Gravitas - Washington

What a great dining experience. Our server was super helpful with cocktail and wine advice. The online menu shows a 3 and 5 course option, but we were only shown the 5-course option and had to ask for the 3-course option. It 's pre-theatre and only available in the first hour of service, though we were there for longer; we arrived in the 5 o 'clock hour. Cocktails were gorgeous and delicious, though super, super pricey (one was $28). The food was tasty, and I

Underwhelming. Poor pacing 5 course meal took about 3 hours. Good service, extremely slow kitchen. For the Michelin star and the price, food expected should be better. Other similarly priced and recognized restaurants delivered better food and experience. Bill including 5 course tasting menu, caviar course, drinks for 2 people $610 including tip. At 305 per person, the food and experience should be stellar, not poorly paced and mediocre.

The service was exquisite!! ???? Celebrated my dad?s birthday at Gravitas and we received impeccable attention with our waiter and everyone else who was part of our food service! The food was delightful and I would recommend anyone to try their 3 or 5 course meal at Gravitas! Angelo was awesome and everyone made us feel welcomed! Thank you Gravitas for making my dads day special! ????????

Last Thursday evening, I had one of the most memorable dining experiences ever, and certainly the best in the last ten years of eating out a LOT all over the country. Gravitas DC 's Chef 's counter, with it 's 15+ courses is certainly a splurge, but if anything is splurge worthy, this IS it. Watching the ballet in the kitchen is always fun, but sitting adjacent to the pass and watching the finishing and expediting of the regular menu (wow! was a new and treasured

Gravitas is a wonderful 1 Michelin star restaurant, complemented by an incredible seating area, good service, and decent food. We visited Gravitas during restaurant week, and selected their 3 course menu. Right from the start, the hosts were kind and welcoming. They showed us to our table. It took some time for the waiter to appear; however, no big deal. He was very professional and polite. After selecting a few drinks and the menu, we got the bread. It was well made. Nothing out of the ordinary but we were happy. The heirloom tomato appetizer was a better option than the Thai inspired shrimp dish. It’s delicious basil oil worked perfectly and the tomato appetizer looked beautiful. The shrimp was a bit too raw for my liking and there wasn’t enough sauce. Yet, it had merit. The mains were a bit disappointing. I have yet to find a good DC Michelin starred restaurant that serves incredible mains. The roasted chicken was stew esque. Their supplemental wagyu was unbelievably tough. I could barely slice it with my knife. Felt a bit like a rip off never tasted such terrible wagyu (not for its flavor but for its lacking tenderness). Otherwise, their wagyu dish had some positives: I loved the panisse and you can’t go wrong with chanterelles. I wish their sauce didn’t look like grey mush, but it was tasty nonetheless. Overall, there was no uniformity in the dish a bit of flavor shopping by combining ingredients that did not unite into a single, meaningful dish. The desserts were great though! We thoroughly enjoyed their coconut chocolate mousse and peaches and cream. I forget the name of our cocktail but it was also an incredible choice. Overall, Gravitas fell short of expectations on some key dishes. However, the flavors were good, service was on point, and the dining room was gorgeous.
