   Was just an extraordinary event. So delicious and the service was amazing. My husband has hearing aids and the noise level is a little rough for him. That was the only downside though. Spectacular food and service.

   Our first visit to Bresca. Had the tasting menu which was excellent. Highlights were the scallop crudo, the black bass entree, and the brioche. Excellent Bordeaux and Orange mocktail. The only complaint is that it was too much food. Will definitely go back, but order a la carte.

   My first ever Michelin star, and I can see why. Food was outstanding as expected, but the service… the service just sealed the deal. Staff was absolutely amazing. My glass was never half full, would always top off my water, extremely friendly and courteous. Top notch all around.

   Celebrated my mom's birthday last night with the chef's tasting menu. The food was absolutely delicious! Each course was carefully designed to reveal unexpected flavors and excite your tastebuds. And the presentation was art. Loved the scallop and chow "snacks," and the cod melted in my mouth. The chicken and ribeye were divine. Desserts were light, complex, and satisfying. Julia and her team provided perfectly timed service. And the ambiance was relaxing. Worth the high price tag. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

   Good experience overall. Service was interesting albeit a little rushed. Amazing wine menu with an excellent selection of French and German Rieslings. Dessert was out of this world.

   OMG! Great experience! Was treated like a queen. Had the best table for one - could see the entire restaurant. I was a bit early and got to watch the place fill up and come alive. The portions for the chef’s menu were MUCH larger than I expected. I was sooo full. I highly recommend this restaurant especially to visitors.

    My significant other and I were disappointed with our recent experience at Bresca. Given its recent Michelin star recognition, we arrived with high expectations for the tasting menu but, unfortunately, they were not met. While the food itself was flavorful and the presentations artful, we found it difficult to appreciate the table side descriptions of the dishes due to the high ambient noise level, which made it impossible to hear our server. One profound disappointment was the chicken entrée. My partner’s portion was significantly and noticably larger than mine, and her cabbage was seared beautifully while mine was missing any sear. This lack of consistency was glaring and, regrettably, not addressed before the dishes were brought to the table. At the end of the meal, we were presented with the check immediately, without any inquiry or follow-up regarding our dining experience. I consider myself fortunate to have dined at several Michelin-star restaurants in D.C., and I am well aware of the level of service and detail that accompanies such recognition. This visit, however, fell short of that standard. Bresca, did not demonstrate the excellence associated with the Michelin star they display atop their bar.
