A good experience from beginning to end. Very grateful that the environment was conducting to conversation as we were celebrating the visit of an old friend. For some reason, the restaurant wasn’t busy on a Saturday. Hard not to interpret as ominous. Food was very good, Seemed pretty traditional but nicely flavored, fresh and prepared to perfection. I had the ducks, which was crisp in the outside, succulent on the inside and nicely complimented by the braised cabbage. Craft cocktails were excellent and packed a welcome wallop. Would definitely recommend Corduroy. It filled an essential niche with grace and skill.

The food was, as always, tasty. The tuna and duck confit were both solid, as was the tuna tartare, and the tarte tatin for dessert--those stood out. The service was okay but discombobulated--there were some long gaps between courses that would have been nice to have shorter. Still, the restaurant is worthy of your patronage.

We had the tasting menu. The proteins were expertly cooked. Tuna tartar with micro-greens was visually stunning. Red snapper on hijiki sushi rice, a signature dish at Corduroy, is a must. Service was gracious and discrete. One of the absolute best winelists in DC.

Been here several times. Spans a couple of years. Always good quality service and food. Sometimes a little noisy but that is minor in the scope of the overall review. We usually return a couple of times during our business outings. Highly recommended for any occasion.

Hidden Gem I'm so glad I tried. I will be back. The food and everything was amazing and the wine list was outstanding. I wish I lived in DC as this would be a regular hangout. I generally go to the same place when I visit but so glad I tried something new. Best dinner of my trip. See you soon!!

This is a must try place. We had the 5 course chef selection and it was excellent. The ambiance is excellent. The feel is of a converted brownstone with a mix of modern and old American. The food is artistically prepared and has familiar choices with just enough uniqueness. Nothing was bland but well flavored with layers. I recommend this restaurant for everyone. BTW, I am very hard on reviews and give very few good ones

It’s been years since we’ve been to Corduroy and it’s just as special as we remembered. I took my wife here when we were dating and this occasion was for our 12th anniversary. Wonderful service and the food was absolutely delicious. Lots of complex flavors and textures across our plates. Good sized portions and lovely cocktails. I absolutely recommend for any occasion.

Excellent value for a five course tasting menu. Will return again. Staff is a little-green, and have to make all the cocktails (no bartender). Chef pairs classic French technique with local ingredients. Some misses on incorporation of asian-inspired flavors, but overall excellent dishes. Did not try the a'la carte menu, but options looked tasty. Glad to see they survived the pandemic!

Corduroy has been a favorite for years and in this first visit after the pandemic it did not disappoint. The food was creative and delicious. Our servers were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and wine choices. It was also a nice, quiet and relaxing spot for a sophisticated and intimate dinner. Overall a lovely time. We've tried a few of the newer, buzzy restaurants in DC recently, and have to say that Corduroy is a very favorable value in comparison -- better and more consistent and not too expensive in comparison.
