This restaurant has an amazing view if you get a table near the window (sunset was nice to see), food was very tasty, a good variety of drinks and the service was spot on. Would recommend… a bit on the expensive side. I would recommend the grilled octopus and lobster risotto!

I went there last night , I have to say the lamb chops were okay . I was expecting way more for the $$$ . This is my second time and the drinks JUST look good they are so basic . Is just for show most of all.
Right after I ate i started to feel sick . This place was just an expensive food poisoning.
Not coming here anymore

Second attempt with this place. They cancelled my reservation for no reason. Last time because I cancelled less 24h head they charged me. This place is a real joke. Never again

It was our wedding anniversary, and they made it such a special and memorable evening for us. We loved their warm hospitality and the amazing food.

Beautiful ambiance. The weekend brunch was such a great value for the price. Everything was delicious. Definitely a must visit spot. Plenty of opportunities for photo ops

Arranged a dinner for 10 weeks in advance. The restaurant canceled it the day before, offering the seats to another customer. Very unprofessional. They did help arrange a reservation elsewhere.

I visited this restaurant with my sister for bottomless brunch, arriving 40 minutes before it ended. While the ambiance and view were nice, the overall experience was disappointing.
There was confusion about the brunch end time - the hostess said we could order until 4pm, but our waiter, Valerdi, informed us it ended at 3pm. This miscommunication set a poor tone for the meal.
The service was subpar throughout. Our waiter had a consistently negative attitude, especially when addressing the discrepancy in end times. There were mix-ups with our order, with some dishes going to the wrong table. When we inquired about missing items, the waiter was argumentative rather than helpful, insisting we had received and rejected dishes we never saw.
The food quality was mediocre, certainly not justifying the $65 price tag. The bill included a 3.5% surcharge and 20% automatic gratuity, which felt excessive given the service issues.
While the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, the poor service and average food make it hard to recommend. I've had far better bottomless brunch experiences in DC for similar and even lower prices. With improved staff training and better communication, this place could be much better.
