   We hadn’t eaten at Bresca for a few years, and I am sad to say it has gone downhill. I don’t know why they still have a Michelin star. Flavor combinations don’t make sense, and our braised short rib was so tough to be almost inedible. Service is polite, but the staff seem asleep or lobotomized. There are far better places to spend your money.

   The restaurant looks amazing and the service was good. However, the food was just okay. One of the dishes we ordered (pasta) was extremely salty.

   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.
