Restaurant Reviews for Domaso - Palomar Hotel Arlington

Domaso - Palomar Hotel Arlington reservations Domaso - Palomar Hotel Arlington

1121 North 19th Street
Arlington, VA 22209

Captivating on every level, Domaso Trattoria Moderna sets the tone for Arlington restaurants. Located on the fourth floor of Hotel Palomar Arlington in Rosslyn, this exceptional Italian restaurant offers gorgeous views of the Georgetown skyline and a dining experience to match. Food, drink, atmosphere and service unite harmoniously at Domaso. Like a beautiful Italian aria, every note is pitch perfect. The 14-foot vaulted ceiling soars over an open dining room where the exhibition kitchen is the deserved focal point. Our glass-enclosed bakery off the dining room turns out artisan breads while a unique leather floor and sleek marble-topped bar grace the lively lounge. Domaso's menus are Modern Italian in concept, and sophisticated dishes take their cue from the country's diverse cuisine, boasting the freshness of local, seasonal ingredients. House-made pastas share the limelight alongside imaginative and flawlessly prepared seafood and meats.

Dining Style: Casual Elegant
Price: $31 to $50
Parking: Valet

"I am a big fan of the Kimpton hotels and associated restaurants. Unfortunately Domaso was just OK. We also were there for Dining Out, which i received an email from Kimpton about. However, our waiter had no idea what we were talking about. My filet special was very tasty, and the specialty drinks were very good. I would go back, but not my first choice."

"The food was great, specially the scallop entree, chestnut soup, their fresh bread and homemake butter, is prefect, so yup-me, but the grilled fish was a little salty. Friendly staffs provided professional service to us, we went there for celebrate Valentine's day, we seated next to big window have romantic dinner with beautiful view. There are decent place for business dinner and romantic place for couple. I definitely will go there again."

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"While the winter squash soup was excellent, the chicken breast was a bit dry and tough. Some of the penne was cooked properly and some was very under done. The chocolate torte was excellent. Overall I wasn't blown away by the food.

The wine list was very confusing and way too expensive, especially for the lower food quality.

"I will not be back. Most wines on the wine list were over $100, but the food and service were not of the same caliber. The whole place is out of synch - wines priced for a five-star restaurant, semi-bumbling service from an everyday eatery, and just ok food. I left feeling very confused."

"This was out second time dining at this restaurant and we had exactly the same issues with our service. Waited for water and bread and someone to notice us once we were seated. Food is very good...but they need to ramp up their wait staff. In addition their wine list leaves alot to be desired. They offer a sparse selection of wines under $100 - the bulk of the list is over $100. We asked for two wines...neither were available...however they did suggest a good alternative in our price range that wasn't on the this."

"Had lunch on MLK day and overall not very good. Valet parking has NO signs anywhere what the cost is to park the car. (ATM on 4th floor!) Got to the restaurant a bit late, no parking. Was informed kitchen closes at 2:30pm Ordered Calimari Fritti and it was cooked well BUT greasy..fryer not hot enough. entree Very average and overall drab tired-looking restaurant. This was my 4th visit to Domaso and it has gotten progresively worse. I will probably not return."

"We enjoyed our dinner at Domaso. From the drinks to the service to dessert, everything was outstanding. The waitress recommended one of their specialty drinks when I told her I was looking for something with Limoncello; it was delicious. My husband enjoyed his winter squash soup--he's very particular, so it must have been great (he didn't share!). My frito misto was OK; it was a bit bland and there should have been more sauce. We both enjoyed our entrees immensely; I had the flat iron steak and my husband had the grilled chicken. My steak was cooked perfectly. We shared a fudgy dessert (I don't recall the name) which was also very good. We were also very pleased with the window view. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again."

"Requested that my food be prepared differently than what the menu stated, my instructions were not followed. I had to request refills on the beverages, and overall service was inattentive. Perhaps they were too busy that day. Overall the resteraunt food is good, but very limited menu.. it is worth going one or twice... it is the best sit down choice in the Rosslyn area."
