The kind of place you go for more hands on service with a meal that is more focused on artistry and presentation than volume. That is not a bad thing when the meal overshadows the amount, shows the dedication of the chef and their craft. Great place to have an experience. Chicken mole was delectable.

Excellent service and ambiance. The dishes were outstanding! We had the shishito peppers, bread basket, aligot croquette, black rice with chorizo and prawns, and the short rib. All highly recommended. Outstanding flavor, quality, and attention to detail. I will surely come back!

Great Venezuelan food (I’m not Venezuelan so grain of salt). Great music. Great service. Such a great spot to have a sit with your girls/man and eat and chat. The price is definitely not 100+ don’t let google stop you from coming.

Cool ambiance. Service was a little lacking. They messed up our orders and gave it to someone else. Took a while for the appetizers to come out. Once the food did come out it was great. All the appetizers were great as well as the main entrees. Things to try: mezze sampler: the macha and kibbe really stood out, lamb lo mein, lamb ribs were awesome, caramelized onion croquettes, roll your croquette, pork chop was a bit chewy, bone in ribeye was cooked pretty good. All the drinks were perfectly balanced and executed well, though a bit on the pricey but I guess that’s DC for you!

Excellent service and gorgeous location. The food and the flavors were delicious and unexpected. The portions were also very filling, ended up with a to go bag. Definitely recommend.

The floor staff were all polite and friendly. Waiters knew the dishes well and could answer most questions without hesitation. We went as a party of four and went for the small plate options to share amongst us. From the gazpacho amuse bouche to the delightful desserts, it was a splendid taste experience. I recommend the Duck chaufa and Rice from the woods dishes. The Lamb lo mein was flavorful but too spicy for my weak palate. Even the bread basket was tasty, especially paired with the red beet hummus. The desserts were lovely and creative. The guava cheesecake was my favorite, but the chocolate banana bomb was also very good (though it does have a spicy sting to it). I would recommend this restaurant for couples or small groups and go for sharing the small plates. Everything we ordered was delicious.

Very good restaurant week lunch. Attentive and helpful service. Food was complex and very good. Good restaurant week value My major gripes: Service fee of 5%—which is NOT a gratuity—please just raise your menu prices. Paid bill using a table QR code. Helpful and efficient but charged a $1 fee to pay the bill. Kind of feel that I’m being “nickled and dimed”—actually dollars to be able to have a decent meal. The staff made me feel welcomed, but the restaurant owners certainly didn’t. Not sure I would return under these conditions—too much upcharging!!
