Actually good, not overrated:

Rasika (but it has been awhile since I've been)
Little Serow

No, no, no...... Roses luxury is in no way overrated. The queue is a hassle but the price is reasonable and the food is superb!

“Queue?” I thought we were talking about DC, not London, restaurants. Or maybe you’re just trying to sound fancy.

Its just a better word, more precise.. If I say "the wait" its pretty vague. "The line" not really ideal either. I don't know, is there a better way to say it? I mean I grew up in Michigan but I quickly adopted this from my English friends because I thought it was a more efficient way of describing it.

You get there before it opens, and you stand in . . . wait for it . . . a line. "The line" works fine. Stop putting on airs.

Compare
"You get there before it opens, and you stand in . . . wait for it . . . a line"
to "queue"

Much simpler. I have no affinity for England which you seem to as you thinks queue is fancy whereas I think its just a word.
Restroom/bathroom is superior to water closet to me *shrugs*

You’re an idiot. You don’t say, “You get there before it opens, and you stand in . . . wait for it . . . a line.” You just say “the line” instead of “the queue.” Just own up to the fact that you want to put on airs, it’s fine (which is ridiculous, btw, given that you are from Michigan LOL).

You wrote that.... and Michigan is awesome but areas rise and fall. DC was trash when I was a kid.

DC is still trash. I’m not from Michigan, I’m not from DC, and I’m not putting on airs. I’m also not the PP who wrote that.

DC is fine. Many of the people the rest of the country send here to run the nation are trash. Looking at you, flyover country.

I think you just proved that not all of the trash is from flyover country. Anyway, I am from flyover country, and I think that food and restaurants are much better there. This is why I cook instead of going out now. We’ve had enough of overpriced, mediocre food and indifferent service.

Sorry, but if you think Little Serow is overrated, you know nothing about food.

Dude - I’m entitled to my opinion. Go eat at little sorrow.

Happily. Enjoy your pad thai from Tara Thai.

Haha! Isn’t the point of this thread to flag highly rated restaurants that are overrated? I’ve never been to tara Thai but given cost, difficulty getting a table, and unlisted number the two meals might come out about the same. If you think serrow experience is worth the money go for it. DC restaurants survive on people like you.

I agree that Little Serow was overrated. The flavors and textures weren’t that fresh or vibrant.

Try something other than Applebee’s and Olive Garden.

Huh, I love Zaytinya. Especially the vegetable dishes. I eat there at least twice a year (which is saying a lot since I have two small kids and don't get out much these days).

My contribution for over-rated is Q by Peter Chang, though I readily admit that if I cared for Sichuan peppers (the numbing ones), I would probably feel differently. I really dislike them though so that eliminates half the menu. For the other half, I've had practically the same dish, better done, bigger portions, and at half the price, at the myriad excellent Chinese places in Rockville (especially Bob's Shanghai 66). The exception is Q's dumplings -- all uniformly outstanding.

I liked Blue Duck, though it was one of those places where the food is very well done but just not that interesting/exciting. I didn't feel any need to go back.

You people need to stop eating. All the chewing , lip smacking, swallowing , chewing and chewing and swallowing then gulping then digesting and the diarrhea and fecal excretions then all over again with the chewing and slurping and gas buildup. Then in the little time you have between the chewing and farting and defecating and slurping and gulping you spend that time critiquing the idiosyncrasies of the dead animals, plants and fermented excretions you slurp, gulp , Chew , swallow and ultimately foul the water supply with.

Komi. I was on the fence until presented with the "cod from the chef's home island." It was cod. Big waste of money.
