I visited the restaurant for dinner one night and for a couple of breakfasts while staying at the Watergate. Overall, it wasn't quite a five-star experience. For dinner, the food was well-seasoned, but it arrived lukewarm, which was disappointing. However, the service was excellent. During breakfast, the service was also great and very prompt, but my latte was lukewarm again. Fortunately, they rectified it on the second attempt. We will definitely return at some point to give them another chance.
The customer service here is outstanding. I had one of the best French toasts I've ever tasted. Fortunately, I had two days to sample a variety of breakfast dishes. I highly recommend this place; it truly exceeded my expectations. Although the prices are on the higher side, you're certainly paying for exceptional quality. After your meal, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterfront. I believe this is a fantastic choice, and you won't be disappointed.
The elaborate food presentation seemed to make up for the lack of something special in the flavor of the dishes. I opted for the $100 four-course tasting menu, adding $10 for the foie gras, which was good but not superior to others I’ve tried. The highlight of the dinner was definitely the nettle ravioli with a runny yolk. The bouillabaisse was decent, but it didn't offer anything particularly unique, aside from the table-side service that accompanied it.
This new restaurant before a concert at the Kennedy Center next door. Did not know that there is only one price fixed menu offered $80 or $100). The service was attentive in almost empty space. The food was very delicious. The next time we dine at the Watergate, it will be in front of the Kingbird who was as crowded as we were shown in the backroom and even more as we left.

Fantastic spot for date night. My wife and I had the 4 course tasting menu. A couple of highlights were the tuna crudo and the bouillabaisse. Both absolute must trys if you get to eat here. In addition to the food, the front of house staff were very helpful with pairings and helped make the evening memorable. Big thanks to Chef Santoro and the rest of the team!
Creative cuisine in DC. The flavors are truly unique. The prix fixe menu was definitely worth the splurge. We typically only order the three-course option, but we discovered some enticing choices on the four-course menu that we wanted to try, so we decided to go for it, and we were not disappointed.
We had a fantastic meal, and the staff and servers were incredibly accommodating. Our server was very attentive and went out of their way to assist our group of six who were celebrating birthdays. We will definitely be back to enjoy the rooftop bar, which offers a wonderful view of the Potomac.
Service was sub par but the food was nice. Despite having a reservation it took about 20 minutes to get a table. After sitting down, the server didn't even know the menu he handed to us had course options.
