    Food and service were good, view of Potomac was underwhelming. We expected more from Le Meridien, but this is not a complaint.

    The restaurant was closed at the time of my reservation, so my guests had to go somewhere else.

    Service was slow even though we were the only persons. Entrées which were a salads were good, mainly because we weren't optimistic about ordering items on the menu.

    Disappointment. Except for the friendly attentive service, our experience was not good. The food that was good: the sea bass and some of the desserts. But over all the quality of the food was mediocre. Most food that was meant to hot were not even warm. Some warm food was cold. The food warmers slid all over the table when opened. Dessert items ran out. The salad dressing was awful. There was no bread or crackers for the cheese. Drinks were offered but we were not told that they were extra. $540 for five people was an exorbitant (read rip-off) price to pay for the quality of food offered. Don't believe the reservation system. The only time offered was a 1:30 p.m. When we called we were told to come anytime. When we arrived there was not one there.

    6p and no customers. No bread service. The wait staff didnt know what the house wines were or their price. The food was over priced for the quality. Do not recommend.

    Place was closed. No indication or sign that said ‘closed’ as we entered. Construction and high levels of noise greeted us as we exited the elevator at the 4th floor. Almost run over by a man with construction equipment who was moving towards the elevator door backwards as we existed! My reservation was confirmed through Open Table. How does Open Table confirm a reservation without the knowledge of the restaurant that is involved? How do I trust Open Table going forward? The restaurant regardless must try and follow OSHA laws and keep visitors safe.
