I had trouble finding the entrance (it is in the front of the building). We came here for a birthday. It was really cold for many parts of the dinner and I was not super comfortable. The food was amazing. For the amount I paid, however, it was not comparable to some of the other dining experiences I have had in DC/ Baltimore. I ordered the wine tasting and it was forgotten, server was on his own so the busser had to bring out dishes and did not explain what they were. Server was extremely knowledgeable and all the staff were great. It just got a little busy for a bit.

Overall, I enjoyed it here. The best part is the service, lovely people who are clearly invested in creating a good experience. But unfortunately my family's experience was a teeny bit disappointing. There was a mistake with the menus (one had slightly different offerings and no printed upcharges, making us confused), a server switch, and a dietary preference was forgotten. These aren't too big of deals but altogether left us feeling a little wonky. The food was fine but not stellar. Some dishes were quite salty, and I noticed that some components were repeated a ton (mostly the king oyster mushrooms). Again, not a big deal but makes me raise my eyebrow. The dishes were beautiful though, I loved that I could see into the kitchen and the building's ceiling is high and makes it feel roomy. And I left with a smile and a full stomach so I can't complain too much >w<

My steak was a disappointment and I left hungry after the five course meal.

My husband and I loved our experience at Gravitas. We enjoyed the 4 course tasting with Virginia Linden Chardonnay. Matt and Payton’s service was delightful and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

I hate to sound generic, but the food is simply amazing. They have a delicious and thoughtful seasonal menu, which was complemented beautifully by their beverage pairings (and cocktail menu)! Limon and Matt were both incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and hospitable, and they made the experience so wonderful for us, so much so that I felt the need to write a review right away! If you have half the experience we had, you’re in for a treat :)

My wife and I had a fantastic time! The food was excellent and service was very friendly and laid back at the same time. We loved the wine pairing. Overall a great experience.

Great place to celebrate. We were there for our anniversary and chose the 6 course tasting menu. Did not disappoint! Amazing food, great service.
Third times the charm? I hate doing this but no idea how this place still holds a Michelin Star. I’ve eaten at countless James Beard and Michelin restaurants. After three visits, the service was nice and good (though very slow at times), the food has always just been good to very good, and the atmosphere is almost nonexistent besides the occasional 90s hits the soundtrack.
My server was really nice but overall there was very little engagement and at times very clumsy service overall by the adjacent waitstaff. No background on dishes or ingredients (things to expect at Michelin restaurants). This is a good place, but no where near excellent, outstanding or exceptional. Food was barely served warm and noticed it at the pass just sitting too many times. Betty and the bar tender were great.
Stand alone, I can appreciate it but there are so many other options in DMV to make this place a priority —Just a good restaurant. Also, my table rocked back and forth—not Michelin standards. One of the few times I regretted spending $$$ on a meal. When you consider the price and expected standards/awards the rating must reflect.

Went on a Sunday night so it was not busy at all. Only 1 other table. We did the tasting menu. It was average. Not the best neighbourhood. The host offered to escort us outside to our car across the street.

I went here for restaurant week and was not disappointed, despite the typical drop in service and quality. Everything was amazing, especially the desserts! I also love the atmosphere in here. The earthy, industrial vibes were fantastic.
I don’t remember everything we ordered and the most memorable part of the meal was how expansive the offerings were. Everything from the bread, to the sashimi, the chicken, and the dessert, were unbelievable.
The menu will certainly change by the time you try them, but you definitely should. I can’t wait to go back!
