This review is long over due.
Hubby and I had a date night here and were very excited about it! We had been to "La Cosecha" (the Latin marketplace next door) a few times but had never realized El Cielo was right next door. La Cosecha has a great Latin vibe and great eats so we were eager to be blown away by El Cielo. I'm all about first impressions and details-- specially when it comes to high end restaurants or Michelin restaurants, I believe the focus should be on creating an unforgettable experience for all the senses, not just taste. So upon entering El cielo I was pretty underwhelmed by the aesthetics and ambiance of the place, it looks like every other modern cafe with not much attention to detail, specially for it being a Latin restaurant, they could have done a better job at transporting you to vibrant Colombia with the design. The bathroom looked like it belonged in a "hole in the wall" restaurant, not a Michelin one, so I was highly disappointed. But that was only the first impression, I was eager to try the food and be blown away... And unfortunately we weren't. The presentation of the food was the best thing out of everything- they have done a great job at creating beautiful plates. But for the most part the dishes were forgettable. Nothing was amazing or tasted like something we had never eaten before. Service was decent. Overall we had a nice evening.

Amazing service, food, and experience! Without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in DC.
Be the first to ReplyBest dining experience I've ever had.
Loved the chocolate hand bath and coffee experience that made you feel like you were sipping coffee in cloudy Columbian Mountains. Food was superb and so interesting
Be the first to Reply4 stars for a pretty solid Columbian restaurant experience.
We were looking to grab a nice dinner one evening and (after getting through the website's annoying popup on every page) saw that El Cielo had some availability for the Chef Choice option. I booked us for 9pm (which the restaurant called soon after and moved us back to 8pm), and we soon after headed over to the Union Market location. We arrived at the venue to find a very nice dining area with tall ceilings, a bar in the back, and generally solid decorating. Per my friend who previously dined at the venue, the ala carte and Chef Choice option are in the front of the restaurant, while the The Experience 20 course option and bathrooms are in the back area of the restaurant. We took our seats and our waiter came over to take our order. He was generally fairly pleasant and provided us with solid service throughout the night. He handled and/or explained most of the dishes either by himself or with the assistance of the chef or an assistant. In terms of the dining, we started off with cocktails (which were good) and a spring blossom sorbet, which was a nice start. We then moved on fairly quickly to the truffle bunuelo and tuna, peanut, and yuzu dishes, which were each quite solid. Next, we underwent the "chocotherapy" part of the dining, which essentially involves washing your hands in some chocolate. A little weird, but I guess it was a nice activity to try out. Soon after finishing our chocotherapy, we received our tree of life, corn broth, and shrimp aji. In terms of the tree of life, which included several dips and an awesome bread style tree, it made for a great snack for all of us to share and admire. in terms of the corn broth and shrimp aji, the former wasn't really that great while the latter was quite tasty and memorable. The main issue that we ran into for this meal (and thus the reason for the paragraph separation in this review) was timing. It took quite a while for our next dish (the bison) to come out. The bison was served by the chef and was quite good, so we were ok with the wait at that point. We then again waited a pretty long amount of time for the dessert dish (the cholao). However, the dessert was quite good and probably one of my favorite dishes of the meal, so we again were ok with the wait. We then waited about 20-30 more minutes for the final "dish" in the tasting, which were rose petals that essentially were moisturizer for our hands. The check took another 10-15 minutes, making the last 4 courses of the tasting take more than half our 3 and 1/2 hour time at the venue. My guess is that the timing was thrown off due to coordination with The Experience, but other reviews show that this is a problem that the venue really needs to consider fixing. Overall, El Cielo provided us with a pretty solid meal. The venue, service, and food overcame the timing issue for the most part.

I dream of the food when I'm not eating it. The service is immaculate. The plating is creative. 100/100 stars.
Be the first to ReplyI'm writing this immediately in the car after my 4th visit.
I never write reviews but they continue to innovate every time I've dined there. This is the embodiment of how every country should hope to have their cuisine represented. They have consistent 3-Michelin level service with immaculate presentation for each course. The 22-course menu is honestly an insane value because of how unbelievably full you will be walking out. The 10-course is a perfect balance that goes toe to toe with any other menu at that price point in DC. You will not be disappointed leaving, you will just be excited to plan another trip back.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic experience, service was above and beyond, from
Fantastic experience, service was above and beyond, from booking and accommodating our changes, to the last course. The food was spectacular. Would definitely recommend. We went on a Wednesday for the short experience and found it to be just right. Slightly more intimate because it wasn't crowded and not too late on a weekend evening.
Be the first to ReplyI'm still in awe at how amazing this dinner was! Came here
I'm still in awe at how amazing this dinner was! Came here for Valentine's dinner, and the amount of detail in everything - from the moment you walk in to the food and service - was phenomenal! The tasting menu we had was called "The journey", and rightfully was a culinary journey the entire way through. We decided to do the drink pairing with dinner and have no regrets doing so; I don't drink often anymore and have a pretty low tolerance to the burn of alcohol but even I found 2 wines I loved. This dinner was a sensory journey, I don't want to spoil anything but I will tell you the dinner is very interactive with the food in ways you don't expect. I loved learning about Columbia's history and how it's expressed through their food, and I was delighted to taste fruits I've never had together like Yuzu and lemon in their sorbet. This dinner was so good I've decided to learn how to make Colombian food at home, and I can't say enough great things about ALL the staff. Every person we interacted with was wonderful, our server was very knowledgeable about each plate, and the sommelier was kind enough to answer any questions we had about the wines. This is a great place to go to for a date night or any special occasion, I look forward to coming back!
Be the first to ReplyService, atmosphere, and whimsy were all fantastic.
Interacting with the food was fun and allowed us to play and chat. And I got a beautiful color-changing cocktail that was delicious. However, We do fancy tasting menus every year, and this might be the first time I left without a sense of pure elation. It felt like the food was more about the show than the taste. This is obvious in a course like chocotherapy where this is purposeful, but was disappointing in the cheese bread tree of life, for example, when it seemed like the food experience should match the presentation. There were several courses that did not wow me on flavor and texture, despite how pretty everything was. The first few bites blew the rest of the meal away with a delicate, playful sorbet and delicious and strange mushroom ball bites. Empanadas were fun and yummy, and then courses started getting less delicious. There was a soup and pate course that was light on flavor. The mashed potatoes with the main course were inedibly gluey, the clear worst of the evening. The dip'n dots-style dessert was unpleasant to eat, and the anniversary chocolate mousse was bland. With the anniversary package also comes a photo of us, which is so dark, you can barely see us. Ending on a positive again, the staff was wonderfully attentive, we were served quickly and had the courses explained well, and left feeling cared for by the team that worked with us. I am just used to being wowed with every bite at a Michelin star tasting, and here I left a bit underwhelmed.
Be the first to ReplyI decided to have El Cielo be my main birthday celebration
I decided to have El Cielo be my main birthday celebration for the year and I can definitely say that I enjoyed myself tremendously. The venue allowed for an intimate feel while also allowing us all to not feel like the different tables were on top of each other. The service was impeccable (the only hiccup being that they didn't let us know that we would have to tell them how we wanted our bison cooked well in advance). Lastly, the quality and execution of the meal were amazing. We opted for the twenty course option, which allowed us to sample a variety of bites which were rooted in Colombian flavors. Some of the favorites were the passion fruit toddy (a nice warm and tangy start to the night), the tapioca and fois gras cube (which was crispy and not too rich), the tuna "empanada" (the presentation alone is definitely worth getting this), and the ceviche (tangy, fresh and overall excellent) were my favorite savory items. Although all of the desserts were great, my favorite were the pumpkin and sapto cone and the cholao. Although most of the menu suited my tastes I found some of the flavors to be either very similar or repetitive. A lot of the items had a tangy and fruity quality. I also found the last dessert (the guava tart and tamarind profiterole) to be underwhelming. The flavors were complimentary (but again tangy), but beyond the dry ice element the desert itself seemed very simple for a venue which wowed us so much at the start of the dinner. Overall, I enjoyed myself, however I probably will not be back for more (4/5).
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful, creative dishes that were very delicious.
If given the chance, I would return. I thought the artistry and thought that went into each dish was great. The food was creatively displayed and really felt like they were telling a story. The experience was very memorable and the food tasted delicious. I would 100% come back if I had another event to celebrate!

Be the first to ReplyMy husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at El
My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at El Cielo on November 19th, 2023. I chose that restaurant because my husband was from Colombia, so I thought he would love it when I saw that it would cost us $1000 for two people. I thought it was expensive, but I told myself that it would be a great experience like the one we had a year before at a different, expensive restaurant, but it was worth every penny. To my disappointment, it was one of the worst financial mistakes I ever made in my entire life. 1. Location: The location does not look safe. We were walking on the street, holding our breath. It is not the safest area in D.C. 2. The restaurant. Nothing that will make your experience cost 1000 dollars. There were cheap-looking chairs and decorations. I guarantee you, you will not be wowed. Once we sat there, I thought they would move us somewhere else, but no, that was it. The place was very average. That is not a place you will go if you want a fancy dinner 3. Drinks. I got the nine-drink package. They served me drinks from the bottom of the bottle, and the sparkling wine was not even a champagne or a nice sparkling wine for 1000 dollars. Come on 4. Food: I traveled around the world, including Colombia. This was the worst food experience I ever had. I don't know where these reviews came from. The food could have been better. I bet you with 20 meals that they will serve you, and you will still walk out of there hungry When people pay this high for dinner, they get confused and think, maybe it is me who is not sophisticated enough, or maybe I do not have rich taste. I was sooo confused about this place. My husband is from Colombia and lived in Bogota for many years, and he thought it was a joke and asked me not to tell anyone about this. He did not want me to write a review, but I said that people must know. I have a business as well. Sometimes, business owners pay to remove bad reviews, and they ask their friends and family to write good reviews. I do not want people to have the same regret. The owner is either a sociopath or a genius. He figured that people would pay for something expensive because they think that for that price, it has to be GOOD. It was more the psychological experience that we had. I will never go there again, even for free. We talked to another Colombian couple, and they thought the same thing. I told myself I knew I was not crazy. The joke is at the end; we were so tired of that crappy food they insisted on packing the rest so we could take it home; they brought a cheap-looking brown bag. I told them that for a 1000 dollars dinner, this is what you have?
Be the first to ReplyI really loved all the food and drinks here, and everyone
I really loved all the food and drinks here, and everyone was so nice. We did the 13 course meal--everything was super inventive and always a play on something, which we loved. I will say two things majorly hindered us from enjoying our evening more. One was the timing--I didn't get my cocktail until the 3rd course, and they were pushing us through the courses way too fast. My friend would be done with her course and I wasn't yet, or vice versa, and they took that as a sign to bring the next course while one of us was still eating the previous one. We didn't have any time to talk unless we just stopped eating (while we were hungry!) to prevent them from bringing another course through. The second thing is it's actually an 11 course meal--I don't want to spoil the surprise, and the other two courses are nice/fun, but it's not to eat. I don't think I would come back for a full sit-down meal again but I might come back to try the cocktail flight at the bar.
Be the first to ReplyI've been to several Michelin-rated restaurants in the past
I've been to several Michelin-rated restaurants in the past few years, and this is still one of my favorites. It can be difficult to find fine dining restaurants that balance presentation, creativity, and memorably flavorful food, but El Cielo did all three. Myself, my partner, and a friend got the shortened tasting menu, and we felt it was plenty of food without being overfull - especially because there was plenty of time between courses. Our servers were friendly and enthusiastic about explaining each dish. The meal we had truly felt like an exploration and celebration of both food and culture, and I would be happy to visit again.
Be the first to ReplyThis was quite the birthday experience! Food was amazing
This was quite the birthday experience! Food was amazing (20 courses) and whimsically presented. I did the wine pairing and my husband the cocktails. We shared and thoroughly enjoyed both. Wine pairings were fabulous and the cocktail presentation just so much fun. The vibe was great except we both had a hard time hearing our waiter over the music. Don't get me wrong I LOVED the music, it was just a bit loud. Sommelier was super helpful and informative. It was evident everyone who worked there truly enjoyed what they were doing. My only real complaint is this. What exactly is the 20% service charge? What does it cover? Who does it go to? I have zero issue paying for an amazing meal and experience but what precisely am I paying for? I know this is something DC is trying out (Initiative 82) but even after reading up on it, it is unclear whether or not this goes towards the tip. We did tip regardless since we wanted to make sure the wait staff was compensated for their efforts. Would have give 5 stars had this service fee either been omitted or better explained. Overall we loved the experience!
Be the first to ReplyGreat dining experience - so much food!! You will
Great dining experience - so much food!! You will definitely leave full. The cocktails are great if you prefer over the wine flights. The space is a little tight, and generally a little more expensive compared to other 1 michelin star restaurants in town, but still worth the trip. They highlight Columbia's culture in a wonderful way, even with a chocolate hand wash which is unique and yummy.
Be the first to ReplyOverall - fun date night with creative dishes.
However, pricing is absurd for the experience. FoodFood was delicious with an emphasis on creative, sensory experiences. We had a great time. We only did not like one dish, which was the foie, because we don't love foie and no substitutions are accommodated. We only had the option of booking the 20 course experience on Tock, which was too many courses for us personally. We barely made it through. Would definitely recommend the 13 course Journey if able to book. PriceApparently, they just did a massive price increase as Tock costs do not match what is listed on their website. After tax and fees, it's now $380 a person for the Experience before any drinks. Wine markups of 3-4x bottle costs too. IE - with a bottle of cheapish wine our total bill was more than $900 for two. I expect you'll start to see harsher reviews as expectations soar when paying $1000 for a dinner. ServiceI booked same day and they did not have our reservation upon arrival as they had printed out on hard paper. Had to pull out reservation on phone to show them. Entire staff is Colombian which is cool and authentic. Our waiter was very difficult to understand, which detracted from the experience and not in line with pricing. The girl in training was actually better. We spent around 3 hours for dinner. Ambiance I thought the ambiance was cool. Great decor, upbeat music. Casual atmosphere.
Be the first to ReplyWe went with "the experience" a 22 course culinary journey
We went with "the experience" a 22 course culinary journey through Colombia and left very happy (and full)! While the meal was fantastic, we especially enjoyed the history, distinct flavors, and story that came with each dish. The service was great - everyone worked cohesively as a team and dishes seemed to come out just as you were finishing your current one. The staff was on top of everything - friendly and welcoming and able to give great recommendations.What I think we loved most was the creativity that came with each dish. It felt like we were looking at art and some dishes were (almost) too beautiful to eat. We also appreciated the storyline that came with many of the dishes. The cocktails were also tasty and creative, albeit a bit pricey (around $30). Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at El Cielo and this has inspired us to visit Colombia soon!

Be the first to Reply[Updated to include pictures]El Cielo is a high-end
[Updated to include pictures]El Cielo is a high-end restaurant brand founded by Colombian chef Juan Manuel Barrientos. This Washington branch has one Michelin star. There are also locations in Medellin, Bogota, and Miami.Here in DC, you'll find a 20-point menu that's not just about tastings, but also "sensory experiences." As for the food and drink, it showcases how Colombian and Latin American cuisine can be world-class yet also welcome global influences and ingredients.The menu starts with several small amuse bouches: an intense shot of passionfruit mistela (a Spanish holiday liqueur), then a plate-cleansing bite of soursop and champagne sorbet, and an interesting canape-like take on an aborrajado (normally fried plantains stuffed with cheese).The bites got larger from this point on: a truffle buñuelo packing an amazingly powerful umami punch to it, a "crab empanada" where you stuff a crab-shaped shell with a pineapple ahi salsa or a meaty tomato onion coconut salsa, another powerful bite of tapioca and foie gras, and a "potato cone" adorably presented in a bird-shaped jar.Next came the first significant "sensory experience." You first wash your hands with "exfoliating" coffee and sugar - complete with a water rinse poured into your hands and a large bowl to catch the residue. Next, your hands get doused with liquid chocolate, which you lick off. Had I known about this "chocotherapy," I would have taken my sweet time enjoying all the chocolate, which in my case was rinsed off far too soon in order to move things along.All this was a unique twist that drew nervous laughter from me - and squeals of absolute surprise and delight from tables that were served after me. And in most tasting menus I've enjoyed, this would have been *the* highlight, but there were even more surprises in store.Next came three larger courses that were rolled out so quickly that they piled up on my table. A "tree of life" made of - if I remember correctly, irresistibly sweet yucca and cheese bread, accompanied by cilantro cream and caramelized butter - was a ginormous, beautifully photographable sight. Just as I started spreading some butter onto my first bite, I dropped it on the table after being ambushed with two other courses at once: an absolutely delicious and savory corn soup with multiple ingredients that I was too flummoxed to hear (but which still offered a nice mélange of temperatures and textures), and a lobster ceviche roll with sharp, spicy, and citrusy flavors to it.At this point I asked if the pacing was going to be so fast for the rest of the meal. The staffers got the hint and noted that things would come more slowly, especially since the courses would be getting larger. So I was able to savor and enjoy, at an appropriate pace, a black bass tamal with a delightfully savory sauce that paired beautifully with Argentinian malbec. A course of quail, wild onion, and rice, plus a rack of lamb, paired well with tempranillo, which I'd recommend finishing before sinking your teeth into the palate-cleansing "popsicle" that followed.After this came a succession of desserts. The cholao, a Colombian fruit salad with passionfruit, yuzu, and blackberry, was so intensely sweet that I started hyperventilating in a good way, as incredibly sharp jolts of sweetness shot through my senses. I had to close my eyes, bury my face in my hands, and take deep breaths to recover. Note that I've spent the last 3 months losing 30 pounds on a low-salt and low-sugar diet, so all the flavors throughout the meal were incredibly intense for me - whereas they might not be as sharp for you if you eat out all the time.This was followed by a small greenish marbly rock which was actually a chocolatey bite called the "Colombian Emerald." Then came a beautifully presented "yellow butterfly" with an edible Michelin star, followed by a "coffee field" that you absolutely need to take videos of because it theatrically elevates a normal coffee service into a sea of smoke that washes over your table. A most dazzling second "sensory experience" - but not the last.To finish, I was presented with rose petals treated with some type of cream, all of which I was encouraged to crush in my hands, and then close my eyes and inhale. While not edible, this felt like an aromatherapy course that cleansed my senses and felt like a mini-spa treatment to end the entire experience.And gosh, what an experience it was. The only nits I had were the fast-paced rollout of the early and middle courses; the need to alert diners to experiences that might be worth savoring slowly or at least capturing on photo or video; and possibly typing out the ingredients in greater detail or explaning them slowly, because there was sooooo much that went into every course - even the deceivingly tiny ones.Still, service was mostly refined, and this was an "experience" to remember in so many ways. An excellent occasion for my 10,400th Yelptime review and 2,100th of 2022!
Be the first to ReplyA fantastic tasting experience.
We did the full 20 courses and each bite was good and interesting. The pictures will speak for themselves.Overall the appetizers and small bites were more flavorful packed and unique than the entrees. While still good, the entrees felt more classic vs the uniqueness of the appetizers. The deserts were delicious as well. Each dish is well crafted and has a unique presentation style. Only thing is pacing was a bit slower than expected. We started eating around 4:00pm and did not finish until close 7:45pm.
Be the first to ReplyVisited El Cielo on Friday evening with my partner.
While I expected to be wowed, it pains me to say that we sadly left underwhelmed by the experience.Our reservation was for The Journey which promised 14-16 courses, but ended up being 13 (2 of which were sensory experiences and not edible.) To keep the review brief, we loved the amuse-bouches, the Tree of Life, the corn soup, the popsicle and the complexity of the Cholao which had a nostalgic feel of pop rocks. The restaurant is also beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.For the things we didn't love..we thought the wine pairing was overpriced and would not recommend as it was $110 for five pours (most were ~1 oz) that were not appropriately spaced over the course of the meal. Secondly, while the servers were really nice and accommodating (we were running a bit late due to traffic,) my partner had a shellfish allergy and although it was noted on the reservation it was not acknowledged when we arrived and we had to tell our server as we were seated. Even after us noting the shellfish allergy twice, he was served crab with the crab empanadas- thankfully we caught the error- but this left us questioning many of the meals the rest of the night. Not the level of service we'd expect for the cost. Additionally, with the acoustics inside, we couldn't hear the presentation of what was in each order. After a few attempts of trying really hard to hear our servers, we just smiled and nodded. Lastly, the Posta Negra was one of the dishes we were looking forward to because it was heartier than the amuses was almost too salty to enjoy. While I was glad to have the opportunity to try El Cielo, the $1,000 cost and status led us to have high expectations that unfortunately were not met and the experience was more 'ok' than 'great.'
Be the first to ReplyI must admit they nearly had to wheel me out after 20
I must admit they nearly had to wheel me out after 20 courses and experiences.I chose the entire Journey through Colombia for my 41st birthday dinner. I was seated and began my two and a half hours of eating. We began with a welcome shot and small bites. The blend of flavors were unexpected and incredible. I ate everything and I am a pick eater. Passion fruit and avocado together? Absolutely. Lobster ceviche topped with roe? Yes. Every delicacy you can imagine was featured. Quartered quail and quail eggs, lamb chops. Tamale. Empanada. Savory bon bons. Crystallized rock confections which looks exactly like the stones found in the mountains. And that's just the food.There were so many experiences. Like pop rocks suspended in a Turkish delight type gelatin, topped with dippin dots exploding in my mouth even after I swallowed my bite. The hot corn porridge with a frozen corn garnish to be eaten together. The choco therapy blending touch, smell, taste. The presentation truly was a journey from an iron tree to a bed of river rocks with a single bite which blended in so well I had to be warned to only eat the food items. Even my birthday candle was a gold flake layered chocolate filled with ice cream but able to be lit.I was so worried by the time the finale began because I was so full from the perfect pacing of my journey. But I was relieved to be greeted by pour over coffee and a rain forest light theatric scene and a rose petal to rub on my hands ending the night with the beautiful and serene.I cannot capture all I experienced in this review but everything was amazing and well thought out. Bravo.
Be the first to ReplyEl Cielo was a magical and fun dining experience! Emphasis
El Cielo was a magical and fun dining experience! Emphasis on the ~experience~ because this restaurant is a whole lot more than just delicious food. Each course is called "a moment," and Chef Barrientos brings you on a journey from the first tasty snacks to the exquisite desserts.The dining room is set up for parties all to be seated for dinner around the same time. We arrived 15 minutes early hoping to have a drink at the bar, but the restaurant was locked and the dining room was empty prior to our seating at 8:00pm. The host met us at the locked door and told us to come back in 10 minutes. We were a little thrown off, but pretty much everything else went off without a hitch. Once seated, you see everyone else getting their courses around the same time as yours, you essentially "experience the moments" together. It's a unique style for dining.Let's talk about the drinks. They come in the craziest decorative cups. Very cute! The cocktails are around $25 each, which is excessive but expected. I loved my spicy margarita. The mixologist put tiny red peppers on the martini glass, like devil horns. My husband had the wine pairing, and he really enjoyed the selection.The food is remarkable! The highlights included: A savory Truffle Buñelo, which was so rich and delicious. The Crab Empanadas, which are literally shaped like crabs. The Tree of Life bread was soo tasty, but our server gave us a tip not to fill up on it too soon! Corn soup was outstanding. The Rockfish Tamal was my absolute favorite. My husband loved the Cholao dessert, which had pop rocks in it! And the Colombian Emerald and Coffee Field were really the icing on the cake. It was really so cool to see the fog cover our table! The Chocotherapy was so weird and different but pretty neat to try out. It was fun watching other tables figure out the messy chocolate. The experience lasted over 3 hours! The service was good here. Yet, we thought it was a little unorganized at first. The servers were getting confused about which tables already received each course, so our server offered us the same dish 3 separate times (with different courses)! The server was good about explaining each dish and checking on us regularly. We loved our fancy date night here! It was a true treat and an unusual and exciting culinary adventure. We would recommend coming here for a special occasion.
