4.7 / 5.0(2,266 reviews)

We had an incredible dining experience at Seven Reasons. The meal started perfectly with a fresh bread basket and their selection of meze — the muhammara was especially outstanding. For mains, we tried the lamb lo mein, which was tender and flavorful with absolutely no strong lamb smell, and the chicken and shrimp roulade, which was just as impressive. The drinks were on point, and the ambiance, décor, and service all added to the charm of the evening. The only small note is that the portions are on the smaller side, but that’s expected for fine dining. Overall, a beautiful experience through and through. I stopped by Seven Reasons for a solo brunch and ordered the Corn Pancake with Bacon — absolutely delicious! The corn pancake was fluffy inside and slightly crispy on the outside, perfectly balanced with the salty-sweet bacon. The presentation was beautiful too, and the portion was just right for one person. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff who made me feel comfortable dining alone. Definitely one of the best brunch experiences I’ve had in DC — can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! A must try!! This dinner was so enjoyable and memorable. I must suggest the halibut and beef tartare as an appetizer followed by the braised short ribs (melt in your mouth). If you want something a little bit delicate smaller go with the Duck dilemma. Ladies, I must suggest the passion over perfection and tropical smoke. Gentlemen the Seven Reasons Old fashioned, was so smooth. The atmosphere was perfect. Hidden Gem, you must try.

Absolutely loved Seven Reasons! Everything was incredible — the Arepitas, Ceviche, and Steak Tartare were packed with flavor, and the Piña Colada was one of the best I’ve ever had. We finished with the Melting Cloud and guava cheesecake desserts, which were the perfect finale… fun, creative, and delicious. Beautiful atmosphere and great service. Definitely a must-visit in DC!

The food was solid, the arepa was a bit dry but the flavor of both dishes were really good! The restaurant is beautiful because of the greenery and decor. Loved it!
