We had a great night. We have been to other 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants but chef Ryan and his team exceeded all expectations. The food was fun and good. The service was attentive and engaging but not obtrusive. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic evening! Impressive to see the team work together as they prepare the experience throughout the evening. So impressed by the execution and attention to detail. Food and wine pairing was top notch. I love that they escort you to another room for dessert. They made our anniversary celebration unforgettable!

To me, the best restaurant in DC. Food was beyond reproach. The service was top class. And it didn’t have the stuffiness you’d think a place at this price point would have.

Jônt delivers an unforgettable dining experience with meticulous attention to detail and outstanding customer service. 🌟 Their Valentine’s Day menu was spectacular, filled with lively surprises during the desserts that made the evening truly special. 🍰✨ Every bite was absolutely delicious, and I loved receiving a commemorative menu as a thoughtful keepsake. That said, a couple of things stood out: 🎶 The music choices were… puzzling. Some songs felt completely out of place for such an upscale experience. Not sure what vibe they were aiming for, but it didn’t quite fit the ambiance. 🍽️ The menu size was a struggle. I knew it would be a lot of food, but I was completely full halfway through. I can’t imagine how some guests opt for extra bites—I couldn’t even enjoy dessert properly. A shorter menu option would be a fantastic addition. Honestly, if the menu remains this extensive, I wouldn’t return despite how amazing the food was. It’s just too much, even for a tasting experience. But if you’re ready for an epic culinary journey and can handle the volume, Jônt is truly top-tier. 🥂

The food, service and wine service are simply the best in D.C. Going to Jont is always an experience to remember. It seems to get better every time we go.
