Maté is a club / sushi bar located in Georgetown on 3101 K Street.  As with the majority of Latin Concepts venues in the area Maté has a slick, sophisticated vibe, good food and good music.

Cost – $$$

Service – B+
Maté does a good job hiring attractive girls to work as servers and bartenders. The doormen are sometimes a pain in the ass. Especially if there are no gals in your group.

Food – C-
I’ve heard people say that the food at Maté is good. I think that is bullshit. The menu is interesting but doesn’t deliver. The sushi is sub-par.

Decor – C
This may surprise some loyal Maté patrons but I think the place is sort of gross in the evening, when all you have to focus on is the food and general shabbiness of the furniture and fixtures in the place. I guess as long as it is dark and you are a bit buzzed it is fine.

Feel – A
Maté attracts some of the more attractive people in DC. It is a hot-spot for a lot of Persians living in the area and that translates into attractive women.
