Gravitas Washington Reviews
We really enjoyed our dinner at Gravitas.
Although the décor is a little cold and industrial, the service is very friendly and the food is full of flavor. Plus, the wide open venue allows you to look into the kitchen and see the amazing culinary team at work. To start, we had the yellowfi

Was really excited for my meal here but was let down on a few fronts. Wine pairing was a standard list of wines that you'd get no matter what food you order. That's extremely odd to me for a Michelin starred establishment to not have that l
Fab service.
Pretty good food. Did the restaurant week menu. Loved all except the chicken. It just was odd. Bread was awesome. Dessert too. Sunchoke dish was a fave.

Broke bread with a couple of friends at Gravitas for Restaurant Week. Consensus: Eat here - and do it on repeat (if you can afford it.) Food. The food was superb overall. There were a few standouts for us, including the tuna sashimi, Maryland cra

Gravitas lived up to every bit of its Michelin star! So happy that I realized this was on the summer restaurant week. Beyond the wonderful four course menu items, they were other delectable treats along the way, like an opening Aji tuna and a focacci
It was my first time dining at Gravitas.
A not so hidden gem it seems! I just don't come over to Ivy City that much, but I will be coming back more often now! From the service to the food courses, the restaurant deserves their Michelin star from the perspective of someone who loves gr
We've been to Gravitas twice and have loved the experience
We've been to Gravitas twice and have loved the experience both times. We visited them in 2024 both times and had the 4-course option. The service, largely the personal nature of the servers, the ambiance, and the food are all worth a visit!
Solo Diner Review: 2/4/25.
I booked a table for Restaurant Week and planned for the three course menu. I'd looked at Gravitas multiple times for a treat, but it just never made it to the top of my list. The RW pricing gave me a little nudge and I'm glad I tried it, b
Service & quality here has declined over time.
For the price, it's really hard to justify. Also, hearing the owner's recent comments it's very easy to not go back here again. Message for the owner - were your hateful views worth ruining your business? Does it feel good to know that
Sterile environment understated by owner
I've been looking forward to this meal for quite some time. Couple of friends mentioned how tasty things were. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm a creative eater. Textures were interesting. Salt levels were off and the price for the qualit

We visited for a restaurant-week birthday dinner, which was an exceptional value, but would gladly return anytime. The food definitely shined, but the service was awesome as well, and just a really pleasant ambience. I just love a pre-fixe menu... al
Wonderful restaurant in DC.
Decided to treat myself to a night out at Gravitas. The restaurant was “new to me” and I’ve heard good things about it so I was excited. I throughly enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere. Going solo was a pleasant experience because the staff wer

My spouse surprised me with dinner here for my birthday, and we were blown away! We ordered the 6-course tasting menu, a gin tasting board, and two cocktails. Every dish was cooked to perfection. This is my fifth Michelin-starred restaurant, and it

Worst service — over two hours late, no apologies.
How to describe the worst and most bizarre dining experience ever. Remarkably, our dinner service began 2.5 hours after our reservation time. With no apologies or acknowledgement of anything amiss, we were seated in a corner and literally ignored

We came for our one year and they told us happy anniversary a lot and wrote it on our dessert plates. The staff were really nice and it wasn't crowded but we went on a Sunday. I loved this meal. I'm still full from last night even though the portio
Excellent and and a Great Value
The food is fabulous and the service is flawless. The price is very fair and one of the best deals in Washington, DC. Go before the secret is out and it becomes too crowded.
We tried the 5-course during winter restaurant week.
The ambiance is industrial yet upscale. Both food and drinks were good, very creative with ingredients and plating which fits the Michelin standards, but for some dishes the flavor was a little underwhelming, like the butternut squash. Service was g

Visited on a Friday evening to a restaurant less than 1/4 full. We had the 6-course tasting menu, added the Baller Bite supplement and lobster risotto. Honestly, this is the most underwhelming "Michelin" guide restaurant I've ever been to,

Vegetarians beware.
We notified staff that I was a vegetarian weeks ahead of time (during our reservation), but staff asked again when we got there about dietary restrictions, as if they didn't know. When I said I was a vegetarian, they said they could accommodate me wi

Loved this restaurant! We went during Restaurant Week.
Everything, from the moment you enter the building is excellent. They opened the door, took my coat, and there is a really warming fireplace in the waiting area (which I sat at while my husband parked). Service was very good, friendly, and thorough.

Very good dinner here during restaurant week! There was 2 options either a 3 course for $65 or 5 course for $95. We went with the 5 course and I'm so happy we did! Sadly the 3rd course was a pasta course and since I'm GF I couldn't have that but they

If you are looking to have a gastronomic experience, this is not the right address in DC !
Not sure how this place got 1 Michelin Star. Service was ok, place is a little noisy, but they can't do nothing about it. But the food... Once again a "Chef" that is putting fancy ingredients together simply because creating a dish with

Visited back after years, and all I have to say is that I walked away VERY happy. Everything at Gravitas is spectacular, from the greeting and service the minute you walk in, to the wine, to the ambiance, to the presentation and flavor of the dishes.

Don't do the chef's tasting counter--it was wildly expensive and the food was a 4/10. Nothing exciting, expensive ingredients that weren't prepared well. The sea bass dish I thought had actually gone bad on the first bite. Really really disappointed.
Gravitas continues to impress me from to start to finish.
They serve the most unbelievably delicious food, served by the best staff, inside one of the relaxing atmospheres you will find in DC. Last nights experience was on par and maybe even the best experience yet. The food continues to be bold and invent

5/5 for the Chef's Counter experience.
Came here on my birthday and was wowed by each dish we had. Presentation was on point, tenderness and texture were executed perfectly.The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Each server had a personality that was entertaining and refreshing to
Good food taken with gravitas (seriousness)
The food is the centerpiece here, and the service was also excellent. We all five had the tasting menu, and they allowed extensive substitutions and modifications to allow for our various diets and desires. I don't give it a higher rating only becaus
Wow! We had our thanksgiving dinner here.
We didn't do the Turkey. There was a Prix Fix Menu that satisfied. I think I am ruined for life after eating the Foie Gras. It was beyond delicious and creative. The butternut squash Agnolotti with browned butter, each bite was another surprise.

Made this reservation almost one month ago to come to Gravitas on Thanksgiving eve with my sister to catch up as we both unfortunately are no longer locals. We knew it wad competitive to get a reservation however we saw that the restaurant was empty
Connect with users posting reservations for Gravitas Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Gravitas Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Gravitas Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Gravitas Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Gravitas Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Gravitas Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
