    Our experience for Christmas dinner was overall pretty good. The service was great and the staff was friendly. The food was very delicious, we enjoyed the octopus, wagyu meatballs and the flatbread. For dinner we had the roasted chicken, surf and turf, beef wellington and chilean sea bass with mac and cheese, brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Steak was delicious! Lobster tail could of used a bit more seasoning. Beef wellington was great but the crust tasted like ritz crackers. Chilean Sea bass was tasty, the sauce was sweet and buttery. To one of my kids it had a taste of sea moss. The mac n cheese was good but a little underwhelming. Brussel sprouts were good with a hint of spice, but the reduction sauce was a bit too sweet and overpowering the vegetable. The potatoes were good. Great experience overall, and we do intend to come back to try other items on the menu.

    We had a party of six on Christmas afternoon and it was lovely. The food is great, centralized location, great plating, wide array of menu choices. Jasmine was a terrific waitress. We even asked to change table locations and it was accommodated with no stress. I can’t wait to visit DC again and come back to this great find!

    Went for the Christmas Day Brunch and Dinner buffett as something different for achristmas this year. The food was great. Only complaint was that they needed to have larger plates of some of the featured meats so they didn't empty so quickly. They also had items from the kitchen that were walked around and offered by staff frequently. The wait staff and management team were incredibly attentive and friendly. The noise level was very loud, but that should be expected when a place is that busy, especially with a lot of families or groups of friends sitting around several tables. Overall, a great choice as a deviation from a normal Christmas breakfast.
