Wonderful anniversary dinner last night. Welcomed with champagne and special menus. Manager and server were both warm, attentive and professional. Delicious food. Further evidence of why this is one of our favorite special occasion spots in DC.

Excellent all around!
Excellent as always. The food was delicious. Staff was attentive and it was great to celebrate there.👍🏻😃
The restaurant is interesting. The service was great. The food was great. I really enjoyed my meal.
Amazing food, service is top notch! Tables are a little tight, they open at 5:30 so maybe be the first one to get the best table. We ordered the sea scallops and beet salad for our starters, both are amazing! I ate the beet salad before and forgot to take a picture. Mains were the trout not pictured my husband said it was amazing. I had the halibut and it was also amazing. Dessert we got the baked Alaskan it was so good. I totally forgot to get a picture. However this is our new favorite place!!!!! So good.
Excellent and friendly service, delicious food (Sea Trout outstanding) and very tasty scallops. Wines by the glass were top notch. Thanks and would highly recommend.
We went there for our anniversary and the ambiance was quiet and charming. The service was top notched and the food was very good. We started with the Wagyu Tartare and the Carnival Cauliflower, both of which were very good. The cauliflower on certain pieces were a bit saltier than others, so be prepared for that. Overall, it was very good however. My wife go the Crescent Duck Breast - cooked medium, which was very flavorful (not gamey) and juicy. I normally don't like duck, but I would have ordered this dish. I got the Brioche-Crusted Alaskan Halibut. The halibut was delicious and the brioche crust added a wonderful texture to it. Although I wasn't not a huge fan of the sauce it cooked in (a little sour/tart) it was still very good. Overall, the food was very good, the service phenomenal and we will definitely be back.
Used to go here for all special celebrations while working at Sibley Memorial Hospital in the mid 1970's. Visited again in 2019 and food, service, and atmosphere still outstanding all these years later.
The whole experience from start to finish was exquisite. Food was perfection. Burrata was my favorite dish of the night. All of the dishes were so well-balanced. Service from Kyle was outstanding. He was extremely accommodating, helpful, and warm. Best service I've had in a long time. The staff in general was on point. Would recommend, and will be returning.

It was a lovely special evening! Delicious food, attentive and knowledgeable wait staff eager to please. Expensive but worth it.
Love the atmosphere!
Food is okay!
Maybe the chef and/or the management has changed. It was not the same experience as the last time, but the restaurant remains charming and inviting.
The food and the service was amazing. What I did not like, our table was by the bar area and the smell of the sewage was intolerable . They need to come up with some ventilation . I would love to go back just can not tolerate the smell.
The service was very good. The ambience was nice, though there were two dinner rooms. I was seated in one as the only customer. with a view on the second with more customers. I had the sweetbreads as a starter. The sweetbreads were fine, but the accompanying sauce and vegetable very bland. So, it was rather disappointing. My main problem was with the main the new York strip au poivre steak. Again, the garniture and sauce were really bland. But what was really problematic was that I ordered the steak medium rare but it was in fact well done to medium. One side was really to a degree blackened. I thought about sending it back but unfortunately I did not. Perhaps it was a one day of but...
