Rooster & Owl Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Had an amazing dinner last night.
The hostess was so nice as we were running late due to an Uber snafu. Our server, Oliver, was SO kind and patient. Did a great job of explaining any questions we had about the menu and provided wonderful suggestions. Every thing we ate was so wonderful. Flavor combinations were amazing. My favorites were the English Pea Rangoon and the Cod. The also surprised us with champagne for our anniversary! Such a nice touch to make our night out even more special. The bread service before the meal and the financier cookie at the end were the cherry on top. Every person we encountered throughout the night was wonderful (especially Oliver) and can't wait until our next time here.
Okay this place absolutely deserved their Michelin star.
Not only was everything prepared well and aesthetically pleasing, they were also really creative with their dishes, which I don't always see. The dishes were all texturally complex as well. It's one of those places that starts off solid but gets progressively better with each dish. Would recommend to anyone visiting DC and I'd love to come here again. Mocktails were well crafted. Their starter bread is a play off pineapple buns, and were so warm and fluffy. Started off with the BBQ carrots with "cornbread" appetizer, which was yummy with some fun flavors. Tuna carpaccio was good but didn't stand out to me like some of the other dishes. For our second course, I loved the scallion naan and thought the accompanying dip paired perfectly. My least favorite dish of the night was probably the white asparagus--lot of components going on there but I didn't think the end product really came together. Now on to the highlights-- mains and dessert. Lamb was so, so tender and the morels stuffed with foie gras were very creative and absolutely delicious. The cod also was legitimately one of the tenderest, most buttery pieces of fish I've ever had (it's very rare for me to see cod prepared so well). Desserts were absolutely stellar. Got the chocolate cremeux (perfect mix of chocolate, espresso, and salted caramel flavors) and the hummingbird cake, which may be one of my favorite desserts I've gotten in a restaurant ever (think carrot cake but like, better, and the flavors were so tropical and fun!).
I can see why the tire company gave this place a star!
I can see why the tire company gave this place a star! Rooster & Owl definitely lived up to the hype, with an amazing prix fixe menu that left my tastebuds in awe. Rather than going through dish by dish, I'll try to focus on some themes. The proteins in the dishes were all cooked to perfection. The cod was my favorite, with consistent temperature throughout the entire piece. It practically melted off my fork with each bite. The scallops were equally amazing, and so was the braised rib in the tortellini. Flavors were jumping off the plate, and varied widely from course to course. The BBQ carrots were so zesty, and the tuna tartare was bursting with citrus. Then the scallops were a nice contrast, served up in a smooth, creamy sauce. The menu felt like a journey from dish to dish, and I enjoyed every step along the way. Finally, the desserts were great. I feel like after a great meal, desserts might be an afterthought. Not so at Rooster & Owl. The pavlova was unreal, a nice crispy puff with a creamy center, and lots of fruit flavor. The cheesecake was a perfect blend of salty and sweet. This is one of those meals that will keep me happy for quite some time, definitely worth a splurge for a nice meal in DC!
Watch the Steps Hidden Behind the Black Curtain When
Watch the Steps Hidden Behind the Black Curtain When Entering!!! On March 5th, we reserved a table for dinner at Rooster & Owl to celebrate a birthday. We were off to a good start finding free parking along the south side of Meridian Hill Park, a short walk on an unseasonably pleasant evening. But that good fortune quickly ended when upon entering my wife fell on the two little steps hidden by a pair of black curtains that customers must part in order to enter. She was injured by the fall. There was a sign pinned to the curtain about "a step", but there are two steps and they are hidden, unlit, and located immediately beyond the curtain, a textbook tripper. Does Michelin the tire company that introduced grippy radial steel belted tires to the US in the late 1960s, consider how one needs that extra Michelin-like grip when entering the Rooster and Owl? It should. After this accident, we proceeded with the meal. It was excellent as was the service. 5 star stuff in our opinion. I no longer drink wine, so it was nice for me to find an upscale restaurant offering a DC Brau Pilsner on tap. The tripping injury and pain that lingered for over a week, left an unfortunate aftertaste to the dining experience for all three of us. Therefore, we have awarded a single star in our review, because there is no excuse for any public restaurant entryway that is primed or designed to operate like a deliberate tripping device. And Rooster and Owl does not present itself as just any DC public restaurant. It justifiably presents as a great restaurant. It also seems that the GWU and Columbia University masters degrees earned by the owner Carey, should have informed her better about causes of slips and falls in pubic places, especially obvious ones.
I'm lactose intolerant, and would not recommend this
I'm lactose intolerant, and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who has that or any other type of food sensitivity or allergy. While the food I was able to eat was delicious, it wasn't at all what I wanted, and there is no effort to adjust the menu to accommodate. I can accept that; they are dedicated to their menu, and the chef's vision for the meals is realized well. Just don't expect to look at the menu and be able to eat what you want with changes in preparation. This restaurant is "culinarily frigid". I knew I was in trouble when the gentleman in the suit who was serving bread and drinks started off by saying, "I feel sorry for the person who is lactose intolerant at this table..." Not exactly the way to make me or anyone else feel welcome, and look forward to the meal. I spent a LOT (I repeat...a LOT!!!) of money on a meal I didn't want. And I feel as though the restaurant collectively said, "you're welcome..."...??? Yeah...not going back.
I don't remember the names of the dishes but each one had
I don't remember the names of the dishes but each one had superb flavor. The standout were the desserts. There were 2 small slices of tangerine which accompanied the white one on the right and each slice was incredibly juicy - not sure how they do that but wow! Service was attentive, fun and the restaurant vibe was easygoing. There's street parking right outside the restaurant but you have to arrive early to get a spot.
We came here back in August when we were in Washington DC
We came here back in August when we were in Washington DC visiting family. We decided to treat ourselves to a date night and it did not disappoint. We both did the pre fixed and both got different dishes so we could try more things. The food was delicious. We also both got the wine pairing which elevated the experience for a Michelin star. It was nice and laid back for the type of restaurant it is. Service was impeccable as well! We will be back next time we're in the area
Wonderful dinner experience at Rooster and Owl.
My partner and I visited on a weeknight and tried the tasting menu. Everything was delicious and we especially loved the short rib tortellini. R&O was sensitive to my partner's shellfish allergy, clearly noting the dishes with shellfish and confirming what was shellfish free as it was presented to our table. The cocktails were delicious and service was 10/10.
Love this place! The service is great and we thoroughly
Love this place! The service is great and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. If I had one qualm, it's that sometimes there's a wait between courses so just be prepared to be there for at least 2 hours. Regardless, it's worth going! Our faves: First Course - Beets: I loved these, but I overall like beets and it didn't disappoint - Carrots: I didn't love these but most other people said they were one of their faves so I would just get them Second Course - Potato: Probably our favorite thing we ate, just get it. It's like the best baked potato you'll have - Naan: it was good, but just didn't compare to the potato Third Course - Chicken: our favorite for sure, perfectly cooked and savory - Tortellini: good but didn't compare to the chicken. Other people preferred this so probably give it a try anyway! Dessert - Hummingbird Cake: we're both chocolate people but we preferred this. If you like carrot cake, you will love this. Great combo of textures and flavors - Chocolate Cremeux: it was good but I think a little heavier
Do not sleep on Rooster & Owl! I was able to make
Do not sleep on Rooster & Owl! I was able to make reservations for Friday night the week of thanks to Resy alerts and had the best night. I had only ever had their takeout during Covid and definitely underestimated the in house experience. It is a fairly small place with a single bathroom but surprisingly, there was never a line each time I went. I would also say that Rooster & Owl is a more lively dinner spot than a traditional fancy Michelin restaurant, which I prefer. Our server, Kennedy, added so much to the entire experience! She helped with the ordering process by validating our choices/making recommendations and selected my wines based on my typical preference (I loved all of them). The way she described the wines she selected for me was so animated and descriptive too. Truly the best service! We were feeling fancy and started with the champagne and caviar which included the caviar plate and two glass of champagne and while delicious, I wouldn't get it again. My friend and I ordered different options for each course to share except for the Short Rib tortellini which we both wanted as our entrees. For the amazing deal of $15 to add any course, we added the Chicken Presse entree to also try. Definitely take advantage of this to taste and add more options! My favorites for each course were the BBQ Carrots, Seared Scallops, Short Rib Tortellini, and Hummingbird Cake. I also don't normally order chicken but this was a standout! The chocolate cremeux was good but I wouldn't order it again and it didn't even come close in a competition with the hummingbird cake! Next time, I would like to also try the Hasselback Potato which Kennedy had recommended. I will be returning for sure!
Exactly what we wanted and needed after nights of large
Exactly what we wanted and needed after nights of large group dinners. We got a cozy spot at the bar, and Gregory was welcoming and kind, walking us through the menu and also bringing an alternate bottle of the chateauneuf du pape to consider (it was amazing and same price point). Dan the bartender had some time to chat as it was a Tuesday night - we enjoyed visiting with him. Food was wonderful and we ordered different things so we could try more options. I loved the bbq carrots, and he enjoyed the fluke tartare. Second course, the hasselback potato was super satisfying and the bacon jam amazing. He had scallops and they were cooked perfectly. On third course, he ordered the cod and I ordered the tortellini, which is the opposite of our typical choices. Both were great but I give the cod top honors, kind of a riff on an upscale and delicious clam chowder. We had the hummingbird cake and chocolate cremeaux for dessert and Dan made us a great after dinner drink with a fruit liqueur and some calvados. Best meal of our trip, by far, and up there in terms of recent faves.
Much to crow about when you dine at Rooster and Owl.
Rooster and Owl's attentive service and wonderful dishes made it a memorable night out for a big celebration. The menu is a symphony of flavors and more than enough food. Drinks are strong. Service is personal and the sum total of the evening was plus perfect. They gave "a hoot" about giving you a good evening and much to crow about by the time the evening was over.
I'd like to start by addressing the folks who don't think
I'd like to start by addressing the folks who don't think this is "Fine Dining" enough... That's the point! It's High end food that is approachable. Appreciate the flavors/experience and share your plates with the table. If you want your napkin folded into a swan and you turn your nose at the amazing "$15 offer for any additional portion", then yes, you should go somewhere else. If you're down to earth and enjoy a phenomenally prepared meal of your choosing, then give R&O a try! Food - 10/10 - Everything was perfect! No complaints! Ambiance - 9/10 - We sat in the outside heated patio and it was great! Service - 9/10 - The server was genuine and personable, yet always professional. Thank you Jake for the great service! Overall - 9.5/10 It's nice to have a place that doesn't get caught up on their own ego! If you want to have an amazing meal, come here. If you are more interested in the "finer things", you may want to go to a black tie restaurant... which is fine, because me and my wife will take your reservation here! LOL (Including picture of our chosen $15 add-on, Norwegian Cod. Didn't need it, but based on quality of other dishes, had to try it! How could you turn away a plate such as this for $15?!?!?)
Lots of potatoes in many dishes, not that delicious,
Lots of potatoes in many dishes, not that delicious, service not great, keep rushing us to pay ( we just got new cocktails and dessert, already shoving the bill in our face), won't come back again, just the hypes
Absolutely amazing meal.
Chef's tasting menu and wines were superb. Incredible pairings, attention to detail and service was excellent. Highly recommend!!!
Asian inspired, creativity blends with extraordinary food
Asian inspired, creativity blends with extraordinary food at this Michelin Star restaurant. Smalls plates to share but leave feeling fulfilled. We also had the imperial Ossetra: caviars with brown butter steam buns and champagne for $135 for 20g. Highly recommend you go all in with this luxury. Small restaurant and tables were tightly packed. We sat in the heated patio. Incredibly friendly servers and super casual. I've been to Michelin star restaurants where if you're wearing black, they switched out my napkin to a black one. But Rooster & Owl didn't. Just an observation to prove that while upscale, the vibe is casual. Next time I'll bring 4 people so I could try all of the dishes!!!
Was super excited to come here! My main feedback is that
Was super excited to come here! My main feedback is that the service was rushed. The next course was set down time and time again before we finished our previous course. The check came before we asked and before I had finished dessert. They must hold strong to a 90-minute seating. Sitting at the bar there was a strong chill from the door. The bartender, Tim, was great and the food was solid. The starter course was the best (A+) and the other courses were delicious but not exceptional.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??

Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 12:07 am)3 Thumbs Up1 Answer, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 8:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
