★★★★★ 5.0 Arielle H · Jan 2026

Vagabond Bar & Kitchen was an absolute standout. The service was top tier—attentive without hovering, which made the experience feel seamless. Shoutout to manager John and our server David for making sure everything flowed effortlessly from start to finish. The food delivered across the board. The quesabirria was perfectly balanced, the surf & turf with garlic-mint lamb chops and a wood-fired lobster tail was done exactly right, and the pork belly confit melted in your mouth. The catch of the day—oven-baked flounder stuffed with spinach, onions, and garlic—clearly sells out for a reason. One squeeze of lemon took it over the top. Dessert sealed it: a rum-soaked sponge cake with ice cream over grilled pineapple—rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Vagabond is truly a hidden gem in plai

Vagabond has an upstairs open air bar. The bartenders are friendly and energetic. Especially when it's happy hour and packed and they still manage to get your drinks in a timely fashion is great. The food is a must. The sliders and yucca fries are the go to. Go and see for yourself. This is a great spot to meet up with friends. The vibe is always great.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dulce Monzon · Sep 2025

This restaurant is so cute! I love the little rooftop! it’s such a vibe. The food was delicious and the drinks were top-notch. I also love that they have happy hour on Sundays. The only downside was that it was a little confusing at first since no one greeted us when we came in. We didn’t realize you had to go up to the bar to order and that no one would come to the table, which felt a bit strange. Overall though, I’d consider giving them another chance.

★★★★★ 5.0 J Levy · Sep 2025

Stopped in here for a bite to eat and a drink. I sat at the bar and George was the bartender. I was also introduced to Kiehl. The food, drink and staff were amazing and very welcoming. As a tourist, it was so nice to stop in here and leave feeling like you met new friends. I was also given recommendations on things to see and do while in DC! I will be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vincent C ➐ · Dec 2024

This was a good priced breakfast brunch spot. 4.5/5 scrambled eggs, Pura Vida. The potatoes were soft, almost like a mash, and the eggs are really fluffy with great fresh vegetables. 5/5 The sliders I got reminded me of smash burgers . They had a really good umami flavor with the sweet tangy sauce. Overall, I’d say this was a really well priced breakfast spot . So many places now are $20 a plate. This was good portions for under $20.
