Sequoia DC

I went with my family for the Saturday brunch. We went because they served a buffet menu with bottomless mimosas. Alas, this is no longer true. They do serve bottomless mimosas though which were very good. We ordered appetizers and entrees. The food was pretty decent. A little on the pricey side (roughly $400 for five people) We enjoyed the outdoor seating with views of the Potomac. Our servers were very attentive and consistently filled our water and drinks. Empty dishes were taken away promptly. It was a nice experience. Doubt I would return.

Had dinner on the patio overlooking the water. I got the branzino and my co worker got the sea bass. The sea bass was a bit sweet but we liked both the dishes! For appetizer we got the crab fritters which I really liked - had a kick to it.

I can’t wait to visit again! I want to start off by saying George made my visit worthwhile. I made a reservation for my birthday and was treated as such. I’ve been thinking about this restaurant since I left. George kept my table (of 10 people) entertained, satisfied and educated us on every dish. 10/10, my Sequoia experience was memorable. One of my best restaurant experiences.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Sequoia tonight! Our server, Fabian, was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and made some great suggestions. My husband really enjoyed his smoked Old Fashioned and I loved the Pinot Grigio. We started with the Lobster Flat bread it was tasty but the cheese was a little too heavy for us. I had the grilled Branzino and it was perfectly done! My husband had the Seabass with bok choy and he said it was delicious. The waterfront view is quite lovely. Definitely check out this restaurant, food, drinks and staff are great!! I gave it 4 stars because the bright lighting takes away from the restaurant having a really cool vibe and ambience.

I went for lunch outdoor , lot of space, beautiful view of the harbor Georgetown. The service was good , the food quality exceeded my expectations, I had burrata, calamari and shrimp cocktail for appetizers, fish and chips, crab cake entree and salmon entree with pea puree and cauliflower, good presentation and flavor. Definitely I will be back.

We were here Saturday morning, Memorial Day weekend. First we were worried that we won't find a seat, but we did. We ordered chicken and waffle, pancakes, and egg Benedict (not runny), all of it was so bad, no view would make up for it. The chicken looked like it came out of a bucket from KFC Server was not very attentive and I personally felt he was very condescending. He disappeared on us repeatedly. Coffee was ok. We order a spicy margarita that never came. I'm not sure why it is HIGHLY rated. Save yourself the trouble. DO NOT GO. Also: they add 20% tips on our bill. It is not justified if you are not party of 10 or more.

The venue is Gorgeous with views over looking the Washington Harbour and the water Fountain. I personally am squimish about raw bars and mostly oysters. I searched the menu but nothing peaked my interest more than the decor and place settings .

Dinner at Sequoia is approachable fine dining. From the moment we walked up via the river side entrance and encountered a smiling hostess, who opened the door and greeted us as we approached, we felt very welcome. We had a reservation for an early dinner and there was ample seating, so a reservation would not have been required; however I'm sure they are busy during peak hours and would still recommend a reservation. We were promptly seated and our servers, yes, multiple, introduced themselves and gave us time to look at the menu after discussing the daily specials and asking the type of water we prefer. We opted for sparkling water and placed our drink orders as well as requesting the bread sampler. I ordered the blossom martini to compliment the spring season and my husband ordered the smoked old fashioned, which they smoked at our table. Both cocktails were delicous. The blossom martini contains lychee, which was a perfect flavor for someone like me who doesn't typically drink martinis, but does enjoy lychee. Very light and refreshing cocktail. The bread basket is awesome by the way, and everyone who loves bread should definitely order it. Soft and warm bread....delish. For dinner we ordered the steak specials. I opted for the filet and my husband for the New York strip. Medium rare because that is the best way to eat steak. We also both ordered the crab cake upgrade. The dishes arrived fairly quickly and looked great. The important part, taste, for the steak and crab cakes were both really good. I will say the portions are generous, so come hungry. I had to take some home in a to-go box and unfortunately, was too full for dessert, but I did see the dessert ordered by a nearby couple and it also looked tasty. We'll have to comeback another time to sample their dessert and perhaps some wine or cocktails. They have fairly diverse wine and beer options and plenty of cocktail choices. Overall, Sequoia has a great menu, perfect views of the Potomac River, high quality food and very friendly and professional people on their team. George, Zach and the lady, who I apologize for not recalling her name, gave us a great dining experience and we would definitely comeback. Thank you!

Cool Sunday Brunch spot. If buffets are not your thing, you will not enjoy Sunday brunch at this spot. Bottomless food and bottomless drinks on certain drinks - mimosa, Bloody Mary, non alcoholic drinks. If you want anything else, you will pay for those drinks. All the food was great. I did not try any of the egg dishes but all of it looked good. The sushi was presented well and served by the staff which I appreciated - it was the only thing I remembered to take a photo of. The drink service was a tad slow but overall, cool spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The buffet is on a half floor so there are stairs you have to ascend and descend - to and from the food. Essentially a mini workout which I also appreciate. Music isn't too loud and there is a two hour time limit on the food and drink. More than enough time to try everything. Parking is tough, this place is right on the water. Probably better to Uber anyways because of the bottomless drinks.

Our family used to come here about a decade ago and it was fantastic -- unfortunately it has gone down hill. However, to start with a positive note, the service was good. Other than that though, pretty much everything was a huge disappointment. My brother had to send his steak (that he ordered medium rare) back because it was completely gray/brown, and they brought it back "well done" for the second time -- not worth sending it back again. The filets my mom & grandmother ordered were also not cooked to order (both ordered medium rare, they came medium well). The bread, which the waiters pushed a little too hard and only came with 4 rolls, cost $6. Even tourist trap restaurants like Le Dip & Filomena, of comparable cost and arguably wayyy better food, do free bread. I will say shockingly the guacamole was tasty (serving size abysmal though). And the salmon was cooked properly & tasted fine. But the tab for 6 people was $750. For the quality of food that was received, that's absurd. I will sadly not be returning. You can get way better seafood for way cheaper. Hell, go down to Farmers, Fishers & Bakers in the same building and it's 10X as good for 1/4 of the cost.

Extremely disappointing experience at Sequoia today. Despite an almost empty restaurant inside, I was repeatedly asked if I had a reservation -- a strange posture for a venue clearly struggling with basic hospitality. Staff were disorganized, dismissive, and unprofessional at every touchpoint, from the host stand to service outside. If you value being treated with dignity and respect, look elsewhere. Sequoia appears to rely on location, not on service or substance. A shame given the beautiful waterfront setting -- but poor service is poor service, no matter the backdrop.

This beautiful waterfront restaurant is in Georgetown. We sat outdoors under big umbrellas & watched boats & ferries pass us by. Service was excellent & lunch portions were huge and prices very reasonable. We started with a warm cranberry nut bread plate; it was amazing. I enjoyed a shrimp lobster salad with 1/2 lobster, 5 juicy shrimp & a plate of delicious salad in a tangy vinaigrette. Friends enjoyed a lobster roll & salmon plate. The 3 layered mouse cake was a perfect dessert for 4 of us to share.

This is our go to spot for special occasions. And recently had a great Father's Day brunch here. $100 per person. Attentive service as always. Beautiful water view and good variety of brunch selections.

Decided to try the A La Carte brunch. I ordered french onion soup, chicken and waffles which is served with dark meat, a side of applewood bacon, and a glass of rose. We hit some traffic on the way there so my guest and I didn't get there until 2:30pm and brunch is over at 3pm. Veronica was very helpful in explaining the menu options and had a welcoming attitude. We sat outside which has a nice view of the water. The soup was delicious but the chicken and waffles were just ok. I am going to stick with the buffet brunch on Sunday's.

Ambience is great as it's outside on the Potomac River. The food is so so there were a lot of bugs when we were there because they had all the lights on and they couldn't dim them. The staff was so so we used to come here when we were in our 30s and 40s and it was fun to reminisce and see all the people on the beautiful sites. Definitely a good place to have a drink before you go to the Kennedy center or walk around Georgetown I would definitely recommend for drinks.

The ambiance is absolutely beautiful! I can see why people would want to have their wedding here. The service was exceptional! Diamond was an amazing waitress. She made recommendations and answered all of our questions. She was able to make a change to my husband's omelet before the chef cooked it. Great save Diamond!! The food was delicious. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. My daughter said her chicken was fried perfectly and seasoned well. I enjoyed my crab scramble. You can see the lumps of crab meat. The bread basket was good, but we were looking for bread. Also, I was a little disappointed with the portion size of the coconut cake. For the price, I was expecting it to be a little larger. The view of the water from our table was amazing. Highly recommend and make a reservation. This place is very popular.

Great find in Georgetown that our friends who we lunched with here recommended! Very pleasant dining outdoors overlooking the water. I had a very done well lobster roll with fries. My wife enjoyed the shrimp lobster salad. I tried it and it was a good one. In addition their warm cranberry nut bread plate was enjoyable. We finished with the 3 layer moose cake. What a wow!

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.

The Sunday bottomless brunch is the best. Everything was fresh and delicious, and I don't typically like buffets but I will sing Sequoia's praises. The crab legs, crab cakes, paella and salmon nigiri were standouts for me. I also loved how the team was able to accommodate a party of 14 during the busy Sunday rush! They were very attentive with bringing us butter and refilling our mimosa's. Would definitely continue to come back for Sunday brunch. Loved everything about my experience!

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!

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.

I've loved this place for over 20 years and the food service ambiance has been consistently outstanding. I swear there's no other place in DC I'd rather be on a Sunday for brunch than this place. Make it your business if you haven't already go. And if you're lucky catch them for a holiday or happy hour you won't be disappointed

Sat outside at a table by the bar. No one ever came to us - we had to go to the bar, including to get a rag to clean bird poo off our table, which we had to do ourselves. Ordered spicy guacamole and it was the blandest guacamole I've ever had. We left after that and went to another restaurant. Service 0/5 Food 1/5

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!

We were here Saturday morning, Memorial Day weekend. First we were worried that we won't find a seat, but we did. We ordered chicken and waffle, pancakes, and egg Benedict (not runny), all of it was so bad, no view would make up for it.

It is not justified if you are not party of 10 or more.

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.

I want to say that our graduation brunch here was amazing. It was all because of Isabella who set up the entire brunch but also our servers Arthur and Margarita were amazing. We had 22 people and we never wanted for anything. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. The food is amazing and the view is to die for. We will definitely be back when we are in town from California. Thank you, Isabella. Your personality is contagious and beautiful!

Dinner at Sequoia is approachable fine dining. From the moment we walked up via the river side entrance and encountered a smiling hostess, who opened the door and greeted us as we approached, we felt very welcome.

While the service was a little slow where we had to ask for our cheese (focaccia) bread about 4 times, I would be remiss if I gave this restaurant anything less than 5 stars for its food! There is ample inside and outside seating with great views of the water. The ambiance is classy modern with floor to ceiling windows very bright with natural light through. Decor is understated elegance with modern ceiling light. Tables are covered in pressed table cloth, the right amount of romantic and social gathering ambiance. My friend ordered chilled lobster and shrimp salad which came with mango salsa and sauce and second sriracha vinaigrette. The New England chowder soup was divine according to my friend. I ordered the chicken chimichurri and grilled shrimp with coconut rice with black beans. Heavenly! Right amount of seasoning, perfectly grilled luscious good sized shrimps on a skewer. We would have licked the plates clean if we could. Definitely unilaterally absolute place highly recommended for everyone to enjoy.

Their Sunday brunch is fulfilling and elaborate. There is such a variety of food from salad to pastas to crab cakes. In addition, they offer unlimited mimosas that are in variety of flavors. The waiters are nice and pleasant. While the decor is bright and lively.

Went out for lunch with my wife. The atmosphere was awesome, and the host was very polite and well-mannered. The food was great, and our server was friendly. However, I won't be returning. Charging for refills on iced tea is unacceptable. It's regular iced tea--just like coffee, it's standard to offer free refills at restaurants. $5 per refill. For a place with this kind of reputation and vision, I expected better.

I had dinner on 5/16/2025, party of 6. The waiters are extremely pushy - always looking for an upsell. A constant harassment all evening long. Really disgusting behavior, considering this is a higher tier restaurant. Then once I received the bill, I saw that there is an automatic 20% gratuity included. That explains the harassment for the upsell. Also, they got the bill wrong - added a second plate which we did not order, and added a desert which we did not order. Of course, with an automatic gratuity, the waiter benefits financially while ripping me off.

Everything was great! They keep the Mimosas and Bellini's coming more than refilling your water on Sundays!!!

I've head about Sequoia for years and finally made it. The weather was almost 70 degrees so I sat outside on the patio. I started my Sunday brunch with a waffle, crab cake, and breakfast potatoes...it was soooo good! The waffle had the perfect texture, the breakfast potatoes were seasoned well, and crab cake was yummy. The star of the show was the seafood paella. My GAWD it was good. More sweet than savory and I Loved it! I had a whole plate of it alone. My server was Rosalyn and she was such a sweetheart. Sis made sure my cousins request for strawberry lemonade in a flute was fulfilled. I would totally come back when I want a nice brunch to enjoy along the Potomac.

The view is lovely and the food was very good, but the service was horrible. Hardly saw our waitress. Our food took a long time And when it did come we had to ask about our drink order which took forever. The coffee was lukewarm at best.

We ended up at Sequoia's because Tony and Joes had taken their outside seating up because of pending rain. I love when what starts off as a disappointment turns into a great time. The food and the service (Ms Veronica) were outstanding. We had the corn and crab fritters, the sweet pea and corn risotto and the Bronzino. I also tried one of their frozen margaritas. Everything was delicious. How often can you say that when you go out to dinner? I'll be back to see Ms Veronica who made us feel like she had known us forever.

Nice restaurant where you can sit indoor or outdoor for views of the Potomac River. There's a bar outside that you can sit at as well if you just want drinks. My friend made a reservation for us which I recommend because it gets busy quick, especially on a Saturday night. I got the blueberry mojito for a drink which was delicious and then the crab cake entree with the coconut basmati rice. SO delicious!! My friend got a glass of Chardonnay and the Chilean sea bass entree which she said was amazing. Our waitress was kind. Definitely recommend coming here, it's more upscale and pricier. Our bill total for the two of us plus tip & tax was $160

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!

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.

This is my all time favorite brunch spot! The selection of food is awesome! From the salad bar, seafood station, sushi station, crab cake station! Let's not forget the unlimited mimosas! You will not be disappointed! And it sits on the water in which is always my favorite place to be especially when dining!

Courteous staff who try to really engage with their tables. A good vibe. Food has such variety. Paella, oysters (just okay), crab legs, desserts, dumplings, traditional breakfast foods, salads... milkshakes (freshly made).... Just go already!!

The food was adequate but the Service was terrible. We waited for everything, only saw the server 3 times in the entire meal. We asked 4 people to get our server and he still never came. We received our dessert menu's and they didn't come back. We had to get up and ask for our check. We spoke with the manager after dinner and he never said a word after hearing our experience, just smiled. For a $590 dinner for 4 -------- TERRIBLE NIGHT OUT Oh yea, nice view

$89.95 plus tax Unlimited champagne mimosas or Bellini .... They came around to refill as often as they do water. Parking and getting here was very confusing. My main hang up was the noise it was so loud like a junior high school cafeteria at lunch time... whew I couldn't hear my table of five conversation. They had a very nice variety of food. Crab legs Sushi Oysters Clams Mussels Lobster bisque Taco bar Paella Cheesy grits Salad bar Carving station Dessert bar Cotton candy Waffles Omelets BAAACCOOOOONNN All the food was just ok. I could give it 5 stars to noisy no live music just an expensive cafeteria ...

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 feel like you're paying for the ambience and not the food. For the price point I feel there's a lot more restaurants that offer better food and service.

Fantastic Sunday Brunch! We were going to a matinee at the Kennedy Center and stopped here first for brunch. There are so many other photos featuring entrees so I'm going to focus on what we thought was fantastic. Don't miss the crab cakes; lumpy, succulent and served with a nice (but not overpowering) Aioli. Pork Dumplings rivaled some of the best Asian kitchens. Carving station prime rib serving was more than adequate and juicy tender. Fried Chicken and ribs were savory without the ribs being overly sweet. Crab legs and oysters were sweet, with the legs being very nice size. My wife had pasta from the pasta bar where they placed the cooked pasta inside a wheel of cheese to raise that game up a bit. The buffet comes with bottomless champagne/mimosas. Veronica, our waitress was funny, fantastic and a gem. Special occasions--this is a must!

This is a brunch review! I've done Sundays mainly and a Saturday as well. The Saturday brunch consists of tapas and it is interesting because they have a bread/pastry plate, a shareable oyster dish, shareable shrimp cocktail and a menu with tapas that are a great portion. They do unlimited mimosas/Bellinis and keep them flowing without you having to remind them. I sat outside and enjoyed the view but some bees were interrupting us! Sunday brunch is an all you can eat buffet set up. You can still do bottomless mimosas/bellinis. The menu is expansive. The flavors are on point and who can deny having some cold crab legs at brunch? It's fun and the variety doesn't get old to me. Service was timely and efficient. It is loud in there so I wouldn't bank on this brunch location as a place for quiet and intimate moments.

One of the best brunches in the DMV. I absolutely love it every single time. The options are plenty, from seafood, omlettes and tacos, to oysters unlimited mimosas and sushi. This spot is perfect for a special occasion or when taking guest from out of town out on the town. Brunch is $90 a person but you will get your monies worth in food and views. The location is gorgeous. It sits right on the waterfront; you can dine outside during the warmer months. The only parking that ever seems available in that area of Georgetown is garage parking; on the bright side the elevator brings you straight into the restaurant. How cool! I will be revisiting this bring many times over many many times.

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!

Came to Sequoia with family for restaurant week and had a great time! The space is really large and beautiful, right by the water with a great patio and great light. Despite it being a Saturday night it never got too crowded or too loud so it was the perfect place to come with family. Our service was super attentive and really great the whole time. The servers make great recommendations and do everything to make sure you have a great meal! They don't jip you for restaurant week!! We got to try a great selection of their menu for a good portion and good price. I had the ceviche to start. A little too spicy for me but tender and flavorful plus served with a large portion of chips. For my main I had the salmon which comes with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was super super moist and very flavorful. The mashed potatoes were to die for! The spinach was fine, nothing to rave about. For dessert I had the tiramusu which was really tasty but has a weird grainy texture to it. To drink I had the sangria which was super fruity and refreshing. Overall everyone in my party enjoyed their meals and drinks and we would definitely come back!

Any day the sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue makes for a perfect day to spend down on the water in Georgetown. Sequoia's on the waterfront offers a tapas brunch that included a variety of yummy tasty foods for the table to try and served family style meant for sharing. Not your brunch buffet as they have on Sundays, but it was plenty of food to go around. Somethings were single serve but for the most part some things were enough to share. We were celebrating our beautiful Big Sisters "last rodeo" and started out here. Our server pretty much told us she ordered everything she enjoyed and kept the small plates coming as well as the mimosas! Small plates from Bacon, eggs and potatoes- which by the way were delicious!! As well as the chicken tings tacos- these were flavorful and filling. After the taco and a few bites of the french toast, I was full! Lol but I did sample a shrimp and grits, a quesadilla and finished with the yogurt parfait. The oysters and steamed shrimp were also fresh!! And delicious. I saw some plates that also included blueberry pancakes, chicken and waffles, breakfast pastries, salads...I mean there was just so much food and everyone was happy with the selection. After dining inside, before leaving my sister and I caught up for a bit on the patio and enjoyed a couple drinks on at the bar. We ordered the blueberry mojitos and as always they were delicious!!! Sequoias is an all around forever go to in dc. Whether you're celebrating something special like a birthday, anniversary, looking to propose, a cute bachelorette shin dig, or a simple date night, GNO, whatever the occasion might be,on a nice day you can never go wrong selecting this place! HAPPY YELPING!!!

Fantastic food and service! We went 2 days in a row LOL. But the Sunday brunch is UNMATCHED!!! Amazingggg

My wife and I had dinner at Sequoia, we had hoped we would love the food here,but the experience was a bit of a letdown. We ate late, so they were not busy. We got seated right away. We ordered our appetizer, drinks and entrees, and noticed everyone else had bread but us. We got our appetizer, the grilled Spanish octopus, hoping the bread would come soon. The grilled octopus was a bit overdone, dry and chewy. It would have been better if a bit less cooked, but more charred. The sauce it comes in was good. Our dinner arrived, and we asked the server about the bread. He said that they don't bring bread until after you receive the dinner so as to not fill you up, and then only if you ask for it. A not so honest response to our asking for bread, he could have been honest and said they forgot to bring us some. That knocks a star off of the review. For our mains we ordered the Sea Bass, and the Scottish Salmon. The Sea Bass was OK, the Salmon was a bit overcooked and dry and under seasoned. The mashed potato the salmon came with was very good. Overall, not what we expected for nearly a $200 meal for the 2 of us. The

Excellent brunch selections! I will admit that it can be a little on the pricey side for some people, but when you look at the food selections, it's definitely worth the price. There are the basic breakfast staples (eggs, bacon, grits, etc) as well as a very respectable seafood selection (snow crab legs, mussels, clams on the half shell). The service was outstanding. The house mimosa is included in the buffet and my glass NEVER got below half empty. The staff made sure that beverages and water stayed topped off and that empty plates were promptly removed from the table. We went on a somewhat brisk Sunday morning during the cherry blossom bloom, so we opted for indoor seating. The indoor seating area is very bright, very well lit. Reservations are highly recommended, as the place seemed to fill up quickly. Additionally, be aware that there is a two hour dining period per person.

I attended this place for a wedding. It was genuinely nice as it was right on the water with large glass windows. The reception and ceremony were on the first floor while the cocktail hour was on the upper level. The staff was tremendous all night. For the cocktail hour, there were six or so pass around little plates. I was able to try the chicken tacos, quinoa salad, lamb on a stick, and ahi tuna. They were all very solid. The chicken tacos were bite size with enough filling while the quinoa salad was a changeup compared to the other offerings. The tuna was probably my favorite as it appeared very fresh, simple and tasty. To start the meal, a burrata salad was served. It was served with greens and tomatoes along with a vinaigrette dressing. It was very tasty. The burrata was creamy and bigger than I would have thought but the key was the vinaigrette dressing that brought everything together. For the main course, seabass and a filet were served with risotto. This was outstanding. Both pieces of protein were an ideal size for this type of venue. The filet was cooked to a medium rare while the seabass was cooked appropriately as well. There was light seasoning on both, but that was all that was needed. The risotto was a nice touch as well. Will I go back? I would.

I always come to this place when come to DC Have been there several times. After today will never be back again . The only reason is it's two stars is bc the food was decent and the servers tried to help Started with me being 30 minutes late bc traffic was horrific..we were stuck in an uber for over an hour. The hostess was nasty with an attitude and said "you're late can't seat you" There were plenty of empty tables.0 I called manager who was very nice and seated us.. All was ok until desert .My daughters sorbet took 25 minutes with me asking 3 different people. Towards the end two different people brought same desert and said it was in the house . Next twenty minutes I waited for the check that again was brought by 2 different servers. I mean really! Disaster! Never again!

My friend and I made a 1p reservation for brunch on a Sunday. This is not a pop up place. You must make a reservation. It will be packed! The brunch buffet is in a separate room. You have to go there yourself. Most people love it for the seafood. Burch was about 100.00. The food was good. They need more vegetables options.
