Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Smoke and Mirrors - DC offers a stunning rooftop view of the Capitol, creating a "great atmosphere" for dining and drinks. Known for "delicious food" like the mumbo wings and truffle fries, this spot is perfect for a date night or happy hour. However, service can be "very slow" and inconsistent, with mixed experiences reported. Despite this, the ambiance and cityscape make it a memorable experience for many visitors.

    My honest opinion the drinks were good but the food was subpar. Maybe I didn’t order the right thing…… but I did select a few things and it simply tasted like concession stand food at a high school sporting event.

    We ordered drinks and food. After one hour we thought it took a while so we asked, but they didn’t catch the food-part in our order. We asked for white wine and got sparkling… The evening ended up with my wife in the bathroom with deadlock.
