Reviews for minibar by José Andrés in 855 E St NW, WA
An amazing ???? dining experience with wine pairing. Jose Andres welcomed chefs from Reverse, where there was a fire, to... collaborate on the evening's culinary experience. Ten individuals working in quiet coordination to produce unique tasteexperiences. Would not change a thing. Read more
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 presentationdone merely inches away from you in a unique intimate setting of only 12 seats (and one seating per night). Truly moleculargastronomy done well (when it is so often fumbled by other restaurants). Despite the setting, cost, and prestige of this place,nothing feels pretentious. Service is prompt and friendly, there is no pressure to select add ons, and all the chefs, by virtueof the set-up, are good humoured, approachable, and eager to chat and answer your questions about each course. I would skip thetruffle pairing ($120 for truffles on 3 dishes), and wine pairing in lieu of the a la carte cocktails from bar mini. They do anaked and famous as good, if not better than anywhere else. Read more
Japanese-inspired chef counter experience. Very elegent and minimal; inventive preparation; and unique and surprising.
The cocktail experience was phenomenal! Such a fun experience for two people. We got the black truffle grilled cheese as a snack... - delicious! Read more
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 reallynice being able to sit all around the kitchen and being able to observe the chefs create the dishes. We didn?t do the winepairing but did order some cocktails, which were also spectacular (they do give you a few for free too!). For my birthday, theyserved me a cheesecake at the end and were very kind to help us take a Polaroid photo for us to keep! We were also sent homewith a delicious milk bread. Absolutely enjoyed this experience and adored this Japanese inspired menu. Thank you for amemorable night, minibar!! Read more
It was awesome! I had no idea that I can taste so much flavors! I am sure we will come back in there. Atmosphere is great, you... feel like part of the kitchen, having fun, enjoying the food... It's wonderful experience! Read more
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 andcaviar, soy chicharron, nori senbei, and strawberry milk. We tried the gin and juice cocktail from barmini, which was wonderfulas well. Read more
One of the best restaurants in DC. The atmosphere, decor, and experience blew me away. The service and food were outstanding.... The price was well with it. Definitely a place to check out if you are anywhere close to downtown! Read more
