Elcielo Restaurant Washington D.C. Reseñas
This was truly a wonderful and memorable experience for me.
I fancy myself as a foodie with plenty of experience in fine dining and I believe this meal was on par with Alinea in Chicago as well as other multi Michelin Star experiences I have enjoyed. The quality of the ingredients, the originality of the exp
Our dinner at El Cielo was fantastic in every way.
Starting with a personal response from the restaurant to my email about a dietary restriction for one member of our party. From there it just kept getting better! The food was outstanding. It was restaurant week with a limited menu but everything w

Excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere-- a pleasure to dine here.

Back to El Cielo-the only Michelin-starred restaurant we're eager to revisit. Once again, it delivered an unforgettable experience. While our beloved Tree of Life and Yucca Gnocchi never disappoint, the Truffle Buñuelo completely stole the show
We came to El Cielo with low expectations.
We weren't very big fans of Colombian cuisine, nor did we have much experience in it aside from trying local shops and Mita (very disappointing). Wow, we were blown away! Every dish was presented with finesse and flair. Each bite was great and

Para ser un restaurante Michelin, el servicio fue muy pobre, los sabores estaba muy lejos de ser delicioso. Al llegar la cuenta, nos cargaron a mi tarjeta otra mesa donde el cargo fue totalmente inaceptable. nuestra experiencia fue decepcionante.
Mediocre food, bad service, abismal customer treatment. Avoid it.
Went to El Cielo for a family birthday celebration. It was chilly outside (late fall) and we were made to stay outside until they “opened”, even though you could see the staff waiting to open inside. Food was absolutely terrible, amateurish. Serv

From the warm hospitality to the flawless execution of each dish, everything is designed to impress. The pandeyuca tree sets the tone with a playful start, followed by the lulo ceviche, a burst of tropical freshness. The highlight, however, was the b

Extremely disappointed
Poor service. Marginal food. Expected better for the price. Lots of better restaurants in the DC area. Had the tasting menu with wine pairings and didn’t even get a different wine with each course. Barely finished the meal and they were shoving us
This review is long over due.
Hubby and I had a date night here and were very excited about it! We had been to "La Cosecha" (the Latin marketplace next door) a few times but had never realized El Cielo was right next door. La Cosecha has a great Latin vibe and great eat

Amazing service, food, and experience! Without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in DC.
Best dining experience I've ever had.
Loved the chocolate hand bath and coffee experience that made you feel like you were sipping coffee in cloudy Columbian Mountains. Food was superb and so interesting
4 stars for a pretty solid Columbian restaurant experience.
We were looking to grab a nice dinner one evening and (after getting through the website's annoying popup on every page) saw that El Cielo had some availability for the Chef Choice option. I booked us for 9pm (which the restaurant called soon after a
I'm writing this immediately in the car after my 4th visit.
I never write reviews but they continue to innovate every time I've dined there. This is the embodiment of how every country should hope to have their cuisine represented. They have consistent 3-Michelin level service with immaculate presentation for
BEST fine dining experience in DC.
I dream of the food when I'm not eating it. The service is immaculate. The plating is creative. 100/100 stars.

Fantastic experience, service was above and beyond, from booking and accommodating our changes, to the last course. The food was spectacular. Would definitely recommend. We went on a Wednesday for the short experience and found it to be just right.

Beautiful, creative dishes that were very delicious.
If given the chance, I would return. I thought the artistry and thought that went into each dish was great. The food was creatively displayed and really felt like they were telling a story. The experience was very memorable and the food tasted deli

I really loved all the food and drinks here, and everyone was so nice. We did the 13 course meal--everything was super inventive and always a play on something, which we loved. I will say two things majorly hindered us from enjoying our evening more.

Underwhelming Food
We came on a Friday night for the 20-course El Cielo experience after seeing El Cielo's superb reputation for their restaurants in Columbia. Especially for the price point, the experience was disappointing and underwhelming. The dinner took almost 3.
Stylish Columbian Cuisine in Casually Elegant Atmosphere
I wasn't sure what to expect, but did not leave disappointed. Granted, not every dish was to my flavor palate, but I enjoyed the tour of Columbia and certainly appreciated the quality of the cooking and the presentation. Similarly, the wine pairing
