    I really wanted to like this place. I was really excited to bring my husband to this location since we are both a fan of craft cocktails. If you’re looking at the website, it looks like an elevated beautiful impressive environment. Unfortunately, we experienced none of those. We got off the elevator and were immediately hit with the smell of marijuana. Now I understand that may not be the fault of the restaurant, but it did affect our experience overall. Once we made it to the host stand to check in for our reservation we were told by the host that there was no table service outside, and she noticed our reservation was made for outside, and our only option was bar service. That’s fine with us, although the Sprite in the gun at the bar was completely flat. When we told the bartender his response was, it’s not real sprite so it’s not gonna have that sprite taste… Regardless, we took our drinks outside to enjoy the views. After a few moments, there was a horrible fishy smell. We don’t know where it came from because nobody around us was eating fish. There were only two other guests on the patio. We decided it was time to go and walked back inside and now the entire restaurant smelled like a mixture of marijuana and fish. We left and went somewhere else for dinner when I got an email from the restaurant that I had missed my reservation and OpenTable was going to charge me the no-show fee. I’m not really sure where the dispute is at at this point, but I did fix my attendance through the email. Very disappointed in my overall experience I would avoid this place.

    Good restaurant with pretty views, but definitely not one of the top ten in Washington as trip advisor promoted them. Creative, delicious cocktails, but charcuterie board very basic
