    We went for brunch and never received our food or drinks after an hour of waiting. Our waitress said the bar had too many orders and they were having trouble remembering customers drinks because they were short staffed. The couple next to me never received their food or drinks either and ended up leaving with us after having to wait so long. My guests came from out of town and we went here because a friend recommended it. I was extremely embarrassed after the poor customer service and restaurant forgetting our brunch and drink order.

    Nice rooftop bar but for the price and the amount of time we had to wait on our food, it simply is not worth it. The place was not crowded at all when my friend and I arrived, yet we still waited over half an hour for our food. They also seated us towards the corner of the restaurant, while there were other tables with much nicer views of the Capitol, rather than the Whole Foods across the street.

    What you call energetic I call noisy Service was terrible. I had to get a water pitcher from another table to refill our glasses. Our drinks glasses sat empty on the edge of our table and no one noticed. Food is not worth the price We appreciate good service when we see it, and tip 22-25 % regardless of the color of our server. But we were the only white people in the place. All other customers and all of staff were black. Can’t help but wonder if we were discriminated against.

    The host initially gave a little attitude regarding the reservation mix up. The restaurant was empty and had plenty of open seating. I had to go make another reservation on the spot to be moved to indoor seating. Once seated inside, our server Mekaya was very good. She was engaged, attentive, and made sure we are okay at all times. The was ok. The view the was great.

    Went for my boyfriend’s birthday. The ambiance was very nice and intimate. The music was loud enough to drown our conversation from others but it was too loud to hear our waiter sometimes. The food was very good and the portions were a good size and well worth the cost. Our drinks were strong, so my guess is that this place pulls in a lot of customers for happy hour. I would totally recommend this place to friends and come back myself for the service, food, and city views!

    Had dinner res on the random, 80-degree February day: rooftop and view are quite nice! Inside and out were very busy—safe to expect this on any given nice weather day. (Note: outdoor deck tables are FCFS and don’t turn quickly so go with managed expectations if you arrive before 8pm) Food was great (deviled eggs, wings, burger); drinks were “DC/hotel” pricey. Vibe was nice: great music with professional, mature-ish crowd.

    The noise level was perfect. We had a 5:00 pm reservation. The background music is noticeable but not distracting. I love the look of the space. I love that most green features are natural. The staff was great but she would be gone for awhile before checking on us. I am used to dining in establishments that never allow your water glass to go empty, however, on more than one occasion I had to wait extended periods of time to request water refills. But I have been here twice and I think this was just a one off because the last time I dined here, my waiter was far more attentive. I ordered the same summer squash with risotto and it was very good. Next time I will try a new dish. So many great options to choose from.

    Walking in for our reservation staff was very nice and attentive. We were seated quickly and our table was cute. Our server gave us water and our table was set with plates. He started off great, and the service slowly got worse and worse. We ordered cocktails and apps, received our apps before our drinks, and had no flatware. We waited for a moment, then the manager brought some to us. We shortly got our drinks after that, but then were not checked on from our server to order entrees for at least 15 minutes. We ordered entrees and tried to order another round of cocktails but some ingredients were unavailable so we could not order the drinks on the menu. The salmon dish was dry, and I was served a chicken wing on my Caesar salad(odd, but I mean chicken? Also very salty). Our server did not come to check on us after we received our entree, and we just wanted our check to leave. Too bad about the food, because the vibe was definitely there! Apps were good, Brussels and deviled eggs, but entrees were unimpressive. Will return only for the drinks and ambience.

    The environment and view are perfect. The food was fine but the service made me think as if they're understaffed, it took almost 20 minutes for my friend and I to have a server come to our table. The napkins provided to us were wet, they weren't dripping wet but they wet. I asked but everytime I tried to clean my mouth it felt like I was passing a humid towel on my mouth. Staff was also disorganized, they brought two salads that we never ordered to our table and it took other 15 minutes to find someone that could remove them for our table. Servers were kind and tried their best to make us feel comfortable but unfortunately that was enough for us. I've been to a lot of restaurants but I have never seen napkins that are wet, not even at humble places so I was pretty shocked. The food was okay, they brought our entrée before our appetizer which took like perhaps 20 more minutes to arrive. I also asked for mayonnaise for my fries, by the time the brought it to my table. I was done with my fries. I recommend this place if you're trying to get drinks from the bar and experience the view from the rooftop but other than that, sadly their service wasn't to what we are used to. Servers and managers are kind but they should really fix this understaffed situation.

    I want to love this venue but Smoke & Mirrors just cannot hit the right notes. This is my third experience and each experience has been relatively the same. First, I am not asked where I would like to sit -- no matter how many people are in the venue. For this most recent lunch, they gave my party a view of a freeway behind a huge concrete column. The times before were worse. Second, service is painfully slow. It took at least 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. After that, it took 20 minutes to get our drinks. Thereafter, they took our order. When the food arrived, another 20 minutes later, my order was not delivered. I reminded the delivery person (not the person who took my order) we were still waiting on another item. Then, the original server came back and said they were out of the item I had ordered. This is *after* the food for the rest of the party had been delivered. To correct this issue, the server asked me if I would like something else. In order for me to figure this out, I would have to scan the QR code and look through the menu. Instead, the server should have made some suggestions. Eventually, because I did not want to hold everyone up, I just asked for fries with pico. I also took the opportunity to order another margarita. My first margarita came with black salt. The second one, which again took 20 minutes to arrive, did not have the salt. Each margarita was $20 and I was charged $14 for my fries. If S&M had covered one of my drinks or the fries, I would likely not write this review. But, after three tries, I conclude this venue's service is subpar and overpriced. I am not saying to stay away ... just saying, be prepared for a long, expensive, and substandard experience.

    I would not recommend this place for a valentines date. It’s ideal for drinks only. The V-day menu was terrible! Nothing but the lamb chops on the menu caught my taste. Not everyone eats seafood!!! I’m not sure who thought of this menu but it was a terrible decision on their end. We ordered 2 appetizers the chicken sandwich and mumbo wings which took 1 hour and 40 mins to get to us… I will say the manager who spoke with my Gf was very respectful and kind. Heard her out and actually took the food off our bill which was a nice gesture. It was the right thing to do so 5 star on the manager. I didn’t get the name but he was a Hispanic male. I’m rating this off of a V-day experience. We ended up going to pink taco to eat after.

    This was my first time at this restaurant, and unfortunately it was not all that great. the waiter we had was great but the food was very mediocre and very over priced we came for valentines weekend the menu was closed off and only had a $95 each 5 course meal that absolute did not have good choices to choose from ( it was two different options you can pick from within the course meal ) . it was stated a-lot of people were upset that the $95 was the only option so they decided to add a couple other options (with no sides included) if you didn't want to do the $95 which was chicken sandwich, four jumbo shrimp, tuna, four oyster. So me and significant other chose the chicken sandwich and four jumbo shrimp our total came out to $61. i will put it like this if your coming here to eat good for a fear price this is not the place.

    The service was great and experience was nice. Unfortunately, the food did not match the service.

    We had a reservation and thru didn't tell us until we got to the restaurant that they were only serving a special dinner $95 pp. That's fine but the problem was you don't get to pick what you want. It's a pre-made menu

    Smoke and Mirrors - DCResponded on February 13, 2023Dear AlMed, I'm very sorry that you did not enjoy our menu options and that it was not properly communicated during the reservation process that our menu would be limited. We strive to provide a pleasant dining experience, so I regret that we let you down. We appreciate your feedback and hope to better serve you on a return visit. Sincerely, Restaurant Management

    This is an amazing place to go for good food and drinks. The staff was wonderful and very knowledgeable about their menu. To top it off the view of the city is great.

    Went for brunch and it was just okay. The drinks were overpriced. The house bloody lacked any unique qualities for $20. The French toast came out in massive slices of brioche and there were issues with the cook - the middle sections were soggy. The potatoes had good flavor but were over cooked. The bacon was delightful however.

    Smoke and Mirrors - DCResponded on January 31, 2023Dear JustOkay, We aim to impress, so I'm sorry that your brunch experience was just okay. Your comments, which highlight our successes and areas for improvement, are welcomed as they foster change for the better.
