A luxurious experience with a delicious and innovative menu. As a vegan, my husband especially appreciated the creativity to bring “seafood” to the fore. The caviar plate delighted us with the combination of pickled shallots, capers,fresh herbs and the surprisingly decadent finger lime crème fraiche. Each dish was beautifully composed and well balanced, highlighting very unique ingredients: chiogga beets, Okinawa sweet potatoes, kinome leaf, tamarillos. Wine pairings were perfect. Hope we come back to DC soon so we can experience the changing menu.

4 of us, ate and talked a long time and never felt we were being rushed. 4 entrees, 2 appetizers. All flavors very delicious and cooked nearly perfectly. Lamb shank with carrots&raisins rice (sweet to balance savory) was outstanding - uber tender meat falling off the bone like buttuh!
