Tim Cummings: Wow! Wow! Wow! I’ve had many fine dining experiences but this was the first to catch my attention in a while!

Marie R: Fabulous wine. Get the Vietnamese chicken, crispy cauliflower, gnocchi and lemon tart. Absolutely delicious meal.
Sean Killeen: We absolutely loved everything. The caramelized cauliflower was out of this world. And the desserts were simple and flavorful.
Dana Allen: Sablefish was amazing. Green papaya salad, cobia crudo all fantastic. Blueberry & peach cake for dessert with crème fraiche ice cream was perfection.
Laura G Adams: A bit of luxury, but totally worth it every now and again before you take in a show. Also, the Sunday buffet brunch is tasty and fun to take people to for a special treat.
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.
