Enjoyed my dining experience at K+K, their attention to detail with specialty cocktails is a plus! The toasted marshmallow espresso martini is my fave! The food is always flavorful and staff very attentive. Our waitress Knori was fantastic!

I absolutely loved The Alchemist! The entire menu was crafted so thoughtfully & I wanted to try every single drink! I like how this cocktail bar is more of an experience, with unique drinks & then an extra flare with smoke bubbles, flames, or that magic touch. I would 100% go back!

We had been before at the restaurant for Sunday brunch and we loved the food. But this time around we decided to try dinner menu and it over delivered our expectations! We had a 3-course menu and everything from service, atmosphere, drinks and food was excellent! The star of the dinner for us was the duck jambalaya, you get to try duck sausage, breast, crackling skin, patê. I mean once you find a restaurant that knows how to cook duck properly you have to stick with it (IYKYK). Also, a shout out to our server Samuel J, top tier service, he made sure we had a great experience and that we would made it on time to our cap’s game.

The cocktails were amazing, and so was the bartender. There is no food to rate, but otherwise it was a great environment.

Me and my friend went here to get food and was pleasantly surprised! The food all was so amazing, the ambience was gorgeous, and the drinks were perfectly made! We came at happy hour and they had a perfect happy hour. We both got the happy hour burger and martini for $28!! The limoncello martini and lychee were so tasty. Then we got the desert and it was absolutely delicious! It was an ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and some other toppings called the Cereal Killer. Definitely next time I’m in DC I’m coming back!

    Croix rooftop was perfect for a date night or small group. We tried a mix of small plates and the goat roti and everything was 10/10. Service was really great and fast! The atmosphere was fun and the restaurant played great music.
