- PPatWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time dining there and the food was fresh and delicious. We had fried calamari as an appetizer. It was crispy and well prepared not rubbery. My wife and I ordered the steak with white rice also very good. They could improve their dessert menu since there were limited options.More infoCubanosPrice: Expensive• Cuban• Bethesda•4.9
- AAnnieVIPWashington, D.C. Area •11 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoI was excited to come here especially given I had just been to Spain, but was sadly disappointed. Service was attentive, although the sommelier seemed a little stuffy. Drinks by the glass were limited (only those offered for the wine pairing) and pricey for either a 2 or 5oz pour; mostly bottles (all high $$$). Surprisingly there were no cocktail offerings, which was also disappointing. Some dishes were delicious but some hit the mark. The first course/Act 1, which was a platter of small bites, was a bad start. The rose water apple had good texture but was overpowered by rose water…it felt like I was eating a grandmother’s old perfume bottle. I suppose if you like rose water you might like it but it was a terrible first bite (instructed to start with apple rose, followed by another; and the rest in the order of our choice…didn’t finish a single one). It definitely made us worried about the rest. Thankfully the octopus dish was much better-but I’m a sucker for Uni and who doesn’t like beurre blanc sauce?!? The star of the show was the paella…perfection! Could have eaten that all day! The pork and waygu beef dish was also well executed but not a wow. The dessert assortment was eh…the main one was some sort of chocolate donut-didn’t finish that one; however the little bites in the box-gelee, pistachio, and some other tiny bites were pretty good. Overall I was disappointed for a Michelin star…not worth the price-point, and sadly would not return.More infoXiquet by Danny LledóPrice: Very Expensive• Spanish• Georgetown•4.4
- IIrisWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined on Feb 8, 2025Excellent food just like Xiquet! We love the seafood Fideuá the most. The carrot cake dessert was full of surprise, every bite gives you a different texture and flavor. Service is exceptional, staff are very attentive. It was a perfect dinner experience.More infoEl Taller del XiquetPrice: Very Expensive• Spanish• Georgetown•4.5
