   Restaurant Eve was a wonderful experience. Like many people on the same night we came to celebrate a special occasion. This time, it was my wife's 28th birthday. The evening from beginning to end was exactly what I wanted it to be for her. Customer service is exceptional here and it shows. If you want a risk free night this place is a great option. You will have no fear that you will be treated well and served tasty and exciting dishes. My encounter with the restaurant started over the phone for reservations. You truly only have one time to make a first impression and I remember the phone call going very well. Located just off King Street but delightfully secluded the atmosphere is lavish but also relaxed. There are multiple ways you can venture on your dining quest here. We chose a la carte however, multiple course tasting menus and Asian family style were also available. An Irish chef serving Asian family style was hard to resist but I'll save that occasion for next time. The bar is hard to beat. I will definitely be back just to partake in those festivities in the near future. Bartender/sommelier Todd Thrasher (who also works with the acclaimed PX lounge) has his handiwork in the mixed drinks. You would be remised if you did not take advantage and order at least a few of his creations. There is not much and everything I could say about the food. Honestly by the time this is read the menu will be different. This is a great problem to have! All items are local farm to table. This description here has more truth and less buzzwordiness compared to other establishments I have visited. Do take the waiters recommendations. You have had chicken or beef many times before and there is no better place to experience something new. With such a talented chef I felt I could have closed my eyes, thrown a dart at the menu and been happy with what was brought. Restaurant Eve stands out among many in so many areas that it collectively becomes a world class destination. Thank you

   This is our go to place for special occasions. We have never been disappointed. The seven course tasting menu paired with the wine tasting menu is a must. Just be sure you have a driver.

   Went to celebrate mother's day. We decided to each do the 5 course tasting menu. Each course was unique. Only criticism for the food is that it was very salty. Although they do not have a physical gluten free menu, they were available to accommodate gluten sensitivities very well. The cocktails we ordered were all excellent. Great place for that special occasion.

   Another fabulous dining experience at our favorite "go-to" restaurant. The menu is always changing seasonally and there is a true "farm-to-table" effort by the chef, including sourcing from the backyard herb garden. The staff is superb and very friendly. We have a high bar for restaurants and food quality and Eve one of the few that exceeds. Can't wait to return.

   Excellent cocktails and tasty salads. I am ready for some additions to the menu, however.

   Restaurant Eve has an excellent reputation in the D.C. Area as a fine-dining sure-thing, but I had never had the pleasure before last weekend. It was one of the best meals of my life and service was superb, exceptional even for fine dining. From the moment we arrived we felt taken care of. A mouth-watering house bread (which our server said is made at sister property, Society Faire) with dark, crisp crust and moist, chewy interior is offered warm from passing baskets. We ordered the steamed clams and mussels and the beet salad for firsts. The seafood was perfectly cooked (rarely the case with mussels) in a flavorful but light broth, and the beet salad was a fun surprise with a neat row of beets that alternated between smoked and pickled preparations. Each bite was a little bit different, and a fine, slightly salty streusel tied them together. For mains my date had the seared rockfish fillet with trumpet mushrooms and was raving about it. I had the steak fritte, and I can't say enough about it. I was hesitant because I hadn't had good experiences with grass-fed cuts in the past, but the server assured me this would be moist and flavorful. It was the best beef flavor I've had in a very long time, and it seemed to be prepared with a shallot/ red wine reduction on top (just enough, not swimming in it) that had the barest hint of rosemary. The portion was very generous; I could only eat half of it. It came with some of the best fries I've ever had - crispy on the outside and creamy potato flavor on the inside, served with a perfectly dreamy, well seasoned aioli. Now, desserts are a must-do. The pastry chef, Josh Jarvis, has a refreshing menu filled with house made cheeses and preserved fruit from the kitchen garden. We had all six desserts, because we couldn't decide. Sizes are appropriately small after a couple of other courses, so make sure to order one per person, then share. Currently, the rhubarb tart and strawberry shortcake capture Spring. 4 stars!!!

   My wife and I had the 7 course tasting menu with wine tasting. Some of the disses pushed us to try new things and yet we enjoyed every bit of the experience. One of the best and most memorable meals of my life.

   Might have been an off day, but our food was not prepared well. Had the rigatoni. Broth was great, but rigatoni and squid were both over and under cooked somehow... Drinks were good, but everything was way too expensive for what it was.
