LYDIA ON H

Stopped by for Taco Tuesday. Great music. Good service. Themed nights (e.g. karaoke, ladies night) and happy hour. They also have a good rewards system, earned $6 off next visit. Even though I'm not local, I'd return for those reasons. The food was just okay. Jerk chicken tacos- 3/5 small. Chicken moist but lacked flavor. Needed a sauce, got some jerk on the side which helped. Mac and cheese- 4/5 creamy, cheesy cooked well. Solid mac. Could use a little flavor, like there's salt but no body if that makes sense. Virgin mojito 3/5 okay, everyone makes them different. But $8 for whats essentially gingerale with lime & mint is on the expensive side. (Usually pay $4-5). Rum cake- 1/5. Ordered to go. Not good or worth $12 for this slice. But honestly I should have known when I was to

First time at Lydia on H St thanks and I have to say, the food was good, the service was better. Jay was incredibly attentive, offering great recommendations and was genuinely kind and respectful throughout my visit. The beef patty might be the best one I've ever had, hands down! The jollof rice was flavorful, abeit slightly hard. The Frozen Piña Colada was on point. Loved the great music and ambience. Jay's service made this visit memorable. Highly recommend and will be back.

The good was DELICIOUS! First time visiting this establishment. I traveled from VA Beach and would definitely recommend it. The food was piping hot. My snapper was to die for.

Went here for a night out with friends and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was electric, great vibes, great music, and even better food. I ordered the oxtail dinner, and wow… it was absolutely fantastic. Not a single grain of rice was left on my plate. My friends went for the pasta, and they couldn’t stop raving about it. We all left full, happy, and already talking about when we’re coming back. Highly recommend! Lastly I’ve been to a lot of restaurants this restaurant fills your glass all the time that was very, very impressive!

I visited the place yesterday, and it was a great experience. Eric, our server, was on point from the moment we arrived. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the evening. The oxtail dinner was served warm and was simply the best. The food, service, and overall atmosphere made our night celebration very special. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again.
