So few things in life are everything they're built...

So few things in life are everything they're built up to be...but Komi met...and exceeded our expectations. Everything about our experience was outstanding! Our reservation was for 9:15. We were seated immediately...and by 9:18...we were sipping champagne and enjoying the first course. If you're in a hurry...this isn't the place for you. We were there for more than three incredible hours...savoring one surprise after another! Multiple courses (we lost count!) and each one delivered a "Wow!" From Komi staples like the olive oil date...to a home run main course of goat shoulder with pita bread and a dish featuring 5 different accompaniments. I've never had goat prior to my dinner at Komi...and it was awesome! A nice outer crust and delicate and tender meat all the way through. We opted for the wine paring...and our glassed were never empty. The sommelier is not stingy with his choices...and quick to offer an alternative if he senses that you're not enjoying the wine. The wait staff was super-friendly...very attentive...and seemed genuinely excited to present each dish and curious to know if we enjoyed the offerings. When I informed someone on staff that I'd have to interrupt service for a few minutes to retrieve my vehicle...which was parked in a nearby garage that was about to close...I was told to relax and not worry. At the end of the night...the same gentleman escorted us from the restaurant to the parking garage...where he produced a key card that got us in to get our car. We'll definitely return...and we'll eagerly recommend Komi to our friends...and anyone else seeking a genuinely special dining experience in Washington.
