Jônt Washington Reviews
I love sitting at a tasting counter where you can watch the
I love sitting at a tasting counter where you can watch the chefs do their thing. It also promotes conversation with your fellow diners (as does the glass of champagne they serve you upon being seated). Loved the whiskey drinks made and served tableside. Too many courses to comment on each on e but loved the uni, samara (and I don't even like beets), and the koshiibuki rice. I didn't notice them roasting the yellow chicken on a wood grill but it was phenomenal. They take you to a separate room for dessert (helps the turnover to the second service) but the room is charming and you get to socialize with more of your fellow diners. Everything was quite lovely. The service was friendly but professional. There is great attention to detail ( they noticed my neighbor left handed and he had served his cutlery appropriately). Quite pricey but would highly recommend.
Unforgettable Dining Experience at Bresca: A Culinary Journey of East Meets West
Words can't fully express how much I enjoyed dining at Bresca. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both like a cozy neighborhood bistro and a place of refined elegance. The decor, with its green moss walls and charming goldfish decorations, is fun, creative, bright, and relaxing. The service was exceptional. Our sommelier was knowledgeable and helpful, recommending a Reserva Rioja that paired perfectly with our dry-aged duck and wagyu beef. Our server, Matt, provided impeccable service. Despite our group of eight, all plates were cleared at once, and all dishes were served simultaneously. When one guest went to the bathroom, Matt held the plates to keep them warm and served them upon their return. What I loved most was Chef Ryan Ratino’s creativity in transforming humble dishes by combining the best of Eastern and Western culinary traditions to elevate classic French cuisine. My favorite dish of the night was the Potato Pierogi. The snap pea and ricotta filling was velvety, with the snap pea perfectly reflecting Chef Ryan’s passion for seasonal ingredients. The whole plate sang of summer. The Diver Scallop dish was another standout, with the crunch of hazelnuts and the umami brought out by Japanese ingredients such as kombu and shiso. If no one had been watching, I could have picked up the plate and licked every drop of the sauce—it was that good! At the end of the day, food brings people together. I dined here with a group of businessmen from Taiwan for the Select USA summit, and we were all thrilled with our choice. Everyone agreed it was one of the best meals they had ever had in the USA. Thank you, Chef Ryan, Manager Tobias Froehlich, and Matt, for making this an unforgettable experience. Bresca is truly a place where memories are made.
What a beautiful dining experience.
.. we came here for our anniversary dinner and were treated like royalty... It felt like we were being led to a secret pop up Michelin star restaurant... from the hidden waiting room area to the long stair case past the dessert bar area... to the opening of the most beautiful and bright chef table dining experience... Everything was immaculate from the plating (as you will see in the pictures) to the spotless and beautiful kitchen... no detail was left to chance... Each dish was so complex... I couldn't keep the details stored in my brain to recall... so many dishes were the peak of culinary perfection... from robust flavors to complimentary delicacy and respect of the ingredients... there was intentional purpose felt in every bite... Here is where I will plead with my fellow foodies to choose the non-alcoholic beverages... I know... it sounds crazy... but the thoughtful creative pairing of each drink and the dish was mind blowing! It's absolutely deserving of its Michelin stars... the price point matches its well deserved accolades... Just take a look at the beautiful pictures and know that the service is even better... If you have any special occasions coming up... make your reservations and make your way to a magical culinary journey and unforgettable experience...
This is one of the most beautiful kitchens ever! The
This is one of the most beautiful kitchens ever! The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, the plating and silverware for each course was well thought out. I try to come in with an open mind for what I'm getting into and the less I know about a place, the better, so I try not to read too far into reviews until after the fact so that I can make my own opinions and am not sitting and waiting in anticipation of certain dishes. Personally, Kinga, the GM, made the dining experience for me. She was knowledgeable, personable, and didn't judge a book by it's cover (I made my reservation on the fly and wasn't dressed like everyone else). We did the Jont wine pairing, which was very good. Dessert was delicious, but I was sooo stuffed from the main room that dessert didn't get the appreciation and attention that it deserved, but the strawberry one was my favorite! (a handful of quick snaps from the experience)
We came for a milestone birthday and it was a really
We came for a milestone birthday and it was a really special experience from the ambiance to the service and of course the food :) The standouts for us were the butterfish, truffle crab rice, the a5 wagyu zabuton and lamb (though i think the upcharge for the wagyu serving is a tad steep for the quantity) and surprisingly, the chicken. I loved the chicken wing & how it kept its shape with the crispy skin and wing meat texture but the inside was stuffed and soooo juicy! After your courses at the chef's counter they take you to the pastry lounge for a few courses of desserts. While they were all really unique I do wish we had less dessert courses and 1 more savory course but thats just personal preference Definitely a place reserved for special occasions given the $$$ but worth trying at least once!
Went here for an anniversary/birthday treat.
It was our favorite food experience of our life so far. Everything was cooked to perfection and unique. The service was impeccable. The flavors were so addicting... you wanted to lick your plate clean. The atmosphere was interesting, unique, and intimate. Wine pairing was great also. Well explained and fit well with the plates. There are so many little things about how you're treated here that makes you feel appreciated. Started us off with champagne for our anniversary and at the end of the night gifted me a delicious snickerdoodle cookie with a candle lol. Loved it. Can't forget the cat toy they gave us too (they are clever enough to ask questions about you and your life to pick up on things for these little additions). They also sent us home with popcorn! Treat yourself! You won't regret it. We'll be talking about this for years, and we'll definitely be back again.
Wow, just wow! Dined at Jont on Saturday night, and the
Wow, just wow! Dined at Jont on Saturday night, and the entire experience was incredible. Some of the (very few) less than outstanding reviews have said that the food did not match the food at other Michelin Star restaurants. Nothing could be further than the truth. I have also dined at Michelin-starred restaurants both in the US and Europe, and it is only a matter of time before Jont gets a third star. While each serving was outstanding, here are my personal favorites: 1. The Wagyu Tartare was a highlight of the opening snack. 2. the Koshiibuki Rice-Niigata was wonderful, adding in truffles with the king crab is a must! 3. You wouldn't think chicken would be a highlight, but the Yellow Chicken had so much flavor that I was trying to suck every morsel of meat off the wing. It only because of space that I only named three favorite courses, as I loved them all. As for the service, it rocked. I wish I had gotten the names of everyone who took part as I don't want to leave anyone out. Thank you to everyone who made us feel special from the moment we walked in. Special kudos go to Gabriel, Eric, and Autumn who saw to our every need. While some "event" meals are one and done, meaning that once I experienced them I had no desire to go twice, Jont makes me want to return as often as I can.
Fantastic food and service.
Expensive but worth the cost. Each of the 30 items were delicious. The wine pairings were well chosen. Staff is courteous and efficient. I highly recommend Jont!
Come early and enjoy a cocktail in their lounge area before
Come early and enjoy a cocktail in their lounge area before making your way up. I was still sipping on mine when our table was ready and the host had it brought to our table. That was a nice touch. Personalized tablets welcome you and guide you through menu options. We decided to update to the truffles and we appreciated the elevation brought to the dish. The flavors were amazing in each dish and I couldn't help but think of the movie Willy Wonka as the flavor profiles seemed to burst in your mouth at different points in every bite! Each ingredient really shined in these dishes. The throwback songs are right up our alley and caught ourselves singing along a few times. Wine pairing was amazing, and I appreciated the story to why they selected these wines and the history of the vineyards. The bathrooms were a skip away, with automated seats that lifted upon and arrival, were heated, and had a Digital Touch operation pad. It's the coziest bathroom I've ever been in with fun fishy wallpaper and dimly lit. Every time I had to use the restroom they promptly replaced my napkin with the a fresh one. We both appreciated the interactive elements of our meal- like selecting your chopsticks and then moving to a different area for dessert and unboxing each section. The staff were all pleasant and each had their own vibe. The level of attention we had the amazing privilege to view and watch from our seats is unforgettable.
Jaunt - more like "haunt".
.. haunted by a search for greatness. Overall very middle of the road experience. Was hoping for many standout dishes, but most of them were meh. A few weren't very tasty, and I didn't finish them (the uni, the mushroom broth). Standout dishes were the first bites (the steam bun and the brioche), a Japanese whitefish with a lovely herbal sauce, the rice, the tempura mushroom, the bread with the main course, and the shaved ice dessert was excellent - very light, flavor, and unique. The rest was pretty average and unmemorable. I had a scallop sub for the beef course, and it was pretty unremarkable and overwhelmed by a truffle sauce. The service was quite nice, but there were a few service misses - a wine glass was taken away before the beverage was finished and the hot towels were served with the main dish so they were cold by the time we were done eating. Surprised it's a 2 star Michelin. For this price point, I would instead recommend a "jaunt" to NYC for Le Bernadin or to Napa for The French Laundry. Those are totally worth it!
Presentation was beautiful and service was great.
The food was good, but not spectacular for a 2 Michelin star spot. Perhaps there are better seasonal menus.
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to dine at Jont
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to dine at Jont with a friend, and capturing its unique charm in words is no easy task. Their absolute commitment to detail and impeccable service is transcendent. We were asked our preference for still or sparkling water and, before I could even fathom needing a refill, my glass was artfully replenished - a maneuver they managed to pull off without us noticing. An out-of-the-box, yet refined, gesture was encouraging customers to place phones on a small rectangular pad; this seemingly small touch amplified the élan and clean aesthetics of the space incredibly. After a course demanded finger-food etiquette, warm towels were presented, much to our appreciation. The warm and convivial staff was like the cherry on top - always eager to engage in friendly banter, creating an atmosphere akin to dining with friends. Moving on to the real star of the night: the food. Rather than an exhaustive critique of the extensive litany of dishes, I'll share a few standout highlights. The bafun uni - a symphony of savory, richness, and portioned perfection, presented beautifully. The medai was sheer palatable delight; the koshiibuki rice encapsulated truffle's sheer indulgence. The wagyu beef, so exquisite, it forced a revelation - it was as though I was truly discovering wagyu' full potential for the first time. Following this course, we were chaperoned to another section of Jont for dessert - our tantalizing second act. The butter mochi dessert was simplicity at its most deceptive, morphing into an under-the-foam surprise of mochi that left us in awe. To conclude, a playful puzzle-box containing 8 dainty sweet treats was offered. We decided to take ours home (of course, eating the freshly baked madeleines while they were still fresh), accompanied by a mint matcha latte for our morning enjoyment - a final note of deliciousness. In a nutshell, this was not my last visit to Jont. I'm excited to return soon!
Delicious restaurant week meal
Came here for restaurant week. Set menu was $65 for three courses. Had two tummy amuse bouche to begin then cavatelli with bacon and crunchy rice crisps, pork with fingerling potatoes and banana-chocolate mousse cake for desert. All were so delicious. We also upgraded 1 meal to wagyu beef for additional $30 - so tender and flavorful - and added an extra dish of fried chicken with caviar for $35. The service was exceptional. The restaurant was on the casual side and a bit loud - I had walked by here so many times and never guessed it was a Michelin 1 star. Would come again.
This was one of the very best meals of my life, if not the
This was one of the very best meals of my life, if not the best. From start to finish, every single bite had the most perfect and surprising flavors. It just kept getting better. The pumpkin chawanmushi was the best chawanmushi that i've ever had. I also could not get over the bluefin tuna with salted raspberry, it was so satisfying and the sauce was addicting. I also got the White Truffle addition. At some other restaurants, i've thought that the truffles weren't worth the money, but that was not the case at Jônt, the white truffles were very high quality and truly enhanced the dishes that they were shaved on. The kinki and the koshibuki rice were also both favorites. The rib cap and tongue were very memorable as well, and in my opinion steak courses can be easy to forget about. Even though every course was incredible, the highlight of the night was their duck course. It was seriously the best duck that i've ever had, the fat was rendered so perfectly, and the sauce was so rich and sweet yet savory. The bread was also insanely good and the broth went so well with the dish, the mushroom stuffed with sausage was very good as well. After the savory courses concluded, we were brought to their dessert parlor. It started with a "tasting of strawberry" which had 3 different small bites one of which was Japanese strawberries. The next dessert was a Concord grape shaved ice dessert that reminded my boyfriend and I of a PB&J, it was so delicious. The last dessert was a Mont Blanc, which was of course insane as well. The evening finished with a huge box of mignardises. Jônt might be pricey, but its worth every cent, it can easily be compared to the other 3 Michelin starred restaurants that i've been to, I won't be surprised once they get awarded with it. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable meal.

Jont just keeps getting better and better!!! It's been a while since I have been there and I pleasantly surprised to find that not only did they maintain the same excellence I had during a previous experience, but they actually went and raised the bar making the restaurant that much more epic. Everything from the food the ambiance and the staff are absolutely perfect. When I say perfect I mean perfect, they don't miss a thing. I can honestly say that I am surprised that Jont does not have 3 Michelin stars as I truly believe they are at that level.

We had the privilege of dining here for our first time to celebrate our anniversary and from the moment we entered the dining area the ambience set the tone for our journey of an absolute amazing culinary experience. I'm a hip-hop and R&B head, so the playlist vibes won me over from the jump -- As it relates to the courses, the flavor profiles from beginning to end were truly divine leaving us with a difficult decision to identify a particular favorite when all of the courses were incredible. I also applaud and appreciate the smaller, but important details relative to plating presentation, pairing of utensils, and exceptional service. Ultimately, Jônt lives up (and arguably exceeds) its reputation as a Michelin two-star acclaimed restaurant and is highly recommended. Thank you for a very memorable anniversary dinner and we are excited to return again in the near future!
Good food, terrible restaurateurs
Good food. Great and attentive service. Nice wines by the glass. Why the 1 star review? The unbelievable greed in the part of the restaurant. The regular tasting menu on Dec 29, $155. Same menu one day later?? 265? Why? SAME MENU no special additions, just a money grab from this restaurant. Let’s talk about the added service charge. Lots of restaurants are Now charging them to offset the wage disparity between FOH and BOH. 4-6% I can live with these thieves?? 23%. If your business model can’t support your staff with $255 tasting menus…. Maybe you should rethink it!!
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this two-star Michelin restaurant. The service was painfully slow, with our food taking a whole hour to arrive. We ordered a $150 bottle of wine, only to be informed 30 minutes later that they didn't have it anymore - a baffling situation. The sea urchin soup was a frozen disaster, making it clear that quality control was nonexistent. To top it off, the nearly $1400 check left a bitter taste that surpassed any of the poorly executed dishes. This place is undoubtedly the worst in the DC area. Adding to the misery, Chef Ryan was present throughout our ordeal, yet did nothing to salvage the experience. Despite the evident chaos, his lack of intervention or effort to rectify the situation further solidifies this restaurant as a regrettable choice in the DC area. The dismal experience was exacerbated by the blaring and cringe-worthy music that filled the restaurant - a cacophony of bad rap with offensive lyrics. It seems even the ambiance was a dreadful mismatch, contributing to the overall disappointment of this Michelin-starred establishment.
This experience was amazing!!! It is expensive but I will
This experience was amazing!!! It is expensive but I will go again. The food, the service, the staff, the ambiance was amazing!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Jont. I was even able to speak with Chef Ryan. He was extremely humble and friendly. I can not wait to return!!!
Disappointing
Absurdly over-priced and over-rated. Michelin stars no longer mean anything to me. We paid almost $800 for a chef's tasting for two with their lower priced wine pairing. The portions were ridiculously small to the point that we didn't feel that we had a complete meal. And the flavor combinations were gratuitously complex and did not complement each other. My husband and I are adventurous foodies -- we appreciate good food. This was a lot of artful presentation that seemed to forget that people also come to have their appetites satisfied. It's obvious their overhead is high and not sure what value all the staff running around added. It was all very pretentious and ultimately underwhelming. But it also must drive their mandatory 23% gratuity added to the bill. So our table service alone was $130 because we opted for the chef's tasting. And the D.C. tax was $70! We don't mind spending a lot of money for an exquisite dining experience, but this was definitely not that. So many better options in the D.C. area. And if your curious still compels you to eat here, don't do the chef's tasting.
Great food, some incredible flavours
Excellent food and wine. The food was creative and bursting with delicious flavour. Congratulations to the chef for such beautifully made food. We thought the service was excellent end to end. We would definitely return. I would say thr one thing that we would love to change is thr noise level. Between 6-8pm the noise level + music made the blast less upscale. Then after 8:30 the crowd died down to nearly half and that was fine. Perhaps they need noise management measures. Otherwise a pretty flawless execution. It’s a hipster/cool/fine dining experience which is less stuffy and feels great if you like fine dining informal, which we enjoyed a lot.
A Good Meal Overwhelmed by Noise
To Celebrate completion of our son's 3 year medical residency at Walter Reed we dined at Bresca. Here is what we found. A nice celebratory note congratulating our Dr on completion of his residency. A waiter with sensibility, and remarkable courteousness. A restaurant so loud one had to yell to be heard, or talk loud to the person 6 inches away, loud, cacophonous rap or hip hop music so intrusive and annoying as to hasten the end of the meal and waiters gallantly, but ultimately failing to explain dishes because they could not be heard. what a waste. As for the food, it came in waves course upon course, ( where the servers tried to explain the ingredients, but might as well have been talking to the wall for their inability to be heard). The starters of seafood/asparagus and leeks en bavarois were inventive and touched with a multitude of subtle flavors. Then came the Salmon reputedly from the Columbia River in the Northwest. The salmon was more sashimi like, though it may have been slightly poached in a sweet bath. it was like by all of our party of 5, but one. The short rib cavatelli was excellent, with plenty of the been and the pasta cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the Australian Wagyu was a miss. The 3-4 ounce serving for most had too much gristle and sinewy tissue such only half could be eaten. a disappointing course. finally the dessert of Japanese Cheesecake was delightful and creative. The wine list was vastly overpriced and limited. Cocktails were apparently gold plated if their cost was a measure of their value. Bresca is a restaurant to which our table will not return: while the food was good, it was not good enough to justify the price; the wine list was priced too aggressively for the value and the noise level turned what should have been a family evening into an event in which the five of us might as well have been in silos, alone and unheard.
Poor value. TERRIBLY NOISY!
I had $118 four course with wine pairing ($85). Wife had $88 three course. Overall: Imaginative food (sometimes). Lots of hit or miss. Very good service. Definitely NOT worth the extremely high cost - $393 for two. Ambience - HORRIBLE!!! Awful garbage "music', mostly rap and other non-relaxing dinner music. MUCH, MUCH TOO LOUD!!!! Could not hear the waiter describing the food. There was second waiter who brough out 3 dishes - his accent did not allow us to understand more than 25% of what he said. We tried asking him again, but could not understand him, and of course the disgusting "music" just made us wince. Food - Snacks (amuse bouche): Two each, -Comte Tart, Ham Choux" - both very good!! Appetizers: Foie gras was odd, Not nearly as good as most I've had - uninspired. Cold scallop soup would have been much better hot. Mains: I had Pacific Halibut - fantastic as first Main Wife had Autumn Olive Pork - the two chops were Fantastic! The loin was good, but not fantastic. My second main was Red Devon Beef - ok, but a Prime ribeye (from Costco) would hav e been better. Dessert: Wife's Japanese cheesecake was innovativ e and very good. My Abrosia was uninspired and not worth more than 3 bites. Last Sweets: 1 per person of an almond cookie - Very good!, Salt Caramel - OK, Turkish jelly - blah. It seemed like most of the food was pre-prepared, such as the cold foie gras, scallop, desserts, and snacks. The only actual cooked food was the halibut, pork, and beef. Poor value, Would not go back again
Ethos cocktails & dinner = the best b-day
Capped off my birthday weekend with an amazing night at Bresca last Sunday. My date and I took part in the Ethos cocktail tasting and since no one else was participating that night, we had Sara (head bartender) all to ourselves. The cocktails were all fantastic - so creative and delicious - and the tasting was so fun. Sara is really knowledgeable and personable, so we really enjoyed interacting with her. It was really a treat for the senses, I'd highly recommend. We also stayed for dinner and had the caviar, cavatelli, and wagyu. All were outstanding, especially the caviar (I'd come again just for that) and the beef. P.S. because it was my b-day they had a little note set up at our seats when we arrived wishing me a happy birthday, it was so sweet! Again, an A++ evening.
Loud
Extraordinarily loud. 4 courses. Appetizers and deserts were good. So loud unable to enjoy. We regularly dine at Michelin star restaurants. Uncertain how they were able to achieve this rating.
Prior to our reservation, they did call to ask about
Prior to our reservation, they did call to ask about allergies, dislikes, and special occasions!There is some street parking and some garages nearby. Jont is located above Bresca. We had the door opened for us and we were greeted and taken upstairs immediately into an intimate room with seats around a kitchen. They take your coat for you if you request it.We were asked for sparkling or still water and offered some champagne. I believe they also offer non-alcoholic sparkling for those who don't drink. There is an tablet with the drink menu for your selections before the meals begin.We did opt for the truffle experience for an extra $150 I think it was. Although it was good and they do give you a fair amount to pair with some dishes, it can be overpowering. I would suggest that if you go with someone, one person opts for the truffle.I did enjoy most of the dishes, some had a lot of flavors that can be a little overwhelming. Everyone was so gracious and nice and service was excellent. You're taken to a lounge area with tables right outside the kitchen area for desserts, coffee or dessert beverages.When we left, they gave us a copy of the menu for the evening and it's when your back downstairs that you get your coat. They also knew that I had a dog and had dog treats for me to take home! It's a great experience to have and we do plan to come back. I was definitely full by the end of the meal but all the desserts were fantastic.
Jônt was kind of like a nice deja vu, as we had been here
Jônt was kind of like a nice deja vu, as we had been here for the chef's tasting at Bresca; Jônt is now utilizing that same space upstairs for their chef's counter seating.The tasting menu has about 32+ items, using seasonal ingredients. What I like about Jônt's menu is that it's Japanese seafood-forward and has that nice Asian flare to each of their dishes.I'm kind of obsessed with their little bites and tartlets - it's the perfect combination of savory!Note that they cannot accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies.Reservations are required on Resy, and they also have special collaborations and wine tasting events. I was so disappointed that I missed out on the Jungsik one as it was sold out quickly!Service is friendly and great, and the vibe is comfortable and relaxed.Definitely a favorite in the D.C. area - great for date nights or for any one who enjoys a clean and tasty menu.Limited metered parking in the area.+offers various collabs and special events - gets sold out quickly!+friendly service+reservations required on Resy+limited metered parking in the area
Hidden away on the top story of another DC restaurant, Jont
Hidden away on the top story of another DC restaurant, Jont offers a not-to-be-missed dining experience. From the moment you walk in to the time you leave, the service is impeccable. There are 32 courses - 16 savory and 16 sweet - with a unique range of flavors and textures. The details were incredible, and writing them all would not do it justice. The 15th and 16th course, the pinnacle, was an aged duck breast with a Japanese bread to absorb the sauce the duck came with. Chef's kiss. One of the most memorable parts though, and just a testament to the level of detail and thought throughout this dining experience, was the Jeni's ice cream that Andrew hand delivered at the end of the night after sneakily asking during the meal if we had ever gone and what our favorite flavors were! The 32 courses were all amazing, unique and delicious in their own ways but this surprise made the most special night even that more special. I hope to have the opportunity to return here.
My fiancé and I had the most amazing experience.
Food, service, and music was excellent. We were 15 mins late due to traffic so it's super important to make sure to show up on time as they serve each dish to everyone around the same time. They were understanding and caught us up with no issues. Food: I loved every single dish but my favorites included the starter with tuna and caviar and the uni on pumpkin chawanmushi, kombucha, and soymilk. Koshiibukin rice had a generous amount of truffle and the duck was perfectly cooked. My favorite of the desserts was kakigori: shaved ice jasmine, strawberry, amazake. Ambience: Sad to see a previous review calling it "rap" when it's actually a mixture of different genres. In my opinion, the playlist was great. I didn't feel like I had to whisper when talking. Service was top tier. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly. They all took great care in everything they did.
If I want to listen to loud rap I go to a night club.
Definitely inappropriate for a Michelin restaurant. The food quality cannot overcome horrible ambiance.
Jont is now the pinnacle of DC dining, both in quality and
Jont is now the pinnacle of DC dining, both in quality and price. Every course was amazing, and the final check was jaw-dropping. I'm not sure we'll be back until we win the lottery, but wow is the food good!
Probably the best meal with the best service I have ever eaten!
For Valentine's Day, Bresca served a very special 5-course meal with champagne and caviar supplements and wine pairings with each course (the supplements and pairings cost extra). The caviar was served with delicious little potato waffles and a rich cream sauce. All of us loved it! The we were served the most delectable little tarts as appetizers. This was followed by small but filling dishes of delicious scallops, swordfish with carrot pieces and raisins in a sauce (or wagyu beef for an extra charge), dried duck in a most delicious dark gravy, a creamy and flavorful linguini with black truffles. And when we didn't think we could eat another bite, the attentive wait staff brought out dishes of madeleines straight from the oven and delicately dusted with confectioner's sugar. They were amazing! last but not least, the staff brought out dishes of four small desserts: caramels, pralines, tiny madeleines of a different flavor, and one other (I can't recall the name of that one). It was a superb, filling, and very enjoyable dinner! Many thanks to the hardworking chefs and wait staff at Bresca! I can't say enough about the wait staff, by the way - they were constantly and subtly topping off our water glasses all night, and were so quick to whisk away empty dishes and bring out new dishes and wines. They described each dish and wine, which we really enjoyed. We look forward to returning! :)
This is not just dinner, this is an experience! Our first
This is not just dinner, this is an experience! Our first official experience of 2023 was at the magical Jônt, and they did not disappoint.Here's a couple of things to keep in mind:It can be expensive, so just be sure to budget ahead of time so you can live your BEST life!It's above/inside of Bresca, so don't worry, you're in the right place if you're there. (We almost got lost lol.)Get the drinks! I promise you, it's worth it. We enjoyed wine pairings as well as cocktails.Engage with the staff! They are absolutely lovely and they really want to make it worth your while, so lean into it.Take a second and enjoy where you are. It's such an intimate space, I felt like I was transported somewhere else! Don't stay on your phone the whole time, just enjoy it.
Came here a while back and had an exceptional meal.
There's definitely some places that are weak 2 stars and even some weak 3 stars. This is very strong 2 star and will be 3 soon enough. Some things needed to be worked out to get there but they'll get there and when they do this will be one of the greatest restaurants in the country.
New Year's Eve Dinner
We have eaten at many fine restaurants in the DMV and around the world. I feel that the meal and experience we had is in the top 5% of any we've had in the world. The apps were delicious. The courses were well timed and represented many tastes. Ingredients were combined/flowed together in a harmonious way with flare that set off little details. Care was taken with the presentation and the staff was friendly and helped fuel the party atmosphere of the holiday. My wife and I have a saying "I'd pay money for it". This was truly an occasion where that "Money" was well worth it. Thank You for a great meal and experience.
I went here a few months ago absolutely the best food I've
I went here a few months ago absolutely the best food I've ever had I think this place is worth taking a trip to dc just for this restaurant I left with a hefty bill and felt every penny was worth it, great customer service and an awesome experience, the food/experience is so good it will make you hate any other restaurant. If you wanna experience Michelin star food this is the place you should go
Jont was delicious.
I was so absolutely full when I left but would definitely go there again (though I may just ask to get the dessert to go next time!). Highly recommend this experience.
Great Dinner!
Bresca impressed us throughout the entire meal. Well worthy of its 1 star, the food and service was impeccable. There are multiple menu options- full tasting (6 courses), and also 3/4 course options, and there are add ons to each. We selected the 3 course, and added their famous duck, as well as the wagyu/caviar tartare. Everything was perfectly done (especially the duck) and the tartare was a highlight, with both caviar and truffle toppings- decadent and amazing. For people who enjoy good wine, pairings can be ordered with any of the menu sets, and there is even an elevated reserve pairing that is well worth it (the staff overall, but especially the Som is really knowledgeable and provided great pairings and education). Overall it's a great meal that should be on your DC list!
Great food but....
the menu although quite limited was superb. The by the glass very short on choice. The big issue is they seem to be more concerned in getting you in and out the door. To us it flet like the proverbial bum's rush. Get them in feed them and out the door.
One of my favorites in DC
Impeccable service and faultless food every time. They take their food seriously enough to refuse to sell me madeleines to go. Pulled a great burgundy vintage for me, humored me in using my own glasses when they did. It's hard to know what to say about a place where every experience is perfect.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Jônt Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Jônt Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Jônt Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Jônt Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
