Great food. Unobtrusive, yet attentive service, an elegant, relaxing atmosphere. I'm not sure how you could improve the experience. We are headed back tomorrow with a larger group to check out the flamenco dancing.

Elcielo was a wonderful dining experience. I cannot think of one change they could make to improve it. My wife, frankly, was somewhat skeptical but was impressed and walk out with me sharing my view.

Todd, Ellen & their team continue to roll out the classics: risotto fritters, artichokes, as well as sharing new, local, organic delights! If you were a fan of the original spot on CT near the WH, you'll find the ambience here WAY more easy-going & approachable. Easy location. This continues to be my FAV restaurant in DC.

Amazing food in a modest setting, it is reminiscent of dining in a neighborhood bistro in Paris. Because it is small, with tables crammed close together, it tends to be noisy during mealtimes, but the food is worth it. And the wines are lovely.

• Mexican • Capitol Hill

Unique flare on their dishes, and the food was pretty darn great, rather than a failure like much of today's so called different twists on the food scene. Our waiter was great, knowledgeable. prompt, coherent, and delivered as well as any wait staff should, for the joint they work at. An all around pleasant and enjoyable establishment. Not being greeted with begging to subsidize employee pay, was also a breath of fresh air. Seems all too many establishments, in the DC area, wanted to test the water with begging, to subsidize pay, because of their local out of control taxes. Thankfully, a good product stands on it's own, and this was a good product, all around.
