DC Restaurants with the Best Ambience

I use a weighted scale to rate five different categories when I review a restaurant.  The most important factor is of course the food; followed by price, service, ambience, and accessibility of the restaurant.  It is not just about the best scenic view - the overall décor, atmosphere, and general vibe of the restaurant are also critical factors to help set the mood for a wonderful night out.  Below are the DC restaurants who received my highest ambience score so far this year.

Best Service by DC Restaurants

I use a weighted scale to rate five different categories when I review a restaurant.  The most important factor is of course the food; followed by price, service, ambience, and accessibility of the restaurant.  The first and final impression made by a restaurant is seen in the quality of the service by the staff.  From the initial greeting to answering questions about the menu to overall helpfulness to guests is crucial for a restaurant in order to provide the most enjoyable time of patrons in their establishment.  Paying attention to details stands a restaurant apart from others and giving genuine service keeps customers coming back.  Below are the DC restaurants who received my highest service score so far this year.
