If you want to be pampered with food for hours while you enjoy the discussions with your friends then this is the place for you. The pre-prix menu is short. I tried the swordfish, a nice portion as the main entree. There is a lot of food, so go easy on the initial serving of bread with Burrata.

Mediocre food and complete lack of atmosphere make you shocked at the bill that is presented to you at the end of the meal. Plenty of other restaurants in DC with better food for less money. Will not be dining again.

This place never disappoints. From the incredible service (thank you Channel and Beth) to the fresh ingredients. It is an all time favorite, class act and delight in DC. It’s a true gen. We celebrated our 12th anniversary tonight. Loved every moment and every bite. Thank you!!

Most amazing food, wine and service! This restaurant is more of an experience rather than your regular restaurant. Rotating choice of items on the menu depending on what’s available seasonally or what the chef has decided to present. Service is impeccable, bread is amazing especially the grissini. Presentation of the plates were spectacular and the wine list is very nice. The pasta course was delightful and just what pasta should be and the entrees are imaginative. Beautiful, cozy dining room. A must go of you can get reservations which are required.

I had an amazing experience from beginning to end. I got all courses along with the wine pairings, everything was good. It was a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and try new things as well.

Great Italian food is supposed to be simple, straight forward. Obelisk puts the ingredients first and executes at perfectionist level in a cozy, comfortable, quaint atmosphere.

Truly one of the more exceptional restaurants on the eastern seaboard. If only food journalism in DC weren’t so sycophantic for the new new, Obelisk would be a top contender for press every week of the year. But they don’t need it, the quality of their product and the conscientiousness of their staff are second to none in our town. A treasure that I hope will long last.

This is my favorite restaurant in the city. We have eaten here four times and each time has been a wonderful experience. The food is exceptional and the service is immaculate. Be prepared to take your time with the meal because this cannot be rushed. My wife and I recently had dinner and it was the best meal we have had in years. Highly recommend for a great dining experience!
