Inspired by Chef Johnny Spero’s global travels, yet rooted in his Mid-Atlantic upbringing, Reverie is a Michelin-starred fine-dining experience without pretension or fuss. Hidden in a Georgetown alleyway, Spero has redefined luxury in a comfortable, inviting atmosphere, showcasing masterful culinary creativity alongside upbeat music and minimalist decor. The tasting menu skews heavily coastal with offerings from the garden and the sea, along with a sense of humor and novelty that balances the sheer beauty of Spero’s cooking. Simultaneously indulgent and charmingly casual, the restaurant invites guests to bring a sense of curiosity, while leaving their troubles at the door.

Our current menu is offered at $255 per guest with optional beverage pairings available as well.

We can accommodate some but not all food allergies so please inquire before booking via info@reveriedc.com.

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.

    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.

    The experience itself is fine. But when compared with other tasting menus, Reverie is not a good value. It lacks the presentation of minibar; the execution of Causa; the elegance of Sushi Nakazawa. Reverie is good but not memorable. Considering the cost, it's not a good value.

    We had a wonderful time in this quiet restaurant with excellent Sommelier and fantastic seafood. Although $165 x2 for the wine course, it was outstanding and very relevant to enjoying the food. Only hit is that 2 people, tasting menu and wine pairing with tip and tax added on the total amount. is ~$1200. We have a great memory and the food was terrific but didn’t feel great when paying the bill. They could pull $100 out a two person wine pairing.

    This was an amazing experience. I would 100% recommend coming here for dinner. We have gone to a number of Michelin starred restaurants in the USA and this was by far one of the best experiences we have had. Between the service, the location, and the food we really had no bad things to speak about. If we did have one negative to say it would be the seating area is small (which is normal) and if other guests are loud it gets quite obnoxious, but that is NOT on the restaurant and quite frankly is a normal experience in most Michelin starred places.

    Simply the best dining/service experience we have ever had. The consideration and creativity in accommodating my wife’s dietary restrictions…unmatched. And how could every single item we tasted be so delicious? How?!

    It was super delicious and great service! My favorite dish was the fish was caviar, the sauce that was with it was phenomenal. The rice dish that looks like a soup at first was also unlike anything I've ever tasted. Note that there's already a 22% tip that's automatically added to everyone's order! Overall great job and great service
