    Two Michelin stars, so the price is what you would expect of such status. Staff, service, ambiance, and food are all impeccable. Went there with my wife for our anniversary and although there is not a place for a candlelit dinner, the staff did their best to accommodate us with crafted dessert items with simulated candles in the bar/dessert lounge. Thank you to Eric, Kinga, and Andrew for making the night even more spectacular. Will definitely return when I’m back in the states.

    Counter seating was extremely uncomfortable, our feet were dangling for 2 hours and circulation was getting cut off (we are 5’6” and 6’0”). The seats sit slightly too far from the counter, which resulted in us and our neighbors dropping food. Music was loud and fun but couldn’t hear servers explain each dish. Huge variety of bites, plating was beautiful. For the price, I would’ve expected better taste but only a handful made a memorable impression. Some of the dishes were too salty for me to finish. Servers were super attentive and the space is well ventilated given the fire they have going in the back. We enjoyed the wagyu tartar, mackerel with cavier, truffle rice, venison, and pear desserts.

    At the end of my dinner they gave me a box of dog treats with a picture of my dog who died suddenly 2 years ago. Worst trauma i have dealt with since his passing . Terrible terrible restaurant.

    The food was incredible, we absolutely loved every course. Our favorites were the Amish yellow chicken, the venison, and the charcoal and chocolate. If you’re in the DC area, Jônt is a must see location. The staff are so focused on their guests. Within one course they noted my husband was a leftie and set his silverware accordingly. They kept our wine, champagne, and water filled throughout the night. Truly a unique and wonderful location.

    We had a great experience from start to finish. We were here to celebrate a birthday, which was noted in the reservation. The staff put great effort into details of our experience not only in the food and service but also ensured it was custom and personal to a birthday celebration.
