One of favorite spots now. The food was wonderful. They have a 3-course and 5-course family style tasting menu. I am definitely trying on my next visit.
Melissa TaylorDecember 16, 2014Visiting on a business trip, my boss & I splurged on the $95 tasting menu. The best items were the beef empanadas (although on the heavier side), the sausage, beets, steak, mushrooms & choc dessert.
TanishaFebruary 7, 2015Pistachio cranberry cookie was a surprising treat and best 'bread' in the basket. I would order a dozen of these if they were offered separately. Yum!
Marco GiraudiAugust 16, 2014Very nice new restaurant near the White House. Argentinian food on grill. Pretty nice location. Nice staff
Tyler PetersenAugust 14, 2014Arguably the best deal this restaurant week, and perhaps the most delicious.
Angie HarmonSeptember 22, 2014If you book early, it's possible to reserve a private room at no extra cost.

"Start with the chicken sandwich for $5 is amazing! From the small plates you want to try the roasted carrots, the scallops, and the beef cheeks! The drinks are amazing as well."
