Cranes - Washington, D.C.

To the luck that was a business dinner because it is definitiw expensive, but it is still worth. service amazing; I wish I could hire the server as a salesman. that also eat amazing. the portions are perfect to order several things to divide between a group they are small (tapa), but we were still full at the end. my highlights were the risotto, the oysters (big sauce quality), and from any reason the enoki mushrooms on each teller the image has with the plucked wobble / etc the taste profile of this teller was amazing. still water, it costs $18 a bottle seems overkilled. ?

Eating is excellent, great service and great recommendations. a. cocktails are excellent.

This was one of the DC restaurants I had visited for a long time. the cruising of Spanish and Japanese cuisine made me feel the least to say and both are my absolute favorites, so I am very pleased with the experience. but unfortunately I am disappointed, to my surprise most of the dishes were either Spanish clips Japanese clips. I see the intersection of the kitchen as the cook and the restaurant promises. the food and the drinks, while well presented, were only on average best in taste and taste profile. I give the ambiente and serve the credit it is due.

Wow. the fusion of aromen, decoration and service lived completely up to expectations. if I had to recommend a court to try absolutely, it would be the unagi paella incredible!

Very underwhelming experience. This was our much anticipated first meal after moving back to DC from Japan- the land of Michelin rated restaurants. If this restaurant was in Tokyo or Osaka or even a smaller place like Fukuoka, I don’t think it would rate even one star.We opted for just a selection of tapas. The patatas brava was fine, nothing special. The duck rillete gyoza was also good but nothing to go out of your way for. We also opted for the oysters which just tasted like they were drowned in ponzu, and nothing more complex than that. Nothing has changed about the Bao since Tom Sietsema gave them a thumbs down in February 2021- the bao wasn’t the pillowy goodness you expect (and can find on a street corner in Asia or an average Asian restaurant in DC, NYC, or LA), it was more like a pita with dry meat inside. I notice the bao gets universal poor reviews on Google but we wanted to try anyways. The yellowfin tuna on the a la cart menu was probably the winner, but it was more tapas size than entree size (which thanks to our waiter for the heads up when we ordered).The service was fantastic. The restaurant was pretty empty. If you want to try this place, might be better to dip your toe in with a seat at the bar for a drink and a couple of tapas rather than a full meal.And one final minor critique the interior design is beautiful but the atmosphere is off for some reason. I know other reviewers complained about loud music, the night we were there the music was at the right volume but it was 80s soft rock and it just didn’t fit the scene.
