    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Chef Victor Albisu leaves seemingly no dish untorched as he evokes the asados, or barbecues, of South America.
