Sospeso
This spot is Permanently Closed.
During the week, you'll often find couples having heartfelt chats at the bar in Sospeso. You might even feel tempted to pull up a stool and join in as soon as you step into this Mediterranean restaurant on H St. Don't get distracted by the chatter and the blue Spanish tiles that greet you as soon as you walk into the Mediterranean restaurant on H St, grab a table instead because you don't want to miss out on the branzino which is usually sold out by the end of the night. Sit upstairs by windows that overlook H St. or opt for the alcove on the first floor that almost feels like a private room, which is great if you’re looking for something more intimate. Service here can be a bit unpredictable and will at times require you to flag down your server—admittedly very annoying—but the food is good enough to bring you back.
