Customer Reviews
Overall, I enjoyed it here. The best part is the service, lovely people who are clearly invested in creating a good experience. But unfortunately my family's experience was a teeny bit disappointing. There was a mistake with the menus (one had slightly different offerings and no printed upcharges, making us confused), a server switch, and a dietary preference was forgotten. These aren't too big of deals but altogether left us feeling a little wonky. The food was fine but not stellar. Some dishes were quite salty, and I noticed that some components were repeated a ton (mostly the king oyster mushrooms). Again, not a big deal but makes me raise my eyebrow. The dishes were beautiful though, I loved that I could see into the kitchen and the building's ceiling is high and makes it feel roomy. A
I had trouble finding the entrance (it is in the front of the building). We came here for a birthday. It was really cold for many parts of the dinner and I was not super comfortable. The food was amazing. For the amount I paid, however, it was not comparable to some of the other dining experiences I have had in DC/ Baltimore. I ordered the wine tasting and it was forgotten, server was on his own so the busser had to bring out dishes and did not explain what they were. Server was extremely knowledgeable and all the staff were great. It just got a little busy for a bit.
I went here for restaurant week and was not disappointed, despite the typical drop in service and quality. Everything was amazing, especially the desserts! I also love the atmosphere in here. The earthy, industrial vibes were fantastic. I don’t remember everything we ordered and the most memorable part of the meal was how expansive the offerings were. Everything from the bread, to the sashimi, the chicken, and the dessert, were unbelievable. The menu will certainly change by the time you try them, but you definitely should. I can’t wait to go back!
First of all. The atmosphere is amazing! Very well moderated interior design. The drink was great, our service was excellent and absolutely amazing. But we had to be honest, we were slightly disappointed with the food quality. They were not bad, but also not great. I would say they were not well balanced between the spices. We did the 4- courses tasting menu. the tuna sashimi was a bit overly soaked in the sauce, a bit too salty too. The pasta was super sour, it hit really hard and you can barely taste anything else. The Lamb loins were over spiced with the rosemary, if you enjoyed very much then it would be great, if not that’ll be another case. The foam with veggies dish was my top recommendation. Overall, the experience was good, but I was not impressed by the food.
We loved Gravitas. The food was delicious, from the bread to dessert. Dishes were plated beautifully and our waiters explained each dish to us. Great creativity translated to delicious food. The sear on the Salmon was perfect. *Recommendation to add some sign to identify the location*
