I was really looking forward to Mourayo, just a short walk from our guest house. I obviously ordered the wrong dish because my husband's entree was very nice. I misread Orzo for Ouzo and expected the "Stewed monkfish, garlic, tomatoes, white wine, & lobster stock, black and white orzo" to be a traditional fish stew with plenty of flavour from... More

Food here was to die for. Service was efficient and pleasant. Both my husband and I could eat here regularly.

The food was very good, and so was the service. We were seated right away, the recommended vine turned out to be really good. The chef made a chicken and pasta dish for children that was not on the menu and they liked it very much. We had muscles and meat balls for appetizers, both very simple and tasty. Moussaka... More

My second time dining here in a month and I loved it. Great service and location in the 1700 block of Connecticut NW. A little pricey, but still a good value all in all. Room is tastefully decorated and fairly quiet. I will go back again.

I had high expectations given TA reviews. This is a wonderful Greek restaurant, food is upscale, but the environment is not stuffy. Great service, good location in DuPont Circle 2 blocks from the Metro. The appetizers were a big hit with our crowd and the Lamb chops won our review for the best entree we ordered.

I was at Mourayo recently, and the experience reminded me why I should go there more often. I grew up eating Greek food, but their approach takes the taste to the next level. Fresh fish as well as great ingredients make it always a treat. The Salata Voskou is my favorite appetizer, any of the fish plates, the mousakka and... More

We chose Mourayo on our recent trip based on trip advisor reports. Although not busy when we arrived at 7pm we were asked if we had reservations (we did). Service was efficient and friendly, the food delicious and creative. We would go back!

We head to DC for business each spring and last year we found this gem of a Greek restaurant. Located near DuPont Circle, it is easy to find and to park near if driving. Charming owners, efficient waitstaff, and lovely wine list. There is nothing on the menu that disappoints. Every morsel is to savor ! We will return next... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mourayo. Our party of three had three different entrees, lamb, tuna, and vegan. Each was rated to be excellent. The server, a very pleasant and efficient young woman, was most helpful in arranging a variety for presentation of the vegan entree which was outstanding in its variety and taste. Well located in the Dupont... More
