    Love the food and service, but i do wish the staff wasn’t as attentive because it felt like we were being pushed out. Logically, I understand; however, it’s difficult to have a meaningful conversation when there is someone asking to grab the leftovers every 5 mins or so…

    Elizabeth’s was an amazing experience overall! Every dish was presented with a detailed explanation and with care. All of the courses were carefully and meticulously crafted to bring out delicious, complex flavors. The food was also beautiful to look at with an artistic flare. This restaurant was a very special treat on my recent trip to DC.

    The restaurant is very clean and upscale. The host greeting you was professional. Unfortunately there were several inconveniences that occurred during the night. We ordered off the 3 course meal. We gave the waitress each of our orders. Someone in my party is GF and the dessert options were not GF. She said she would look into if the sorbet was GF and what flavors they had as an accommodation. She never followed up. First course came, lettuce wraps were delicious. Good amount of food. We waited over 20 minutes between our first and second course. When the second course finally arrived, the wrong order was brought. They brought the correct item within 6 minutes but still was awkward to watch my friend eat a quarter of her meal while I waited for my correct item. Prior to dessert, they bring you hand towels to wipe up. Nice touch but the scent of these towels is foul and overbearing. So much so that when you are eating and the table next to you uses them, it distracts from the meal, in addition to personal use and the scent remains on your hand. My guest went as far as to go wash it off because she could not tolerate the smell. I think a non scented option would be much better. When dessert came, both cakes were packed to go. So I opened the to go container and ate the cake out of that even though I said Id eat it in person and my friend would take hers to go and give to me, still disappointed she didn’t get a GF offer/option. Overall, given that this is supposed to be a fine dining option, I was disappointed by these mishaps as a first time guest who wanted to enjoy a luxury experience.

    Stopped in for brunch. The choices were incredible. We loved the bottomless drink options. The family style food was an interesting offering, we haven’t seen anything like that anywhere else. The service was quick and attentive. Overall great experience, we are looking forward to returning soon!
