    They didn’t have bottled water (said they ran out) Didn’t have top shelf tequila (said they ran out) Pasta was horrible, tasted like burnt butter, steak was over cooked. Overall was not a good experience and I was really looking forward to this place because I had heard great reviews. Definitely disappointing!

    Hello, Invy We do want to sincerely apologize for your experience while visiting Jesiree’s over the weekend, while we are not sure where the miss understanding went on between you and the server but all our tequila products are showcase right above the bar, this is not the experience we wish you will encounter and ask if you can give us a call at 202-506-4689 for us to offer another way of accommodating you.

    I hosted a party of 6 and we had a great time. The service staff was very polite and attentive. Drinks were good and the food was very good. The only feedback I’d give is to perhaps decrease the portions for some of the entrees. You get a LOT of food!

    Gone twice for brunch around 1 and 3 pm. Both experiences were pretty good. There were very few customers at the restaurant so it feels like the place is still pretty undiscovered. The mimosa tower was strong. Def not the watered-down version I've had at other places that fill the tower largely with ice. The waitress was attentive but not overbearing, and the music selection was on point. It's all afrobeats, so if this not your taste, don't go. My guest and I were seated one table away from the speaker but were still able to have a conversation comfortably. We made a reservation at 3 but arrives at 3:20. Even though brunch ends at 3, the restaurant still honored us as brunch guests. Looking forward to seeing this place grow.

    The aesthetic was nice. Service was a little too slow for my liking far as checking to see if we needed anything else when I wanted to order dessert but they took so long I was just ready to go. I also had asked for salt when I first got my meal and I never received it and the waiter was just standing by the bar and never returned back. Also the seating was entirely too close

    This was by far the WORST experience I've encountered EVER!!!!! Firstly let me start with the size of the place It's incredibly small for the decor they have set in place. The staff is very very nasty and rude. Now onto my experience the staff made me and my S/O feel very uncomfortable by staring at us the entire time, asked for my ID and card upfront which I've only known bars to do that.. no problem Almost everything we requested on the menu wasn't available ( no salmon no wings, no lobster tail after the server insisted we try the lobster mac?) So we still tried to stick it out because it was a special occasion for us. Get towards the end ask for our bill and to go boxes, the lady that was sitting in the corner watching us the entire night walks over and say she's been informed me and my partner walked out on a bill on Sunday and before she could finish that I started to ask for proof and telling her she has us mistaken and this is our first time in this establishment, she instantly changes her tone and moves away from our table but I'm really upset at this point because she basically profiled us as a young black gay couple No pictures or proof of the accusation... So the server obviously mistaken us for the wrong people( racial profiling) but me not wanting to be the angry black women I confirmed the card they took at the beginning of the night was charged so I can leave. But I want everyone to know please don't waste your time and money here the experience isn't worth it at all. This could have gone a totally different way but I'm learning to not react to everything! DO NOT EAT HERE THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE

    The music was too loud. The server was all over the place . She was dressed in jean shorts and a tee shirt. I thought she was someone who walked in from outside. She kept going outside after the lengthy checks of our table of 2. The calamari was overcooked, over seasoned and hard, with like a Popeyes fried chicken batter. The food options were overpriced with small portions. I ordered the $48 lamb chops (4) medium temperature and they came well done, dry and no sides and the creamed spinach was loose (more watery than creamy). I sent them back. I have no problem with paying for food but it has to be worth it. The poor young lady at the front desk did not know anything about the restaurant. She could not answer anything. I do not like that restaurants are now including gratuity to the bill and service is not good. I am in the service industry and I am very generous with tipping. I will not be returning nor will I recommend to my friends.

    The food was mediocre and overpriced. I left still hungry. Not having an entire dinner entree is insane. Charging extra for sides . $20-$60 for water down drinks . The music seemed like it played on someone phone or pandora because it was commercials.

    I booked Jesiree’s Chop House &Lounge. For my sister 30th birthday dinner for 20 people. My experience here was horrible. They place is nice for pictures and videos but not for eating. Food took 1 and 30 minutes to come out. The food wasn’t seasoned and some came out cold. Other didn’t receive their food due to them running out of what was ordered. When we tried to take some items off the bill due to it not being good the manger had a very mean attitude towards us. I will not be returning to Jesiree’s Chop House &Lounge. I did not go down stairs to the Lounge area so I can not comment on that part of the place. They were nice enough to let me bring my sisters cake in a sing happy birthday. The sitting for us was nice and we all sat together. The sangria and  mimosa tower were nice (price to high for them tho ).

    My wife and I decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary at this restaurant after seeing an IG post. 1) The restaurant is located in busy Adam's Morgan, so be prepared for parking challenges; however, I was able to locate a garage across the street from the establishment. 2) First impression, the ambiance of the establishment was vibrant. Nicely decorated. Music was a little too loud for dining. 3) Menu - A lot of food options listed; however, several items were out of stock. Prices were largely inflated. Everything is A la carte and no meals. Appetizers such as shrimp cocktails were $25. Steaks were roughly around $55-60 dollars. Drinks were $12-20 for cocktails. 4) Customer service was ok. Had a waiter that was helpful; although, he didn't understand what we were asking of him. Service was a little on the slower side. 5) Food! We ordered a 40oz tomahawk steak. It was absolutely amazing! Seasoned perfectly and rightfully so, being that it costs $170 alone. My wife and I shared the steak and both were impressed by the taste. Overall, the food was veryyyy very pricey, but tasty. Would we go back a 2nd time? Probably not. Simply because for the price you are paying. The expectations are much greater than what's being offered in this establishment.

    The experience was just not the best. This is not somewhere that I would recommend to anyone. The kitchen staff took a while to get our order out and there were only 4 people in the restaurant. My soda was served out of a 2 liter which means it was flat! I was just not satisfied with the experience. I am not one to tear down small businesses as to I myself owning a business, however a number of things would have to change before I would ever patronize this business again.

    I must say it is beautiful inside and the vibes are definitely there, but is a little pricey for how mediocre it is. From my experience I don’t recommend going at dinner time, as for brunch I’m sure it’s fun and I’m sure it’s worth it.

    Beautiful new restaurant and they have some work to do. The furniture is lovely and comfortable but the space was too small for the furniture. Tables had to be moved for my guests to get into the booth. Music in the dining area was way too loud. Service was very slow. For a Saturday evening the location was not full but kitchen staff was still very slow. Also a lot of dishes were not available and there was no communication from the kitchen to the waitress. I wish they would’ve told us up front the bill could not be split for the simi large party I had. Only two waitresses for the dining area and they tried their best. My experience was not horrible and it’s possible they may have just been having a rough night. I will give Jesiree’s a second attempt in the future.

    Came to celebrate my 30th birthday. When being seated there were people already sitting in my section. I made my large party reservation weeks before the date requested. They politely asked them to move so I let that slide. Service was decent but our drinks took forever and food took around 45 minutes to come out. The DJ had a large speaker right beside our tables so we had to communicate through sign language. Wouldn’t recommend until I knew they fixed these issues.

    Birthday dinner The food, the ambiance, the service was terrible. The food was dry and tasteless, steak was made without asking how we wanted it made. This is my first time going out and out food is made before getting there or whatever. I feel embarrassed taking my friends there cos I know they did not enjoy food or anything from there. The utensil was dirty drinks took long to come and was horrible. If we paying $2k I’m and my friends should have a swell and lovely time.

    The ribeye steak was amazing. The calamari was plentiful and delicious. The waitstaff were attentive and very pleasant. The roasted Brussels sprouts were very good and not greasy which is often the case. What was not so good was the cleanliness. The bathroom was dirty. Some of our wine glasses were dirty and underneath our table was dirty. Unfortunately because of this we probably won’t return.

    Went here with friends to celebrate my birthday. The ambiance was absolutely amazing right along with the service however the menu & bar is lacking. This appears to be a fairly new establishment so I do understand trial & error. The space is tight w/ 3 levels, the upper level accommodates larger parties, the middle level accommodates average size parties & there’s a cute lounge downstairs. This place is definitely a vibe with lots of potential!

    The restaurant is very small with tables less than 5 inches apart. Cheaply decorated with the dreaded green wall and neon light sign. Once you get over that disappointment you’re then asked to hand over your license and credit card to hold while you dine. I’m sorry but this reeks of potential identity theft and fraud. Why do you need to hold my personal and financial information in order to dine?! If the establishment is scared of dine and dashes or complaints regarding the tab then you’re in the wrong business. Unnecessary dress code and fraudulent activities….do not dine here!!! Racist tactics!

    We didn't have a very pleasant experience from the start to the finish. We were told that because there have been a lot of skip outs on the checks, I was told that I needed to give my ID and my credit card for the entire dining time as a tab. The service staff was semi responsive but not attentive to detail. Our water order, the first order was incorrect. Our wait attendee did not seem very experienced and was not on the same page with the servers. We ordered the lamb chops cooked to medium temperature and the turkey wings. The lamb chops came out well done and the turkey wings which are labeled as a small plate but priced like an entree were actually the same somehow and weren't seasoned at all. The chops were good but we sent them back because they were overcooked and crispy. The waitress didn't seem too enthused by this and became even shorter with her attentiveness than before. The ambience of the restaurant is nice and lavish. The noise was a bit high for me but I know some people don't mind that. I was not happy that the gratuity was auto allocated with such an unpleasant experience. When I think of a chophouse, I do not think of experiences like the one I was privy to this evening. I hope they are able to improve as a newer brand.

    Party began arriving and table was not ready nor were they ready to begin serving us. Once full party arrived, we waited another 15 minutes for waitress to greet us. Took another 30 minutes for us to receive 2 drinks out of the 8 ordered. Waitress informed us they didn’t have many food options, as they were sold out. Waitress then went to confirm something with the kitchen, once she returned she said we can put any order in and they should have the item but she’s not sure. About 5 minutes after this, the manager came upstairs and informed us they would not be able to serve us due to the kitchen being either closed or out of food. Worst dc restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Would never recommend, heavy training needs to be conducted at this location, ruined my girls birthday. Had to book an alternative late night eats spot. Luckily, They were able to accommodate our large party immediately and service there was stellar. Really had high hopes for Jesiree’s, but it was a huge miss.

    It’s very hard to judge the food. We waited for 1.5 hours for our food. We didn’t get some items that we ordered. The server was blamed for the orders not getting out in correctly. I was really excited about taking a friend out for her birthday and now I feel bad because it was ruined. I really hope they get things organized
