My husband surprised me with a birthday dinner here and let me tell you, best food experience ever for the both of us. Everyone was so nice, the chef was very accommodating with our food substitutes and everything was perfect. It felt like a party in mymouth with every bite, so delicious! Will be back. Thank you again.
Stepping into Fiola is stepping into refined and elegant world. Every detail in this place oozes with taste, warmth and elegance. The menu is rather limited but the dishes are carefully and artistically made. Mason our waiter was amazing. Thank youfor a pricy yet wonderful experience.
So far the best michelin tried in the DMV area. From making modifications to my large party to the modification for me of no sheep's milks, which ended up modifying multiple courses, this restaurant was above accommodatable and amazing. First I'd haveto give a shout out to the management staff, Sarah S was so helpful and nice and has a great demeanor, and Giuseppe was alsoamazing and assisted us with ending our bills and making white truffle recommendations. We tried the 9 course option whicheveryone raved about. 1 felt if we went for the 5 course, maybe it would have been a different experience and a few did not likethe citrus flavor for the lobster entree meal, but every other course was so amazing. I'd recommend for sure to add on the whitetruffle and gnocchi pasta course as it was the highlight of everyone's night, as was the tiramisu. Definitely a place to visitagain (this being said by someone who doesn't normally eat Italian food either! . Thank you Fiola!
It was a beautiful evening with delicious food. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and we either liked or loved every course. The decadent duck main was a particular standout for me, which they customized to my cheese preferences, and the touch of picking out my own knife was clever. Having the delicious bites at the bar with a drink before dinner began was also a fun and unique way to be welcomed! Our server was warm and well informed yet professional the service and atmosphere were classy without feeling stuffy. There was not a sommelier informing us of the wines (at least not introduced as such), but our server was knowledgeable and it did not detract from our experience. We would absolutely return and recommend to others!
We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The first seven courses were fantastic, with that caviar bite being one of the best things I've had. But it fell apart on the mains, with the lamb chop being very ordinary and unevenly cooked. Servicer is fantastic, as can be imagined for any Michelin-starred place. Desert was petit fours-like, I was hoping for something a bit more upscale. By and large, this was great but just sort of petered out at the end. Drink pours are very generous, you certainly don't lack for wine! The vibe and atmosphere is really superb as well. If I had to do it over again I would have ordered off the menu. Two tasting menus with wine paring is just over $1,150 with tax.
