So here is the deal. I got a dinner for 2 valued at $120 thru Verizon up program. After making the reservation I took my wife and we went to the restaurant. The restaurant is very nice and quiet with low lighting, it has a modern look to it. The lady who greeted us was super nice and gave us our Verizon up menus. Then came the server. When she saw we had Verizon up menus she looked not so happy. She never introduced herself. She took our order. I ordered green salad that was great. Then Flat iron steak with mushrooms for main course she never asked what sides I wanted when the plate can it had potatoes and green beans on it). I did not want to make a scene but anyway the food was excellent....
a good experience from beginning to end. very grateful that the environment was in the conversation when we celebrated the visit of an old friend. from any reason the restaurant was not busy on a Saturday. difficult to interpret as ominous. Eating was very good, seemed quite traditional but beautifully flavored, fresh and ready to perfection. I had the ducks that were crispy in the outside, on the inside succulent and from the braided cauliflower nicely complicated. craft cocktails were excellent and packed a welcome Walop. would recommend corduroy in any case. it filled a substantial niche with gnade and skill.
Best meal I've had in a LONG time. I already want to go back. We had the tuna. I also had the red snapper bisque- amazing. My friend had the beet salad and she enjoyed it. Oh, but that tuna! Perfection! Waitress was helpful and nice but she let us sit a bit too long once we finished. I noticed a faint cigar scent from the shop next door.
Terrible execution. Some dishes were conceptually bad, whereas some were just overly salted. Seems like the kind of place that caters to diplomats and bureaucrats just looking for quaint digs. But for a foodie or a former industry professional this probably isn't the place to go. We tried half the menu only the tuna tar tar was decent.

The food was, as always, tasty. The tuna and duck confit were both solid, as was the tuna tartare, and the tarte tatin for dessert--those stood out. The service was okay but discombobulated--there were some long gaps between courses that would have been nice to have shorter. Still, the restaurant is worthy of your patronage.
We had the tasting menu. The proteins were expertly cooked. Tuna tartar with micro-greens was visually stunning. Red snapper on hijiki sushi rice, a signature dish at Corduroy, is a must. Service was gracious and discrete. One of the absolute best winelists in DC.
This restaurant was incredible. A small selection of amazing dishes specially crafted by the chef. The intricacy of the taste was wonderful. I am going to make. this my go-to restaurant for out-of town guests and business meals.
Food was decent, not quite worth the price. Service was slow during a time where the restaurant wasn't very busy. Atmosphere was nice, not overly crowdedFood: 4/5

Overall good dining experience. The food and atmosphere was good. The only negative was the slowness of service from the kitchen.
