"Kitchen Savages is all about the community, and brings a much-needed fancy restaurant with serious date night vibes east of the river, complete with black linen tablecloths, gold flatware, and comfortable blue velvet chairs. From their signature fries to the jerk lamb chops, you’ll taste the care that goes into every bite at this Anacostia soul food spot. We’re especially obsessed with the lobster mac and cheese that comes topped with a perfectly fried lobster tail. The music is great, so don’t be surprised if your date wants to go dancing after you’ve finished eating. " - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
