Now – me and my husband had went to this restaurant for dinner . It was our first time – the customer service excellent honestly 5/5 . The design of the place yeah 5/5 it was nice . But now moving on to food :
We both went for the dinner well full
Course (65$) each.
For the starters – the biscuits (tasty really good – BUT the butter spread . The pepper corn was too over powering . For me anyways . My husband didn’t mind it .)
Second – chicken liver toast – the grapefruit topping drizzle , sauce on top extremely over
Powering 7/10 for him. But my husband decided to keep eating and eventually the taste kinda went down but- not tasty at all. You couldn’t taste anything . BUT the grapefruit . I got “chick pea panisse “ okay not bad 6/10 but the peanuts that are in it – don’t really need it to be honest . Maybe there for texture . Not really tasty especially if you let it get cold .
Main- my husband got “roasted fluke” , we had no idea it was fish – maybe we just didn’t pay attention to the name . But besides that it was actually decent the fish – but the I ingredients around it was just not actually fitting for the meal – but he didn’t mind if .7/10 . For him. Now I had the “braised pork” . NOW the meat was actually good the meat is a 10/10 – but what was around if made the flavors go down. EXCEPT THE APPLE . For some odd reason the apple tasted really good with it – everything else no. Needed more time cooking or something else . So in total for the meal 7/10.
Dessert – my husband got “pistachios date cake” he loved it – warm tasty. 10/10.
I got the olive oil chocolate brownie – ice cream. It was good – could taste the olive oil. But it was good ate the whole thing 10/10.
Drinks and FOOD we went with the waiter choice . We did not touch our drinks – they were not good to us. Total = over 200$ .
Might go back give it another try, maybe the food we went with just wasn’t for us. Maybe it was just different . But still willing to go back and try something else and maybe would change my whole experience.
Our server was welcoming, while going over the menu. There were unique, tasty signature cocktails to choose from the specialized drink menu-we opted for a bottle of bubbles. For starters, we ordered the tomato provencal with crispy shallots, Thai basil, and jalapeño and the cornbread topped with bluefish, trout roe, and a dollop of sour cream. With the chef and the patio grill adjacent from our table, the grilled tamarind prawns with spicy green curry and fry bread was a necessity, along with the marinated skirt steak with papaya salad.
It was a bit busy on the terrace and in the main dining room and slight mixup-initially, we received the peach salad in lieu of the cornbread. The peach salad was slightly busy in appearance yet savory with a burst of flavors. Shortly after, the cornbread was delivered to our table followed with the grilled prawns. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive the skirt steak; however, one of the chefs and one of the hostesses checked in with us with the interest of making amends. The star of the night was our dessert-profiteroles with rich coffee ice cream- this surely made up for the confusion- yummy. There is the final event later this month-will definitely check it out-bye for now 🙂

Atmosphere 5/5 cool vibes set by the live dj; made to order courses from the patio grill
Service 3/5 this is fourth or fifth event of its series; a bit busy
a kitchen + bar
Tucked away in the heart of DC, a kitchen + bar is the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel at ease. The warm, inviting space—dim lighting, cozy booths, and just the right number of plants—creates the perfect backdrop for an evening that feels both intimate and effortlessly cool.
Now, let’s talk food.
We kicked things off with a spread of starters that instantly set the tone for the meal. First up, the buttermilk biscuits—flaky, golden perfection. But the real star? The hotel butter they’re served with. Silky, rich, and impossibly smooth, it was so good I found myself rationing every bite just to make it last longer. Then came the chickpea panisse, which brought a crisp exterior and creamy center, making for an unexpectedly addictive bite. The crispy oyster mushrooms were just as impressive—meaty, crunchy, and packed with bold umami flavor that made them a standout.
Then there was the ricotta toast—something I’d normally skip in favor of something more adventurous. But this? This changed my mind. Creamy, whipped ricotta layered on thick, perfectly toasted bread, topped with just the right balance of sweet and savory elements. It was delicate yet flavorful, and honestly, one of the biggest surprises of the night.
For entrées, we went with the potato gnocchi and the lamb shoulder—two completely different dishes that both delivered in their own way. The gnocchi was like eating clouds, impossibly soft and pillowy, melting in your mouth with every bite. Meanwhile, the lamb? Pure silk. Slow-cooked to that perfect, fall-apart texture, with rich, deep flavor that made every forkful feel indulgent.
To wrap it all up, the hibiscus and black tea panna cotta was the kind of dessert that sneaks up on you. Light, floral, and just the right amount of sweet—refreshing enough to make you feel like you needed one more bite, even after a full meal.
This place isn’t just about good food—it’s about the whole experience. From the warm, calming atmosphere to the carefully crafted dishes, every part of the meal felt intentional. Whether you’re looking for a casual date night spot or just want to treat yourself to a great meal, this one’s definitely worth a visit.
