From the OpenTable editors: From a living moss wall and purple banquettes to playful dishes layered with truffles and caviar, maximalism reigns supreme at Ryan Ratino’s MICHELIN-Starred hotspot. His Parisian bistro-inspired menu includes whimsical takes on French classics like a strawberry-pistachio foie gras “gateau” paired with colorful cocktails from beverage director Will Patton.

One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.

Quality ingredients, all prepared and served wonderfully. Unexpectedly noisier, and rap music to boot, which we really enjoyed and felt very DC vibes, but could see others expecting music to match the fine dining. The only change would be less ornamental flowers and decorations on top of the food, let me see what I ordered under those little flowers.

The food was very good, Chef Kyle came to the table to meet us and his service was very kind. Our waiter Kirin was very attentive and knowledgeable, he answered all our questions very clearly and his suggestions were great. The problem was the ambiance and music choices. I am sure that in a restaurant serving fine dining, better music choices could have been made and the music was very loud, my partner and I had to talk a little too loud to hear each other.

It was just perfect on all aspect. Food, service, environment. We had two kids 7&9yo. No kids menu but they loved bread and steak.
