    We went to Jont two years ago and it was spectacular then and I wasn’t sure how they could improve. However, this visit was off the charts and I’m not sure why they don’t have three Michelin stars yet. We have been to 30 Michelin stars worth of restaurants globally so we have a pretty good perspective. Chef Ryan was in the kitchen (which you essentially sit at a bar adjacent to) the whole time and he came over and spent some time with us which was very cool. The staff is funny, friendly and well informed. I got the special Waygu Zabuton in lieu of chicken and it was probably the best steaks I’ve ever had. Sometimes these type restaurants get a little too eclectic with one or two dishes, and that wasn’t the case here. Every dish wowed our family. In fact, my wife ate Uni for the first time (having passed on it before) and loved it. We feel fortunate to have this spot in DC and can’t wait to go back.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Jônt. The service was absolutely impeccable. The food journey was so thoughtfully creative and perfectly executed. The pairings were well balanced to complement each excursion. The ambience was truly delightful and we appreciated the moderate noise level as it allowed us to engage in conversation.

    A perfect evening from a culinary standpoint. However too noisy (loud music) to be able to converse comfortably. At times could not hear what the servers were saying when they were describing the food.

    Jont is remarkable. We've been fortunate in life and have been to 20 Michelin 3 stars. Jont deserves a third star. The four of us were in agreement that it's a top five restaurant of all time for us. For us that puts it in the league of Alinea and the Fat Duck. High praise. Everything was perfect. Beautiful presentations, incredible food, perfect service. We even loved the music in the main dining area. We were celebrating a special occasion and worked with Kinga, who helped us surprise our son with a special gift. She and the whole team were remarkable. The test of a Michelin 3 star is, would you make a special trip to a City just to dine at the restaurant? We've been to multiple 3 stars where we've come away amazed, but not sure we'd make a trip just for the restaurant. Jont is different. Even if we didn't live in DC, we would make a trip here to dine at Jont. It's a special experience.
