   Such a stylish hotel and restaurant. The outside deck is fantastic in nice weather. Dress nicely, and enjoy the vibe.

   Our group enjoyed drinks out by the fire pit. Honestly one of the best rooftop views in all DC. Highly recommended especially for friends that are visiting the area.

   Met with friends for drinks and appetizers. It was a cold night in DC so we sat inside at the low standard table by the large window. It had a great view of the Wharf. The staff was courteous and available. On this night the bar was a little slower with drinks and the wait wasn’t long (our server also notified us in advance). The dumpling appetizer and crab roll were good (I thought the dumplings were a little dry and weren’t presented with any dipping sauce). Easy to make a reservation on OpenTable. Overall a chill nice vibe for drinks and appetizers.

   Service was HORRIBLE. They said they were understaffed but we waited almost an hour for some sushi rolls. I went for my bday and was HIGHLY disappointed. There was a table next to us with a screaming baby. They were out of the dishes that we wanted to order. The water for the tea smelled and tasted like mildew. Sushi came out with no wasabi, finer or soy sauce. The waiter barely came back to check on us. We had to keep waiting and asking for him. And it’s OVER PRICED. I had to talk to the manager at the end of the meal and he comped our drinks but… honestly for that level of service, the whole meal should have been free. Never again. Won’t be going back. I valeted my car because parking in that area is terrible. Valet was $60 with tip!! And the restaurant doesn’t not validate parking. Very mad that I chose that restaurant for my bday dinner.

   Overrated and overpriced culinary experience. I have no doubt that the appeal of the restaurant has much to do with its penthouse location as it offers a breathtaking view of the potomac. Unfortunately when it pours like it did during our visit, we had to dine inside the bar area and were confined to a tiny corner table with very limited space. Despite having made reservations a little under 2 weeks in advance we were initially offered a table in a high traffic area until we requested to switch. We noticed during our visit that at least 4 couples declined to sit at that table due to its location. Kudos to our wonderful waiter for doing a great job explaining the menu.
