    It is very loud, even outside. The food is overpriced. Just to give you an idea, for lunch, a dozen oysters is $10 cheaper than at dinner. Not sure how that works since it is the same stock. I had the crabcakes, they were very good, but very small. And for $45, it was overpriced. You can pick up a meal of 2 crabcakes for $50 at 2 other restaurants that will remain nameless and they are so packed full that it is at least 2 meals worth of crab. They had a market price of $75 for their lobster. That is $50 per lb... Overall, the service was very good (not GREAT) and the food was very good (not to die for). So we will not be going back unless there is more value in the meal. Not looking for cheap, but worth it would be nice. There are other fine dining establishments that have better value. And yes, I would still recommend the restaurant, however, just realize the lack in value

    If you don't have a hearty appetite then the amount for the buffet is overpriced. I didn't know that I could get warm crab leg until I finished the chilled ones. Should has smaller pieces of chicken like legs and wings. Everything else was great.

    The atmosphere was very nice and service was great. The menu is limited and the food tasted good but not great. The only thing I highly recommend is the angus steak, which was one of the best I’ve ever had.

    My best friend from HS was in town and we ate the tapas brunch at Sequoia on a beautiful Saturday morning. Our server Michael could not have been better! He was professional, attentive, and friendly throughout our meal. We ate outside with gorgeous views of the Potomac. The food was exceptional, and we tried several items on the tasting menu. Our drinks were delicious and we never wanted to leave that perfect atmosphere! Sequoia definitely deserves an A+ all around!

    I went with my two boys for dinner and after waiting 45 minutes for our meal my short ribs and potatoes were cold with no sauce and one of my sons filet was lukewarm. They did replace the short ribs but by the time I received it back everyone was done eating. $350 for a below par meal and service.

    We sat in an area where the waiters had to retrieve their setting of flatware and sat near a smelly trash can. The waiter dropped the flatware in my seat and on my dress. We were sitting outside, but in a space not conducive for the Mother's Day my husband had planned for me. The food was not satisfying and the waiter stated, "You have to finish your mean in (2) hours." We hadn't even order yet. I was displeased and will not visit this place again. The hype from others is not what I expected and will not refer anyone here. This place must have changed since the pandemic! Unsatisfied Customer Stephanie Lyon-Jones

    The food was great especially the cheese grits and the waffles. I took my mom her for Mother's day. The service was great. My waiter was funny and explain everything to us great. I love the omelet station. They have everything you need to but in your omelet. My mom enjoyed her crab cakes and salmon. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, great music playing and a great view of the river.

    Based on reading the reviews, my expectations were higher. The decor felt cold and the food was good but not great. The service was very attentive. Note to the bar, when you serve a martini the martini glass shouldn’t be three quarters full. Use a smaller glass, it comes off cheap

    This is a consistently good restaurant, whose quality of food has recently improved considerably. When the outdoor patio is operational, there is a good balance between indoor and outdoor patrons; otehrwise, it can get very noisy. The view of Potomac and Kennedy Center at brunch is spectacular.

    We had reservation at 1:15 for Saturday brunch. Brunch is over at 2L30. We ordered everything off the menu when we arrived and even had an opportunity to order again. Food came out quickly. Champagne glasses were never emptied. I highly recommend. I would suggest having reservations no later than 12 noon. Sunday's brunch is even better.
