Gravitas

"Absolutely perfection! Attentive service, each course of food was an art piece and it challenged all our senses. We even challenged the bartender to make us unique drinks based on certain flavor profiles and his creativity shined. The food was truly one of the best we have ever eaten! We did the 6 course meal and each plate told its own unique story."

"There is a reason why this wonderful restaurant has a Michelin star, because it's well-earned. The food and service are top-notch and every dish is crafted to maximize flavor combination. This is an experience worth trying."

"I have to say I am so disappointed in our experience at Gravitas! I went with my husband for New Year’s Eve dinner on Sunday and have to say the dinner was not worth the price- and I don’t say this lightly as my husband and I are not fussy customers. First, the vibes in the restaurant were just off as soon as we arrived. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our 8pm reservation, and the lobby was not arranged to be any sort of waiting room, it seemed. There was another couple of two already waiting when we arrived, also uncomfortably. Our host was kind but seemed frazzled, kind of already giving us a non-chill vibe. When we finally sat down things seemed to be better. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We received our amuse bouche which was delicious and probably my favorite course (ironically). However, I have a severe tree nut allergy and when the food came, they gave me a nut free replacement for the lamb meat ball. This information was not presented to us as we received the food (not form our waitress). I had to flag our waitress to ask her why ours looked different after a few minutes. This could have been deadly if I tried my husbands food! Other mishaps included fairly undercooked seafood, cold food, large delays in between servings, the toffee pudding was extremely dry and crumbly, and the manager tried to serve my husband the same dish twice for two different courses accidentally. Overall the restaurant atmosphere seemed stressful, not sure if this related to the delays in the kitchen. The bathroom was also disgusting. We were there for three hours in total and I got sick the very next day (I suspect food poisoning to be honest). Overall for the price, it was not what we had hoped for."

"We have now been twice, once in the dinning room and most recently for the tasting menu. If you only eat at one restaurant in DC I highly recommend Gravitas. The food was phenomenal, absolutely out of this world spectacular. Chef Matt Baker put together a menu that really stood out in my mind for its creativity, flavor, and presentation! We also did the wine pairing and I still talk about how amazing it was today. The staff as a whole was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. All in all 10/10 highly recommend"

"Gravitas and its sister restaurant, The Conservatory (on the rooftop) are both excellent and I believe you can’t go wrong with either one. Gravitas has an incredible tasting menu and Conservatory has some of the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. Their sommelier, Angelo, is also amazing. Would recommend!!"
