Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Smoke and Mirrors - DC offers a stunning rooftop view of the Capitol, creating a "great atmosphere" for dining and drinks. Known for "delicious food" like the mumbo wings and truffle fries, this spot is perfect for a date night or happy hour. However, service can be "very slow" and inconsistent, with mixed experiences reported. Despite this, the ambiance and cityscape make it a memorable experience for many visitors.
