This was a wonderful place to celebrate my friend’s birthday. Although it is priced high for brunch ($110 after tax), it is bottomless food (buffet style) and bottomless drinks (nonalcoholic and alcoholic). The food was absolutely worth the price we paid! From the prime rib to the crab cakes, it was delicious. Also, the servers were always on it and came with great vibes. Our server never let our glasses be empty and was telling a lot of jokes. Overall, while it is not priced for an everyday brunch, it is 110% worth it for special occasions.
I took a friend here for the Easter Brunch. The food was great, then the service was great , and the dining experience was great. My only suggestion would have been to have more breakfast items and/or add lobster to the seafood tower.

Don’t go to their Sunday brunch. Even if you don’t consume alcohol other on alcoholic drinks the price is the same. The food isn’t worth $90/pp. the fact that they don’t have options to include or not include alcohol is ridiculous and just a way to scam you out of your money

While the service was a little slow where we had to ask for our cheese (focaccia) bread about 4 times, I would be remiss if I gave this restaurant anything less than 5 stars for its food! There is ample inside and outside seating with great views of the water. The ambiance is classy modern with floor to ceiling windows very bright with natural light through. Decor is understated elegance with modern ceiling light. Tables are covered in pressed table cloth, the right amount of romantic and social gathering ambiance.My friend ordered chilled lobster and shrimp salad which came with mango salsa and sauce and second sriracha vinaigrette. The New England chowder soup was divine according to my friend. I ordered the chicken chimichurri and grilled shrimp with coconut rice with black beans. Heavenly! Right amount of seasoning, perfectly grilled luscious good sized shrimps on a skewer. We would have licked the plates clean if we could. Definitely unilaterally absolute place highly recommended for everyone to enjoy.

I'm usually a fan of Sequoia's location in the Georgetown area, but my recent visit was a disaster. The drinks were atrocious - the dirty martini was undrinkable and tasted like it might have been made with expired ingredients. The tequila was also poorly made. We also ordered a fish platter, which was surprisingly tasteless.As a frequent visitor to Sequoia, I was shocked by the poor service. Our waiter seemed uninterested in addressing our concerns. When we complained about the drinks, he only offered to replace the dirty martini and then had the nerve to charge us for the replacement drink he suggested. It also took an inordinate amount of time for them to bring us forks after my friend dropped hers, and even longer to replace the second drink after we told them it was undrinkable.Unfortunately, this experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I'm not sure if I'll be returning to Sequoia again.

Sequoia offers beautiful views of the Poromac in its beautiful location on the Georgetown waterfront.
Met friends here and had an awesome dinner. When I am back in DC, I will definitely return for the ambiance, drinks, food, and service. I was having such a great time, I didn't take pictures of my food.
Our group made reservations to have lunch and came here to find out that it's all day brunch on Sundays. The information could have been easily noted on the reservation page for people to see and we would have picked a different date. We decided to forgo our reservation because several people in our group are allergic to shellfish.

We have been here numerous times but this time the service was really bad. The food quality is not the same anymore.

My recent brunch experience at Sequoia DC was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the elegant ambiance and stunning views of the waterfront. The menu options were truly impressive, offering a diverse selection of delectable dishes to suit every taste bud. From savory classics to innovative creations, each bite was a culinary delight.But it didn't stop there—dessert was a true highlight! The decadent treats offered a perfect sweet ending to the meal, leaving me completely satisfied and already planning my next visit. And of course, the bottomless mimosas were the cherry on top, perfectly crafted and flowing freely throughout the brunch.What truly set this experience apart, however, was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was flawless. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a leisurely brunch, Sequoia DC is the ultimate destination for a memorable dining experience. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Saturday brunch is the best brunch I've had in the DMV. The food and service is amazing!!! It stays a little crowded, but the servers ensure that you feel like no one's there but you. Can't wait to go back!!!
