   I’ve been to Hell’s Kitchen many times and this was the first time I’ve ever had to look around for my server. Once we were seated, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table to even acknowledge us. This is unacceptable for someone we are now being forced to pay a 20% surcharge for, in addition to gratuity. The service here is normally A1.

   First time experience with Hells Kitchen DC at the Wharf for my wedding anniversary. Waitstaff were professional and accommodating; the menu was limited and the roasted chicken was horrible! However, a young sous chef named Ryan Johnson saved the date - my chicken entree was replaced with a savoring 8oz filet mignon seared to perfection with the best spinach side! We would revisit Hells Kitchen, probably for lunch as the lunch menu appears more appealing. Definitely don’t plan to penny pinch in this restaurant either!

   We visited for our anniversary. The experience was well done. Our server was top notch. The food was nice and delicious but it was the strangest thing, everything was luke warm despite looking hot. For example, the meatball appetizer came out on an extremely hot plate but the meatballs themselves were barely warm. Despite being able to see the kitchen and know everything is being cooked, I just couldn’t figure out why everything was just barely warm. The scallops were a little gritty and again, just above cold, the entrees were also just warm, not like hot out of the oven. The hottest thing we ate was the dessert. It was a one of a kind experience but one and done.

   As usual Hells Kitchen delivered another excellent meal. Gail our server as always gave great suggestions and made the evening exceptional. If you haven’t tried the beef Wellington make it your next choice when you come here

   I’m visiting from Austin. The food was sub par as I was expecting quality food coming with such high prices. The food seemed reheated and not fresh. 6.5

    We had a fantastic time here for our 10th anniversary celebration! This is the 3rd time we have returned to this restaurant. The staff was so attentive. The food was delicious and that is why we chose to come back to Hell’s Kitchen. They know how to give you a beautiful experience and the food is top notch. I had the Lobster risotto and later the braised ribs. It was so delicious. We both topped it off with the toffee pudding. We both enjoyed our evening and it gave us the perfect feeling for 10yrs together! Every bite is scrumptious!!
