Rooftop bar located at the hotel Washington. Great views with delicious cocktails and small bites! Attentive personnel with wonderful recommendations. Seemed very popular as it was buzzing on Thursday night! Definitely recommend it if you are in the area! read more

Vue Rooftop - A Stylish Escape Above the City Vue Rooftop at Hotel Washington is the perfect blend of upscale lounge and stunning skyline views. Perched high above the city, this spot delivers an atmosphere that's effortlessly cool -- think chic decor, a vibrant yet relaxed vibe, and panoramic scenes that truly steal the show. The menu may be on the smaller side, but every dish is thoughtfully crafted and absolutely delicious. Quality over quantity really shines here. Our server was warm, attentive, and offered spot-on recommendations that made the experience even more memorable. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the mood shifted into something sleek and intimate -- almost too much so. The lighting was a bit too dim to fully enjoy the presentation of the food, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The bar area is beautifully decorated, adding to the luxe yet laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're out for a date night or entertaining guests from out of town, Vue delivers on every level. read more

We didn't eat, but drinks were good, and it's a great spot for a view of the city. Definitely tight in the bar, and you have to be a bit aggressive to grab a seat, but worth it. read more

I knew I wanted a meal with a view for my first night in DC and Vue did not disappoint! Overlooking the white house - sunset views from the Washington rooftop was stunning. The food was also delicious- the branzino was perfectly cooked and topped beautifully. The cocktails are unique and tasteful matching the overall ambiance. Service was great and accommodating to my requests which is always appreciated. Would absolutely return. read more

View is great from the top floor of the Washington Hotel. Service is accommodating, kind and professional. Seafood Linguine is served hot, fast and delicious. Each ingredient has a special flavor and texture of freshness...you will want to soak up every single bite and savory morsel or sauce. Really good!!! Parking is not great in this area. The vibes are really nice up on the top. read more

Upon making reservations at VUE,we where assured there is an air conditioned room on that level. There wasn't! Record heat that day,it seemed like a lot of people bailed,because of the heat.Some had dinner reservations and left after one drink. Dining there was pure misery. It is a beautiful space,we had wonderful service,the food was excellent. The experience was less than stellar,because of so many potential diners and people who left for some reason milling around the bar,the elevators,the restrooms. Hotel lobby to the rescue,quiet and blessedly cold. read more

Love the VuE! Been there a few times now and it's not only convenient but also the service is great and the vibes/view do not disappoint. They are flexible and accommodated our very large party so that everyone was having fun and it was ez to manage even tho we weren't technically seated together. However... be prepared to shell out all of your doll hairs. Totally worth it for us. read more

We came here for our unofficial alumni holiday after party last weekend. I hadn't been here in so long! Still great vibes! Definitely overpriced but this is a DC staple afterall. The views are a lil different (IYKYK). Drinks were good and service was great! read more

Came here for lunch with a couple of friends. The view was nice and service was good, but the food left much to be desired. I got the burger with a side salad and felt that it lacked adequate seasoning and taste. My friend got the Omelette and thought it was just okay and too cheesy. For the price, you could definitely find better food elsewhere in the city. read more

Visited here on a Saturday a couple of months ago on a sunny and beautiful day. The view and service are hands down really great and beautiful. The food on the other hand was fine, nothing extraordinary. We got the avocado toast, chicken and waffles, vue Benedict with crab cakes, the chicken sandwich, and the sky high breakfast. The avocado toast was the highlight, chicken sandwich, and sky high breakfast were good! The chicken and waffles don't have too much flavor. read more

The view was the best part of the restaurant I chose the vue as the nice night out on the town meal with our friends while we were in town. We all felt the menu would be appreciated and booked at sunset (2 weeks out which is pretty nice) Upon arrival the hostess was attentive and brought up promptly to the table, we were seated indoors with a great view of the monument, so far so good and I'm happy The dress code was buisness casual and I'd say everyone kept the part, the decor was nice and the ambiance was good for casual conversation. The build up is there in this review and the major area this place failed us was the service...we waited 15-20 min to be seen, another 15 til drinks arrived. We felt like we had to order ahead the rest of the time to get what we wanted in the future...not a great feeling. I ordered an old fashioned as my go to and it was prepared well. My macallan neat came in a dirty glass....you'd think they'd pay more attention to detail. The short rib wasn't bad, most likely better than I remember it but because the whole experience was terrible I just can't have much else nice to say. The only thing that came in prompt time was the check. Maybe it was an off night for them but it was a one and done for us. I apologized to my friends for it being the pick of the night. I sincerely hope they read this and make some adjustments in the near future read more

Vue is one of my favorite DV bars for a quick drink with a stellar view. You pay a premium for drinks here, but they are made well! I find one drink is enough for the sunset views and people watching, but if you don't have a budget, get a table and enjoy for longer! read more

VUE rooftop is situated in the Hotel Washington. The hotel has been renovated and is upscale. We made reservations for 5:30pm on a Saturday to ensure that we had seating for five with a view. The view does not disappoint as you can see the White House, The Treasury Building, as well as other major buildings and memorials from the rooftop. Be prepared to pay premium price for this. Specialty drinks are $30 each and the menu is limited. 20% service fee is added to the check. We ordered 3 drinks, one Shirley temple and regular water. The bill was over $120. Service was good. A little pushy as they want to turn the table if you are not ordering food. It was a good experience but we would not be back. read more

Would give a 4.5. TLDR: nice experience, food overpriced for the quality but a good one time trip, don't know that i'd be back too often. Came here for a birthday, beautiful views. Food was a little hit or miss, you are def paying a bit for the view. Cocktail: 10/10 so good so yummy - it did set me back $24 which is a bit insane Apps: 8/10 Vue scallops: i'm not a personal fan of the caviar they had but the scallops were nicely cooked and the sauce was yummy too. Peruvian ceviche: i think they use squid ink which is a little scary if you're wearing a nice outfit or lipstick, but it was good overall. the sweet potatoes were a good touch. Entree: Broccolini Caesar & burrata/peach salad (i don't see it on their menu anymore): honestly nothing too special i liked the appetizers more. Dessert + service: We got chocolate cake with ice cream - so good! our waiter was sweet and took pictures for us as well. read more

Came here for a view and a quick bite. The service was alright, they weren't super busy but they weren't well informed on the drink menu. When asked I was told it was because they just switched out the menu, which is fair. There was plenty of bar seating and there was also some regular seats, but you have to make a reservation for those. The views were nice, you can kinda see the White House and the Washington Monument. The drinks were actually really good! I ordered the It's Not A Phase Mom and the truffle fries both were great!! I would order both again. The drink wasn't overly sweet it was a light refreshing crisp balanced drink. But in a smaller glass (if you want a little more get something else). read more

We went to this place to celebrate our friend's birthday. It was my first time there, and when I arrived and saw the view from the top, I loved it. I got to see the Washington Monument and the White House, and it was a very picturesque view. I loved it. This place has two sections: one with a bar and a sitting area, and the other with a bar and a dance floor. Now, let's talk about the drinks. I tried "My Flower, My Nectar" and "Is This Still a Trend?", as well as "Power to the Peaches". "My Flower, My Nectar" is on the sweeter side. "Is This Still a Trend?" is an espresso martini with whipped cream. My favorite was "Power to the Peaches" - it was very refreshing and easy to drink. I have to say, the drinks are a little bit overpriced, but I guess that's typical for DC. I would recommend this place for the view to anyone who's visiting DC. read more

Title: A Complete Birthday Disaster -- Misleading, Mismanaged, and a Total Rip-Off I have never written a bad review in my life. There is a first for everything! This was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. I flew in from Cleveland specifically for this night -- spending my own money and time -- all because Vu Rooftop Bar's website blatantly advertised "prime access to the action" for the historic U.S. Army 250th parade and fireworks. I even called multiple times before buying two overpriced tickets ($55 each) just to confirm what was promised online: parade views, rooftop access, the whole experience. What did I actually get? Chaos, confusion, and zero parade. We arrived early, hoping to get settled and enjoy the spectacle. Instead, we walked around only to discover there was absolutely NO vantage point anywhere to see the parade. When I questioned the staff, they brushed me off -- telling me flat out, "Oh, you can't see the parade, just the fireworks." I literally pulled up THEIR OWN WEBSITE on my phone and showed it to the employee. She shrugged and said, "No, it doesn't say that." It absolutely does. I copied it word for word: "Join us in the heart of D.C. on June 14 as the city honors 250 years of the U.S. Army with a historic military parade featuring thousands of soldiers, tanks, flyovers, and more... rooftop views, and prime access to the action." Blatant false advertising. After paying for an overpriced, underwhelming meal, we were told we only had 90 minutes at the table before being rudely kicked out because "someone else is waiting." Where exactly were we supposed to go? "You can stand over there, and maybe the private room will open soon," they said. That room didn't open until 7:45 PM -- well after the parade ended -- because, surprise! There was a private wedding party occupying it for the entire parade time. Meanwhile, the staff had no clue what was going on. We asked multiple people what the plan was, and they either shrugged or gave conflicting answers. The whole event was a mess: bars closed when we arrived, no management in sight, painfully slow service, and not a single apology for wasting our money and my birthday. Other guests were equally furious -- everyone I spoke with felt duped by the same misleading marketing. This experience was insulting from start to finish. I spent $110 plus food and drink for the privilege of being misled, rushed out of a seat, and treated like an inconvenience. Vu Rooftop Bar, you owe me -- and every guest you scammed that night -- a sincere apology and a refund. Until then, this review stays right here as a warning: Don't trust the hype. They will overpromise, underdeliver, and not care one bit when they ruin your special occasion. read more

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious! Wish the seafood tower was more for the price though. However the house special short rib was a good amount! It was DEFINITELY A CENTERPIECE! We also ordered the branzino; it was delicate so we opted to dip in the sauce instead of pouring over the entire fish. We also ordered burrata and jerk peach salad; also delicious but on the heavier side. We were hoping for something more light and sour to break up the heaviness of the short ribs. All in all the food was delicious. The atmosphere was also very nice worth the wait for a reservation. We did come while the White House was under reconstruction but we could only imagine if it wasn't! It would've been perfect! read more

Great view of Washington monument and the White House! I'd recommend making a reservation, we went on a Monday and made one day of, but can imagine it's busier on weekends and in spring/summer. We got mixed drinks and the ceviche. The ceviche was incredible, would definitely order again! read more

Average food, but an amazing view of the Mall, White House and memorials. But beware, you are gonna pay dearly for that view. Even water is an upcharge. Our food was good, but not $700 good.
