Rooster & Owl

"Absolutely delicious food. Every bite was a treat to my palate. The asian pear was a refreshing start. The scallops were melt in your mouth and so was the pork belly. The sauces that were on each plate with the bites were so yummy. I will definitely go back to try something different. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. They kept our drink glasses full (water) without having to ask and the table was cleared, cleaned, and reset after each tasting."

"Update: this place is still one of the very best dining experiences in dc. And among the best I’ve had in the world. Superb food. Superb service. I feel very lucky to live so close to one of our city’s very best restaurants. The menu changes seasonally so sorta hard to recommend anything. We were two couples and there were four choices under each section so we ordered everything and shared. I wish I could eat here all the time!"

"I don't impress easily. I have high standards, but I also understand different classes of restaurants. We came to celebrate my 70th birthday. My wife picked the restaurant. We arrived right on time and were immediately seated at a corner table with a view of the entire place. Our server was Ginger, who was very personable and knowledgeable. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was excellent, as expected. What was both surprising and most impressive was the efficiency of the staff. As soon as we finished a course, the table was cleared and cleaned, and new setups delivered. Explanations for every dish and wine selection were on point. Chris, the manager, had a significant presence, keeping an eye on everything. He has the presence of an owner. Suffice it to say we were suitably impressed. Two Michelin stars. Well deserved."

"Phenomenal food experience. I always judge my fine dining experiences by a simple question “was it worth the price”? And Rooster and Owl resoundingly was. I went with a group of four which is perfect because it allowed us to order every dish off the menu. I’m still thinking about the Kampachi, lobster autumn roll, duck breast, and goat cheese cheesecake. Service is what you expect, just amazing in every way. A very special night with friends and a meal I won’t forget!"

"FOOD was fun! Every plate had its own delicious and authentic taste. The most I liked among the plates was kampachi raw scallop, Halibut w clam sauce, duck breast and all the desserts. Portion was not that large but filling with some drink. Dining was slightly chill to me without coat on."
