"my excitement to take my wife to eat at bb for months. I heard about it in the wmal radio and couldn't wait. I would read and read their website. the first red flag was when I asked for reservations. the person who answered the phone simply said hello, not answer with the name of the restaurant, so I had to ask to ensure. then I could hardly understand what they said, so I called again when it came closer to the special date. the same thing happened. Thank you, when we arrived, we had reservations, because noone was allowed to feed only when they had stopped. now for a culinary experience. our waiter was new and knew nothing about the bourbons and even told me about the available flights. he also knew nothing about any of the foods because managment and peculiarities do not offer any possibilities for one of the server to try them. obsurd. now to the only positive part of the experience, except the company of my amazing braut of 39 years. eating was amazing. one of the best steaks I've ever had and my wife's cured. the seafood we had with the steak (scallops and lobsters) were also perfectly cooked and were amazing. all that has said, the hard wooden chairs were so uncomfortable and your almost sitting in the round of the people beside you. we had to be lucky to sit next to a Gung-ho-Military guy who thought the F word was manifold. we must have heard it at least 75 times. Thank God it was good to eat. one last thing. eating is too expensive."

"I had previously been to LionFish (pre Covid and had an exceptional meal and experience. Hence, why I came back. Hitting the bar might be ok, but this experience was mediocre and has me second guessing another attempt: Ambiance: we were seated in the far back, early dinner (we had a show , so it was a largely vacant room Drinks: I had their special bourbon and fig old fashioned like drink it was overly sweet, hard to taste the bourbon over the sugar crunchy sugar bits in it. Not my deal. Food caveat: I am a celiac and so require accommodations that may mean no sauce (soy sauce is a non starter , but I do expect higher end restaurants to have alternatives as opposed to 'naked ' food. Apps: had the duck tostadas they were good, copious duck, but lacking in anything exceptional. Just dry shredded duck. Good crispy tostada. Just no umph. Dinner: Steak, and Brussel sprouts and the duck entre. Steak was cooked medium, Brussel sprouts had a bland cream (plain sour cream? dolloped on them. The duck was forgettable not succulent, and in my opinion, overcooked (I don 't remember any crispy skin on it... . Overall an unremarkable meal. Very expensive. Two cocktails, two glasses of wine. ALL this for $350! Reflecting on it, I am bummed because the image I have is a 'hotel restaurant ' (which this IS... but not on the scale of The Pendry, which I expect a strong chef to run, but it felt more of a "this came from our production kitchen that is also doing a conference rubber chicken dinner next door. No character. For food ignorants that go for the hype and cool looking bar (or primary access to the club later that night. Ouch. Sorry. Just not what I expected."
