Lovely place but service seemed somewhat chaotic and very slow. There were no menus available when we arrived, it took 40 mins to get a drink and an out to get just the appetizer. But we still had a lovely time

Valentine’s Day. It was the day after since we had an obligation on the day of. The service was excellent. It was very quiet and inviting. Since there was a private party in the dining room, I was asked if I would like to have a high top table in the bar. I suppose they realized that The look on my face said that I hadn’t made a reservation 4-5 weeks in advance to have a high top table in the bar. So they found a booth in the bar. We had a nice time and would definitely go back.

Prix Fix meal. Gourmet menu Top Chef brought in for Valentine’s Day No warning about the $85 menu with no other alternative Food was truly delicious There were two full main courses The amount of food was excellent but the first course was very filling and the second course was the same. Maybe a lighter first course and a richer second course I congratulated the chef through our waiter.

Valentines Night Dinner. Great overall, but service was a bit slower. My cocktail came to the table really late, but everything else was pretty prompt. Server seems to be pulled in too many directions to really handle his area. lovely overall- can’t wait to come back this summer!

We had a pretty simple lunch: french onion soup, french fries and creamed spinach. They were all delicious!!!! The perfect lunch and exactly what we wanted. Service was impecable! Everything about this restaurant was enjoyable. Kind of a cool place in what's probably a strip mall? Worth every minute and every penny. YUM!

Experienced the new menu. Very good. Really enjoyed the "upgraded" dining experience. Just what Potomac needs. Will go back more often now. Before just a place to eat, now a more thoughtful, pleasing menu. Thanks.

My family and I always enjoy Lock 72. The food is of very good quality, the ambiance is comfortable casual and it has a warm neighborhood feel to it. It is a DC quality restaurant without the hassle of going into DC.

Chose Lock 72 for a business lunch appointment. Service was outstanding, food was very good. Had the chicken club sandwich and it was quite good. Will definitely return in the future.
