Our Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful—the website did not mention all the items on the set menu. Better than advertised!

This was phenomenal, my wife and I had to stay in town for thanksgiving and needed a pick me up the day before. This did not disappoint, reminded me of eating my Spanish grandmothers food. Paella was phenomenal, I am so glad we opted for the Premium Prawn Rice, it was very umami and so authentic. It was an absolutely beautiful experience, the food was delicious and beautiful, very thoughtful portions, we left full but not overly stuffed. The staff was polite, professional and funny. We will absolutely return and strongly recommend.

Wow wow and wow!!!!!! Stunning visuals and amazing staff that went over and above to accommodate us with a hearing impaired person. The food was uneven but I suspect they will work that out. This is the grand restaurant that DC hasn’t seen in awhile and I can’t wait to go back. Good bar prices at happy hour too. I loved it!!

Two Michelin stars, so the price is what you would expect of such status. Staff, service, ambiance, and food are all impeccable. Went there with my wife for our anniversary and although there is not a place for a candlelit dinner, the staff did their best to accommodate us with crafted dessert items with simulated candles in the bar/dessert lounge. Thank you to Eric, Kinga, and Andrew for making the night even more spectacular. Will definitely return when I’m back in the states.
