    Server was sweet when she was there but she was rarely there. We had to get up from the table to find her three times. Felt very ignored. Food was good. Drinks were too. Would return - maybe they were short staffed?

    My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. Everything was phenomenal! While waiting for our table, we were approached to see if we wanted to order drinks, which is nice because who likes to wait empty-handed. Once seated, we had the BEST server, Felipe, who gave us an incredible dining experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu, which helped us make our selection quicker. We ordered the izakaya which was so worth it. Felipe went into detail with each course which made the expereicne more special. Not to mention, the food was delicious!

    This was my second time at Wren, and it was better than the first experience. Our server was amazing with giving recommendations for both cocktails and food. Knowing we were going to a show at Capital One Hall after dinner, he also did a great job pacing our table and making sure we got out in time for the show. We tried several dishes, but the Short Ribs were amazing, and I'd go back just for those. This is a great place for sharing dishes.

    The place is beautiful with a great view. The noise level was pretty low so I’m was easy to have conversations. Cocktail menu had a very interesting assortment, we each had something different and I had the one with lychee which was delicious. We ordered several small plates and reordered a few. Yellowtail carpaccio, tuna tartar, Brussels sprouts salad, scallops tartar, Temaki, all were excellent! Finished off with mochi donuts. We will definitely return!

    It wasn't easy to figure out the parking and entrance because the Capital One Hall is an enormous complex, and the restaurant, which is also the hotel lobby/lounge area is equally huge so I was a bit concerned that it'd would be noisy... but the noise levels were reasonable (especially given that it's such a big space), the service was top-notch (Mike was great!), and the drinks and food was excellent. It wasn't a cheap girls' night out, but it was well worth it! Starting with the end of the meal - the mochi donuts were amazing! We also enjoyed the octopus (tho' the roasted beets in the dish were the star!), the black cod was luscious and tender, the brussels sprouts and the mixed wild mushrooms were amazing, and the chicken karaage was also great! Will definitely make a return visit!

    I loved everything about the place. It was easy to get to. Directions in the lobby area are clear. The staff were all friendly. Our waitress accurately described the cuisine style and made great recommendations. The Decor is modern. I loved the seating options. The ambiance felt rich. Music was playing at a good volume. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Each dish that we tried was unique in its presentation. I wish I would’ve tried more drinks. One was my max. I am definitely going again!

    What a great dinner experience! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Wren and couldn't have been more happy with the experience. My wife and I have some dietary restrictions and the Wren staff worked with us to customize the menu to fit our needs. We had the Izakaya and the food (and mixed drinks) were so good! Can't wait to come back again!

    Filipe took great care of us. He was attentive, but not constantly checking on us. Food was very good. We shared the beet salad, corn tempura, Tokyo chicken, and Wagyu burger and fries. From other reviews we thought that might not be enough. We were wrong. Totally filled us up. All was very tasty. Fairly reasonably priced. The drinks are another thing. Wine by the glass and draft Kirin was a little expensive. Filipe did comp us one glass of wine since it was our first time there. All in all a great experience.

    We got seated by the entrance, where the waitress went in and out of the kitchen to pick up the food. The traffic can be annoying, but besides that, the food we ordered was all pretty good. The Tokyo chicken was tasty and in a good portion, and the mushrooms were good but a little oily. I like the miso ramen; that’s probably my favorite for the night; the burger was just ok, perhaps because I was too full already

    My experience didn't start out well at Wren, as there were no tables available, although I had a reservation. When I was finally seated, the service, cocktails and cuisine made iup for the rocky start. Our server, Kevin was amazing and so was the DJ. I live in DC proper and this was my first time visiting Wren. I had been looking forward to this night, for a while. I plan to come again, and bring more friends! Kevin is a superstar!

    First of all, the food and the work of art put into it bc the chef speaks for itself. With that said, when I made the reservation online and noted that it was our daughter’s birthday and that the restaurant was her favorite, we did not expect for them to have decorated the table so lavishly with balloons and flowers. They treated her so special and she kept gushing and thanking them for making her day. At one point, the balloon popped off of the weight and into the ceiling and literally within two minutes, there was a team out with a ladder - that’s how attentive they were! The manger made sure that we were welcomed, JeeHo was such an attentive, knowledgeable server, and hats off to the well trained staff overall because we were never in need or want for a clean utensil, the pre-bus job was always prompt, the food was amazing and the service and experience was so memorable. It was team effort executed at its finest.

    I thought this would be a dining destination at capital one center … but it’s just a hotel lobby restaurant. Clearly I set my own expectations too high and didn’t do my research. Worth the cocktails. Not much else. The smell of seared meats (at your table via a mini grill) fills the air and if you sit close to a table who has ordered the meal, you feel like you’re wearing that odor home. Pescatarians and vegetarians will find this repulsive. Small plates were hit and miss. - scallops lacked flavor. Best thing was the ramen…. And the cocktails. Sadly will not be back unless the place gets better ventilation and they add some decor that makes you feel in an actual restaurant vs just eating next to the hotel lobby bar.

    I found another review that explained that Wren is essentially situated like a fancy open-air hotel bar where there’s a good amount of foot traffic nearby very helpful. There was a lot going on (e.g., a group of kids taking pre-hoco photos nearby, a family playing pool) but that didn’t distract the staff who were prompt and very courteous. Food is small plate style but was served quickly and was delicious. Drinks excellent too.

    The food was first rate across the board, expecially the Tokyo chicken. Only concern with the food is that the portion of black cod was on the small side. BUT, the noise level in the dinning room was uncomfortably loud....some mix of people chatter at a high level and background music accelerating the pain. Only thing that saved the night was the ability to dine on the outdoor terrace, and that was almost messed up by a rock band pounding away on the adjacent patio. Fortunately, after about 20 minutes of banging away the band quieted down.

    The bar had run out of multiple spirits that I requested. I ordered wagyu and when it arrived, the hot stone turned cold quickly. The manager came after 15 minutes of waiting and said he will refill our half cooked meat with fresh ones and a new stone and free dessert. A new stone arrived but no new meat, that stone turned cold after 5 minutes again and no new meat came. At this point it had been over 30 minutes of waiting around and we told the server that we just want the bill as we were over waiting and had lost our appetite. I was charged for the full amount of the wagyu that I never received technically as the half cooked meat from the original order was taken away from us and never refilled. when the bill came with the manager ignoring us and walking the other direction. This was not the server’s problem at all as all tables were booked but there were 2-3 servers only. Very disappointed to be treated this way by the manager and ignored afterwards. Never going back.
