Best date-night restaurants on U Street

U Street date night in this directory has one printed clock. Maydan names 10:00 a.m. and does not name a time zone. Bresca’s site, checked the same week, still will not say.

Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.

Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
