The Best DC Restaurants For Your Birthday Dinner - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"There are many fantastic things about Ambar, but the one that makes it really stand out for birthdays is that every meal is bottomless (and bottomless drink options at brunch and dinner). That means you don’t have to limit yourself, and why should you? It's your day. The Balkan spot on Capitol Hill keeps the endless plates coming with tiny—and we do mean tiny—bites like the Balkan kebab that tastes like an elevated Brown ‘N Serve sausage. Thankfully, the food is so good you’ll want to try everything, so the small portions are perfect. There’s space for a larger group in the semi-private bar area upstairs, and a rooftop for when it’s not too hot." - Tristiana Hinton
