Everything about this dining experience is perfect. But go with a lot of money in your pocket -- and a lot of time on your hands.First of all, the thing I didn't really understand from the reviewers...

Service was excellent. Wine pairings were not great. Tasting menu was a fun experience but the appetizers were hit or miss. Risotto was excellent but branzini was underwhelming.

I had the best olive I have ever had in my entire life at Komi.I am actually content knowing I will probably not eat another olive so divine, tender, sweet and luscious in my life ever again. Hats off...

There's no shortage of "fine dining" restaurants in Washington, D.C. however they seem to spawn more from ostentation and from what expense account diners are willing to spend than from love of food...

I cannot recall the last time a restaurant so far exceeded my expectations. Maybe the night my wife and I dined at Komi all the stars were aligned perfectly in the universe. But we walked away...

If I could wish for my mother to have copulated with someone other than my father, I would have liked for her to time travel and go for Johnny Monis, chef at Komi, and one of my current culinary...

One of my top three favorite restaurants in DC. Note that this is a tough reservation to get because it's a small place (and reservations are pretty much necessary) and now, at least on weekends,...

Komi is one of the best restaurants in DC and you'll never be disappointed with Chef Johnny's creations. I haven't tried the pre fixe dinner, but everything from steak to fish is excellent. The...

Many people have already reviewed this little gem, and I will echo that the 5-course pre-fixe dinner is the way to go. It is also very worth it to pay extra for the wine pairings. I think that...

I went to Komi for my 21st birthday dinner, summer of 2005. Yummmmmmmy. The restaurant is very sparse in its decor, no art on the walls as the food is supposed to be the art. Call me old fashioned,...

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in the DC Metro area. It helps that its a short hop, skip, and a jump from where I live. It was truly a dining experience full of great food, great service,...

It only took one visit to make Komi my favorite restaurant in DC. I've now been 3 times and it hasn't disappointed yet. The weekend tasting menu is a fabulous idea. My favorite dishes include the marscapone...

Komi is really a terrific place for a celebration dinner. The ambiance is cozy but congenial—you never feel like you don't belong or that you're under/over dressed. The food is really special—I had s...

Colds, allergies, and the discovery that Komi serves only wine and beer got our party of four off to a bad start. Within literal minutes, though, our spirits had lifted and only continued to rise, as the...

My girlfriend and I went to Komi last night. We had reservations for 9:45, but with the nature of the intimate dining, we had to wait 20 minutes for our table to become available - fortunately the staff was...
