Sequoia

Took my wife here last weekend for her birthday brunch. The food, mimosas, service, and view were all incredible. You can get omelettes, waffles, crab cakes, prime rib, and so many other wonderful bites (even dessert).The staff was so great and really helped make her feel special with a complimentary cake and singing. Won't be the last time!

Hmm. So, I came here for my cousin birthday dinner on a Thursday night. The service was really good and the staff were pretty nice. I heard a lot about this place but I guess we came on a slow day .. well we in fact did lol because not that many people were there. This is a pretty classy restaurant. The drinks were very good! I ordered the blueberry mojito. It was tasty but it could've used a bit more alcohol I switched my vegetable out and got asparagus instead. My food was OKAY. I did not like the sauce on the short rib. It was not for me and that is why I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars. I would have gave it a 3.5. We had the lobster flatbread for an appetizer and it was pretty good. I would definitely come back to experience a brunch here. I would not come back for dinner because there is not that much meal variety for me.

A Friday evening show at the Kennedy Center required an equally memorable pre-show meal. McDreamy reserved a table for us at 5pm so we'd have plenty of time to enjoy the meal...and enjoy it we did. The service was attentive and comfortable; Veronica was cheerful and very personable. She checked in with us at the beginning of each course and then let us simply enjoy our meal and conversation. We really appreciated having her manage our table. We started dinner with well-crafted mixed drinks that were tasty, not heavy pours of liquor. McDreamy chose the New England clam chowder and I chose the orchard salad to start our meal. The salad was a reasonable size for a starter but very hearty all the same. It was a healthy mix of greens, squash and wild rice with a light dressing that I frankly could have made a meal of had I added a protein. McDreamy liked his chowder so much that I could barely tell there had ever been chowder in the bowl when he'd finished.The restaurant was offering a steak special served with fingerling potatoes and asparagus, which is exactly what McDreamy chose for his main. It arrived cooked to a perfect medium and, although it would have been way too much meat and potatoes for me, McDreamy ate all of it. I chose the miso sea bass paired with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was absolutely delightful. The fish was melt in my mouth delicious and the sides and sauce were excellent accompaniments. I loved every bite. To end our meal, we both ordered coffees - Irish for him, fancy espresso drink for me - and we shared the crème brûlée. I could eat that dessert every day and not regret it. It was light, not overly sweet, and a wonderful way to end the meal with our warm drinks. The only downside of the experience was the emptiness of the restaurant. We admittedly arrived early for an early bird time slot and the host graciously seated us as the team was finishing their set up. But only two other tables were sat during the hour and a half while we dined. Granted, it was quite intimate and nice to not have to yell over the voices of other diners. There was also the fact that it was a holiday week and the weather forecast threatened snow in DC, which could have kept the hordes away. But we kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Surprise! Nobody is here because 'name the restaurant tragedy of your choice.' But nothing bad happened. The only tragedy was how few people were there to experience an amazing meal. With all that said, we will definitely return for our next pre-show dinner. The proximity to the theater alone is a huge benefit. Add the opportunity to enjoy another delicious meal with impeccable service and it would simply be foolish to dine elsewhere.

I recently came to sequoia over the past few years to celebrate various occasions, And let me cut to the point, Sequoia delivers.The food is consistently good, and the service is attentive and outgoing.The seating is comfortable and spacious, but depending on where you're seated, the trek to the buffet area gets a bit awkward.The restaurant offers plenty of natural light and becomes romantic and dimly lit in the evening. The scenic view is breathtaking taking where you can appreciate the waterfront of DC. Parking is widely available in the nearby garages, but beware, the spaces and turns are tight.Overall, highly recommend, especially for specialoccasions.

My favorite brunch in DC!Sequoia is nestled next to the waterfront in Georgetown. When you enter the restaurant, the ambiance of the restaurant itself is breathtaking, especially with the floor to ceiling windows. If you're lucky, try to be seated next to the windows so you can get a view of the gorgeous waterfront while you're dining.The restaurant itself is spacious. We were greeted by our server once we were sat who was super king and attentive. He made sure that our glasses were always full since we did the bottomless mimosas. The buffet itself is extensive and the options plentiful. My favorite dish were the crab cakes which were simply delicious. While it's pricey, I definitely recommend for anyone coming to celebrate a birthday or a special event!

We started off the New Year with the holiday brunch at Sequoia and it didn't disappoint. Their bottomless brunches on the weekend are always amazing, but for the holiday they brought out items not typical of a weekend brunch. There was a dumpling station, Peking duck station, taco station, pasta station etc. I was able to try a bit of everything for almost every station and everything was full of flavor and fresh. They even had sushi and a poke bowl station. The dessert spread was larger than usual and everything was made in perfect bite sizes to try it all. We also did the bottomless mimosas and our glasses never got even remotely empty before they were already being filled. Sequoia has always been a 5 star rating on regular weekend brunches, but they are def a 5 star rating on holiday brunches and worth the additional price you pay for the holiday given the elevated food.

The food was really good! Service was very nice. Wouldn't let you bring balloons in for a birthday which was a bummer since we were there for a birthday. Lots of birthdays happening. Nice view!

Sequoia's Sunday brunch continues to be a wonderful experience. The all you can eat buffet brunch provides so many delicious options for any palate.Waffle station. Asian station. Pasta. Crab cakes. Crab legs. Oysters. Cold salads. Desserts. That Creme brulee is one of the best. Bottomless mimosas, Bellinis, Bloody Mary's, soft drinks... And so much more.The service is always great. And the restaurant is a beautiful space on the Georgetown Waterfront. There's street parking and a parking lot directly connected to the restaurant. Check it out for yourself. Mmmm... Bon Appetit! Cheers! Enjoy!

I've dined at Sequoia plenty of times with good experiences with their brunch buffet, outdoor dining, and outdoor bar. The food undoubtedly is delicious. Perhaps the best part of the experience are the beautiful interior and gorgeous view of the Potomac River and Washington Harbor on the Georgetown waterfront. What keeps this place from getting a 5*, in my opinion, is the customer service. The customer service isn't terrible, however, it's not 5* customer service. From the bar staff, maitre D, and staff who don't have primary engagement with diners, the experience could be better which is disappointing because the other aspects of their operation is stellar. The staff simply seem to "work" without really making efforts to engage diners or offer a 5* experience outside of simply taking food and drink orders.If dining outside or at the bar I recommend arriving early on Friday nights and weekends because as I mentioned, people want the prime views and bar space. Overall a good experience. As far as dining is concerned, I'll probably stick with eating at the bar. Give them a try.

This place in Georgetown has such beautiful water view. The glass windows make the ambiance unbearable - perfect for dates or gathering with friends. We went around Christmas time, so the decor was very festive. The food was good - very well seasoned. The service was fine but brunch time was a bit busy so it was hard to get waiters attention.
