- TTrishVIPNew Jersey •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoTonight was wet and windy in DC. We left our last museum at 5:30pm. Our dinner reservation was not until 7pm. We walked to the restaurant thinking at a min we could dry out and have a pre dinner drink at the bar. When we arrived we explained that we were an hour early for our reservation but without a fuss we were seated immediately. The service was faultless. Our waiter was a bartender doing double duty. He was knowledgeable about the drinks (duhh) and the food and able to answer all of our questions - and my husband asks lots of questions. He oversaw service and was attentive without being bothersome. Our food was delicious. We ordered a variety of foods and were happy with everything we ate. Highly recommended this spot for a great meal with a loved one, good friend or family.More infoLimani - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Southwest Waterfront•4.3

- MMarcVIPWashington, D.C. Area •22 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe tenderloin, prawns, and sea bass were excellent. The "beet salad" was mostly arugula, which was not even mentioned as an ingredient. The server brought us a plate of extra beets and other ingredients. The chocolate cake was good but not memorable. The price would have been prohibitive if we had not had a significant credit from InKind, an app that I heartily recommend.More infoBistro Du Jour District WharfPrice: Moderate• French• Southwest Waterfront•4.4
- IIsaacToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoMy wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth. The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - IsaacMore infoSHIA RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Korean• Washington•4.9
