    I took my girlfriend to La Grande Boucherie for our anniversary dinner. It was probably the best anniversary dining experience I could have asked for. The service was very professional and attentive. Our server was very kind and made sure we had a good experience. The food was incredible and the cocktails were tasty. I recommend LGB for special occasions and for dining with people you really care about—no better way to show them. Also, the live jazz bar was amazing. I want to say thank you for such a great memory, one that my partner and I will cherish for a long time to come.

    This place never disappoints. What a great wine and cocktail menu. We started with a bottle of Sauvignon blanc followed by their famous crab cakes which were superb. We ended the meal with slices of key lime pie. The restaurant was busy...thank goodness we had a reservation but the waitstaff never hurries the customers which is delightful. If you’re in DC, don’t miss eating here.

    The food here is insane! From the bread to the olive oil and olive dip they give to go with it…so good. I had the ravioli and my husband the lasagna and they were outstanding! This is a new favorite I now have. The only thing I don’t love, but it is just what is, is the closeness of tables and noise level. However, I would sit with someone else to get a table here! Make reservations!!!

    I recently celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday at JONT, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to make the evening incredibly special, ensuring every detail was perfect. The 30+ dishes were an absolute culinary masterpiece—each bite bursting with flavor and showcasing incredible attention to detail. The personalized touches and the staff’s warmth made the entire evening feel intimate and unique. We also appreciated the thoughtful gestures, like taking great pictures for us at the end of the night, which added a wonderful keepsake to the memories. Every step of the experience was carefully crafted to be exceptional, and JONT delivered in every way. This was more than just a dinner—it was a journey of flavors and hospitality that my family will cherish forever. Highly recommended for any special occasion!
