- DDevonNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.More infoBrescaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American• U Street Corridor•4.6
