    Chicken and waffles
    Nina W.

    Loved the food and service here! Food is pricey, but I anticipated that due to it being at the Ritz Carlton. I enjoyed the juices (carrot ginger and pineapple kale) as well as all the food we ordered. The chicken and waffles were cooked well and the chicken had lots of flavor. The eggs benedict with Maine lobster was definitely the standout dish for me. Service was very friendly and attentive. Parking is a pain since it's a paid garage. As much as I did enjoy my experience, I don't think it's worth it unless you are already in the general area (either staying at the hotel or shopping at the galleria).

    This is the one and only bar/restaurant in the hotel and thank goodness it's a very good one! We only had breakfast and it was very good. Try the frittata it was very taste and a great breakfast dish. It can be very pricey but if you don't order everything it's a great place to treat yourself! The service was very friendly and did a great job in making recommendations and making you feel special. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance from the furniture to the dishes. It's a great place to enjoy a meal.

    When I want to getaway but don't want to go too far, I staycation at the Ritz. I'm typically doing Spa day the following day, so for dinner, I just come down and enjoy Entyse. It beats the hustle and bustle of the Tysons area. Service is refined. Ambiance is giving wealth, luxury, and private. The food is always cooked with the finest ingredients. They have the BEST Crème brûlée! The bar menu always has options that the regular menu doesn't so make sure to look. Overall, I recommend. Aways my go-to! Cheers

    This is typical hotel food. It's not good, but it's also not bad. It's just conveniently located in the hotel lobby. Every time we come, there's an issue because we're a big party. Usually we have from 8 to 10 people with us. The problem is seating. They always want us to sit on the high tables instead of the low rectangular tables. And if we come during close to tea time, a big section of the restaurant will be closed out. You can't go wrong with the truffle fries and the lobster Benedict! The staff always judge me when I order the Benedict because I ask for it without veggies. I'm not a veggie eater, and I've had it before, but the staff always say it won't be good, but I know my tastebuds and it's fine for me. Now mind you, I just ask for it without the dill, onions, and peppers.

    Maine Lobster Benedict

    I have been wanting to experience the afternoon tea here for a while, but haven't been lucky with the reservation. But it was nice to have a brunch on Black Friday. Love the menu and it has all the brunch favorites and more. I went with a cappuccino and Maine lobster Benedict. I also wanted 1 pancake, so the server suggested getting a kids stack. Well the cappuccino was on point. I have to specially mention the Lobster Benedict - so good!!! There were big chunks of lobster ( pleasantly surprised!). The sauce was very nice. Lovely pancakes. And the best part is that it comes with "warm" maple syrup. It makes all the difference! The round butter - so cute :) The ambience is soothing. The servers were extra nice and made sure I was taken care of.

    Had the best Maryland crab cake on breakfast menu! It's a must have. 5-Star service and interior ambiance. Came back to the hotel at closing time last night and the Manager kind enough to let me have room service meal ( Ritz-Carlton burger) at the Bar! Ritz-Carlton Experience is as superb as my Ritz-Carlton Experience in Marina Bay, Singapore

    I visit Entyse once every few months, and it never disappoints. Great ambience, the cocktails are exceptional, each crafted with precision and creativity. The food is equally impressive, offering a delightful range of flavors that perfectly complement the drinks. The service is excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. I've attached a picture of one dessert that I really liked, but unfortunately, they took it off the menu ( please bring it back;) Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great cocktails, delicious food, and outstanding service!

    You wouldn't think a meal that started off by getting frisked by the Secret Service would end up being that great, but that just goes to show you. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here for dinner the Saturday before the Inauguration. Our Airbnb happened to be in this area, which at first glance seemed pretty desolate and geared toward weekday office traffic more so than a hopping night scene, but it turned out to have a few decent eating options. This one was located in the Ritz (literally), a 10-minute walk for us. It was pretty easy to find though it WAS odd to have to take our coats off and walk through a metal detector. We never found out who was staying there who required the SS presence, but Trump was having an event nearby so it literally could have been anyone other than Hillary Clinton. It will remain a mystery. Every adjective you're thinking of regarding a potential restaurant in the Ritz? You're right. Picture those. Very high end, very bougie. We weren't wearing sweats but were probably underdressed. It seemed though like there were a lot of other out-of-towners dressed in jeans and decent tops so no issues there. It was pretty busy when we got in (definitely a later dinner for me but I'm guessing it was 8ish? Perilously close to my bedtime) though we were almost immediately seated at a table off to the right of the entrance. We didn't have much of a view of the bar area but it seemed pretty raucous. Maybe the mystery Secret Service party was there? Alright. Moving on. We went hardcore with the cocktail selection and both got the Port of Angel's Envy ($38; I know, I know), which ended up being an upper class spin on an Old Fashioned. Absolutely delicious - they nailed it. One big takeaway from this weekend is that Angel's Envy might be my go-to bourbon going forward; it's very smooth and the variations I had over the course of the weekend ended up being fruit-forward, which I like on a personal palate level. I'm having trouble coming up with another scenario where I would readily go, 'Yes, of course I'll have another $38 cocktail,' but that happened here. Huge, huge fan and it was a special occasion so I didn't lose any sleep over this. Guess what else was fantastic? Literally everything else. We split the Grilled Octopus app ($25), which came with lightly fried tostones. Honestly the best octopus I've ever had. Super flavorful and this is a food I think where texture ends up being very important. It was cooked perfectly and not rubbery in the slightest. Entree-wise, if I hadn't accidentally had short ribs the night before that's probably what I would have ended up getting. Everything happens for a reason though and I opted for the Venison ($54). Also the best venison I've ever had. I don't think a lot of places really know what to do with it since it's JUST different enough from beef where you can't cook/prepare it the same way so I usually end up eating it in stick form where they can't mess around with it too much. This was awesome though. You can see from the accompanying picture that it was cooked close to rare, and that was for sure the right call - made it juicier and tastier. Deer never get high class treatment like this and frankly I'm not sure they deserve it. My chum got the Pan Seared Diver Scallops ($49), a dish she's gotten quite a few times in my presence. This was the first instance where she did so and gave universal acclaim. I tried one and was honestly blown away. Scallops are pretty hit or miss for me but these were great and very fresh. The service was perfect from beginning to end. I think our waiter comped one of our bottles of water, which was nice, and was around pretty consistently but not overwhelmingly so. It was a busy night and he struck the right balance there. You can't ask for more than that. This wasn't cheap by any means but I don't think anyone is going to be shocked to hear that when you're wandering into the Ritz. We were both enormously impressed by every part of this experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. MAYbe I hit the ATM first though.

    Found this on a whim, its inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. What was nice about it that it stays open to midnight. You can smell the money and boardroom politics in here so get one of those swanky booths. The surprise food dish was the mixed charcuterie board. The red pepper sauce, Win!, the hummus with chick peas, Win!..MVP of the night goes to a the pickled veggies dish. Drunkin Noodles Report - no specials to talk about, it was a Yengling night.

    This is bar/restaurant is located in the Ritz Carlton. We were there for the night after seeing family. We were tired, so went down to ENTYSE for dinner. It was a Saturday night, so pretty busy and they had live music. We were seated immediately. Our drink orders were taken quickly, and then the server brought almonds, olives, bread and butter. All good. Drink prices were high - hotels always are so cocktails ranged $18-20. However the food prices were quite reasonable and the food was good! We had the lobster fusilli for dinner and really enjoyed it! The flavors were on point and merged together and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Good amount of fresh lobster meat. LOBSTER FUSILI PASTA $25 - Fusilli pasta, Maine lobster, Rapini, chili, tomatoes, fresh parsley. Service was very good. Water was refiled as needed and they check on you throughout to see if all is well. Very convenient as well. It is a small menu, but what they have is good. We will definitely come here again the next time we are in VA!

    Whether it's high tea or a meal, ENTYSE is a fun place to be! My fiancé and I have been here for dinner: They start you with almonds, olives, bread, and butter. I always get the grilled octopus 11/10 They have good, but pricey American sushi nights 8/10 Also, sometimes they have live music and it's so fun! The chocolate molten lava cake is the best dessert! High Tea is also such a fun experience! Love the sandwiches except the mushroom Great food, great ambiance, and great attentive service! Will be back again! Love and will be back!

We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with. The service was so attentive. The vibes were really nice and not overly fancy. My family and I thought it was one of the best Turkish/middle eastern meals we've had in a while (and we thought this was much better than Zaytinya). Overall I cannot wait to return.

    Delicious Indian restaurant - great happy hour and brunch spot!…read more The happy hour from 4pm-7pm Monday-Fri is an amazing deal. I ordered 2 dishes and a cocktail for under $20! I requested for the Paneer Tikka Flatbread (not on the menu)- vegetarian version of the Chicken Paneer Tikka Flatbread. The naan pizza was delicious, it was stuffed with cubes of paneer with a side of Tikki Masala dipping sauce. Highly recommend it! You can get the Paneer Pizza next door too! The Paneer Tacos were filling and fun to try, but large chunky blocks of paneer. While I enjoyed the spicy mayo sauce, I wish the paneer was cut up into cubes. It just felt a bit heavy with the paneer. The Spinach Artichoke Fritters (4) were tasty. The Mango Mojito and the Mumbai Mule cocktail weren't that good, but it honestly it's hard to complain when it's only $6/drink. The unlimited weekend brunch at $38 is a great deal and well worth it! You can choose from over a dozen Indian fusion dishe - as a bonus mango lassi, chai, and soft drinks are included! You can order 2 dishes/person at a time and the servers hastily swing by to clear your plates and place your next order! Between the 3 of us, we ordered almost conquered the full brunch menu and had a delightful brunch feast! The food had a spicy kick, but not overpowering and wasn't greasy. The portions range from small, bite-size apps to full, large entree size. There's a lot of vegetarian dishes on the menu with a few non-veg as well. There's a good balance between traditional Indian dishes and Western fusion with a hint of American flavors/presentation. My favorite stand-outs: - Aam Chat Papri with crispy Papri pita like chips with mango, chick peas, and potatoes smothered in yogurt and chutney, and topped with spicy garam masala mix - Chana Bhatura with chick pea curry and fluffy, bubbly fried bread. Large portion. - Spinach and Artichoke Fritters - Crispy bite-size balls filled with creamy spinach artichoke dip, 4 come in an order and perfect for sharing! - Aloo Bravas - Crispy, diced potatoes very reminiscent of the Spanish Patatas Bravas with aioli sauce and mild masala spicy kick - Butter Chicken - My friend enjoyed it, solid full entree size. I didn't order or try it in, but it looked pretty tasty and could easily why she made a happy empty plate! - Nutella Bread Pakora - Tastes like a bites-size Nutella fried donut! So good we ordered another one! - Helluva Hallawa Trio - I enjoyed sampling the 3 types of Hallawa, ranging in savory (carrot) to more sweet and milky (my favorite). - Mango Lassi - The sweetness of the mango lassi helped to balance out and absorb the spiciness of the food. - Masala Chai - Great ending to a meal, perfectG caffeine pick me up! Paired well with the Nutella bread Pakora. The other dishes on the menu were fun to try, but would probably skip and save room for my faves: - Aloo Sabzi and Katchuri - The dense hollow shell katchuri (similar to a round empanada) made of dhal lentil smothered in Aloo potato curry sabzi was very filling and dense. After a couple of bites, I threw in the towel. - Egg Burgi and Paratha - The masala spicy scrambled egg on paratha flatbread was kind of bland and a very small portion. - Mango Mimosa - While the mimosas were only $4, it was quite tangy and didn't pair well with the meal. I wish fresh mango juice was used instead of mango flavored juice (tastes like Izzy). The lunch buffet (Mon - Fri 12pm - 2:30pm for $23 wasn't the best experience. Admittedly, I came to the buffet at 1:30pm and the food was tepid and sadly overcooked under the heat lamp. The plates were very small and it was hard to fit a bunch of food. I went to the buffet at least 3 or 4 times to try out the dishes in search of the perfect bite, which I sadly couldn't. There were 5 main standard dishes with 3 vegetarian dishes (Dal Makhani, Aloo Ghobi, and Mehti Paneer) and 2 non-veg featuring both chicken dishes (Butter Chicken and Chicken Curry) and a galore of fried fritters/pakoras (spinach, onion, potato) with a couple of new rotating stations with Pani Puri (not much going on) and Spinach Tikki and Fish Pakora fried fritters. The Mehti Paneer was quite greasy with a coat of grease at the top and the paneer was pretty stiff. It wasn't tender. The Dal Makhani was bland. The potato aloo potatoes were brittle as they were sitting under the heat lamp too long. The best part about the meal was the fluffy naan, which was made-to-order. I enjoyed 2 rounds! Order the Masala Dosa crispy! When we got it the 1st time on the lunch special, it was a bit rubbery and soggy. After the server asked us a few times whether we liked it, my hubby relented and told him the honest answer. The server got the dosa re-made to go extra crispy, which did the trick! The masala potatoes paired well with the dosa. I wasn't a fan of the Sambar. Based on the glowing brunch and happy hour experience, I would come back to try the lunch buffet with an early start right when it opens!

I figured I'd like masala lemonade, and hadn't seen it on a menu before, the server cautioned me and offered a sample before I order it. sorry to say ew yuck but we tried it respectfully.

It was something I'd never heard of and looked like it had Angel hair pasta, arugula, and the chicken looked interesting. It looked fried, but not in a typical way.

Whole dish seems underwhelming and had a lack of bonding sauce or flavor profile to make it a dish. Second time I had Salmon salad and this was not good at all. Salmon itself was perfectly cooked as a medium rare on my liking and champagne dressing in mixed greens was good. But I salad had cold and slimy potato pieces and big chunks of blackish marinated onions,it was hard to eat and even unpleasant. I'm really disappointed,because Thai shrimp salad was absolutely best salad in DC area as well as other very popular dishes from old menu. Please bring back Thai Shrimp!!

I was clear in that i just wanted an after work chill happy hour. I booked for 4:30. After promptly showing up at the wren for my 4:30 appointment I was told, Naisho room doesn't open until 5 pm.... So why did you let me book for 4:30?!?! No explanation. No apology just "you're early..." 2. I promptly dropped $70 for drinks and an appetizer at the Wren bar to hold me and my guests over. It wasn't bad but that's not what I was hoping for... at 4:30. 3. The service to the speakeasy was great. The "gym stag" had our 4:30 and let us in at... 5:03 pm... 4. The waitress inside the speakeasy was super awkward and off putting. She really needs a class on etiquette. I ordered quite a bit right off the bat but my guests slow roll throughout the experience and she didn't seem too happy with that. Taking away our menus doesn't encourage us to order either. You charge $22 for one tea sandwhich but can't afford to print out more menus? The menus were also pretty dingy and I hand sanitized after using them. 5. Food. Was mid at best. Not at all authentic Japanese. I had the oyster shooter, temaki, Wagyu toast, Wagyu quesadilla, and mocktail. The oyster shooter was too sweet. And you could only taste the oyster and caviar at the end. Mostly as an aftertaste. There was a "too sweet" aspect to most of the food. The temaki was okay and I liked the crunchy bits but they went too far with the plastic wrap on the seaweed. The plastic wrap gave me Japanese 7-11 onigiri vibes. You do that if you aren't efficient enough to get the food out to guests at once and the seaweed will get soggy. I'm not sure if it was for a "fun factor" for people who are unfamiliar with grocery store onigiri in Asia but in a restaurant it should be done for you. The Wagyu toast was a HUGE disappointment. It was Sooooo sweet. I filet barely taste anything except the gross, sweet jam. And the toast was soggy and the texture of the bread felt prepared the day before and like refrigerator. It was not toasted at all. The star was the Wagyu quesadilla with beef tendon chips. It was the cheapest item on the menu and the most filling and delicious. 6. Drinks were very good. Expect about $20 a pop... $50 for the Japanese whiskey is highway robbery. Nothing really "rare." I have most bottles on the kitchen counter from the Virginia ABc or DC Costco. You can buy an entire bottle of the Japanese whiskey at Costco for the cost of one serving here. Overall, the Naisho room felt like all hype. For over $100 I was still pretty hungry. If the food tasted good I would have ordered more but I didn't think it was worth it. You get a nice view but it's the same from most of the capital one building. Same view from the brewery. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere. Plenty of better happy hour spots for much much less considering if you stay for more than two hours you have to pay for parking (we did becuase, well, our reservation was at 4:30...)

    My boyfriend and I have honestly turned this into one of our favorite date night spots, and I…read morerecently came here for my birthday. Every time we come, the experience is always really good. The staff was amazing, our server was super nice, and I genuinely enjoyed my whole night here. Everything we ordered was delicious. One of my favorite things here is the seafood fried rice, or whatever the exact name is lol, but it is SO good every single time. I also tried some steak this time and for somebody who really doesn't even eat steak like that, it was actually really good. And the crème brûlée? Top tier. Definitely one of my favorite desserts there. The atmosphere is always nice for a date night, birthday dinner, or just wanting to go somewhere that feels a little more upscale without being uncomfortable. I'll absolutely be back again. Also, if you've never been before, the restaurant is on the second floor and there is garage parking available, which is nice.

    I went recently to try the every day happy hour, and I enjoyed most of the items I ordered although…read moreI would recommend skipping the wagyu dumplings and the lemon tart. First, the au gratin potatoes were tasty and even better when I reheated them the next day. The dumplings first came out cold, and when they were replaced, they didn't have much flavor. I ordered the lemon tart to take home, and I really wish I hadn't. It lacked flavor, and the crust was not crisp. I was very disappointed. Service at the bar was a little hit or miss. The bartenders were very busy, and the waiters would walk by, avoiding any eye contact. Also, the host needs tips on greeting guests. Instead of asking how he could help us or if we had a reservation, he just stated that they were booked all weekend. During our time at the bar, only half of the tables filled up.

    I never usually leave reviews but I feel this is necessary. My fiancé was craving pizza so we…read morestopped and discovered this pace next door. The waitress was wonderful and allowed us to eat outside as long as we also purchased food from their menu. Sure no problem I'll take the $10 olives....even though we planned on ordering a bottle of wine. The service was lovely, wine was delish, olives were olives. EXCEPT when the check comes and there is a $20 dollar open bottle fee that was never told To you. When we asked they simply said well it's on our menu. So our $30 bottle of wine now cost us $50. What a freaking rip off. This should be reiterated by the waitress when ordering to ensure customers are aware. I had just said to my fiancé that I will definitely come back... however after that shit no way. I'll go buy a bottle from the store next time and eat my damn pizza at home. Bad business motto for sure.. no wonder we were the only ones in there.

The owner Zhanna has so much knowledgeable to share about all the wines her shop/wine bar carries. The food is amazing and the menu choices are perfect. Their cheese board with all the locally sourced cheeses comes with flash cards that describe every cheese on the plate and its whereabouts. I have never seen anyone else do this at any restaurant before, I have learnt so much about American cheese. Avocado toast and lamb shack are some of my other favorites! Overall awesome spot! I love coming back again and again)
