    The service improved as we went on but it was unfortunate that they were out of three main courses. The Manhattans were served with a lot of little ice cubes which was odd but the bar did fix it and serve with one large cube on request.

    This was a birthday dinner for me. My husband and I got married here 11 years ago and we come back every so often. I realize that the hotel and everything were renovated recently, but I felt like the lobby and restaurant as a whole seemed more casual than I remember. But the food, is still the same excellent, savory, delicious food. We had the crab dip to start. It was served with deep fried bread. Very cheesy and tasted great. I had the fried chicken which was crispy and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes and greens were scrumptious too. Hubby had the steak frites which was delicious as well. The birthday was rounded out by the citrus creme brulee. It was so creamy and light and very good with the berries and whipped cream. Our server Viktor was a wonderful host and was very attentive, friendly and professional. He made our evening!

    We had a group of ten and our server was excellent -- they use a team and waters and beverages were consistently refreshed, dirty dishes removed and just all around great service, which is hard to get with a large group. And, the food was delish!

    Booked in advance for 8 people. Once we arrived we were informed no server was assigned and we had to order everything at the bar. Overpriced airport food. Extremely loud music. Would not recommend.

    We loved Art & Soul! It was Greta for our large group and management was friendly & very accommodating. The servers were great and very helpful. We’d definitely go again! Art & Soul is in a great location to show visitors DC- we took a picture at the capitol! Would love if there was live jazz on Saturday mornings as well!

    Hi Bella -- Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re really glad to hear you and your group had such a great time with us—it means a lot to know our team helped make your visit special. We love being part of the DC experience, and it’s awesome that you got a Capitol photo after your meal! Also, we love the idea of live jazz on Saturday mornings—that’s such a great vibe. We’ll definitely talk about it with our events team. Hope to see you again soon—there’s always a table waiting for you at Art & Soul!

    Love going to this restaurant, but my son was disappointed to find out that they only serve waffles and chicken on weekends.

    Was excited to learn there was an Art Smith’s restaurant in DC after eating at his Homecomin’ in Disney Springs. Went with high expectations, but left disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded good, but the food fell flat. Started with the steak and cheese egg rolls and crab dip. The crab dip was good and crostini perfectly prepared. The egg rolls lacked the flavor and were over powered with a doughy taste and texture. Our entrees were the fried chicken, steak frites and chicken sandwich. Both chicken dishes were overly breaded with tiny pieces of chicken under all the coating. The chicken sandwich after the coating had about three bites of chicken. Sandwich bread was good as were the fries. Steak was very tough. Everything was edible, but nothing stood out. Ended with the warm brownie sundae, which was flavorful and a positive note to end on. Our waiter would disappear for long times which was unfortunate and made for a long meal. Highly recommend his Homecomin’ restaurant in Orlando, but this DC restaurant didn’t impress.

    all four of our brunch meals were fabulous. My friend said that the grilled salmon on her salad was the best she'd ever had.
