   We had a great meal. I thought the tower was a little lacking in luster but tasted good

   We had such a delightful experience at Estuary! We were in DC for business/vacation and wanted to try somewhere special and romantic. We were seated near the corner so had views out both windows of the pretty Christmas lights and the beautiful water feature below. The service was incredible--Lauren took such good care of us! The food was fantastic and it all tasted very fresh. We had the crab cakes and I may be spoiled forever because these were simply outstanding--lots of whole, sweet crab chunks and little if any filler. Loved the green sauce and the tiny veggies it was served with! I had the mushroom risotto and husband had the NY strip steak. Both were delicious. All of the dishes were plated artfully, which enhanced the experience. For dessert we had the chocolate bar which is like a layered mousse and was sweet and decadent while still being light. One thing we noticed--because the kitchen is open, we could see food coming out that wasn't on our menu (burgers and other sandwiches and fries, and I think a large slice of chocolate cake?) Those are for the adjoining lounge menu but I wonder if diners could order those as well? We would absolutely return to Estuary to dine again. Everything about it felt special! Kudos to the chef and all other staff members for such a job well done!

   Food was decent. I had the whole fish, which I thought was well seasoned and moist. My partner had the rock fish which he just simply was impressed with. Menu was also a little limited. The drinks were amazing. We also ate there for breakfast the next morning because we stayed at the Conrad. Overall, the experience was positive. The staff was pretty friendly. I would say communication regarding reservations could be a lot better. The restaurant is super open. If you are celebrating an anniversary or something like that, and would like something relatively intimate, this may not be the setting. But for all other occasions it’s pretty good.

   RUN, don't walk to Estuary and feast on the AMAZING Seared Duck Breast with it's incredible dark chocolate and cherry sauce that made me want to lick my plate clean! The Maraichiere Salad looks too pretty to eat but I'm glad that I did! Divine setting, attentive service.

   The food was terrible. I ordered the Ribeye for two and it came out cold. Most anything i ordered came out cold. The drinks were not good enough to be worth the listed price. Dismal experience overall, and I don’t usually do reviews but had to take the time out to express how bad of an experience it was.

    I was excited to dine at Estuary for my husband's birthday. The staff were nice and attentive and the ambiance was good as well. The presentation of the food was good and looked very appetizing. However, the taste fell hort. Our family ordered the table bread, corn chowder, pork belly, steak, chicken, corn (side), spinach, and burger (kids and adults). The taste of the food lacked flavor, especially for the price of it. Ultimately, I was very disappointed in the dinner. Instead of paying for great food, it seemed like we paid for the ambiance and it being located in the Conrad hotel. With that said, my expectation was a nice birthday dinner. I think I would have been better pleased if I went for happy hour and wanted afterwork elevated hotel food.
