Panache - Washington

We had a groupon for panache and went before a comedy show at dc improw. the food was excellent and the service was impeccable. it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night, but we enjoyed it! will definitely go back!

We had a lovely lunch, our food and our waitress Amy was great. Definitely will go back, loved the ambiance .

On the noise level rating, rather than energetic (too euphemistic! , I would re label it as overly noisy . I like Panache the lamb was excellent. But every time I 've gone there, I 've struggled with the noise level. As I 'm hard of hearing, I reserved a table next to the entrance and the window, which the staff did. But at the peak of lunch hour, I still found it difficult to hear even my younger friend (who is not hard of hearing commented on the noise level. It 's the only reason I don 't go there more often. Other than that, service and food were very good.

Came here for dinner with my mom. First note, there are no real bargains on the wine list--all wines were $10+ for pretty humdrum stuff. We were seated quickly, the restaurant was nice and quiet, and the food was decent. This is going to sound more negative than I really want it to, but this place is totally fine--if you are in from out of town and want a low-key nice serviceable meal (which is exactly what you are looking for sometimes!! , then this is a good pick, but it's not really anything super special. I do think that overall everything on the menu is priced a little too high.

Food was yummy and the service was great at the beginning but then faltered for some reason. And it was really warm sitting in the front corner of the restaurant by the window. The a/c vent was close to the table but unfortunately the way it pointed meant that no air got to the corner which made dining a bit uncomfortable as it was about 95 degrees that evening. But I would go back for sure!
