“Had dinner before the Oh He Dead concert on Saturday December 17, 2022. We arrived a little before our seating and immediately were greeted and taken to our spots. Ian was outstanding! He was attentive, descriptive and helped create a good experience. Dan, our bartender, was magnificent. He created delectable cocktails and we also chatted along the way (we had bar seats which I highly recommend). This was very reasonably priced, we left very filled and happy. I want to give the highest possible compliments to Ian and Dan. The entire experience was perfect, largely because of the great food, but they took the experience well beyond a 1 star evening!“
“Tashawn made my friend and I’s experience 10Xs better than it already was. He was attentive, charming, and funny! Not only were the lemon ricotta pancakes and truffle fries amazing, the overall experience was as well! Def recommend The Pembroke for brunch ???“

“To describe my experience in a word, Perfection! I have a favorite waiter, Gabby, and he makes sure that the experience is perfect. Tonight's delicious meal consisted of French onion soup, veal chop, Parmesan truffle fries and cheesecake. It was all cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is upscale and welcoming. I highly recommend Capital Grill in Bethesda.“

“I had my husband's 60th birthday here, and it was fantastic from Lauren helping me plan the event, to the wait staff, the bartender, and the beautiful fireplace room - every detail was awesome!! If you are vegan, you definitely want to come for the vegan tasting menu!!“
“This place was absolutely amazing! I have family from NOLA and have had a hard time finding a place that knows how to make a proper roux for an etouffe, but this place nailed it! I had the Oysters Bayou, and my boyfriend had the Steak Pontchartrain. Both were cooked to perfection. We had made a reservation and even though we were a tad late they promptly sat us, and the staff was amazing & friendly. Definitely come hungry because the portion sizes are huge!“
“Service was outstanding. I went for a birthday dinner and they were so accommodating and friendly. Prices were what you expect for a steakhouse. Very elegant and quiet atmosphere, ideal for an upscale date night. The entrance is a little tucked away but they also offer valet parking, so pulling up to the front is most convenient.“
“I ate the herb-crusted grilled salmon, and it's the best salmon dish I've ever had, and I don't say this lightly. The buttered rice was delightful. The spinach is perfectly cooked. The salmon tasty and not dry or overcooked. I can't give this dish any more superlatives. The ambiance and service were great. The historical relevance of the restaurant is just icing on the cake. Definitely consider this restaurant for dinner.“
“This three level restaurant is what it claims to be.We went for our anniversary and we're sceptical about a meal that is $1000 plus but for a foodie, it's an experience that is worth the steep price.Chef Lledo's food is artfully plated and every bite is was delicious.The food is thoughtfully prepared with each bite bringing a wonderful harmony of flavor. From sauce to the star of the plate, the combination of flavors was complimentary.We also found that the progression from course to course to be absolutely wonderful.Being as all of the food is prepared over an open flame, each dish has that pleasant, smoky flavor. The Spanish influence also creates an unexpected change to each dish served.With the addition of wine, each glass or bottle's region and flavor profile is expertly explained.Nothing that happens in the dining room happens by accident.We were there for their Valentine's Day menu, all of our courses were set, the only choice we had to make was which wines we'd like to enjoy with our meal. Each meal was accompanied by a playing card which were, of course, all hearts. From the ace to the six, each card explains each dish and where the influence comes from.We had one issue with our courses, skipping the two of hearts proceeding to the three. I should explain, this IS NOT staffed by waiters. Each person in the dining room may as well be a manager that is determined to make your dinner the best it can be.But I digress, as our courses were discovered to be out of order by one of their staff, the incredible Kathy, the erroy immediately corrected and we were brought the appropriate plate. From that point on, Kathy became our guardian, ensuring everything from that point on was absolutely perfect.Kathy is an asset to Xiquet's staff who went far beyond anything that we could have imagined. If you meet Kathy when you visit, please, please know that you are in the best possible hands.The restaurant has three floors with their greeting area on the first. Their second floor, which they refer to as the mezzanine, houses their bar. A nicely appointed, intimate space that's perfect for that cocktail before dinner or a nice place to settle after your meal.The third floor houses the dining room. As soon as you enter, you are face to face with the beautiful kitchen filled with an excellent chef team. We were served a wonderful little bite at the window and seated after.The dining room is small with seven tables wrapped around the wine service station. Six of the tables seat four people and one table, which sits right up against the kitchen. The noise level was fairly high but you could still hear the person seated across the table from you.If you want to spend a large amount of money on a meal, this would be a great place to go. I do know, at least for us, this will be a fairly rare stop.“
“What a beautiful experience. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was nice and seasoned. We had the whole free range chicken. Too die for. Definitely split this with two people because it’s quite the meal. The chicken pannise was so unique. So flavorful. Amazing. I’ll definitely be back. PS. The music was wonderful. Soulful. Loved it.“
“Located next to the Kennedy Center. I reserved a table before my arrival. I ordered a kale salad, salmon and dessert. All were delicious. Great selection of wines, but I ordered a cocktail and bottled water. Service was excellent. The restaurant atmosphere was moderate upscale (business casual) and beautifully decorated. They also have burgers and fries on the menu.“
“Lovely and flattering service! The place presents a high-end cruise for adults sort of atmosphere. Watch out for dessert when a serving is said to be for multiple people - they aren't lying! Food was excellent and they have quite a few aged drinks for the connessioers.“
“The foie gras was excellent, the scallops were succulent, the lobster bisque was excellent, the Chilean sea bass was mouthwatering and the steak was superb! LK and our entire wait staff provided tier 1 service! Exceptional! How can I forget the craft cocktails…thoroughly enjoyed The Mistletoe!“
“Our server was so pleasant and attentive. For our appetizer we got the calamari and it was some of the best I've ever had. Entrees were a bit hit or miss. The ribeye we ordered wasn't seasoned well, but the crabcake we got was the best I've ever had. Overall a great experience, though fairly pricey.“
