From the OpenTable editors: Maryland native and celebrated chef Johnny Spero’s moody, MICHELIN-starred flagship tasting restaurant is an intimate gem. Snag a seat at the statement, 20-feet granite counter to watch the chef prepare a modernist tasting menu that shows off his sophisticated techniques and culinary influences from Scandinavia, Japan, and the mid-Atlantic, served alongside a stellar low-intervention wine list.

Service was excellent. Food was ok. Everything tasted like they forgot the finishing salt. The focaccia and butter was stellar. Most of the other dishes were forgettable. High level of technique. Looks really nice but kinda stuffy.

A beautiful gem, tucked away in a Georgetown alley, with exquisite service! The dishes were excellent, with the exception of the main course which had a delicious sauce but the fish was not. The best of both beverage pairing was very unique and delightful - the pairings were spot on and in some cases a surprise! Overall a great experience and wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

The tasting menu is presented as a culinary journey, with each plate arriving like a carefully curated museum piece. While the technical execution is impressive and plating is Instagram-worthy, the portions leave much to be desired. At $800 for 2, this meal should have been transformative. The ambiance and service hit all the right notes for fine dining, the cumulative effect was overshadowed by a persistent hunger that had us contemplating a late-night burger run – not exactly what you'd expect after such a significant investment.

Returned and it’s even better ! They have refined their seafood tasting menu to a high level. We are talking Michelin Stars level of excellence here. Service is impeccable and the room and vibe are great. Worth a walk over if in Georgetown, a drive if in Dc or close by and a plane ride from anywhere now . It’s exceptional.
