Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in West End

This was our 2nd visit. We really enjoyed our first visit, so decided to return when in the area instead of trying out a new spot. Made last minute reservations and were seated quickly. There was a very off putting smell when waiting at the host table - couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Walked to our table hoping it wasn’t throughout the restaurant. We sat down and reviewed the menu. Waiter arrived and he was not super helpful in helping my parents who had never had been there choose a meal, which was frustrating for a restaurant of this caliber. Felt very rushed to make menu choices and without our questions being adequately answered. Food came out and was fine. Just the waiter ruined the experience.

Our brunch experience was delightful and Troy made it extra special. He was attentive, cheerful and very thoughtful during our dining experience. The food was delicious and such a great value. The ambiance was vibrant yet sophisticated. Will definitely be back.

Was such a wonderful night. The restaurant was full but not so loud that you could not enjoy the conversation with your group. The food was outstanding. We could not stop talking about how cool it was that all of the ingredients came from the mid-Atlantic part of the USA. Service was wonderful. Cannot wait to go back again!

Returned and it’s even better ! They have refined their seafood tasting menu to a high level. We are talking Michelin Stars level of excellence here. Service is impeccable and the room and vibe are great. Worth a walk over if in Georgetown, a drive if in Dc or close by and a plane ride from anywhere now . It’s exceptional.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
