"This Middle Eastern spot dishes out some of the most delicious food in Navy Yard, including its Sofra tasting menu, which is the correct choice here (unless you’re in a rush on game day). You'll get some of the best pita in the city and crunchy, build-it-yourself lettuce wraps with carrot and tuna filling. Albi has a buzz, mostly thanks to diners excitedly talking about their meals. It’s not the spot if you’re looking for a rowdy, drunken pregame, but it’s perfect for a more tame group catch-up before hitting the ballpark or heading out for the night. Reservations open a month in advance, and that's when you should book if you want to avoid the early bird 5pm dinner slot. Albi does offer walk-in seating at the bar, but you’ll miss all the action in the dining room and open kitchen." - tristiana hinton, mekita rivas
