                          All the food and drink were amazing. Don’t skip the pho pate and the seafood cha gio. Their signature cocktails are amazing as well. You honestly can’t go wrong with any choice you make. A wonderful dining experience

                          While the food was very good-nice variety, wonderful flavors-the service took away from the entire dining experience. Our appetizers arrived before our cocktails and we felt so rushed in the first 15 minutes, we purposefully delayed ordering our entrees. No explanation of the food was offered (we didn’t know to add mint to one of the wraps we ordered). The server interrupted our conversation several times (not waiting until we had finished a sentence). The noise level was much too loud and the tables were too close together for such a “luxury” restaurant.

                          Incredible food! I’ve been twice and both experiences have been amazing. I took my husband for his birthday and he loved it! The cocktails are outstanding and the ambiance is perfect for a nice dinner out. I love that the menu changes so you can try new dishes yet some of their traditional classic dishes are always available(the Bo Kho Pappardelle is a must with the Yuca cake for dessert!!). The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive as well. Highly recommend!! We will be returning for the next menu change!!

                          Really just a top notch experience every time - from the food, the ambience, to the service. We can not say enough good things about NUE. Every accolade is so very well deserved!

                          We ended up at the bar because the dining room was full, but we had a wonderful experience. The menu is creative, the food was fantastic, and the bartenders and staff were attentive, efficient and friendly. It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the DC area in a long time!

                          Food was definitely delicious. But don't bok outside like we did. The weather was wonderful, but the outdoor area is terrible. Cars idle right next to the dining area, which is literally right next to the sidewalk and Rt. 7. I have no idea why someone thought this would be a reasonable idea. Nothing augments a $50 entree like the smell of exhaust.
