Awesome ambience and service. Great cocktails too. It made for a very special evening. Our waiter and host said the menu is about to get refreshed, which is great to hear. Hope it can expand a bit too, and same for the wine and beer list (skimpy compared to the cocktail options). Loved the place and look fwd to coming back soon.

We have never been to the Ritz Carlton in DC so decided to eat at the Quadrant after a show we saw at the hotel. The ambiance was lovely and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious. It was a little pricey but we were not shocked as after all it is in the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC. Overall a great place to eat.

This was an incredible experience. Shoutout to Ismael who was a patient and wonderful staff member. My date and I had a long-anticipated 1st Date and he was very attentive, knew the menu from cover to cover. He knew exactly what drinks would be suitable and gave us time and space to allow our romance to take over naturally. We will never forget this experience and will 10/10 come back and 10/10 recommend!
