    Food was not as good as expected. Honestly, for what I paid, I wish I went somewhere else.

    I have been to Jônt no less than nine times. Yes the food is incredible. Yes the experience is amazing. Yes the wine pairings are spectacular. But what keeps brining me back are the people. They have, in my opinion, the single greatest staff I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. The kindness, humor, joy, and passion that Jônt brings to each and every service genuinely gives me hope in humanity. They not only fill my stomach but my heart with warmth and happiness.

    Outstanding dinner...Jont definitely deserves its 2 Michelin stars. Food was out-of-this world. Service 1st class. And unique experience eating at the counter over the cooking. 6 chefs/assistant chefs and 6 managers for 17 guests. Hard to beat. Jont is a must-do when you're in DC.

    We came here on our anniversary weekend. The staff from star to finish was incredible. Throughout the night they added personalized touches to help us celebrate. The food was incredible as well. The team of chefs did not disappoint. Blending together an amazing multi course experience that leaves you dying to come back.

    Really incredible all around, the food and drinks were all amazing and the staff were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It got a bit loud at times and was hard to hear our servers explain the dishes, and it was very cold in the dining room, but everything else was outstanding and we definitely hope to be back soon.
