This was a 30 course Epicurean masterpiece. Minibar only sits 15 people in a seating; however, I counted 14 staff in the kitchen. This is so much more than just a meal--it is a show. An experience as to how far you can push what a dinner is. It's such a sensory overload it's actually hard to keep tr
Loved it. Their take on toad in the hole, with tofu toast, egg, white truffle and caviar instead of bacon, and a maple foam, was one of the better dishes I’ve ever had.
The mocktails were also very, very good.
Sensational experience! Food is better at other starred restaurants but the performance of it all was amazing! One Macha drink was so overwhelming, it really took away from the delicate flavors in the next 3-4 dishes. Presentation and service was top notch. We did have to get McDonald's after becaus
I’m glad I experienced Minibar once, but tbh, I was a little bit let down by the overall experience.
The food was chef’s kiss fantastic. But that is expected at a two-star Michelin. What brought the experience down for me was that the service from our main server was extremelyyy pretentious, from c
Definitely a worthwhile experience in every way. Everyone was incredibly kind and all of the "snacks" were so delicious. I felt very full at the end of the meal but it wasn't too much. Also it was fun! I've never had a dining experience like this before. Obviously extremely thought out and all of th
Absolutely phenomenal experience!! Husband took me to celebrate my birthday here and not only did we have amazingly delicious food, but the service was impeccable. I also appreciated the fun atmosphere they created for everyone and thought it was really nice being able to sit all around the kitchen
Not all Michelin experiences are equal and this one stands head and shoulders above most of its compatriots. The less you know about the dishes beforehand, I think the better it is.
Almost every bite was a showstopper with the plating and presentation done merely inches away from you in a unique in
There's no comparison to a meal at minibar. There's no real frame of reference - I've eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants before, but this is just *different*.
There is one comparison in my dining history - 6 months ago we lucked in to a cancellation at Alinea when we were in Chicago. I will say
Absolutely unreal experience. The fact that head chef allowed her team to be so involved in the experience speaks highly of their culture there. The ingenuity and beauty in their food is unmatched
This was a one of a kind experience! We were lucky to snag the last reservation available during the week that we are here for a conference. The intimate experience of dining "within the kitchen" and watching the chefs in action made this a truly memorable experience, and elevates it from all the ot
Amazing food and totally fantastic experience, service is totally on point and elevates the dining experience overall. The wine pairings were perfect and really liked some if the playful elements like the bahn mi that looks like is served on roll but is actually made of apple, the chicharron that ha
Amazing experience! Very innovative food with much attention to details. My favorites were, in order: Wagyu, Scallop, Cod, Donut, Monkfish
Service was impeccable! Always serve on the right, wipe any drips on table right away, pulls chair out when you get up and pushes chair back in when you come
An out of this world experience with some of the most whimsical and delicious food. Service was very attentive and watching the chefs create art in front of your eyes was magical. Be sure to make reservations as soon as they release them online. The wine pairings all worked perfectly and everyone wa
First of all, its once of the most warm chef tables I have been on. Beautiful wood. The experience happens to all guest at the same time. The chefs knew how to do the meal without Jose Andres there. The food was the most unique I have ever had. The flavors and textures were so knew to my pallet and
Everything was beautiful at minibar, even the bathroom. The service, presentation, and overall experience was amazing. The pacing was a little slow but was made up by the chefs plating the dishes right in front of you.
My favorites were the corn and caviar, soy chicharron, nori senbei, and strawber
A culinary tour de force, exquisite technique and brilliant creativity combine with ambiance and service to produce one of the most rewarding meals I've ever experienced. Some of the dishes are so surprising and delightful that I laughed out loud. The staff was welcoming, warm, and informative; thei
Drinks and snacks phenomenal...when in DC if you want to have a supreme libation, I highly recommend. Customers service superb, staff seasoned attentive professionals. Will definitely return, perfect first visit and snacks tasty too.. I had the salmon tartar and got to taste the olives which had a j
Such an awesome experience! By far one of the best restaurants in D.C... The only thing is I wouldn’t gave gotten the wine pairing if I had known what I’d be served. Only one red, fairly sweet whites for my palate, and the pours were more of a tasting than a pairing. The food and service were impecc
The cocktail experience was phenomenal! Such a fun experience for two people. We got the black truffle grilled cheese as a snack - delicious!
