Capitol Square Bar & Grill: A Haven for Comfort Food Lovers in DC

Wow, this place is absolutely incredible! From the service to the food, the ambiance, and everything in between, it’s all top-notch. Chef Freddy really knows how to put his magic touch on each dish. The flavors are simply divine! My absolute favorites are the egusi soup and the plantain and egg bowl. I’ll definitely be back here again and again!

Capital Square Bar & Grill was our first meal in DC. Don't be fooled by the name, Freddie is more than a burger flipper. As you can tell be the photos, the presentation is excellent. The taste is out standing! Highly recommend dining here!

Absolutely LOVE this place! Have driven by for years and finally stopped in for a Friday night date night during happy hour. My husband and I love Washington, D.C. happy hour options and theirs were pretty good either way gluten free and vegetarian options. Started our dining experience with a vodka cran for myself and the house red for my partner. Then we ended up splitting the amazing plantains nachos, strawberry feta and blueberry salad and the most delicious mashed potatoes I think I’ve ever had. Our waitress was super helpful and nice while helping me navigate my gluten free options. We got to meet the chef too and he was so friendly. Can’t wait to come back, especially for their brunch deals and specials.

We had a wonderful experience at DC Capitol Square Bar & Grill. The service was outstanding and Chef Fredy personally made sure everything was perfect, which truly elevated our visit. The food was exceptional, started with the creamiest, most flavorful cream crab that was chef’s kiss! The lamb chops were tender and flavorful, the sides were fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend this spot for both the amazing food and the warm, attentive service.

We made a reservation for 12:30 on a Sunday and the table was ready with menu opens as soon as we arrived. We ate and had paid our checks by 1:40, just illustrating the quick and efficient service Freddie provided. We had French toast, catfish, oxtail, wings, salad and other items. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. Definitely take a moment to stop and enjoy this neighborhood gem. Street parking on E Capitol was pretty plentiful, especially when the school is not in session.

This bar and grill is a very nice spot in Capital Hill, adding good food and good vibes alike. The food is something to write home to mom about. It serves African and Latin fusion flavors, full of spices balanced just right. I had the Capital Square chicken and it was delicious. It turns into a lounge at night with live entertainment. Definitely worth checking out!

Great atmosphere, very instagramable. We tried the African Mama cocktail (frozen), for apps we had the Oxtail spring rolls and the cream of crab—both super tasty. For my entrée I ordered the lamb chops, absolutely delicious . Chef Fredy made the overall experience delightful.
