Bad Experience And Left Hungry…
Incensed that I paid $100 for a rubbish experience and left hungry! I cannot fathom how this is in the top 50 restaurants. We are rushed in and out of here in 50 minutes by a terrible waiter, who could not answer questions about the menu and told

Taste and presentation is everything...
My niece invited me to the Bottomless Brunch on Saturday. Little did I know what to expect when I got there. Yes, I perused the menu slightly before going. But sometimes, things look different once they are right before you. Since she is a Gen Z (a

Good but overpriced
Couldn’t really fault the food, it was all tasty and fresh. Atmosphere and decor were good. Our server was friendly and professional in contrast to the staff at the reception who were not as helpful as they could have been. It just didn’t seem
Connect with users posting reservations for dLeña Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with dLeña Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to dLeña 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 dLeña 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
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at dLeña 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 PerceptiveWash44 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, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44'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 dLeña 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.
