Wonderful food and excellent service. Really liked the Tour of the World which 3 of us shared. Also really enjoyed sitting outside where it was quieter and we could talk comfortably.

The Tour of the World is an amazing experience. Each dish was better than the last and it all came together in a stunning sampling of food from all over. Great portions, almost counts finish some dishes but they were so good we powered through haha. The music and atmosphere was perfect too. Highly recommend.

Tried the world tour dinner option and the food was phenomenal! Had a couple things that didn’t make for a completely amazing experience though.1. Hidden 8% service fee. If you’re going to have a fee for the back of house, totally fine, but at least tell me about it. If I didn’t look at the itemized receipt behind the signed bill I wouldn’t have known about it at all. I’ll happily pay more per meal if it means the BOH gets more! But don’t try to sneak in this fee.2. Maybe our server was just having an off day, but he did not seem pleased with us or any of the other tables he was serving, totally stoic face and would just put the food on the table. Whatever, didn’t really think much of it. Until I the table next to us ordered the same multiple course meal and their server talked about each food as it was brought out, giving it a little background. Maybe that wasn’t standard and their server was going above and beyond, but maybe at least a little something between these two extremes would have made this “world tour” really pop.

After suffering from Herpes disease for 5 years I finally finished taking Dr. Ojamo remedy and went to the hospital for check up and my doctor told me I was cured and was very curious about it because it’s so unbelievably, I visited his page on Facebook and reached out to him. Thanks so much Dr. Ojamo https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071521471599

I'm so happy to be working with Chief Lucky. I was diagnosed with Herpes a couple of years ago and my doctor was less than helpful. Chief Lucky has provided invaluable recommendations for herbal treatment! I've recently started using the herbal treatment and I've noticed change. When i was done with the herbal treatment i go for test, I found out I am negative. I would highly recommend reaching out to Chief Lucky… Email [email protected] Http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky Https://chiefdrlucky.com WhatsApp +2348132777335

I had a great experience here. My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary. The around the world food package was great. It was a new and fun experience. I recommend sitting outside during good weather. Our server was knowledgeable and very nice. At the end of the date my boyfriend and I were full and satisfied. I would come back here again.

Arrived 12:00. First course served at 12:53. We asked for the desserts to be boxed at 14:00. 2 hours and they couldn’t serve all courses. No espresso machine.? I couldn’t risk ordering coffee and waiting longer. Food was quite nice, if a little plain. They shaved the bill but it still seemed a bit much. There are so many better places around this area. We would not return, would not recommend.

Coming here was one of the best meals I ever had but one of the worst experiences I ever had since I moved to the DMV area. Went a Wednesday around 7PM to celebrate my birthday with my mom and grandma. Our server was amazingly friendly and attentive and so the front desk people. I’m taking a star because of security reasons, that day we sat in the outdoor tables. When we were about to get the last part of our Vegetarian Tour of the World course (couldn’t taste the dessert hahah) a guy came to our table and stole my grandmas purse like it was nothing, I ran with high heels in order to catch him screaming for help but nothing really (besides another guy that was eating with his girlfriend next to our table). The server told us the check was going to be for free, which we were thankful because it wasn’t really the server or the chefs fault for security reasons.Everything was delicious! No complaints on their food. Their butternut squash was so creamy and flavorful! Their hot cocktail was out of the world!!Please add some security cameras around, at least for the people that dine outdoors during night! Or close the space so it’s harder for robbers to step in your cart area please m!! Personal recommendation, please dine indoors!!!!

I love Compass Rose — I used to come here monthly, if not bi-weekly. The dishes are so interesting, and the concept is really cool. The atmosphere is unique and funky yet cozy, and the service is always genuine, friendly, and fun. But the past few times I’ve been a little disappointed with a few food items (this hurts me to write!). While some dishes like the khachapuri will always be a knockout, the patatas bravas tasted off and the chicken skewers were just so so — previously two of my favorites. I’ll still come back because the changing menu leads to getting to try new dishes, but unfortunately the last couple times haven’t measured up to what this amazing restaurant used to be.

This place is such a vibe! My husband I were just passing by and saw the outdoor seating. We didn’t see the name of the spot but when we went inside the decor, music, and aroma was just perfect! So we sat at the bar and ordered the Spicy Bag and a few drinks. Food was delicious and E the bartender kept the drinks flowing! Great day vibe and I can only imagine if at night! Can’t wait to go back!
