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.
Great fine dining experience
On a short holiday in DC and dropped in for an early meal before going out on an evening tour. We reserved online through OpenTable which all worked fine. We were in a bit of a hurry but the service was quick and attentive. The food arrived quickly, despite the restaurant filling up rapidly around us, and was absolutely delicious. Other reviews have occasionally been critical of the service, but that was not our experience. There was a remarkably high number of staff working the room and our server and her colleagues were friendly, attentive and above all, quick. We were under a bit of time pressure I suppose our only gripe that we didn’t have longer to enjoy it all. This is very fine Italian dining and does have a price tag to match, but I think in this case you get what you pay for. Highly recommended if you’re done with burgers, steaks and cheese with everything and you want something a bit special.

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.

Can come from a lot of places, people who don't want to get charged their cancellation fee or people who just have them and cant go.

almost all restaurants aren't affiliated with AT and I'm guessing it's mostly people wanting to not pay cancellation fees.
