Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Brookland / Brentwood

Experience was awesome. Great date night spot or just hanging at the bar. Michelle our waiter was awesome and loved the experience. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

This place was extraordinary. It was 4 of us. My young adult kids and my husband and myself. We had the fish carpaccio and mussels to start. Both dishes were perfect. My kids were fighting over the mussel sauce in the end!! I had the soup of the day which was butternut squash made with a potato base and no dairy, incredibly flavorful!!! Delicious. Main dishes were pappardelle Alfredo, spaghetti with pancetta, filet mignon and I had the branzino. Everyone loved their food. I couldn’t finish the branzino since it was so much but I must say I order branzino often and this one is the best I have ever had! It was perfectly deboned, with so much skill, I was so impressed. The flavor was insane. A shame we are at a hotel and couldn’t bring the rest back. Service was perfect. Not rushed, very attentive, prompt clean up of plates. We had a female waitress. She was excellent! And the price! We live in Mismi and thought they might have forgotten to add something to the check. It is VERY reasonable. Loved a casual ambiance yet great setting, low background music. What a gem!!!! We loved it!!!

This was a great experience. From the time we walked in until we left the staff were considerably, attentive, and extremely nice. The energy is inviting. The open kitchen was a nice addition to the experience filling the room with warmth. The menu was clearly designed with deep thought and intention. Would highly recommended.

This last meal was quite possibly the best I have experienced at Xiquet yet. Our table loved the perfectly cooked partridge and amazing sauce on the sea bass. The festive decorations, kind staff and Spanish kings cake for dessert made for a cozy holiday evening. We are already looking forward to more celebrations at Xiquet next year.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
