Best Restaurants for People Watching in Cleveland Park

Our server DeAngelo, whom I was meeting for the first time, was outstanding in every respect. He was the epitome of what a good server should be.

Fantastic experience as usual. It's our neighbor gem that we love going to. They made our evening special. Especially our favorite waitress Natalie. Such a great representative of the restaurant...from the smiling hostess, to our waitress, attentive bus boy, engaging manager checking on us. Just a great experience. Thank you Pembroke team.

Our server, Jay, was amazing. He made great suggestions and we loved all of the rolls we tried because of him. The arekusa roll was the best roll I have ever eaten in my life. It melted in my mouth. Highly suggest, and worth the $. The restaurant has a great decor.

Loved our visit to Ocean Prime. Waitress was super chill and friendly. We both ordered fish - salmon and blackened snapper. Absolutely delicious. Topped it off with Old Fashioneds. Recommend!

We really enjoyed the food and the service. As one member of our party commented - fried here is not deep fat fried like most US restaurants, it is pan fried - so the texture is light and crispy. We especially liked the pan fried fish and the stand-out of the evening for both taste and texture was the Tacu-Tacu - a lowly bean and rice cake. It was delicious! Our party was double the age of the average diner, but we were made to feel welcome. Also while you definitely heard the background music - it was genuine background music and we were able to hear and enjoy our conversation.
