Nowhere is this connection more profound than in Mexico, where these fungi are deeply woven into spiritual traditions. Creative Director & Facilitator Michael Reginbogin brings this legacy to life through Mexican cuisine, crafting each dish as a chapter in a psychedelic journey.

    Would like to give more stars to this Washington, D.C. institution. Let's start with the positives: Reservation was honored quickly. As promised, perhaps the best view in town. Solid service with attentive follow up. Uh, room for improvement? Drink prices on the high side. $19 for the "Swamp Cooler"? I get it, overhead has to be paid. Food - like the Calamari Shrimp appetizer was overcooked. Calamari should retain some juiciness, not reduced to a cardboard-like consistency. If you have people from out of town - impressive! I live in town and won't likely hurry back.

    the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fish was outstanding — perfectly cooked and seasoned — and the lamb was done to perfection. You can tell they put real care into the ingredients and presentation. The service was attentive throughout the night without being overbearing. This spot definitely holds its own — it reminded us a lot of Milo’s (which we also love). If you enjoy healthy, high-quality meals with great service, I highly recommend giving Lehman a try. A new favorite!
