Sadly we waited for over 20 minutes before we were even brought water and a menu. It was a real shame because the food was great. Our server did try to make up for things by being super attentive once he realised that we were unhappy

Food wasn’t ok, tasteless and they don’t seem to know the difference between medium and well-done. Ice tea was literally earl-grey mixed with cold water and ice. All in all not what we expected or hoped for.

Promptly shown to a table. Not sure if reservation was‘acknowledged’. Friendly service (Gabriela:from El Salvador). Didn’t have the wine we asked for, but alternative was acceptable. Food was hot and very good.

I love how Dupont Italian Kitchen's location was centered during Pride Month. You knew you were in a safe place. I enjoyed lunch with my friend and our meal was great! We were the first ones at the restaurant that day - it has great street views so you can see the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
