SHŌTŌ Washington DC Reviews from The Last Year
Not all that it is cracked up to be
Dined here to celebrate an upcoming birthday. We were warmly greeted and sat promptly. We did have a reservation and arrived 25 minutes early. This place has been on our list for quite some time. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed to be disinterested, annoyed and bothered that he was serving us. His service was not exactly attentive but it was also not dismissive. The food was just okay, nothing more and nothing less. We have had far better elsewhere. I honestly don’t see us returning but would stop short of not recommending. Hopefully others will have a better experience than we had.
Food taste amongst the Michelin Star's "Best of the best"
It was so good we were blown away. Food taste was as good as the best Michelin Star restaurants we have been to. And I mean compared with the "best of the best" (LeCinq, Joel Rubichon Paris, La Pergola, Amstel 212). On food taste alone I would say slightly better than our favorite Michelin Star restaurant in North America (Picasso at the Bellagio). Food presentation was great and so was the service for a high-end restaurant. Food presentation, service and restaurant ambience was not Michelin Star level but that is logical as to take those aspects up to Michelin Star quality would required a lot more investment and far higher operating costs (i.e., the menu prices would need to go up by at least 50%) - and I am not so sure I'd rather it not just stay just the way it is. At the end of the day I put food taste far above the other quality is of Michelin level restaurants.
DO NOT GO
Average food but the smallest portion going. Must of been 3 tiny pieces of pasta. $70 as well for 2 portions of it. Very small portions would not recommend going here
Beware of horrific waiter
My two friends and I walked OUT of this restaurant due to a horribly rude and offensive waiter (named either Ryan or Brian) before we even had the chance to order dinner. We have NEVER done that before. I worked in the restaurant business for many years, most notably for Warner LeRoy at Tavern on the Green, and am extremely patient going out to eat since I know both the front and the back of the house. I'm giving one star for the ambience. From the minute we sat at our table this waiter was caustic and demeaning. He abruptly gave us our menus, no eye contact, seemed ticked off we didn't want the wine menu, and then we didn't seem him for quite some time. He demanded we order as soon he let us know what the specials were, and then he ran away in the midst of telling us the specials, as he said he "had to go get the hot food" for another table. ??? When he returned he demeaned my friend as he asked "do you understand" the specials...and then asked my other friend why her head was down as he let us know the specials. When she mentioned she doesn't like mushrooms, he got annoyed and told her he just wasted time with us then. And when I told him we needed to think about the specials vs. the menu, he got nasty with us telling us we did not know the proper way to let the waiter know we're ready to order since the menus were closed and stacked. WTF? We never made it past the focaccia bread, which he never told us they charge for. We got up and left. The maitre'd offered us another table but we had to get out of there. We are three well-travelled friends who were looking forward to a reunion dinner. The reviews online looked so positive. This waiter shouldn't even serve people at a fast food restaurant, let alone at an upscale restaurant. At one point it felt like we were in a SNL skit, only we weren't. We went back to our hotel and ate at Bistro Bis restaurant there and had fantastic food and service. Sorry we owe you $6 for the focaccia bread...take it out of his paycheck.
Very enjoyable
Very nice restaurant with attentive service, food and wine excellent.Our vegetarian friend who had food allergies was looked after extremely well. We had our best meal here during our trip.
Amazing Italian restaurant
Beautiful restaurant. Creative menu and excellent wine list. The food was excellent; scallops seared perfectly, veal chops cooked to perfection. Service professional and friendly! Whats not to love!
First and lasting impressions.
We were precisely 10-11 minutes late for our reservation. FYI, good restaurants give a 15 minute grace period. When we walked in, two people were manning the hostess stand. A man and a woman which I'll refer to as Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. We were told that our table was 'given away to a walk in' and that we would have to wait 15 minutes. I protested and Twiddle Dee answered with 'I should have called'. Wow...is this a test? 25 minutes later, we were escorted to a back room full of empty tables. Really? The waiter tried his best to make things right, the food average. But the evening was too sullied at this point. As we left, Twiddle Dum loudly yelled a fake good bye as we vowed to never return.
$200 per person before tip but meh
The menu sounded delectable but in practice fell short of the mark. The pasta vongole had wonderful clams but the pasta itself was overly al dente, aka stiff. The seafood platter (a warm salad) had amazing seafood but the absence of any seasoning left us feeling disappointed. The service was attentive and friendly.
Tosca's ugly underbelly....the owner's temper
My company recently hosted a private event at Tosca (we frequently do). The food and service are great but this time I experienced a different side of Tosca. I witnessed the owner, Paolo Sacco, completely berate and humiliate a staff member. He was in the staff member's face yelling vulgarities. The man has an ugly temper and treats his staff in the most disrespectful manner. It was painful to watch. That experience changed our opinion of Tosca. We will not support a business who's owner believes it's ok to humiliate people and is inconsiderate of a person's dignity and humanity.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
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.
Process after bid is accepted. |
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.
Where 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.
What 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.
Virtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
