The Little Blackbird

“Our server Joseph was amazing , I normally never leave reviews but he just made the experience so enjoyable! He explained everything to us and always checked in and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be returning”

“Outstanding food, wine, and service. Every dish was fantastic. We had the lamb, and it was quite possibly the best lamb we’ve ever had. We finished the meal with a perfect Tawny Port. Our server Erick was lovely, attentive, and very pleasant. He had great suggestions for pairings. Chef Ryan came out to chat and thank us for dining with them! The whole Little Blackbird team should be proud! Thanks again for an amazing dining experience.”

“This was, without question, the best wine bar that I've been to in DC. The vibe was perfect (chatty/dimly lit). Our waiter, Youssef, was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and very funny. We were able to taste several wines before deciding on glasses for our meal. The food was delicious. I would recommend the traditional tart flambee, the hearth roasted branzino, and the seared sea scallops (the appetizer size comes with 2, but you can get 4 as an entrée). We ordered the Single Malt Butterscotch Pudding (incredible in you like Glenlivet) and we got a free dulce de leche cheesecake with a candle for my friend's birthday. I will absolutely be going back! Probably soon.”

“Little Blackbird is our favorite restaurant in Cleveland Park! We have already been 5 times since it opened a few months ago. The food is outstanding, complemented by an extensive wine selection with perfect pairings for each dish. If you don’t want to do one of the pairings suggested on the menu, the server will provide different suggestions as well. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The excellent service and positive vibes make every visit a wonderful experience every time. My husband and I like to sit at the bar to be served by Kyle, the fantastic bartender who is so knowledgeable about wine. He always explains the characteristics about the wine we are drinking and how it pairs with the flavors in our dish. We learn so much every time we go in. Recently we went and had an awesome dessert pairing experience with 7 sweet treats and 6 wine pairings. This place is always crowded, so definitely make a reservation or show up close to opening to get a seat at the bar. Highly recommend if you are in DC looking for a great spot for dinner and drinks!”

“The food was spectacular, the service was delightful and the atmosphere is so cute and fun! Colletta was our server and she was incredible. We felt so taken care of and it was such a good experience. We’re already planning the next visit! The butterscotch dessert wasn’t our cup of tea, it’s very Smokey with a touch of butterscotch but overall, we loved the little blackbird! Looking forward to watching this little gem grow in the neighborhood!”
