   Amazing. The taste was wonderful, every dish was very good. The wine also is so good. Cocktails are good, but not amazing, presentation of cocktails is quite normal. But the food, attention and wine was so good. I definitely recommend it. The taste the Christmas menu and was so good. And the pasta with cheese for my little one also wonderful

   I had a very mixed experience with Bresca. We love going to Michelin starred restaurants, however, this was a weird experience for us in that regard. We were there for a nice dinner celebrating both Christmas and a couple of Birthdays to set the stage. Right next to us was a Mom, Dad, and kid (sub 5 years old) who was yelling and crying randomly throughout the evening. While I appreciate the parents trying to keep him in check, for those of us who are looking for an upscale experience without kids, this is NOT the place. While the food was mixed as there were a couple of amazing plates, I will also state that there were some plates that just didn't hit the mark. Their first bites and the carpaccio were absolutely splendid, but the wagyu steak was the biggest let down I've seen as my wife whispered to me that I cook a better steak than what was presented (though the sauce was very well done, but not enough to save the dish). Finally, the service was great, our waiter was fantastic and very responsive. What was weird for me was all of the issues with the plates and silverware. I personally had chipped plates given to me and my brother-in-law was given mismatched knifes from the rest of us (again not a huge deal) but the big issue and the reason I called it out is due to the knife not cutting at all. We literally had to give him one of our knives for him to finish being able to cut his steak. In the end, would I recommend this place to others, it depends on the type of event you're planning. If it is a special night out, probably not.

   We had a great date! The staff was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. They gave us enough space, but were always there when we needed something. The dry aged duck was amazing!

   Truly fantastic, beginning to end. We opted for the tasting menu and it simply did not miss. Each course was fantastic. Crudo, oyster, and black cod were highlights, along with the gracious and unpretentious service. Easy to see why this is considered one of DC's best restaurants.

   Everything at Bresca was delicious. We really enjoyed the Tagliatelle dish. Cocktails are top notch. Only complaint we can make is that the portions are really small.

   We love dining at Michelin star restaurant however the beginning snacks and first few courses all had very odd taste, and textures that didn’t really go well together and started us off feeling apprehensive about what was to come. Thankfully, the main courses were the star of the show and the desserts were phenomenal. We recommend going there for the wine instead of the cocktails. The service was also amazing although I wasn’t expecting to be sitting more at like a couch like seating instead of a regular chair and table. The place was also noisier and a bit more cramped than I expected.
