SanLorenzo

I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:
-I reserved online and was promptly seated.
-The Segal cocktail was fantastic

Cons:
- The food didnt meet expectations: Nothing about the dishes popped.
I could've made better at home.
I ordered the pappardelle and overpriced fiori di zucca
- $130 for 2 people
- Our cocktails that were ordered with the entree didnt show up until I was finishing the last two bites of my entree
- i basically sat in the walkway because the restaurant crams too many tables into the restaurant

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THIS PLACE HAVE 5 star reviews??????
I was so excited to go here while visiting Washington. It was on top of my list of places to eat. And boy oh boy was I ever disappointed….. where do I start??

When you first walk in, you are hit with a strong smell, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was under the prosciutto was brought to our table. Maybe it’s because I don't eat meat, but in my opinion that smell is not normal for anything ingested should smell.

Let’s move onto the waiter and his condensing tone. he was very annoyed with me when i was inquiring about dishes due to a food allergy. After inquiring about the dishes I had my eyes on and couldn’t end up ordering any of it. So I asked the waiter what on the menu can I order since I’m sensitive dairy. And told him what I can and can’t have. He turned and told me that I shouldn’t of come here then, rolled his eyes and walked away and said I’ll give you time to think about it!!!!

I understand that I’m not an easy customer due to my food restrictions, but don’t have to be rude about it.

Now onto the food, we had asked the waiter how big the portions are so can get an idea of how much food to order. He said they’re fairly generous! IT IS NOT. The lobster risotto
Is not the normal portion like other places, and there wasn’t much lobster in it at all, just the few bits that you see there. And I will tell you this and many people will be able to relate, whenever I eat sea food that isn’t fresh, I get hives, and low and behold, I got hives right after. This is not the last of it yet… when it came time to dessert, I read the ingredients on the menu and went with the chocolate cake, (remember that the waiter and I’ve already had this talk about my sensitivity to dairy) he brings out the cake, and there’s whip cream on the cake 😒, so I tell him and his response is why didn’t you tell me? I totally would’ve understood if the restaurant was busy and he had too many tables to serve but he did not, so the attitude was just uncalled for.

He took the cake back and brought out a new one, that night…. I puked my brain out. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he intentionally wanted to poison me.

so to say i was disappointed is an understatement!! What a horrible night it turned out to be, to have hives, vomit and diarrhea.

And that is why I have chosen to give my review so that people who have food allergies can be aware and not end up like me.
