I wanted to love it, but nothing stood out for it being a 2-star Michelin restaurant. Maybe I need to come back for a different seasonal menu. Service was okay.

4 hours before our dinner, we received an email saying there was an issue with their air conditioning. Since that was the last full day we were in DC, we couldn't reschedule. It was hot but it wasn't unbearable. If anything, I felt bad for

On the weekend of August 16, 2025, I somehow chose the wrong time to come. I've had this restaurant on my radar for about a year before I flew to DC to try this place. I spent about 3 weeks researching on whether to pick a different place, but i
Absolutely phenomenal experience.
We went there for my birthday, and I kept echoing throughout the night "I'm so happy," and "I'm so glad we're doing this." Incredible ingredients. I really loved the Japanese prime ingredient choices, and having
Our fourth visit to Jônt, always extraordinary.
Each dish is a marvel, beautiful and incredibly yummy. The staff are a delight, and their food and wine descriptions excellent. New this time, and AMAZING: we tried the non-alcohol drink pairing, which was out of this world. Most were bottled drinks
Overall, an excellent experience.
The staff do an excellent job to connect their hard labour into the craft of cooking. Their service and craftsmanship is top tier in the District. The food was very well thought out and consistently brought out in a timely manner.

Miserable place to dine in spite of great food
We had a miserable experience at Bresca. The food was superb, worthy of the Michelin one star. But the noise made the dining experience a horror show: thumping music and incredibly loud talking (thanks in part to the music). I took my nephew and his
One of the greatest meals I've ever had in my entire life.
My friends I went with were speechless. Everything from the service to the cocktails to the presentation to the playlist is perfection. This place is absolutely deserving of every accolade. I am a pescatarian and they were incredibly accommodating.
This was an over-the-top experience.
Definitely a special-occasion meal. We started with counter seating with a view of the kitchen. Quite a few dishes on the tasting menu (almost all of which were complex, creative and very well done) and then we moved to the bar area for our dessert

Well hands down this was my favorite and best chef's tasting experience EVER! I've been to quite a few chef's tastings and Michelin star restaurants including Minibar, Gravitas, and many more throughout DC and Northern Virginia. This t
Food is fine. Wine pairing and wine by the glass, not so much.
We had the 5-course restaurant week menu. It was a pretty good value and the food was pretty good. Service was fine. I had the wine pairing whereas my wife ordered wine by the glass. The wine pairing wines were selections that you can buy for $20 or
Great food, friendly service, but noisy
We came for the restaurant week and enjoyed the food very much. The short rib was particularly gorgeous. The pavlova dessert was also very nice, and I liked it more than the one I had had at Rooster and Owl (one star Michelin) a week earlier. The bri

I love sitting at a tasting counter where you can watch the chefs do their thing. It also promotes conversation with your fellow diners (as does the glass of champagne they serve you upon being seated). Loved the whiskey drinks made and served tables
Unforgettable Dining Experience at Bresca: A Culinary Journey of East Meets West
Words can't fully express how much I enjoyed dining at Bresca. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both like a cozy neighborhood bistro and a place of refined elegance. The decor, with its green mo

It was our favorite food experience of our life so far. Everything was cooked to perfection and unique. The service was impeccable. The flavors were so addicting... you wanted to lick your plate clean. The atmosphere was interesting, unique, and inti

Wow, just wow! Dined at Jont on Saturday night, and the entire experience was incredible. Some of the (very few) less than outstanding reviews have said that the food did not match the food at other Michelin Star restaurants. Nothing could be furthe
Fantastic food and service.
Expensive but worth the cost. Each of the 30 items were delicious. The wine pairings were well chosen. Staff is courteous and efficient. I highly recommend Jont!

Presentation was beautiful and service was great.
The food was good, but not spectacular for a 2 Michelin star spot. Perhaps there are better seasonal menus.

Good food, terrible restaurateurs
Good food. Great and attentive service. Nice wines by the glass. Why the 1 star review? The unbelievable greed in the part of the restaurant. The regular tasting menu on Dec 29, $155. Same menu one day later?? 265? Why? SAME MENU no special additions

Disappointing
Absurdly over-priced and over-rated. Michelin stars no longer mean anything to me. We paid almost $800 for a chef's tasting for two with their lower priced wine pairing. The portions were ridiculously small to the point that we didn't feel that we

A Good Meal Overwhelmed by Noise
To Celebrate completion of our son's 3 year medical residency at Walter Reed we dined at Bresca. Here is what we found. A nice celebratory note congratulating our Dr on completion of his residency. A waiter with sensibility, and remarkable courteous
Poor value. TERRIBLY NOISY!
I had $118 four course with wine pairing ($85). Wife had $88 three course. Overall: Imaginative food (sometimes). Lots of hit or miss. Very good service. Definitely NOT worth the extremely high cost - $393 for two. Ambience - HORRIBLE!!! Awful
Ethos cocktails & dinner = the best b-day

Loud
Extraordinarily loud. 4 courses. Appetizers and deserts were good. So loud unable to enjoy. We regularly dine at Michelin star restaurants. Uncertain how they were able to achieve this rating.

Hidden away on the top story of another DC restaurant, Jont offers a not-to-be-missed dining experience. From the moment you walk in to the time you leave, the service is impeccable. There are 32 courses - 16 savory and 16 sweet - with a unique range
My fiancé and I had the most amazing experience.
Food, service, and music was excellent. We were 15 mins late due to traffic so it's super important to make sure to show up on time as they serve each dish to everyone around the same time. They were understanding and caught us up with no issues. Foo
If I want to listen to loud rap I go to a night club.

Jont is now the pinnacle of DC dining, both in quality and price. Every course was amazing, and the final check was jaw-dropping. I'm not sure we'll be back until we win the lottery, but wow is the food good!
Probably the best meal with the best service I have ever eaten!
For Valentine's Day, Bresca served a very special 5-course meal with champagne and caviar supplements and wine pairings with each course (the supplements and pairings cost extra). The caviar was served with delicious little potato waffles and a rich

Came here a while back and had an exceptional meal.
There's definitely some places that are weak 2 stars and even some weak 3 stars. This is very strong 2 star and will be 3 soon enough. Some things needed to be worked out to get there but they'll get there and when they do this will be one of the gr

I was so absolutely full when I left but would definitely go there again (though I may just ask to get the dessert to go next time!). Highly recommend this experience.
Connect with users posting reservations for Jônt Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Jônt 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 Jônt 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 Jônt 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
* MaternalRecord73, 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.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Jônt 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 Jônt 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.
