    This was an amazing experience I really enjoyed the fact that from the moment you arrive they make it feel personal as if you and your guest as if you rented out the place.. every dish was explained in great culinary fashion and I love the way each server and host incorporated their knowledge of the dish being served. Hands down one of the premier experiences in the D.C area and a must for impressing any level of company you have. The value is very worth it but the experience is priceless..

    Absolutely fantastic! Service from the bar was slow, but they came over & updated us that a few ppl called out that evening. So, in that case, I do not hold the restaurant responsible because they had the courtesy of letting us know. We met the owner who sent over complimentary cookies. Everything was fantastic, A++++ Keep in mind this was also the same evening that the military helicopter crashed into the plane with Olympic Ice Skaters on the Potomac, which literally right there. 🙏 🤲 Rip to all that passed.

    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!
