    This place is the kind of place where you can find yourself becoming a regular. The location is quiet, pleasant and welcoming. I went for Sunday brunch and the food was delicious. I had French toast, scrambled eggs and potatoes. Yes, that's a lot of food but I couldn't choose! It was the best sweet and savory combo. The pineapple bottomless mimosas were perfection. The coffee was just as good. I wish I could remember the name of the young woman who assisted us - but what I remember was her beautiful book tattoo. ❤️.She was really kind, attentive and fun. Thank you! I'll be back again and again and I'm bringing friends with me!

    The four of us split 2 orders of the fried calamari. They were delicious, as usual. Others had the burgers and filet, which they enjoyed. I had the steak quesadilla, which was excellent! That is my new favorite entrée! A shout out to our server Dave, who recommended that dish. We sat outside, and it was lovely. A super evening, all in all.

    We had a great experience at Chef Geoff's. It was Mother's Day - which is one of the hardest days for restaurants - and it was packed. Regardless, our server was delightful, the food arrived quickly and was delicious. I would highly recommend Chef Geoff's.

    We dined at Chef Geoff’s for brunch on Mother’s Day. One thing I will mention is I had booked reservation for outside seating on open table but the restaurant was not able to view that it was an outside reservation. There seems to be a disconnect between open table and the restaurant’s view of the reservation details, however the restaurant graciously accommodated us and sat us outside. The food was delicious and the portion size was generous, which balances out the price. The weather was amazing so the outdoor seating was delightful. The service was excellent and the Manager came around to ask how our brunch was and to wish us a Happy Mothers Day. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Mothers day brunch and unfortunately didn’t meet expectations. The place was nice and ambience was relaxed - outdoor seating is available (but you need to book ahead). But service was poor and the food we got had to be returned for 2 items. The Eggs Benedict came with bacon, when not requested. It was sent back and the server just bought back the same dish with the meat manually removed. Kids sliders were burnt and also had to be returned. Worst of all server was nowhere to be found and only when we talked to a manager did we get the food exchanged. So overall nice place, but food and service needs some improvement.

    Portions are large. We ordered calamari (great) and focacia (not great) appetizers and should have split the entree. Ambitious menu, we splurged on the lobster special but the standards, e.g. burgers, are probably a better choice. Friday night, very festive with grads and families. Love the patio. Regretted getting the (low quality) pino grigio. My idea of a re-do is to return for a simple lunch on the patio, choosing my wine more carefully, and not being surrounded by the DC crowd drowning in cocktails.

    We love Chef Geoff’s and are so happy to have it as a neighborhood restaurant! The food and service are consistently very good. Patio and inside dining are both comfortable and fun. We have ordered the weekly takeout dinners from time to time and enjoy those as well. We are loyal fans for sure! Always feel comfortable taking out of towers here, knowing it will be a positive experience. Confused about one thing though. Can we not apply some partial amount of accumulated points to a meal? We wanted to apply $25 of our larger total to last nights dinner but server (who was great by the way) was unable to do that. Seemed like we could only apply ALL or nothing…. That seems odd.

    I love the location and the wait staff was very helpful. Unfortunately, I was a little underwhelmed by my food. I am gluten-free and the Chili Lime Salmon was rather average. The fish was cooked well, but the seasoning was bland. I will likely try another dish as we are often in the area.

    For some reason, my request for an outdoor table didn't convey despite my checking the preference twice. It was remedied and we were able to eat outdoors. My wine was flat tasting so I sent it back for an iced tea that turned out to be complimentary. That was nice.
