My GF loved the menu selection, the food came out hot, and the flavor and quality was great. The Ambience I would give a solid 4. The setting is very nice, it's not extremely dark like some restaurant when it comes to the cozy intimate feel but I would say the lighting is respectable and it's a great overall size wall to wall. There weren't too many people there, which was nice. About 2-3 other groups were celebrating different occasions in the dinning area and also people at the high tables and bar. Valet for the Ritz Carlton was complementary so parking was no issue. Both our server Dino and the young lady that was our host, were great and attentive to our needs for the evening. Thank you again!

The food was great; the service was engaging and eager to provide good service. The restaurant is in a Westin Hotel. Unlike other Westin's we have been to, this Westin charges $50 to park your car for more than two hours; about $28 to park 0-2 hours. The other Westin locations we have been validate the parking for patrons who eat at their restaurant. This location did not. This was not made clear before I entered the property. The management at Westin needs to understand that an otherwise enjoyable afternoon can be ruined by excessive parking fees. This can't be good for business; not mine anyway.

We had the chicken karage and pork XLB to start. We were too polite to fight over the four small dumplings but chopsticks certainly clashed in the karage bowl - luckily the portion for that was large enough that even my cantankerous husband declared he could have been happy with that alone. For the main I had the garlic noodles with shrimp, and oh my gosh. Think of the scene from Ratatouille (yes that one) only with buttered noodles. This dish perfectly evokes comfort-food coziness while somehow also displaying complexity and class. Delicious. The cocktails are unique but passable. I had the nimbus cloud, an interesting mix of ingredients that earns the highly coveted designation of "not too sweet." Aforementioned cantankerous husband declared his old fashioned "the worst he has ever received in his life." Though probably his fault for not choosing something from the extensive menu. The new space in Crystal City is a nice vibe with a Paris streaterie/speakeasy feel, but watch your step in the alley as it's fully open to cars and therefore always steps away from chaos. We sat indoors and had a hard time hearing each other over the loud space (who doesn't love shouting WHAT? directly in your dining companions' ears through a mouthful of garlic noodles?) but honestly, once the food arrived we sort of forgot each other existed for a time. I'll be back for sure, don't judge the solo diner in the corner with enough garlic noodles to feed a family of four.

The vibes were pretty fun, so I ended up drinking at the bar. Their $10 martini happy hour is insane! I got a pornstar martini and a truffle popcorn. OMG. Best pornstar martini I have had in my life, plus really cure glassware. The truffle popcorn was unbelievable and had fresh parmesan on it. YUM. I also tried the femme fatale and it was acidic and fruity and fantastic. I ended up also getting an espresso martini another night and it was iconic. Jay was my waiter and he is one of the best bartenders on this earth. He made drinks quickly, made sure everyone was having fun, and kept the vibes wonderful. He was absolutely amazing and was a big part of the reason I came back a second night in a row. His positivity and expert cocktail making skills make him the IDEAL bartender.

One of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The drinks are pre-batched, so keep in mind they can't be customized. I also loved that this place feels a little tucked away, like a hidden gem. It's connected to a hotel on the other side of the block. It was crowded on a Tuesday night so you need reservations.

Christopher Chapman and I had a personal relationship that ended approximately two years ago, and I had not patronized this bar in roughly two years. When I visited on September 19, I did not speak to Christopher, order from him, or cause any disturbance. I later returned with friends on a night Christopher wasn't even working and was denied entry. When questioned, Christopher explicitly told me, "Your friends are allowed. You aren't." He then accused me of using my passport to "sneak in," which simply did not happen. If there is a legitimate conduct-based reason for banning me, one has never been provided. Instead, I am apparently being singled out because of a personal relationship that ended years ago. It is deeply concerning to see a personal grievance carried out through a public-facing business--especially against a woman who is simply minding her business, peacefully enjoying an evening with friends, and making no attempt to interact with him. Prospective customers can decide for themselves what they think of that.
