I already can’t wait to go back. The service from the moment you walk in is impeccable. Staff are very nice and attentive. I rarely even saw my glass of water empty or my other beverages. I recommend doing one of the tasting menus and adding the full snack assortment. Really worth it to try all those delicious small bites. I also think they may have the best espresso martini in DC.

Great experience at Bresca, we ordered the 3 course menu and the presentation and taste was amazing. My 4 star to the atmosphere its because it gets very noisy, and I don't like that. But I do recommend this place.

We are neighbors of Bresca and had dined there several times before and were always pleased. This time was different! The food was not up to the standard of a one star Michelin restaurent. The lamb was tough, chewey with white connective tissue and cut in thick pieces (a no no for lamb). These are basic rules for serving lamb. Similarly, the wagyu beef was chewey and just too much. Rather have less that is tender than more that is difficult to handle. Bresca should do better.

We visited Bresca during Restaurant Week, and we were impressed with the food. The starting bites are perhaps the most delicious; particularly the Champagne Oyster, the Cheese cracker, and the tartare/mushroom bite. Each one was unique and full of flavor. Other standouts were the Crudo and the pasta dishes. The crudo was like an amazing mix of crudo and Ceviche; while the pasta had a delicious sauce. The main dishes were excellent: Lamb exceptionally well cooked with an amazing sauce and side of beet; the trout was delicous (the foam on it was a bit tasteless but the dish was amazing nonetheless). The desserts are to die for, especially the Madeleine. You should definitely add on the Pain au Lait. Our server Julia was outstanding. Cocktails are interesting. We will be back!

Excellent meal during Restaurant Week! We had been previously to Bresca and it is always special!

Stellar service- well deserved one-star Michelin rating. I sat at the bar as a single diner and the service was still excellent. Each waiter explained each dish and the bartenders were super attentive and friendly. The Restaurant Week menu was fantastic- highly recommend upgrading to receive all of the snacks... and the apple linzer torte was lovely. Highly recommend.

Had the opportunity to visit Bresca on a recent trip to DC and was throughly impressed with the quality of food, portion sizes, and service that my party and I received. Madame Zaineb was an excellent Maître d' and guided us through the entire menu. If the restaurant was already a 10/10, her attention to detail made it an 11/10. Thank you to Bresca for the amazing evening! Will plan to visit again when time allows.

Disappointing as a michelin star restaurant especially in service and timeliness. The food is good but nothing is exceptional and I tried the whole menu. The problem is exacerbated by the portion and timing. I would consider other options for fine dining restaurant experience in dc

Great food and amazing service from our server Julia and the rest of the staff. We were seated promptly and dishes came out at a perfect pace. Great choice for restaurant week!
Bresca was a lovely fine dining experience. The staff was so kind and friendly. The food was elevated and delicious. The vibe was high class but laid back enough that you could relax. We will be back!

Love the creative food choices which match the phenomenal service. Bar service and creativity is beyond. Recommend pairing wine with food to get the full experience. Will be back!!

Great experience here for restaurant week. There were a number of options to choose from and different ways to add on more things to customize how much you wanted to eat/how much you wanted to spend. The base restaurant week 3 course menu did not offer much for customization but with one person doing the 5 course and another adding on the full snack set, we all got to try almost all of the menu options.
Most, if not all, of the textures and flavor combinations of the dishes were wonderful. When looking through the pictures to try and decide what my favorites were, it's very difficult to decide since they were all great and unique in their own way.
I will say that the dishes that exceeded my expectations the most were the Butternut Squash salad, the Madeleine service and the little drink they gave us in the beginning, which was the first time I've liked something with Kombucha. I expected most of the dishes to be very good, but even those two dishes I mentioned above that I thought might be more run of the mill turned out to be quite special as well.
Of course being Michelin starred, it was expensive, even with the restaurant week deal, but the food and service is top tier, and the portions are not bad at all. I felt like it was worth it for the experience.
