Alfresco Tap and Grill in District of Columbia

"The establishment offers a wonderful selection of reasonably priced beverages and cuisine. The dishes are not only well-prepared but also exceptionally flavorful. The efficiency and quality of service further enhance the dining experience. Remarkably, the subdued noise level pleasantly surprised us, contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable dinner."

"The bartender Toni is great. Highly spirited guy who gives great service. He recommended the burger that I really enjoyed. I also tried the ceviche they had. It had a super interesting component of fried avocado. It seems like they do a tempura style batter."

"I went with 4 friends and my godson to their soft opening and we found more friends so it became a huge party right away. All of us were pleasently surprised with their readiness, great food, and fast service. Mr. Raul himself was there and greeted each table. Our waitress, Chelsea, was very attentive and answered all our questions about Alfresco. We took advantage of their very generous and temporary offer "first drink and dish on us" and had more drinks, more to eat, Oh! and some absolutely delicious desserts! See my pictures, but go and have your own experience!!! Alfresco 2009 18th St., NW. Washington, DC 20009."

"Loved the vibe of this place. The pesto wrap was amazing. A bit disappointed in the portions when compared to the price - specifically for the side of parm fries. I don't think I'd go back for the food."

"Atmosphere and service great. Food, not great. The location is ideal especially if you’re looking for outdoor space or just a place to grab cocktails. My server was awesome, had no complaints about him. I enjoyed the atmosphere considering it’s a large space that’s dimly lit with an impressive patio space. My martini was perfect. The food was mediocre at best. For the price range it’s not terrible but I can probably get the same dishes elsewhere -at a better price.. that tastes better. The food was just good enough if you need to eat something, but it is nothing to write home about. No unique flavors, very standard American Italian-ish fare. If you’re into that this place is perfect for you to dine at. If you and a few buddies just want to grab beers or cocktails and enjoy the weather this place is also great for that. I also think the restaurant lacks identity of any sort. I’ll be back, but for the drinks, not the food. I don’t usually leave many reviews but I think this place has the potential to be better if they’re listening to what people have to say about the food."

"Great new American Italian fusion restaurant. We ate outdoors underneath a 20ft hard ceiling with sleek modern heaters. With trees and views of a park, nice easy-listening radio station played while we watched the bartenders mix drinks. The food was excellent, the table consensus favorite was the loaded mash potatoes. The mac and cheese with brisket was great too, the cheese was very creamy and understated nicely. I will be back to try their sandwiches for lunch."

"Excellent food! We had a few appetizers and they were all great. The duck roll is a must. We also tried the Alfresco Burger and Short ribs. The short ribs was really delicious, very tender and juicy. Definitely coming back. Thank you so much for such a nice experience. See you soon!"

"Fantastic dinner at Al Fresco! Very nice balance of intimacy but enough room to address large and small parties. Music crosses genres and added to the general atmosphere. Fancy heating elements for outside seating. These owners know how to run successful establishments. Food was great! We had cocktails, apps, entrees and desserts. See attached pictures. Delish!! Highly recommend! Will be returning for sure!"
