Jônt Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Fantastic food and service.
Expensive but worth the cost. Each of the 30 items were delicious. The wine pairings were well chosen. Staff is courteous and efficient. I highly recommend Jont!

Come early and enjoy a cocktail in their lounge area before making your way up. I was still sipping on mine when our table was ready and the host had it brought to our table. That was a nice touch. Personalized tablets welcome you and guide you through menu options. We decided to update to the truffles and we appreciated the elevation brought to the dish. The flavors were amazing in each dish and I couldn't help but think of the movie Willy Wonka as the flavor profiles seemed to burst in your mouth at different points in every bite! Each ingredient really shined in these dishes. The throwback songs are right up our alley and caught ourselves singing along a few times. Wine pairing was amazing, and I appreciated the story to why they selected these wines and the history of the vineyards. The bathrooms were a skip away, with automated seats that lifted upon and arrival, were heated, and had a Digital Touch operation pad. It's the coziest bathroom I've ever been in with fun fishy wallpaper and dimly lit. Every time I had to use the restroom they promptly replaced my napkin with the a fresh one. We both appreciated the interactive elements of our meal- like selecting your chopsticks and then moving to a different area for dessert and unboxing each section. The staff were all pleasant and each had their own vibe. The level of attention we had the amazing privilege to view and watch from our seats is unforgettable.
Jaunt - more like "haunt".
.. haunted by a search for greatness. Overall very middle of the road experience. Was hoping for many standout dishes, but most of them were meh. A few weren't very tasty, and I didn't finish them (the uni, the mushroom broth). Standout dishes were the first bites (the steam bun and the brioche), a Japanese whitefish with a lovely herbal sauce, the rice, the tempura mushroom, the bread with the main course, and the shaved ice dessert was excellent - very light, flavor, and unique. The rest was pretty average and unmemorable. I had a scallop sub for the beef course, and it was pretty unremarkable and overwhelmed by a truffle sauce. The service was quite nice, but there were a few service misses - a wine glass was taken away before the beverage was finished and the hot towels were served with the main dish so they were cold by the time we were done eating. Surprised it's a 2 star Michelin. For this price point, I would instead recommend a "jaunt" to NYC for Le Bernadin or to Napa for The French Laundry. Those are totally worth it!
Presentation was beautiful and service was great.
The food was good, but not spectacular for a 2 Michelin star spot. Perhaps there are better seasonal menus.
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to dine at Jont
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to dine at Jont with a friend, and capturing its unique charm in words is no easy task. Their absolute commitment to detail and impeccable service is transcendent. We were asked our preference for still or sparkling water and, before I could even fathom needing a refill, my glass was artfully replenished - a maneuver they managed to pull off without us noticing. An out-of-the-box, yet refined, gesture was encouraging customers to place phones on a small rectangular pad; this seemingly small touch amplified the élan and clean aesthetics of the space incredibly. After a course demanded finger-food etiquette, warm towels were presented, much to our appreciation. The warm and convivial staff was like the cherry on top - always eager to engage in friendly banter, creating an atmosphere akin to dining with friends. Moving on to the real star of the night: the food. Rather than an exhaustive critique of the extensive litany of dishes, I'll share a few standout highlights. The bafun uni - a symphony of savory, richness, and portioned perfection, presented beautifully. The medai was sheer palatable delight; the koshiibuki rice encapsulated truffle's sheer indulgence. The wagyu beef, so exquisite, it forced a revelation - it was as though I was truly discovering wagyu' full potential for the first time. Following this course, we were chaperoned to another section of Jont for dessert - our tantalizing second act. The butter mochi dessert was simplicity at its most deceptive, morphing into an under-the-foam surprise of mochi that left us in awe. To conclude, a playful puzzle-box containing 8 dainty sweet treats was offered. We decided to take ours home (of course, eating the freshly baked madeleines while they were still fresh), accompanied by a mint matcha latte for our morning enjoyment - a final note of deliciousness. In a nutshell, this was not my last visit to Jont. I'm excited to return soon!
Delicious restaurant week meal
Came here for restaurant week. Set menu was $65 for three courses. Had two tummy amuse bouche to begin then cavatelli with bacon and crunchy rice crisps, pork with fingerling potatoes and banana-chocolate mousse cake for desert. All were so delicious. We also upgraded 1 meal to wagyu beef for additional $30 - so tender and flavorful - and added an extra dish of fried chicken with caviar for $35. The service was exceptional. The restaurant was on the casual side and a bit loud - I had walked by here so many times and never guessed it was a Michelin 1 star. Would come again.
This was one of the very best meals of my life, if not the
This was one of the very best meals of my life, if not the best. From start to finish, every single bite had the most perfect and surprising flavors. It just kept getting better. The pumpkin chawanmushi was the best chawanmushi that i've ever had. I also could not get over the bluefin tuna with salted raspberry, it was so satisfying and the sauce was addicting. I also got the White Truffle addition. At some other restaurants, i've thought that the truffles weren't worth the money, but that was not the case at Jônt, the white truffles were very high quality and truly enhanced the dishes that they were shaved on. The kinki and the koshibuki rice were also both favorites. The rib cap and tongue were very memorable as well, and in my opinion steak courses can be easy to forget about. Even though every course was incredible, the highlight of the night was their duck course. It was seriously the best duck that i've ever had, the fat was rendered so perfectly, and the sauce was so rich and sweet yet savory. The bread was also insanely good and the broth went so well with the dish, the mushroom stuffed with sausage was very good as well. After the savory courses concluded, we were brought to their dessert parlor. It started with a "tasting of strawberry" which had 3 different small bites one of which was Japanese strawberries. The next dessert was a Concord grape shaved ice dessert that reminded my boyfriend and I of a PB&J, it was so delicious. The last dessert was a Mont Blanc, which was of course insane as well. The evening finished with a huge box of mignardises. Jônt might be pricey, but its worth every cent, it can easily be compared to the other 3 Michelin starred restaurants that i've been to, I won't be surprised once they get awarded with it. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable meal.

Jont just keeps getting better and better!!! It's been a while since I have been there and I pleasantly surprised to find that not only did they maintain the same excellence I had during a previous experience, but they actually went and raised the bar making the restaurant that much more epic. Everything from the food the ambiance and the staff are absolutely perfect. When I say perfect I mean perfect, they don't miss a thing. I can honestly say that I am surprised that Jont does not have 3 Michelin stars as I truly believe they are at that level.

We had the privilege of dining here for our first time to celebrate our anniversary and from the moment we entered the dining area the ambience set the tone for our journey of an absolute amazing culinary experience. I'm a hip-hop and R&B head, so the playlist vibes won me over from the jump -- As it relates to the courses, the flavor profiles from beginning to end were truly divine leaving us with a difficult decision to identify a particular favorite when all of the courses were incredible. I also applaud and appreciate the smaller, but important details relative to plating presentation, pairing of utensils, and exceptional service. Ultimately, Jônt lives up (and arguably exceeds) its reputation as a Michelin two-star acclaimed restaurant and is highly recommended. Thank you for a very memorable anniversary dinner and we are excited to return again in the near future!
Good food, terrible restaurateurs
Good food. Great and attentive service. Nice wines by the glass. Why the 1 star review? The unbelievable greed in the part of the restaurant. The regular tasting menu on Dec 29, $155. Same menu one day later?? 265? Why? SAME MENU no special additions, just a money grab from this restaurant. Let’s talk about the added service charge. Lots of restaurants are Now charging them to offset the wage disparity between FOH and BOH. 4-6% I can live with these thieves?? 23%. If your business model can’t support your staff with $255 tasting menus…. Maybe you should rethink it!!
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this two-star Michelin restaurant. The service was painfully slow, with our food taking a whole hour to arrive. We ordered a $150 bottle of wine, only to be informed 30 minutes later that they didn't have it anymore - a baffling situation. The sea urchin soup was a frozen disaster, making it clear that quality control was nonexistent. To top it off, the nearly $1400 check left a bitter taste that surpassed any of the poorly executed dishes. This place is undoubtedly the worst in the DC area. Adding to the misery, Chef Ryan was present throughout our ordeal, yet did nothing to salvage the experience. Despite the evident chaos, his lack of intervention or effort to rectify the situation further solidifies this restaurant as a regrettable choice in the DC area. The dismal experience was exacerbated by the blaring and cringe-worthy music that filled the restaurant - a cacophony of bad rap with offensive lyrics. It seems even the ambiance was a dreadful mismatch, contributing to the overall disappointment of this Michelin-starred establishment.
This experience was amazing!!! It is expensive but I will
This experience was amazing!!! It is expensive but I will go again. The food, the service, the staff, the ambiance was amazing!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Jont. I was even able to speak with Chef Ryan. He was extremely humble and friendly. I can not wait to return!!!
Disappointing
Absurdly over-priced and over-rated. Michelin stars no longer mean anything to me. We paid almost $800 for a chef's tasting for two with their lower priced wine pairing. The portions were ridiculously small to the point that we didn't feel that we had a complete meal. And the flavor combinations were gratuitously complex and did not complement each other. My husband and I are adventurous foodies -- we appreciate good food. This was a lot of artful presentation that seemed to forget that people also come to have their appetites satisfied. It's obvious their overhead is high and not sure what value all the staff running around added. It was all very pretentious and ultimately underwhelming. But it also must drive their mandatory 23% gratuity added to the bill. So our table service alone was $130 because we opted for the chef's tasting. And the D.C. tax was $70! We don't mind spending a lot of money for an exquisite dining experience, but this was definitely not that. So many better options in the D.C. area. And if your curious still compels you to eat here, don't do the chef's tasting.
Great food, some incredible flavours
Excellent food and wine. The food was creative and bursting with delicious flavour. Congratulations to the chef for such beautifully made food. We thought the service was excellent end to end. We would definitely return. I would say thr one thing that we would love to change is thr noise level. Between 6-8pm the noise level + music made the blast less upscale. Then after 8:30 the crowd died down to nearly half and that was fine. Perhaps they need noise management measures. Otherwise a pretty flawless execution. It’s a hipster/cool/fine dining experience which is less stuffy and feels great if you like fine dining informal, which we enjoyed a lot.
A Good Meal Overwhelmed by Noise
To Celebrate completion of our son's 3 year medical residency at Walter Reed we dined at Bresca. Here is what we found. A nice celebratory note congratulating our Dr on completion of his residency. A waiter with sensibility, and remarkable courteousness. A restaurant so loud one had to yell to be heard, or talk loud to the person 6 inches away, loud, cacophonous rap or hip hop music so intrusive and annoying as to hasten the end of the meal and waiters gallantly, but ultimately failing to explain dishes because they could not be heard. what a waste. As for the food, it came in waves course upon course, ( where the servers tried to explain the ingredients, but might as well have been talking to the wall for their inability to be heard). The starters of seafood/asparagus and leeks en bavarois were inventive and touched with a multitude of subtle flavors. Then came the Salmon reputedly from the Columbia River in the Northwest. The salmon was more sashimi like, though it may have been slightly poached in a sweet bath. it was like by all of our party of 5, but one. The short rib cavatelli was excellent, with plenty of the been and the pasta cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the Australian Wagyu was a miss. The 3-4 ounce serving for most had too much gristle and sinewy tissue such only half could be eaten. a disappointing course. finally the dessert of Japanese Cheesecake was delightful and creative. The wine list was vastly overpriced and limited. Cocktails were apparently gold plated if their cost was a measure of their value. Bresca is a restaurant to which our table will not return: while the food was good, it was not good enough to justify the price; the wine list was priced too aggressively for the value and the noise level turned what should have been a family evening into an event in which the five of us might as well have been in silos, alone and unheard.
