Ciel Social Club

We had a fabulous time with our group of 13. The rooftop restaurant is located at the top of the AC hotel. It has an awesome view and the decor is delightful.We arrived on time and were escorted to the penthouse floor. We were there in time for happy hour so we ordered many of the appetizers as well as some cocktails. Throughout the evening we also ordered entrées and desserts and sides. Service by.Elle was excellent. We felt well taken care of.Prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality of food. Portions were generous, and the food came out quickly and well prepared.Everyone enjoyed their meals and cocktails. Our group has high standards and we enjoyed every aspect of our visit. I could not more highly recommend this restaurant.Unfortunately, it wasn't appropriate to take photographs but I can assure you everything was attractively plated and absolutely delicious.

I intended on just having a drink and leaving, but I am glad I stayed. This has been the best last-minute late night experience I've had in a while! The ambiance is warm and inviting. I am sure by the photos I have seen on social media, the spring and summer is definitely a vibe. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Juliana, who is an outstanding host. She was very accommodating, ensuring I could have a space for a large party of friends. She not only got a table , but ensured I was knowledgeable about the food menu. She even gave me info about HH, which I certainly will try out in the coming weeks. She connected me to our server, Alex, who continued the great customer service. I ordered a margarita at the bar, which the bartender was very helpful-as I didn't see anything on the drink menu u I thought would be appetizing. Our party of 8 ordered each item on the food menu, and each dish was delicious. The skewers were flavorful as well as the Mac and Cheese. I don't really believe you can go wrong with ordering anything off the late night menu. I will visit again to try out HH, with hopes it will not disappoint.

My girlfriend and I went here for Jazz Night on a Tuesday, and we had a really nice time. The place looked great inside, with some tasteful Christmas decorations that added to the vibe. We arrived at 5:30, just before the band started at 6:00. Next time, we're planning to come right at 6:00 to catch the music from the start.Our server was fantastic--super knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. My girlfriend ordered the salmon, and I went with the steak. The salmon was a bit over-seasoned, but my steak was delicious. It came sliced on a thick piece of bread, which wasn't mentioned on the menu but was a nice surprise. Next time, I think I'll try the lamb chop.Just a heads up--gratuity is included in the bill. It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when that isn't mentioned upfront, so definitely double-check your check.Overall, we're excited to come back!

Great improvement from my first visit. I went during a jazz night on a Tuesday. The food & drinks were great. The manager even walked around to chat with guests.

10/10 recommends.!! Came here for Jazz night which occurs the last Tuesday of the month. My gf and I were able to score us a reservation at the last minute so please RSVP in advance. We were celebrating my birthday so it was wonderful. The gentleman at the door were pleasant and escort you to the rooftop.The bathroom I was beautiful and ascetically pleasing. It is all gender. Our sever Zay, was soooo sweet, helpful and kind. The type of server that recommends the highly requested items on the menu. We had the cauliflower. Yum! And the chicken screwers. Also yum! The steak.. eh. But it was really cute! That pineapple upside down cake was made from the from the Heaven above and I can't wait to visit to order it again.

A night out in DC landed us at Ciel Social Club. We came from dinner at Ocean Prime and wanted a particular vibe, and Ciel delivered. Our Uber dropped us out front and as we walked in, the bouncer checked our IDs, walked us into the elevator, which then brought us to the rooftop. The ambiance was inviting, calm and spacious. While there was a bit of a crowd, I didn't feel suffocated. We got a drink from the bar and grabbed a high top. The music was good, the staff were friendly, the patrons were all well behaved and the views of the city was a sight to see. We certainly had a good time and it's a must if you're visiting.

Ciel Rooftop is a spot with an evolving ambiance that's perfect for both day and night. The decor is stunning, starting off bright and airy during the day and gradually dimming as the night progresses, setting the stage for a lively evening. Later in the night, they move the chairs, transforming the space into a club-like atmosphere with sections and tables for lounging.The food is a highlight, especially the ricotta toast, which was so good we had to order it twice. However, the drinks can be a bit hit or miss. There's a woman bartender who crafts some of the best drinks I've ever had--definitely seek her out. But when we had another bartender make a round of our drinks, they weren't as impressive.The music leans towards R&B and hip hop, which fits the vibe perfectly as the night goes on. There's also a wrap-around balcony, offering a view of some nearby buildings, though it's not the most scenic. Overall, Ciel Rooftop is a cool spot to transition from a light bite into a more upbeat night out.

The ambiance is very nice and has some areas fit for a date night. For the best service, you probably will have to place your orders at the bar. The ravioli was goid but overly salty. Im not sure if that was unique to my dish or the standard. It's a decent portion as well.

I finally made it to this rooftop yesterday! They're located at the AC Hotel on K Street! Made a reservation (which I recommend), or you'll be at the bar. I'm still mad at myself for not taking advantage of the beautiful sunset views. That just means I need to come back soon. Probably only for happy hour!The Cherry Blossom themed decor is super cute! It definitely makes for great IG pics!Service by Tori was great. The drinks were good - not overly strong, but very pricey. The listed cocktails were $16 - $20. We tried one drink off the menu, and it was $27! Yikes! Good, but overpriced! There's a limited food menu. This is not a cheap date kind of place but a cool place if you want to make a good impression.Parking is terrible. Just Uber!

Come for the drinks and the vibes but not the food. Ciel is a great time and the themes are always cute and instagram-worthy. However, the food is mid and you can find better in the area. The bartenders make a MEAN drink even when they're busy and the host staff is so sweet.
