Absolutely amazing. Tapas style, so you get to try lots of different dishes, especially if you share with your party. Great service, phenomenal food, and a beautiful view. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, informative, professional, and very kind.One of my new favorite restaurants in DC.

This is a very chi chi high end bar housed deep within the cold and uninviting concrete jungle that is Tysons. We came to the Wren before a show at the Capitol One theater at Tysons, as it was the ONLY food place within walking distance of the theater. The food was excellent but very pricey, and a very limited selection, and we had to stand all bunched up in a line (group) at one section of the bar to place our food (appetizers only) order with one of the bartenders. It was awkward and confusing, and the clearly overworked staff had no idea who was next in "line". There was also not enough seating to accommodate the large number of pre-show patrons. I loved the food but would not venture back there because it was too much trouble to find and not well equipped for show-goers. I'll have dinner at home next time.

My wife and I visited Wren for a date night and we could not have been more impressed with our experience. We had the Chef's tasting menu and every course was wonderful. On top of that, our server was attentive and engaging despite it being a busy evening. Highlights were the brussel sprout salad, spicy tuna roll, and the mochi donuts. I'm not a huge dessert person but the donuts were so good. My wife tried one of the cocktails (Lay in the Tall Grass?) and she loved it. Highly recommend Wren and we will definitely return in the future.
I flew in from Boston to visit a friend and stopped by Wren. Man oh Man was I impressed. The Japanese food was exquisite. The atmosphere was lively, mature, and chic. And the service was unforgettable!! Omar was the best. He consistently checked-in and provided the best food and drink recommendations. I will definitely be back - Thank You Wren.

Fabulous experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary date night, and Rahel(our server) as well as the manager that night treated us like royalty. The food is exquisite, ambiance is dim, romantic, and a complete vibe. We happened to be dressed up while most other patrons were very casual. This will be our new go to spot for dinner, snacks, watching a game or just hanging with friends. Thank you for a great dinner!

Our reservation was somewhat early to allow us to attend the Billy Joel show at Capital One Hall. As expected, the food was great. Especially Brussel Sprouts and Black Cod. Definitely a place to return!!!

I went here this year for my birthday/date night and I will never forget it! I was treated wonderfully from the time they found out it was my birthday. The overall atmosphere and view from my table were amazing. We ordered several menu items and everything was unique and delicious! The customer service left the biggest impression on me. From the manager to our server, they went up and beyond to ensure we had a nice experience. They were kind and thoughtful. I also stayed at the hotel that evening, so we relaxed, played pool, and listened to music after dinner. It was a great evening and I look forward to returning.

We've been eating at Wren the last couple of years and it's been consistently very good! The staff is always friendly and professional. The last waiter who helped us was Omar- do so friendly & personable. You won't be disappointed!
Someone in our party had several food restrictions and the staff were so very attentive to her needs & aided in food selection. Drinks always a beautiful creation and food great!

This is a very beautiful place including the food and the layout but unfortunately I had a Whites Only aka white accepting experience. As I was getting on the elevator to go to this establishment a OLD white women asked me if I was going to the right place and held up the elevator. The manager was a bit rude as well as soon as she heard my name she spoke to my friend only because hers was white appeasing.Like I said it's a name place but again very much WHITES ONLY aka have a white name and don't look too black or ETHNIC type of establishment.

The food was, as always, spectacular. We were celebrating my wife's birthday with a group of seven. I think we tried about a dozen different items on the menu. At the end, no one could name a favorite. "They were all great," was the common reply. Omar did a great job taking care of us ... and went out of his way to make my wife's birthday a treat. Wren is her favorite place ... thanks for making our evening a memorable one.

4 of us went before a show at Capital one hall. We had crispy Brussels, beet salad, ramen, edamame, and chicken. All the food was delicious and very easily shareable. Our wait staff was personable and friendly and assisted us with our choices. We will 100% recommend the restaurant and any food item on the menu.
Our server Omar was phenomenal. Always there when we needed him. His recommendations were completely on point. I loved the In the Tall Grass cocktail and especially the wagyu burger. Everything about Wren is superb from arrival to departure.
