Restaurants near Noyes Armillary Sphere

Food was great as always but the service was subpar. We had to ask several times for our water to be replenished. At the end he asked us if we would like dessert, which we then ordered and he came back to say the kitchen was closed (it was only 9 pm even though their website says 10 pm for Thursdays).

I gave 3 stars for food but we had cocktails, not food. The cocktails were 5/5!

We went to Jont two years ago and it was spectacular then and I wasn’t sure how they could improve. However, this visit was off the charts and I’m not sure why they don’t have three Michelin stars yet. We have been to 30 Michelin stars worth of restaurants globally so we have a pretty good perspective. Chef Ryan was in the kitchen (which you essentially sit at a bar adjacent to) the whole time and he came over and spent some time with us which was very cool. The staff is funny, friendly and well informed. I got the special Waygu Zabuton in lieu of chicken and it was probably the best steaks I’ve ever had. Sometimes these type restaurants get a little too eclectic with one or two dishes, and that wasn’t the case here. Every dish wowed our family. In fact, my wife ate Uni for the first time (having passed on it before) and loved it. We feel fortunate to have this spot in DC and can’t wait to go back.

Amazing. The taste was wonderful, every dish was very good. The wine also is so good. Cocktails are good, but not amazing, presentation of cocktails is quite normal. But the food, attention and wine was so good. I definitely recommend it. The taste the Christmas menu and was so good. And the pasta with cheese for my little one also wonderful

Hidden gem in the corner of U and 16th St. Must visit for delicious sushi and cocktails. Service was top notch and great vibes.
