I went for the first time with my boyfriend. The views were astounding, the vibe was great , and the service was amazing. The food left a bit to be desired. We had brussels sprouts, jerk tacos and fries. We will try other foods next time though...We are definitely going back

Smoke & Mirrors Brunch – A Sunday to Remember! Visited Smoke & Mirrors for brunch on Sunday, September 14, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. My friend and I ordered from the brunch menu, and every bite was a hit — but the chicken and waffles with cheese grits stole the show. Perfectly crispy, savory, and comforting all at once. The service was top tier, attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. And the DJ (music) was absolutely invigorating. It added such a vibrant energy to the space, setting the tone for a relaxed yet lively Sunday vibe. If you're looking for a brunch spot that delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and hospitality, Smoke & Mirrors is it.

Had a lovely time celebrating my mother in laws retirement! The view is the best I've seen in Washington and the ambience and music were lovely. The food was delicious and drinks were very well-made. Justice took great care of us and the hostesses jumped in to help as well. I will definitely recommend to others! Photos were awesome.

Had my birthday dinner here and it was such an amazing experience. The host, bartenders, and servers were very friendly and accommodating. Service was quick and food and were drinks were delicious.

Beautiful decor and view, however, the food was below average and quite disappointing since we were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Perhaps a place to visit for cocktails only.

Attended a day party/special event. It was a nice time with improved bar service wait time, and great aerial views.

This place is phenomenal! The view is perfect and unobstructed, the ambience is great, the servers are friendly and provided great service, and even though I wasn’t expecting it the food was also amazing, putting this place over the top! The Happy hour makes this a great value!
Slowest service and worst attitude of bartenders I have ever encountered. 30 minutes waiting to get a bottle of beer from a rude and slow bartender. If it weren’t for the view this place would be 0 stars

The food & drinks were amazing, but can we get some fans on the ceiling too? There are heaters up there for the cold i'm assuming, but a fan or four wouldn't hurt. Especially with numerous days of back to back extreme heat & humidity. The alcohol is already heating me up enough lol That's the only reason I give a four

Omg!!! I travel to eat and try new restaurants, but this is by far one of the worst resturant. Wings were so salty and hard, beef ribs was tasteless and fatty. Burger was under season and needed more sauce. Over all you couldn't pay me to eat here again! I don't recommend it not even for my dogs or my worst enemy. Service was the only good thing there

Came here for the 4th of July woth my family. We were seated outside at one of the high-top tables. We had a great view of the Capitol Building. We shared a cheese and charcuterie board. For dinner, I got the pesto chicken flat bread, which was good. Lots of chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. We also split the chocolate cake and the key lime pie. Both were very good! Throughout our meal, we could see so many fireworks all around us.

This place has the best name for it because it’s just smoking and mirrors. It gives you the illusion of a good restaurant, but it’s not. I was confirmed for a reservation through an app that they made me use, but The restaurant couldn’t see my confirmed reservation. The menu is the smallest menu I have ever seen at a restaurant on top of that, the food wasn’t that good. We ordered burgers and the fries were cold and the burger was overcooked. I will never go here again.
