Art and Soul at YOTEL Washington DC

If you like yotel hotels and ikea style ambiance, this is for you. The service was friendly and checked on us regularly.

The crab deviled eggs were bad. Do not order them. No crab and they lack flavor.

The short rib has was fantastic. Exactly as expected and very rich. The bacon isn’t too greasy and cooked perfectly.

Overall it’s a good brunch if you’re at the hotel or nearby.

My dog got The Hungry Dawg (grilled and sliced sirloin) and Peanut-Banana Pupsicles (miniature frozen treats)! He loved them! I enjoyed drinking their COMO LA FLOR which was so good🍸

Food was fantastic. We had chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits . The shrimp and grits were reminiscent of Carolina coast - fine grits with a little spicy shrimp. Highly recommend!

This was such a savvy and cozy spot! We were a few minutes short of arriving for breakfast, but the lunch menu did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and quite helpful in assisting with our food selections. The Maryland Crab Deviled Eggs, Smoked Chicken Salad with Chipotle Vinaigrette, and the 8 oz. Sirloin Steak were all beautifully plated and even better tasting! If we could’ve sampled the entire menu, we would’ve; but, we’ll be back for more!

I was walking around DC and I looked up Black Owned Restaurants and this one came up. Not sure if it’s actually black owned but that’s okay cuz the food and service was good. I didn’t realize it was apart of the hotel. Really nice aesthetic on the inside. Very warm and inviting as I was greeted by the hostess. I sat by the bar and the bartender gave me the menu and made suggestions of what I should get. I trusted his judgment and got the Chefs Special which was roughly $42. I got the mimosa, which was not bottomless, got the Buttermilk Chicken and Waffles plus the house made blueberry bread. Everything tasted amazing. The mimosas was a really tall glass so I definitely felt he buzz, bartender out a splash of OJ in it so that was appreciated. Chicken and waffles were seasoned through and through while the waffle was soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice crisp. And the blueberry bread was simply amazing. I strongly recommend the blueberry bread. Definitely a spot to check out in DC.

Very nice restaurant attached to Yotel, we went looking for chicken and waffles and were very happy with our meal. The chicken was very tender, waffle was very flavorful, waitress suggested the spicy maple syrup that was very good. Overall an amazing dining experience. They also had live music that was a very nice touch.

The food was great! The owner was very accommodating and made sure that our large group was serviced appropriately. I’d recommend this brunch spot to anyone and everyone!

Wonderful Sunday brunch experience. We were seated almost immediately. Right away you notice the patio area, welcoming ambiance, great lightning, and a beautiful decor.

Our server, Victor, was amazing and spot-on with his recommendations. We decided to go with the Chef 3 Course Brunch meal, generous amount of food for the price.
I wanted to highlight the Chicken and Waffles, great balance between sweet and spicy. The Strawberry Cinnamon Roll was delicious, not too overwhelming. Our meal also included the Steak and Egg entire, can't go wrong and everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Definitely a great place for brunch, good food, great service, and a laid back atmosphere.

Ordered chicken sandwich which was great, fries were very well seasoned and tasty. We told the waiter we only had 30min and he said no problem, got us food and check in and out in 30min. Outdoor seating was nice. Right when you walk in Art and Soul it did smell heavy of cigarette smoke which I took a point off of atmosphere for.

Easily one of my favorite places. Took my dog to the patio, and had amazing food, great service, and good vibes. Loved it so much went 2 nights in a row. It’s a must try spot! Angel took care of us and he is the best service staff ever.

My dog loved the hungry dog steak dish best. And all the human food is chefs kiss. <3

Such a cool spot and food was delicious! We didn't get brunch but the lunch menu was excellent. Mimosas were perfect and music was fun.

This place is nice on the inside and out. Nice bar and top notch service. We had brunch here. Food was clutch. I had the steak and my wife the salmon. Definitely recommend this place for brunch!

My husband and I stayed in the Yotel and decided to eat here for lunch. My husband had visited years before and said the food was amazing and he was not wrong. I just has a burger and fries and it was so good. This was one of the best burgers I’ve bit into this year, it was good! I had a medium rare bacon cheeseburger with fried egg, onion rings and barbecue sauce. Heaven! My husband also enjoyed his salad. The entire dining experience was great. Our waiter was attentive and the staff were all very friendly. I am looking forward to returning for brunch or dinner soon! This place was nice!

I had the opportunity to dine at Art and Soul for both Breakfast and Dinner. Both meals were fantastic. Breakfast was the farmers Breakfast and dinner was the Angus Burger at the bar. Not only was the food delicious, the service for both meals was the best I've had in quite some time. Jada was my server at Breakfast and she was an absolute delight providing a wonderful recommendation for my meal and very warm and welcoming.
Jane, the bartender at dinner also made a phenomenal recommendation and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. I very much hope both of these fantastic ladies get the recognition they deserve and I will come back next time I visit DC specifically because of them. Thank you Jada and Jane!

SOOO TASTY!!! There quite a variety of foods - it’s hard to categorize the type of food… but everything we had was SO GOOD! The spring fever drink was AMAAAAZING! The steak was so yummy! The brunch was especially tasty!! That Benedict was AMAZINGGGGG!! Only disappointment was the lack of bougie coffee options at breakfast haha - for how bougie the rest is, I kinda expected some more coffee options, but the food was AMAZING! Literally didn’t have to leave the hotel…the food was so good each time!

A creative presentation with a flavors that will drive you wild.

Really enjoyed this meal. My girlfriend has been wanting to go here for four years and tonight we enjoyed 7 different dishes. All were unique. All were flavorful. The short rib with the pumpkin mole was a really great autumn meal. If you like sashimi, get the hamachi crudo.

Our waiter was Casey. Thank you for your outstanding service and attentiveness this evening. Food came out quickly and we were check on regularly.

Check this place out for a great date night!

The food here is so amazing. Pricing was reasonable. Portion sizes are nice and filling. I am a vegetarian and there were options for me. I got the homemade Mushroom Tangliatelle and a side of homemade rolls with honey butter that were amazing. Service was great, "KC" was my server and he was a delight. You can tell the servers like their jobs. I highly recommend this restaurant whether staying at The Yotel or not. It is worth the dining experience. No question about it, JUST GO. For dessert I had the best blackberry sorbet ever.

This place is phenomenal! The food, the atmosphere and, the staff. The host was very gracious and patient with me and my party. The chicken and Waffles S-L-A-P! I will definitely come back and I highly recommend!!

Dog menu available! The portions are a little small for $8 but hey it’s a cool concept/idea to include them! The rest of the food was on par. Brussels sprouts and salmon cooked to perfection. We all just had a really good lunch. They don’t do breakfast or brunch on the weekends it’s straight to the lunch menu when they open at 1130. Nice outdoor seating and propane if it’s cold. Next time we will have to check out the inside of this restaurant!

The food here is amazing. Service was 10/10. From the moment we arrived we were treated like VIP. KC was our server, he was the absolute best! The restaurant is attached to a hotel. We were blown away by the ambience. Each sub-room had its own little vibe. I had the short rib which was slightly salty but tasty flavorful and fresh nevertheless. We would definitely return to try their dinner.
