Sequoia Restaurant   

Ok I was not going to complain about June 23 at Sequoia but since they have us listed as no-shows on open table.com I am going to. They certainly treated our party of 3 as no shows - we were seated at a table for 5 even though there were other tables near us that were more acceptable. We asked to move and were told no. The service, was remarkably slow which I blame on the kitchen rather than the waiter because you could tell he was getting stressed. Our food came out at varying times and while it wasn't terrible, it wasn't noteworthy either. For the price and the hype of Sequoia it should have been better. I definitely won't show the next time!!!

We were a party of 8 and had reservations for 3 weeks. Upon arriving, placed at a terrible location. Requested another table, one of 5 empty tables for 8. Management refused saying that those were taken. They gave us 2 tables for 4 and would not move the tables together saying it did not look good. The food was lousy as well. Upon leaving, all 5 tables were still empty. Nasty Nasty Nasty management.

If you must go, make sure you have some appetizers first because the service is horrible. I've been to Sequoia several times hoping they will improve, but I've always been disappointed. The food is good, the atmosphere terrific, but I won't be going back any time soon. Sequoia has a near monopoly on waterfont dining in Washington DC, therefore they have no incentive to provide good service. On top of that they have an arrogence about it.
