    The food was phenomenal! We got the scallops, Caesar salad, and short rib. Everything was delicious! Our server Devan was amazing!!! I would ask him for if he is available. We also had a beautiful view of the Potomac.

    I recently dined at Xiquet by Danny Lledó and had the incredible 10-course tasting menu. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing exceptional creativity, technique, and flavors that truly honored Valencia's culinary traditions. The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and professional. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings added so much depth to the meal, making every course feel even more special. The attention to detail in both the presentation of the dishes and the ambiance of the restaurant was remarkable. I especially appreciated how each dish told a story, reflecting the chef’s passion and expertise. It’s rare to find a dining experience that’s both so elevated and so personal. Xiquet is not just a meal—it’s a journey, and I cannot recommend it enough for anyone seeking a fine dining experience that leaves a lasting impression. I can’t wait to return!

    Mike was fantastic, and so was the busser who’s name I did not get, very quick and effective. Beer suggestions were amazing, which Mike is solely responsible for. The one thing that I would suggest as it stuck out to me was the blue linen cart in the front, it was way too close to the door and was very noticeable, as well as near Wisconsin ave there is a stack of boxes that was sort of an eye sore. Nevertheless, great expirence, great food, and last but certainly not least great service by Mike and the Busser.

    From the views, to the service, and the great food, this is a restaurant we’d come to again, even if we weren’t staying at The Morrow. Had drinks there earlier in the day and both of our experiences were just fabulous.
