Awesome staff, best truffle freench fries ANYWHERE !!!
Great food & service. We had a great meal and the service was very nice and knowledgeable.

Small plates/big flavors. I left Policy a bit indifferent until I really thought about the food and decided this really was a promising kitchen. While I always wonder if the tapas/mezze/little plate trend is getting out of hand where one never knows if the chef can execute a full fledged entrée, I secretly love them - the ability to have a variety of flavors and textures in different combinations is a great pleasure and I am a big fan of sharing. Dining with a group of friends who all like to experiment, we cut a wide swath through their menu ordering several exceptional salads vegetables, and entrées. Among the salads, the watermelon and feta was my favorite although the mixed greens with a light but flavorful vinaigrette (and that night served with peaches and bacon) were rather nice. Among the entrees the herbed gnocchi were light and impeccably seasoned (and they are so often leaden and bland). The curried lamb sliders were a big hit wit everyone - we almost ordered more. The perfectly seared scallops floated above haricots vert and the duck confit spring rolls were crisp but not greasy and stuffed with tender duck and served with a piquant dipping sauce. I guess there were two things that had me wondering whether I liked Policy. The last dish I sampled was a shrimp dish. A pile of shrimp were plated amongst the heads and served with a corn relish that was under-seasoned. The shrimp themselves were either overcooked and rubbery or undercooked and mushy. It was a very disappointing dish to end what had been a constant parade of well-executed and imaginative dishes. The other thing that had me wondering was the trying to hard décor. There was too much black and red with no relief to the eyes and uncomfortable seating both in the lounge and at booths. A major plus was that the noise level was surprisingly low - a bit louder in the lounge but conversation in the booths was easy. Other restaurants should take notice. The inviting and creative drinks menu had us sampling different tipples and the thoughtful and well priced wine list was made even more attractive by being half off on the Wednesday night we dined. The charming and efficient staff make this place the real winner. Sascha was a doll! When the bill arrived we were all pleasantly surprised at how modest it was so another visit is definitely in the works.
Recently had dinner at Policy and the food was fantastic. The place had a great vibe and the service was great. The braised short ribs were tender and delicious but the Brie chile rellano really was amazing.
Serving small plates to share and fancy cocktails in a hip and urban atmosphere while quoting "Truth, Love,Liberty", Policy is one of the newest restaurants to hit the U Street area. No one cuisine is prominent, rather a fusion of flavors collected and presented as trendy tastes to be shared and chatted over. Executive Chef Brian Murphy's culinary talents are highlighted throughout the menu and satisfy the taste buds. The main door screams with neon lights and splits the entrance of Policy for the restaurant to the right or the club upstairs. The dining area is very Las Vegas loungy, with the red vinyl booths and dark woods. Mini spotlight lighting at each booth and retro table designs add to the cheesy flair, yet upstairs boasts an eclectic urban club/lounge with chandeliers and graffiti-ed walls. Cl

Last week I mentioned the new restaurant and lounge that opened in my U Street neighborhood, Policy . I still haven't tried the food, but I did go there for drinks. The upstairs area is a swanky bar/lounge with funky chandeliers . I was there around 8 p.m
I was recently invited to the soft opening of Policy this past Thursday and the place was delightful. I described the atmosphere of Policy to my friends, as "Urban Glam." With its graffiti adorned walls and over-the-top chandeliers in its upstairs lounge,
My wife and I decided to treat ourselves while in DC to a special meal after a career change. She’s always wondered what it would be like to sit at a chef’s table and in this place every seat is at the chef’s table. There are only 16 chairs in the entire restaurant. The service and staff were absolutely amazing! We lost count of the number of courses brought to us. Everything, and I mean everything, tasted wonderful. It was a true dining experience for all your senses. We loved the vibe of the music, the smell of the kitchen, and the choreography of the staff. It was so much to take in, bordering on sensory overload but in a good way. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience we recommend. We were encouraged to ask questions of the chefs and never felt rushed. When we were finally done, which we didn’t want to leave, we realized we had been there for over 3 hours. Highly recommend if you are ever wanting to splurge and enjoy a two Michelin star restaurant.
This is a situation where five stars is not high enough. The entire dining experience is incredible from start to finish. Jônt is a vibe and the food is beyond excellent.
Fantastic place to celebrate a special occasion- super thoughtful and detail oriented.
The entire staff, including Chef Ryan and sommelier are awesome and personable- you might need to engage them in conversation first, but each staff member we chatted with seemed eager to chat and answer any questions.
I personally enjoyed the playlist (primarily hip hop) and music level, but if you prefer a quiet dinner with low volume or classical music, this may not be the best fit. First timers might want to double check the cost before dining- we do quite a bit of fine dining and just a heads up that Jônt w/wine pairing is the most expensive in DC. With that said, we also think it’s the best.
Jont is a must try in the city. We did the special Valentine’s Day dinner a while back and it was worth every penny. It was 30+ courses of different types of fish and meats and desserts at the end. Each course was explained to us by a chef while it being served. The wine menu is extensive; so many different options and great selections. The presentation was phenomenal. Every one was so friendly and welcoming and it was such a treat to get to see the staff working together to put together such a great menu and dinner service.
A straight up vibe.
Equal parts sophisticated/fun, Jônt unquestionably delivers a 2 star experience. Every dish was interesting, beautiful and above all else delicious. The staff and sommelier were all unbelievably well versed in literally every aspect of service. It’s definitely a night I will remember.
I have only been here twice. Both experiences have been out of this world. The food, the flavor, the attention to detail, and just everything is wonderfully amazing. The main experience of dinning is one thing, than you goto the dessert room. I love a good sweet, and yes. I don't drink, so haven't done the pairing, but friends have and they say it's wonderful.
If you are looking for the perfect place to bring someone to a wonderful dinner, i cannot recommend this place enough. They are definitely top tier and the best experience I have ever experienced.
This was the most amazing dining experience I’ve ever been a part of. My friend & I had an incredible time and everyone on the team was so welcoming and engaging. The sommelier Gabe was excellent and made our experience so much fun. Kinga was also fabulous! The energy, enthusiasm, music and vibes made it an all around unparalleled experience. Best girl’s night out and not a single pairing that wasn’t absolutely outstanding!
We had a wonderful night, the experience was mind blowing from the moment we walked up the stairs. My partner said this is the best meal he has ever had - thank you! Service was incredible and we loved the menu to take home, it was awesome to reflect on our experience. We are still raving about this.

Prior to our reservation, they did call to ask about allergies, dislikes, and special occasions!
There is some street parking and some garages nearby. Jont is located above Bresca. We had the door opened for us and we were greeted and taken upstairs immediately into an intimate room with seats around a kitchen. They take your coat for you if you request it.
We were asked for sparkling or still water and offered some champagne. I believe they also offer non-alcoholic sparkling for those who don't drink. There is an tablet with the drink menu for your selections before the meals begin.
We did opt for the truffle experience for an extra $150 I think it was. Although it was good and they do give you a fair amount to pair with some dishes, it can be overpowering. I would suggest that if you go with someone, one person opts for the truffle.
I did enjoy most of the dishes, some had a lot of flavors that can be a little overwhelming. Everyone was so gracious and nice and service was excellent. You're taken to a lounge area with tables right outside the kitchen area for desserts, coffee or dessert beverages.
When we left, they gave us a copy of the menu for the evening and it's when your back downstairs that you get your coat. They also knew that I had a dog and had dog treats for me to take home! It's a great experience to have and we do plan to come back. I was definitely full by the end of the meal but all the desserts were fantastic.

We made reservation at Jont a couple of month before visiting DC and it didn’t disappoint us. It was our first Michelin star restaurant experience so we were not quite sure what to expect.
The food and service were both top notch and the presentation of each dish was incredibly thoughtful along with the carefully chosen ingredients for each dish.
Upon arrival we were led into the restaurant upstairs. It has a modern bar style setting instead of the traditional table you may be expecting. The full open kitchen allowed us to see all the preparation work while having dinner.
The service was incredible with almost 1:1 staff to customer ratio. We really felt that we were treated like royalties.
It was expensive too which you should probably expect from a Michelin 2 star restaurant. Yet I still highly recommend this place if you haven’t tried a Michelin star restaurant before.
A truly amazing experience. I tried things that I never would have before and really liked it! Wonderful staff & chefs. It was wonderful and the food was so beautiful!
