Great food, very interesting flavors

First time I have tried the prix fixe. Outstanding and unlike some chef's tables there are options for each course. Very creative dishes. We were blow away. I am returning soon. Service excellent.

We absolutely loved this restaurant. Nice and intimate, quaint and just amazing!

We tend to bring our Bmore visitors to WFC, and as always, it was fantastic food by Chef Sean!

Outstanding food and service

Keep up the good work. You are doing a phenomenal job

We did the dining experience and it was mind blowing! Every course was amazing! Make your reservation now!

The atmosphere was picturesque; soft music and lots of natural light. The food spectacular; crab quesadilla, chicken potstickers & Mac & cheese. The mimosa was refreshing! I will certainly be back.

Truly superb dining! The dishes were unique and the flavors were outstanding. The setting was the perfect ambiance! We really enjoyed the intimacy of the restaurant and the complimenting music. I was a little bummed that my special request wasn’t acknowledged for dessert to be brought out with a candle for my fiancée’s birthday but nevertheless we had a great experience and will return if we are back in town. And yes, the Dope Juice is just as good as they say it is.

We had the place to ourselves and felt like the luckiest people in the world. Every course was flawless but the grilled octopus on grits was mind altering.

Some restaurants provide food. Others provide experiences. This was an experience. Knowledgeable and humorous chef, personal and attentive. The prix fixe was spectacular. I highly recommend the Dope Juice!

Food was to die for. Had their hangover dish from the Sunday Brunch menu. Everything was hot, cooked to perfection. The jalapeno cornbread was perfectly baked and was moist rather than hard and crumbly. The goat mac and cheese! It was all amazing. The portion size was more than enough. Go!

My boyfriend and I had our anniversary there and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The food and service was amazing (I could literally eat the nitro shrimp and grits every day of my life) and we highly recommend getting the dope juice!

It was beautiful, private & delicious. Open kitchen, wonderful staff. & beautiful decor.
Prepare to get there a bit early to find parking.
Definitely try the Homemade Vegan ice cream

Close personal venue. When I say Close and personal, the waiter stopped chatted up and was engaged all night, the chef came out from cooking and conversed with all parties that were there that night. There was a great deal of care and love put into the menu. I will say the salmon was immaculate, the ny strip was amazing, the chicken dumplings rivaled some of my favorite asian spots, his chilli was as good as my uncles, and vegan ice cream :/ WHO KNEW????
The time, and venue were honestly the best spot weve stopped in dc, md, va; she rated it right above cafe44 and thats her favorite lol....And if you are of age get a carafe of the Dope Juice.....phenomonal.

Thank you Chef, and staff, we will be back.

From the moment we stepped in the door... amazing!!! The aroma of chocolate filled the air. It was Devine. Every dish was top tier. Please order the dope juice. A must!!! The service was outstanding. As soon as we left I made reservations for brunch. Can’t wait to return... 10 star!!!

Everything was amazing and delicious. Very spaced out as well. Such an incredible experience.

It was a very European type of a place. Amazing food. The owner is a real expert. French toast, octopus, tacos, dumplings!!!. I want to repeat it all again. Strongly recommend and for sure will be back

Wonderful experience. Great food with great flavors. Be prepared for large portions!

I decided to throw my mother a surprise brunch party and what better way to get organized and ready to go than to book at a black owned hot spot for the last 14 years! Everything was fast and flavorful I will definitely be back!

Went there for anniversary. Food was delicious and so filling. Chicken dumplings were amazing as well as everything else. The chef came and talked to us after the meal and we told him how great the food was. You can see the chef cook from the table and meal feels very personal.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Thanks to the wait staff and chef Sean!! We'll be back again :)

This was our first time here and it was fantastic! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and the staff made her feel very special. The food was extremely delicious and we can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful experience - thank you Chef and team at Water for Chocolate - We will be back :)

The food was mediocre for the price point. It was the definition of a lazy brunch. The dinner is absolutely incredible though.

Food and service was amazing! Check the details because there was a Fixed menu there were still a lot of options though and everything that my date and I had was delicious.

The food was amazing and the restaurant had a very intimate feel. Due to covid there were only about 6 tables but I loved it! Can’t wait to go back again!

Wonderful! Food was amazing!

Great service and food, cocktails taste good and strong. I enjoyed the variety and options available. Flavor profiles are excellent. Can't go wrong here. Was very romantic set up with dim lights and roses on the table, great for dates.

Great ambiance. Great customer service. Excellent Food. Overall Phenomenal experience!

Food was Simply Amazing! Very unique experience for your taste buds!

The food was excellent and very well priced. The waitress was super attentive and patient as well. Will definitely be going back.

Hubby and I had a Valentines brunch that was different and yet so amazing. Will definitely come back

Came in for their Valentine’s Day experience. It was absolutely great. I gather this usually runs as a take out spot for the most part but they made it look cute for the occasion. Every portion of food that was provided tasted amazing. I can not believe I have not been here before. I will definitely be coming back to order from their regular menu.

Chef Guy offered a wonderful menu of options and I am confident no matter what we selected, the food was going to be spectacular! Well Done Chef!

There are no words to describe the experience we get EVERY single time we visit WFC❤️ You can taste the Love that Chef Sean Guy puts into every course. Do yourself and the one you love a favor and book a reservation for one of his 4 course meals, he will not disappoint and your loved one will definitely feel the ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at Water for Chocolate from the time I arrived until the time I left the service was emaculent. Our server was Caleb and he was GREAT! He answered all of our questions and he made suggestions on dishes since this was our first time there. The food was so very delicious. We had the four course meal and they give you plenty of food. I enjoyed each food selection but the crab meat and shrimp chowder with the jalapeño cornbread was my favorite. I will definitely be returning. Signed a happy and satisfied customer!!!

Great brunch experience. Food was superb, flavorful and reasonably priced. Service was excellent. Restaurant was very clean and will definitely return.

I love this place. Community gem with great food. The food is made to order never frozen.

Absolutely amazing! The chef and hostess were incredibly warm and friendly. The food was spectacular! The elotes and cornbread reminded me of my hometown in south Texas! Everything was delicious - so good in fact by the third course both my husband and I were completely full 🤣 We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone for a fantastic meal and great company!
