Scarlet Oak DC

I'm giving 4 stars for the very cold beer (excellent); the friendly, efficient greeter and waitress; the quaint/clean environment. I would give my meal 3 stars. I had the ravioli...four large disks, filled with beef, surrounded by marinara, served with brussel sprouts. The ravioli pasta was al dente with tough edges; the beef stuffing was pureed and luke warm; the marinara was oily; only 3 brussel sprouts on the plate. I'm willing to try again though...my husband thoroughly enjoyed his dish (chicken pesto).

Great service. Great brunch. Pizzas are fantastic.

While its marquee pays tribute to the official tree of Washington DC, this 2-year old restaurant (conveniently located a few blocks from the Nationals Stadium) proudly goes up to bat and scores in creating culinary goodness, noteworthy wine & spirits and decor that exemplifies classy casual dining to punctuate its conveniently accessible Navy Yard location.The cuisine at Scarlet Oak perfectly pairs with impressive wine and spirits selections. The servers are very attentive to the needs of patrons. Between its tasty brick oven pizza selections, scrumptious bar bites including curry shrimp, roasted brussel sprouts and fresh mussels, the dining experience delightfully exceeds expectations. White walls, colorful artwork, tufted banquettes and communal tables add to its winning appeal as it melds its presence with the modern aesthetics of city living.
