"If you want elevated brunch classics near Nationals Park, I head to Silver Social for a satisfying post-event meal." - Paris Wilson
"When you’re looking for a restaurant with good food and a little flair to impress your date (whether it’s early on or well in the game), and also for a place where you won't be overwhelmed with a ridiculously long menu and wine list, try Silver Social in Navy Yard. The views of Nats Park are stunning, especially if you catch the sunset, and the food will make you want to keep eating long after you're full. There’s a bar full of regional beers, wines, and liquors, plus locally-sourced meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The halfsmoke sliders, topped with mustard, pickled cucumbers and onions, are A1." - Tristiana Hinton, Omnia Saed
"Head upstairs through the Silver Diner to get to this 21-plus spot with small plates so good you won’t want to share with the table. Everyone here is laid back and taking in the stunning views of Nats Park—better than any other restaurant in Navy Yard. Sit on the outdoor patio, which has both heaters and air-conditioning, or at the adorable little booths inside on date night. The restaurant showcases food and alcohol from farms, breweries, wineries, and distilleries across the region, including women-owned Republic Restoratives in DC. The halfsmoke sliders, topped with mustard, pickled cucumbers and onions, are A1." - Tristiaña Hinton
"Nearby, Silver Social opened across from the ballpark in the fall, adding another new rooftop hangout to the area’s expanding nightlife scene." - Emily Wishingrad
"Upstairs, Silver Social — the brand’s first true bar and a 21‑and‑up, 121‑seat perch set to open Wednesday, October 26 — targets millennial and game‑day crowds with small plates, booze, and bottomless brunch. I found the menu designed for sharing, with executive chef and Chopped winner Ype Von Hengst likening the approach to “an American way of eating tapas;” daily offerings include scallops with pea and goat cheese risotto, tenderloin medallions with wild mushrooms, flatbreads and sliders, and brunch items such as churro French toast and a meat‑free ranchero hash with a vegan egg substitute, plus sides like latkes and maple bacon. The bar features a substantial wine, beer and cocktail list with twists from beverage manager Richard Torres (Maui Mule, Old Fashioned Cherry Cigar) and drinks highlighting local distillers — for example the “DC Reviver” with Green Hat gin and an orange‑liqueur/absinthe note and a “Strawberry Limoncello Spritz” using Seven 16 vodka — and Silver Social’s hours vary through the week, including late-night weekend service." - Emily Wishingrad
