Received a $25 voucher and a recommendation to try the restaurant by the front desk, so after I settled in I went up to give it a shot. I waited so long for service I started to poke my head into the back to see if I could spot someone. Was asked to seat myself and then ordered the pork rib. The food came out quickly and was only a little above average. The food was under seasoned and the pork was stringy and nearing over-cooked. Was shocked to see a 20% “service charge” on my single-person receipt along with a “environmen... read more

Yara is a beautiful restaurant with a view that anyone traveling to Washington should see (perfect for taking pictures as well). On the other hand the food is to die for, one of the best foods on DC! The short rib is a must, as well as the wasabi entree and the volcano roll. The work behind the menu is evident and well thought. The cocktails are delicious and generous with the liquor, not mere sugar or sparkling water. Definitely this is a must when you visit DC!

Every element of our experience at Yara was exemplary. My boyfriend and I arrived, wearing our travel clothes, and the hostesses treated us as if we were visiting royalty. Their kindness had us feeling at home right away. They allowed us to choose whichever table we were most comfortable at, and didn't mind when we moved because we were too cold (the heaters did warm a majority of the outdoor patio though). Our server, Eric, was extremely attentive and hospitable. He asked for my dietary restrictions, and made sure that not ... read more

Jeff - Host Ximena - Server Rooftop outside seating is beautiful. The music brings a dope vibe. Mixed with the summer breeze you could forget you’re not dining in a Latin country. The drinks were great. I had a mocktail and gf had a mimosa bar with the Chica Morada. She loved it. Got the pollo and waffles. Really liked the rocoto pepper jam. Sweet and spicy. Delicious! The waffle was a little hard and cold. Chicken was warm had a good rotisserie flavor. My gf did not like the salchi + fries. The fries were good but both ... read more

Incredible culinary experience, ambiance and professional staff. Chef Yuki is a dedicated master of his craft, blending the best of Peruvian and Japanese, a fusion that dates back to Japanese who immigrated to Peru over 100 years ago. There are dishes here that you won’t find at any other Peruvian restaurant in the entire US. Make sure you try the Andino Caliente ceviche. This is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Shoutout to Troy at the bar, a true mixologist. Looking forward to returning again soon.
