We love Lora 10/10 would back just bc of her 10s across the board. Super fun and very accommodating
Very good esthetics & decor.
The music is way too loud though, even before the DJ started at 9pm. Food was ultimately good. There was an issue with my order and they re-fired it quickly. Granted, the manager made a point to say it was my preference versus the fact it was under

I went here for my birthday August 2025 and it happened to still be restaurant week the food was decent the vibe was so so so cute and the table side Matcha Martini was a fun touch!
We came to Balos to celebrate my friend's birthday.
The food and drinks were very good, but the service was extremely disappointing. From the start, we were given a hard time about how many people were in our party, which made the celebration stressful. What shocked me most was at the end -- they actu

If you want to be underwhelmed, overcharged & a punching bag all dinner- this is your place! Was seated in between the bar and tables (aka a walkway!) and had our bags knocked off our chairs 10+ times (waitress offered bag holders and never broug
Mehhhh.
Food is ok. Vibes are good if you like the pre night club restaurant Tulum/Santorini feel. Service is excellent. I heard a lot of chatter from the servers and it sounds like they are pressed to turn tables. In fact I believe this place has a time lim
great food and I love the espresso martini.
also just love all the florals around the front & the hallway with the mirror
The food was good, but the noise level was extreme.
It was almost impossible to hear the other three people at the table, because the music was loud with a heavy beat and we were seated next to two large parties in succession and another large party close by. The waiter bordered on rude and was abrupt
Good and service was amazing.
Did not appreciate - after spending $900 for a party of 5 - being told I met my time limit - mind you 80% of the tables around us were seated before we go there. Not sure if need to book twice to finish my desert and after dinner drink. Will not rus
Great food great service.
Where they disappointed was when some random "hostess" came up to us after spending upwards of $800 to tell us to leave. I understand the 2 hour limit however multiple tables were sat before us and were not bothered. The "hostess"

This is my fourth time coming here and this is only three blocks from my office, so it has slowly become a staple since it has opened. I've also gone to the bar for happy hour a few times. The service was top-tier and the food has never disappoi

Brunch was great! Our server Milos was kind and very attentive. Me and my guest ordered the steak and eggs and it was delish! Oh the Greek salad was amazing and so fresh! Star of the show was the baklava and matcha and salted caramel martinis. I h

Balos is actually one of my favorite DC restaurants because of the cuisine, picture opportunities, and vibes. I never had poor service here, and maybe it was because I was always with girls, but last night was a very different experience. I believe I
2 $75 surcharges on our bill and horrible service.
Food was good but not good enough to want to return. The ambiance was nice and the bathroom area was pretty with florals.
10/10 experience for my birthday.
We went on a Thursday night and it was the perfect crowd--not too busy but a perfect crowd for a night of fun for celebrating ME! Our server was great, food was great, and vibes were a 10/10. We had to do the prefixe menu based on the group size--was

Went back to Balos today after about a month after my last visit and of course it did not disappoint! I did try the crab cakes today, and although the portions were great they could have had just a little more seasoning in the crab but overall they w
Excellent food.
Great service, I asked for a bit of an off menu accommodation which they graciously did for me. I saw several large groups so is nice to know they manage groups of at least about 12 or so at once, The restaurant is extremely loud though, once it star

It has been a while since we went to Balos and it's really good to be home! Honestly, the food is almost a secondary reason to go here because the service, the atmosphere and the dining room are so great. The dining room at Balos is like being

They rush you along, you feel like you are a bother to the service people. The DJ starts at 8pm, and the music is as loud as a club. We were literally screaming at each other to have a convo. Will definitely not come back for dinner, until they fi
The food was so fresh, delicious and filling.
The flavors were all there and the pita bread was insanely soft and mouthwatering. I didn't get pictures or the main entrees but they were absolutely delicious. We got the caviar bumps with a shot of tequila which was a fun touch to wrap up dinn

I went on a Wednesday after work in the atmosphere was a little quiet considering it was 6 PM on a weekday, but the service was great and all the food was so fresh. I would love to go back on the weekends when they have a DJ and do the napkin throwin

Went for a night out to celebrate my sister's bday and had an amazing time. Warning up front, it's loud, but we knew that going in. We made the reservation that day (luckily there was a cancellation) and Ollie was very helpful and recommend
Connect with users posting reservations for Balos Estiatorio Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Balos Estiatorio Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Balos Estiatorio Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Balos Estiatorio Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Balos Estiatorio Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Balos Estiatorio Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
