“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.“

“The restaurant is surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. The menu offers high-quality and original "fine dining" dishes.“

“Chose Equinox for its numerous plant based options and as usual it did not disappoint. Drinks, food, ambiance and service were outstanding. The service provided primarily by Didier was especially appreciated as he ensured that my food allergies were successfully accomodated (that deserves a heartfelt thank you, esp. for my celebratory desert). Also a special thanks to Amir who was also helpful in providing service. Look forward to my return.“

“Xiquet by Danny Lledo has worked very hard to earn its Michelin standing, and it shows in every aspect of the meal. Each dish is carefully crafted to give you an equally beautiful and delicious sample of a different Spanish cuisine.

First, the presentation of each dish. You receive a cardstock card with every single entree, giving you an overview of the dish, the primary ingredients, a backstory for why it matters to the chef. It is an awesome way to enhance the dining experience and give each small element stand out even more. There is also a sentimental element with some of the them, making it feel like an invitation into the upbringing of the genius who put all the food together.

To make the whole process even more engaging, each of the plates is so meticulously crafted that they feel like art. I sat and admired most of the dishes that crossed my path just to appreciate how intricately they were put together and repurposed otherwise simple ingredients. It’s truly entertaining to see new variations on dishes you think you know, and with such beauty.

Things are made all the more enjoyable by the constant clash between a traditional tapa and the inventive nature of the chef, giving you a blend of new flavors and the classic taste you expect from Spanish cuisine. Each dish just puts a smile on your face and makes you appreciate the finer flavors in life. It’s clear that all the ingredients are top of the line im quality, and carefully curated.

Finally, the service and actual dining experience. The upper area is in a beautiful room with a great view on a glass encased kitchen. It is very welcoming and super entertaining to see the chefs hard at work in the kitchen to see how everything comes together. The service was fantastic as well, with super knowledgable and friendly wait staff. I really appreciated how much they were just as excited for their customers to enjoy the meals as I was.

Overall, Xiquet is an incredible dining experience that is well deserving of its designation. I would save this one for a special occasion, as it definitely hurts the bank, but you will surely have an unforgettable dinner. Thanks to Danny for an awesome night.“

“Great dining experience! Great service and food! 5 ⭐️s!“

“Love this restaurant - usually. This time we were disappointed. After we were seated, we were greeted by our server. Took our drink orders then didn't see him to place our dinner order for over 30 minutes. The table next to us - the server spoke VERY loudly. ( couldn't tell if the guests were older and hard of hearing). It was as if he was sitting with us at our table and speaking in a loud voice. Extremely annoying throughout our dinner. One steak was cooked well beyond medium. But for as long as we waited for our entree course, we didn't complain. Just not our usual experience at this restaurant.“

“Wonderful service and excellent food. I wanted a NY Strip Steak and I got one - grilled perfectly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her grilled salmon and my daughter - 10 years old and very picky - was treated respectfully and was well- accommodated. Highly recommended.“

“Great service, wonderful curated menu. She crab soup was incredible so were the beignets, pork sandwich fantastic as well“

“I was there to celebrate my wedding anniversary and 801 was super attentive to that fact. We were greeted with a heart on our table. We were given a complimentary drink to toast the occasion. The food was delicious especially the cream of corn and scallops potatoes. I would recommend this restaurant to others.“

“Wonderful food and experience“

“The STEAK it comes with a nice sized salad, chimi churry is excellent on the steak or as a dressing for the nice sized side salad. A side of mashed potatoes or other veggie. Absolutely recommend, The steak is cooked very nicely, nice flavor development on the outside of steak, internal temp on point. & the portion size is generous or reasonable for the price. If you are hungry & want to be filled a nice protein & with healthy sides. This is 10/10 dish & I would re-order again. Bravo to the kitchen“
