This was an incredible experience. Shoutout to Ismael who was a patient and wonderful staff member. My date and I had a long-anticipated 1st Date and he was very attentive, knew the menu from cover to cover. He knew exactly what drinks would be suitable and gave us time and space to allow our romance to take over naturally. We will never forget this experience and will 10/10 come back and 10/10 recommend!

Wasted setting. . Great view on roof overlooking Potomac and Georgetown. Skimpy menu. Stale popcorn. We left and went to Cut bar downstairs. No reason Cut Above can’t have the same menu as Cut.

Great service and really good food. Do yourself a favor and order the High Society. I almost want to give it a bad review so it stays a hidden gem (not hidden at all)!!!

I went here as the rosewood team never lets me down on special occasions, and as always, they did not disappoint. The bar made excellent cocktails and Ish gave my wife a truly wonderful experience for her birthday. We will see you for my birthday this September!
