Washington Post: One of the best appetizers fit for a last meal request: Crumbled pork sausage, litchis, coconut milk, tropical herbs, fiery habanero. When you get your bill: Chocolate-mint meringue cookies. Read more.
Washington Post: The pork sausage, habanero and litchi salad delivers nirvana in a mix of mint, cilantro and Thai basil, a broth scented with biting habanero and a jumble of textures. Read more.

Elaine Joseph: Order the duck, it was incredible and they served it with several sides. Everything we had was great, including the asparagus saladand scallops. Can't wait to go back!
Tim Cummings: Wow! Wow! Wow! I’ve had many fine dining experiences but this was the first to catch my attention in a while!

Julia Park: Chicken is very juicy, soft, delicious. Octopus - soft and perfectly seasoned. We had tuna appetizer, good but have tasted elsewhere as nice… service was fantastic. Lovely space - bar tender 100/100!
Gonzalo: Carefully crafted menu. Delicious sea bass and rabbit. Excellent desert menu. Of note, the staff’s attention to detail.
Bridget Gael: LOVE this spot- great ambiance, impeccable service & great food- we loved the heirloom tomatoes, char, and sticky pudding cake. Superb wine list- Mark their sommelier is a great guide

Pat Dougherty: Food is great, and a very under rated restaurant
Sean Robertson: Cuppa cocktail was excellent, as was the cassoulet.
Karen L.: I love Sunday Brunch here. The view is wonderful and the food is very good. $$$, but it is not just brunch, it's an experience.
Washington Post: The average patron is in and out of the Roof Terrace in 60 minutes. Get the tuna tartare: The wonton chips are for scooping, and the pinpricks of heat in the appetizer are courtesy of Sriracha. Read more.
On On: Fast service will get you to your show on time. Quality of the entrees is excellent.
