Utopian Experience at Utopia

ASSI - Utopia is one of my favorite restaurants in Washington, DC located on 14th and U Street, N.W. has an eclectic decor all of the paintings that adorn the wall were painted by Jamalie the owner who also owns Sousies located on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. The last time that we were there the food was better than the service and drinks but generally service is better. In the past when Jamalie was always there the drinks, service and food was excellent. I really enjoyed dining and being social at Utopia but after awhile it was too much of the sameole-sameole the menu still the same from the last time we were there about 8 months ago; however the did offer a couple of specials. A trio band use to play on the weekends but I am unable to confirm if a band still plays. The restaurant use to be small and quaint until the expansion came after the space next door became available. The last couple times we had the pleasure of dinning at Utopia's the drinks were just okay but it a great place for an intimate evening and good gathering place for a social evening with friends. As I see it i give Utopia 3 blinks solely based on our last visit.
