Nice bar with plenty of beer and food options. They have some TVs where you can watch sports. Took some time for food to be served, but taste was really good.

This is a great casual restaurant right in the heart of Washington DC. We were looking for a relaxed atmosphere with some variety to the menu. Blackfinn DC did not disappoint. It is a typical restaurant and bar atmosphere and the noise level will increase with an increase in patrons. The entire staff was friendly and the service was relatively quick. The prices seemed very reasonable for this style of restaurant in the DC metro area. The Garlic Parmesan Pretzels as an appetizer were quite good. I am not normally a fan of mustard, however, their mustard cheese sauce paired extremely well with the pretzels. I appreciated that the sauce was served on the side. I can’t say enough about the Shrimp and Garlic Linguine as a main course. Not too overpowering for a pasta dish. Very flavorful and well proportioned. They did not skimp on the shrimp. There was plenty of shrimp to last until the final bite. Blackfinn DC made such an impact on us, we came back for a second night.

The best part of our meal was the appetizer of cheese curds but it went downhill rather quick. Our meals were not that good. My chicken fried chicken was a poor choice as it was overcooked and under flavored. The quinoa succotash was too over powered by bacon and my Caesar salad was entirely degusting. If it wasn't for the fact that we had to catch a show, I would have returned my meal. The quality of the meal was far below the price charged and if I come back it'll only be for the cheese curds. I really expected a better meal. I can spend $80 more smartly elsewhere for a much better experience.

All American pub style bar and grill. Two of us were welcomed and seated right away. Our waiter just happened to be one of the managers and who made our cocktails. He was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I was impressed with his professionalism. I was also happy with our food selections. The Cali burgers were delicious. They were fresh and made to order. The fries were scrumptious. The Blossom Tini was refreshingly wonderful. We saved room for dessert. The hot chocolate cake was heavenly. You get good value for quality here. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, and bar seating. There's plenty of TVs to watch games. This place was quite lively and had a locals vibe. It's quite loud, but we were able to have conversations at our both. This is a great place to hang out with friends and family.

To start with, the location is good right in front of the White House, and there is 2 hour street parking available, but it might be difficult to get a spot on a busy day. We got lunch here and then started our DC siteseeing. The food is average, not too great or bad. I had a hippie bowl, and my vegetarian friends had stir fry and cauliflower tots, both of which were OK. The place is kid-friendly. They have high chairs and provide papers and colors to kids to keep them entertained. However, I wasn't a fan of the food from the kids' menu. We got fish sticks and fries for our toddler. They were extremely oily and kind of tasteless, and I found a fish bone in one of the sticks. Our hostesss however was very pleasant, and food came out pretty quickly, too. Ambiance wise, it's a typical American pub bar.
