Rebecca BredholtApril 20, 2014Parking is right next to restaurant but hard to see at night. The sign looks like this, I loved our dinner experience & recommend it for foodies who have enjoyed Komi, etc.
Yong KwonNovember 20, 2016Shockingly great meal in the middle of nowhere. Can't beat such a meal at this price! Definitely a do-over.

Bill BrownOctober 28, 2016From making reservations, to the welcome; from the bar to the table and kitchen, the staff is outstanding. The Counter Menu was fantastic. A great experience.
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 12, 2014Bitches Who Brunch voted Volt as having the best overall brunch, best doughnuts, and best creative dish (maitake steel cut oats) in 2012!
Sanaz LimoueeJuly 10, 2013Ask for a table with a view of the kitchen especially when Chef Bryan is here! For an overnight trip try Hill House around the corner!
Charles MurschSeptember 19, 2014Excellent! Table 21 with wine pairing is a must. In essence you sample the entire menu. Parking in the rear is a nice bonus.
Libby MillerJanuary 28, 2011You HAVE to make reservations at Table 21! It's booked a year in advance but you can get on a wait list for a specific week. Call everyday to check for cancellations! Worth it!- Lacy BaugherDecember 11, 2010The Chef's tasting menu is the singular best dining experience I've ever had. Incredible all around. And Chef Bryan's so nice!
MarylandAugust 4, 2011Volt is housed in a 19th century, 3 story, 8,000 sq. ft. brick mansion, and is partly owned by “Top Chef” season 6 contestant Bryan Voltaggio!Upvoted Mar 3
Sandy PaoMay 5, 2013Get: squid ink calamari bolognese and hen eggs; skip: bacon doughnuts, monocacy ash; appreciate: the service, chocolate- Natasha AMay 27, 2012Patio and lounge is first come, first served if you can't get reservations. Get the beet salad and goat cheese ravioli.
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 14, 2012With an anything-but-ordinary menu, Chef Bryan Voltaggio is a master of his craft. Learn to build your own creations where this chef did, at the CIA. Check us out: Read more
J Nicole AlfordOctober 3, 2012Try the Oysters and Pearls - #unexpected textures, one #crispy, one #smooth, one #tangy, all shooters
Sara D'Alto (Cappelli)August 21, 2014Tasting menu could feed a small family but absolutely delicious!!! Staff is super friendly- Jennifer AntelmanJuly 11, 2011Make a reservation for the chef table about six months in advance. The food is amazing even if at a regular table.
Rachel SchaefferApril 11, 2013Try the Maitake Mushroom, Steel Cut Oats, Fresh Yeast, Sea Greens - Love it!!!
sandi cienskiJune 23, 2013High hopes for lounge area since in beautiful old manor, disappointing decor .bad mix of modern,low tables so hard to eat ,wait and eat in main area,great service though!
Lauri ParrottAugust 24, 2012Do not sit in lounge / bar area and expect to be waited on.., 2 hostesses, 1 host and 3-4 people working the bar that seats perhaps 15.... Completely ignored for 10 min.... We bolted from Volt......
Brenda CantarilhoOctober 14, 2012Everything was amazing. We have the four course and will be back for the seven course. Worth the month out reservation.

Alicia GDecember 4, 2009Arrive early for your reservation to enjoy a cocktail in the bar where you can watch on TV the going-ons in the kitchen and spot Chef Bryan!
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012The ultimate indulgence is Table 21 in the kitchen, where Voltaggio crafts a 21-course meal as up to eight diners watch.
Joe BethkeJuly 27, 2010Absolutely cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here!! Great food, great staff, supurb atmosphere!!
Maria HOctober 24, 2010We stopped by for an after dinner drink at the bar, very young scene buts a few others were entertaining! Bartenders couldn't suggest music scene but Bryan made it out for a few mins but no meet/greet
MyNeChimKiOctober 12, 2011Plan ahead if you want to dine here... Make reservations MONTHS in advance.
Tiffany JohnsonJanuary 21, 2010Sit at the bar and just order a few things off the menu for a cheaper version of great food! Read more
- Randy DelsackJune 2, 2016Pretentious nonsense. People spend the money to say they were here. Go to a good restaurant, save money, and lie.
Charla PayneDecember 18, 2015I want to go to this restaurant with a special person. Famous and locals alike are thrilled about Volt-
M FrenchyJune 27, 2012Why are you here- for food? Go elsewhere. I spent $250 & 3 hours eating tiny portions of bizarre "food"- nothing extraordinary. Still hungry. Asked for veg/lactose-free, was served meat and lactose.- M FrenchyMarch 21, 2013You'll leave hungry. Their füd is scientific experiment. Prepare to eat rancid ice cream, bitter foam, and its all made fromstuff you could buy at grocery store. $300/2 people minimum for gross ucky
- Rachel SchaefferApril 13, 2013Overpriced and overrated. We will not go back. Food was good but TINY and our waiter was SOOOOO stuck up! We went home and ordered carryout because we were still hungry!Downvoted Mar 3
