   We were sat about 40 minutes after our reservation time. Apparently several other people were in the same situation so we shared the waiting room with them; somehow they got drinks and appetizers while waiting but I guess we weren’t selected for that service so we just sat unattended until our table was ready. They had a difficult time figuring out that I was drinking sparkling water and my wife wasn’t so nearly every time our water was refilled it was wrong. The food was lukewarm and the drinks took an unnecessarily long time to get to the table. I was told one of my drinks wasn’t made up to standards so they had to remake it, not sure how that happens at a Michelin star restaurant but it is what it is. It’s almost like they have great food and drinks but didn’t expect more than a few tables to be occupied for the night. We won’t be going back.

   Okay food, nothing overwhelmingly delicious. Seems to me Michelin grades on a curve here in D.C.

   Hi Ronald, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you had just an okay experience, specifically that the food didn’t meet your expectations. That’s certainly not the standard we aim to uphold. We always strive to provide dishes that are memorable and exciting, and we’re disappointed that we missed the mark during your visit. We appreciate your input and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to deliver a meal that better reflects our commitment to quality. Sincerely, Kieran Dolas Service Manager

   The food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.

   Excellent food and service. They were very careful about accommodating one of our party’s dietary restrictions.

   Tiny portions and over priced. Japanese wagyu was incredible but everything else was so so

   Ate here during restaurant week. Extra for caviar, which was expensive but exquisite. The five-course tasting menu was more than filling by the time we reached dessert. Each dish was beautiful in presentation and consumption. It is not cheap, but this experience should not (and cannot) be an everyday event.

   I surprised my boyfriend for his 30th birthday, we had the five course restaurant week menu. Everything was delicious, they even substituted something for me for my diet, and surprised him with a bday card & candle. Julia served us the most and she was absolutely wonderful and made our evening so special.
