jaytini Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Has anyone ever eaten there (Cilantro in G-town)? i pass by it every once in a while, and the decor looks interesting, but i have only seen the post review. Barring that, where else is good for tapas in DC? there used to be a place in Shirlington, but that has been closed and replaced by a (from what i hear, unless i am getting the reviews confused with another restaurant) subpar italian restaurant.

I stopped in for dessert a few weeks ago, after a Mark-Slater-inspired Tavern Treat at Martin's Tavern, and had a way-too-sweet housemade creme caramel. Taking a quick walk-thru, I wasn't that impressed with what I saw on the tables (very boring looking salads, for example), though it was merely a first impression, and the service was very welcoming and friendly. Despite the name, Cilantro is more Lebanese than anything else. Cheers, Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghan Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I don't recommend it. I found the food to be sloppy and overpriced. And the sangria (a signature drink) to be unlawful-- made with the worst wine and served from a pre-made vat that wasn't chilled enough. I think I went there to watch telvision, to be honest.
