· Mediterranean restaurant, Bar, Brunch restaurant
· Dupont Circle
Lively Turkish-Mediterranean spot with excellent mezze and warm hospitality, but expect small plates, noise at peak times, and premium pricing with auto service charge.
Our take
Agora DC delivers excellent food quality anchored by standout mezze and grilled seafood, supported by attentive, personable service that earns loyal followings. However, inconsistent execution during peak and brunch hours—uneven mezze, service slowdowns, and policy friction—prevents grade A territory. The warm, lively setting with attractive patio appeals to neighborhood diners but lacks destination-level distinction.
One caveat: Pricing is premium and portions are small; expect multiple plates per person
