   Unfortunately, this time was not good at all (last time we chose a Tasting Menu that was excellent) 1. Easter Sunday: No Tasting Menu? Why? Travelling worldwide, I was shocked 2. Twice, two different waiters (not their fault....young, inexperienced), tried to serve me the hot meal (Pulpo alla Gallega) before serving the Shellfish Platter, even said clearly when ordering the food 3. Low-quality Oysters 4. The octopus was not fresh at all (light ammonia smell) 5. Personnel clearing the tables (black dressed) with very dirty aprons

   Seafood was amazingly fresh, cocktails were strong and unique!! We absolutely loved the salt air margarita! Service was great, everyone was very friendly. We had a great time celebrating my sister's birthday 😊

   Cool place. Fantastic seafood options. Unique presentations, but every dish was delicious. Beautiful views, cool vibes and great service. Will definitely return.

   Great food! Very loud though, if you don’t like that I would avoid. Lively happy hour scene there Thursday after work.

   The food lacked depth and flavor integrity. Most of the dishes had me confused as to what exactly i was eating. It was more geared for the eyes than the palate. I had hoped for more from Chef Andres. I'll keep trying his other places. I'm in DC a lot.

   Had my birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint. Started with the Floral Cloud craft cocktail - unlike most I have tried this one earned its name and was worth drinking. Did the shrimp cocktail which included 5 large prawns nicely chilled. Main entree was the pulled chicken - nicely prepared with crispy skins and fantastic potato puree. Finished with the deconstructed key lime pie which had all the tartness I was looking for but was surprisingly light. City dining is pretty expensive and overall I felt the pricing for this quality food was very reasonable. Service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and return.

    Excellent service and each entree was very well-prepared. The ceilings are very high so it was difficult to have a normal level of conversation.
