Hands down the best brunch spot in the city. Delicious cocktails, great food, very cool and chill atmosphere and of course an outstanding service! Everyone who works there is incredibly professional and yet friendly, fun and very easy going. Have to mention Vladimir separately because he went above and beyond with his service. He along can be the reason to come there!

Avocado toast, add bacon! Gut Health juice is great too. 20% automatic gratuity is applied for all tables, even small groups.

A very pleasant surprise for both the food and the ambience (great music BTW), our server was very friendly and they accommodated us 30 minutes before our reservation. The winner of the night was the dessert: chocolate, caramel and mousse ?

Our favorite dinner we had in DC. The service was incredible and we loved all the recommended food. We started with the gyros, then we had the pesto burrata, and finished with the crab & artichoke risotto. Everything tasted decadent and fresh.

We had some of the best food and cocktails we’ve had in a long time! The dishes were a fusion of different cultures and all of them incorporated lots of fresh produce. We loved all of the appetizers and entrees we got, but some of our favorites were the tempura snap peas, lamb gyros, hummus, octopus, gnocchi. We finished the meal with the basque cheesecake, cream puffs, and their homemade chocolate bar. All incredible! We came for dinner on a Thursday so it was busy, but the service was still so speedy and attentive. We got to meet the chef de cuisine, KC, and he was so welcoming, even telling us about the inspiration for some of the dishes. Great experience!

I’ve seen promotions for this establishment through social media and have been looking forward to trying it out! I must say that my expectations have been blown through the roof! From the atmosphere, to selective, but rich menu selection, and friendly waitstaff, we have had such a memorable experience. Truly, this experience wouldn’t have been so special if not for our fantastic server Anton who was so attentive to our needs and offered such friendly service. we will be back!

Some of the best Expresso Martinis in the city. Also great ambiance on the heat patio with festive cherry blossoms everywhere. Great happy hour or date spot!

The food was ? great. BUT, a 20% service charge was unwanted and apparently mandatory. I didn't want to make an issue, so I paid it. Both the bartender and waiter did their best to help. But the food took too long to come out and the portions were small, I mean very small, they stated that it's Tapas style, but the price on the menu was for an entrée. See the attached picture. I will never visit this place again. I hope you go somewhere else.

We sat inside and I think outdoor would have been a better choice. Outside was well lit and had heaters while inside was very dark.

Atmosphere nice, but the food and the service horrible. Ordered the french toast bites, half of it burned. The only thing that saved the experience were the cocktails but overall the place is overpriced with slow service. If you want a good time in DC, avoid aesthetically pleasing places, they are most probably hiding the horrendous food.

We came to Residents for our 6 month wedding anniversary and March date night. SO good. Service was incredible- we had a bottle of wine and didn’t have to pour myself a single glass. Food was phenomenal- we had the steak tartare, mini gyros, whipped hummus and bowl of fries. Will totally be back to check out their spring menu and decor!
