“Excellent Seafood, Great Service, and a Touch of Wonderland! We had a fantastic dinner at The Walrus Oyster & Ale House! Our waiter had a great personality and clearly knew the menu. He convinced us to start with the crab dip appetizer, which was amazing. He also steered me toward the lobster ravioli instead of the lobster mac and cheese, and once again, he was absolutely right! The lobster ravioli was outstanding—not only was the pasta generously stuffed with lobster, but there was even more lobster on top. I also ordered the clam chowder, while my wife had the lobster roll. We both loved our meals. The portions were generous, but more importantly, they didn't skimp on the seafood. I've never had clam chowder with that many actual clams in it! The pastry topping was something I'd never encountered before, but it worked beautifully. Highly recommend it! As a longtime Alice in Wonderland fan, I also appreciated the whimsical artwork throughout the restaurant, including the themed paintings in the bathrooms. A fun, unexpected touch that gave the place some personality. My one complaint was the outdoor seating. The tables were packed so tightly together that the woman sitting behind my wife actually bumped her chair while trying to make more room. It made for an awkward moment and wasn't particularly comfortable. As for the price, the alcohol was reasonably priced, but this certainly isn't an inexpensive restaurant. Dinner for two, including tip, came to about $180. That said, considering the quality and quantity of seafood, I didn't walk away feeling shortchanged. Would I go back? Absolutely. The food was excellent, our waiter made the experience even better with recommendations that were spot-on, and the quirky decor was a bonus. Just give the outdoor diners a little more room!”

Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)”

I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).”

“You will not get better service anywhere in DC. On a Friday night, we were greeted and seated by the manager Manuel who was more than polite; he was genuinely interested in our experience. I ask….a lot of questions lol, and our server Carlos was super knowledgeable and super patient and kind, and even went out on a limb to share his personal preferences which not all servers will do. It was clear from the amuse bouche(delivered to us by Manuel himself) to the care with which our table was cleaned between courses to our surprise dulce de leche at the end that they truly place a premium on their customers’ experience. The chorizo dumplings were complex and light and delicious, and their cocktails are well-crafted and made with care. We sat at the downstairs bar, it was vibey and private, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend!”

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!”

Everyone from host to chefs made me feel like a star. The bar staff, servers, the atmosphere, and the chefs!!! Top tier and would highly recommend!!! Not only was the service excellent…talk about hospitality on a 100! But the FOOD!!! I mean I would’ve been a happy camper just on the drinks from the bar (gotta try the FORWARD drink!! Whew!) and the service alone, but the FOOD?! We were treated to a five course, and every single bite, morsel that I tasted sent every bit of my taste buds to heaven!! I consider myself a picky eater but none of that mattered. If you’re a connoisseur of fine dining…you CANNOT miss THE DABNEY! I salute the CHEFS!!”

“5/5 Stars – Absolutely earned their Michelin rating! We had an incredible dining experience here and sat at the chef's counter, which provided a fantastic view of the kitchen performing their craft. The entire operation is organized, smooth, and highly impressive to watch. The food and drinks were outstanding: • Duck Drunken Noodles: Perfectly spiced! The heat provided a beautiful warmth that highlighted the flavors rather than just kicking your butt for the sake of being spicy. • Ginger Dumplings: Absolutely delicious. • Plum Boulevardier: A lovely, well-crafted cocktail. • Lychee Martini: My friend ordered this and completely loved it. The service really made the night. All of the servers were welcoming and knowledgeable, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere. We were especially blessed to be taken care of by Eli and Monica. They were wonderful hosts who were incredibly complimentary to both myself and my companion. Even the smaller details were great—the restrooms are single units that provide plenty of privacy, featuring a sleek black decor that is exceptionally well-maintained. This is a wonderful operation that we will definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!”

And honestly, the food was outstanding. Every dish we tried was delicious.The only downside was the service, which felt rushed, like clearing plates before we were done and bringing the check right after dessert without an anniversary note. It took away from what we hoped would be a slower, more memorable celebration.”

They have fun coffee. The portions are generous. Being Dia de Muerto, there was a delicious pan de muerto made with black sesame and filled with a grape cream. It's a tiny place with an incredibly homey feel and adorable mis-matching clay dishware. I will absolutely be back and likely with friends.”

“What can I even say that's bad about this place? We tried the full tasting+wine menu for our anniversary dinner last week. It was so good that we had to return yesterday for restaurant week (a menu substantially smaller but just as satisfying). The drinks were delicious and creative (get the lychee bomb), the food was adventurous and rich, the atmosphere is both sophisticated and fun, and the service was top notch. Major shoutouts to my guys and gal Edwin, Jonas, and Mariana. Edwin was our first server and made us feel like a part of his family, joking with us, sharing stories with us, and giving us a full tour and history of the food and wine we enjoyed. On our second visit, Edwin made sure to check on us often, but our main server Jonas was equally as generous, lively, and gave us the best suggestions for what to order. He even asked the chef to make a custom dessert for us when he realized we'd tried all the ones on the menu from last week. Favorite drinks were the lychee bomb and I think the hocus pocus. All wine pairings were delicious. Favorite food was the quail egg with swiss chard and truffle cream, the shrimp momo, and the ghee-poached salmon, though everything was exceptional. Don't come here if you're looking for something quick, it's a delicious marathon here.”
