Went here on my sister's recommendation. It's her favorite restaurant in DC. Overall I thought the food was great, but nothing had that wow factor, there's no standout dish that I will be thinking about later. Fun environment but at times felt like they were trying a little too hard to be trendy. The menu is set up so that you have options for you three courses to pick from as well as a few preset "gifts" in between course including the beggars purses and the taste the rainbow sorbet. My date and I ordered different things for each course so that we were able to try almost the entire menu (there were only two options for the first two courses but three for the third course). My favorite dishes were the sqUiDON (udon noodle style dish except made from squid) and the Mont-Blanc Pasta. The most amusing part of the night was the takehome gift, usually I expect an extra dessert to be in the box but they gave us a cheeseburger as lunch the next day or a midnight snack. I'm definitely glad I went but don't feel like I need to go back again soon.

Still a fun experience, even if it didn’t fully blow you away! The creative dishes like the sqUiDON and Mont-Blanc Pasta definitely stand out. It’s always interesting when a place tries to be too trendy, though; sometimes simplicity hits the mark better.
How much did it cost? I was considering going, but I was put off by the store-bought gummies etc. in their sundae bar
Your review matches the pictures well. Nothing looks outstanding.
A whole ass cheeseburger as a take home gift is so unserious it’s actually kinda cool lmao
The most fun meal I’ve had in DC, bummed they lost a star!
Last time I was at Rose’s Luxury, this place was being finished out in the build. Looks amazing!
