• Nice views, good place to get a drink.
• Bad service, awful food, and an overpriced cheap restaurant.

“Sequoia's glory has declined rapidly in the past year. The staff was too unprofessional and poorly dressed to represent a fine establishment. The hostesses looked like they were 12 years old and were dressed so casually, that I wasn't sure if they had just wandered in off of the street. When our waiters tried to make up for the fact that they left us sitting at our table for 15 minutes without so much as a greeting, they continued to fumble awkwardly throughout the meal. Though the service had little hope of improving during our meal, we remained optimistic about the food. The vegetables were not fresh, the steaks were tough and drenched in an awful cover-up sauce, and the potatoes tasted overdone. We were ultimately so disappointed that we will never return to sequoias for a meal again. To celebrate our anniversary, we had looked forward to a romantic evening dining in dc with a lovely view. All we really got was the view. When our waiter asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, we explained that it was our anniversary. Not expecting anything extraordinary, we were temporarily impressed to have the manager visit us later in the meal. The experience turned confusing and awkward when the manager continued to stand at the table and say nothing. We smiled awkwardly until he left. When we received our dessert, there was a candle in it and our waiter made a little fuss about the celebration, which was ok. However when we received our check, the dessert was not complimented. Even an average restaurant will compliment a birthday or anniversary dessert. Don't bother sending the manager over to interrupt my meal if you're not going to comp my dessert! Sequoia's is an overpriced restaurant for a cheap experience. If you ever want to visit sequoia's for the view, and then just stay at the bar upstairs. Appetizers and entrees are just not worth it! .”
