The dinner appointment was at 10:45 pm even though the kitchen was closed. So we were rushed to order. The host was very nice. An older gentleman. He took his time to seat us. Very respectful. It’s hard to find such nowadays. I made it a point of looking for him to say thank you but he was done with his shift The server was also very nice and respectful Definitely a place to come back to

I had my first date with someone new to the region, and she loved it. It definitely assisted with me being able to get a second date. 🥳 The staff was great also. Thanks.

The restaurant was mostly empty at 7pm on a Friday night. The decor was disjointed. It looked like a night club that put some tables in. The food was small plates, tapas-like but it isn’t marketed that way. I bought a shrimp main dish that had maybe 5 shrimp in with a few peppers and onions. It was not filling. Even with the space mostly empty, our waitress did not regularly check on us. We had to ask for her several times. Also, the waitress did not show the full receipt with gratuity included so she was paid extra and had we (party of 3) not asked for receipts, we would have not know. Experience was not worth the cost.

The waiter notified me that the kitchen prepared my meal incorrectly and was remaking it. By the time my food was brought out my dinner party had finished their dinner. Instead of leaving the plate at the table and comping the meal for the kitchen error, the waiter had an attitude when I said I no longer wanted the meal since my dinner party had shared their meals with me. The waiter returned the plate back to the kitchen, however, the proper way to handle the situation was to comp the entree. Also, a musician was advertised, I guess the musician was done before my 9 PM reservation. The restaurant was sparse with dinner guests which was surprising.

We weren’t sure what to expect due to a couple of bad reviews; however, our experience was excellent and we would not hesitate to go back. Our servers were friendly and attentive. The food was deliciously prepared and very well presented. We had the Octopus as an appetizer, followed by a main course of Chupas de Camarones and the Whole Bronzino. There is something on the menu every for everyone and the prices are very reasonable.

Place was empty and we specifically went to hear the flamenco guitarist who had apparently cancelled and were informed a few minutes before his performance only after food was ordered and arrived. Felt like a trap to be honest. Furthermore, the way we were informed was very cold with no offer to somehow resolve or make up for it. Our party of 10 will not be coming back.

Love the ambiance! The food was good, I had the quarter roasted chicken with potatoes and broccoli and I enjoyed every bite. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday 😁 service was excellent and the staff was amazing. The only reason I didn’t give a five star is because the menu needs more options but they are fairly new so hopefully they will gradually add more options.

I dined at Lima on a Saturday evening but didn't stay for the after party. The food was good. Dark yet beautiful ambiance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive and provided fast, team service. The live DJ started just around 9pm on Saturday evening and added a nice flare to our dessert. Good for date night and large groups. Highly recommended.

Had eaten here when they first opened and was FANTASTIC. DRINKS, food, atmosphere. Prompted my return when I came back to dc. Unfortunately it’s become less than stellar. Mediocre food, bad service and weak cocktails. They do have a lovely wine list. Not terribly robust bit very nice selections. I won’t return.

The unlimited brunch Is not worth it nor is it brunch foods. The menu is chef choice. Plus, I went on New Year’s Day and I felt the food was left overs that was heated up and served. The food is definitely not worth the. Price either! Save your coins and go else where!

Overpriced and way better food options. Definitely feels like club priced dinner. Server didn't know the very small limited menu and kept suggesting things our group had no interest in. Spent $60 on a overcooked ribeye and mashed potatoes. Lesson learned why they're the only spot with open reservations on a Saturday night.
