SHŌTŌ Washington DC Reviews from The Last Year
Not all that it is cracked up to be
Dined here to celebrate an upcoming birthday. We were warmly greeted and sat promptly. We did have a reservation and arrived 25 minutes early. This place has been on our list for quite some time. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed to be disinterested, annoyed and bothered that he was serving us. His service was not exactly attentive but it was also not dismissive. The food was just okay, nothing more and nothing less. We have had far better elsewhere. I honestly don’t see us returning but would stop short of not recommending. Hopefully others will have a better experience than we had.
Food taste amongst the Michelin Star's "Best of the best"
It was so good we were blown away. Food taste was as good as the best Michelin Star restaurants we have been to. And I mean compared with the "best of the best" (LeCinq, Joel Rubichon Paris, La Pergola, Amstel 212). On food taste alone I would say slightly better than our favorite Michelin Star restaurant in North America (Picasso at the Bellagio). Food presentation was great and so was the service for a high-end restaurant. Food presentation, service and restaurant ambience was not Michelin Star level but that is logical as to take those aspects up to Michelin Star quality would required a lot more investment and far higher operating costs (i.e., the menu prices would need to go up by at least 50%) - and I am not so sure I'd rather it not just stay just the way it is. At the end of the day I put food taste far above the other quality is of Michelin level restaurants.
DO NOT GO
Average food but the smallest portion going. Must of been 3 tiny pieces of pasta. $70 as well for 2 portions of it. Very small portions would not recommend going here
Beware of horrific waiter
My two friends and I walked OUT of this restaurant due to a horribly rude and offensive waiter (named either Ryan or Brian) before we even had the chance to order dinner. We have NEVER done that before. I worked in the restaurant business for many years, most notably for Warner LeRoy at Tavern on the Green, and am extremely patient going out to eat since I know both the front and the back of the house. I'm giving one star for the ambience. From the minute we sat at our table this waiter was caustic and demeaning. He abruptly gave us our menus, no eye contact, seemed ticked off we didn't want the wine menu, and then we didn't seem him for quite some time. He demanded we order as soon he let us know what the specials were, and then he ran away in the midst of telling us the specials, as he said he "had to go get the hot food" for another table. ??? When he returned he demeaned my friend as he asked "do you understand" the specials...and then asked my other friend why her head was down as he let us know the specials. When she mentioned she doesn't like mushrooms, he got annoyed and told her he just wasted time with us then. And when I told him we needed to think about the specials vs. the menu, he got nasty with us telling us we did not know the proper way to let the waiter know we're ready to order since the menus were closed and stacked. WTF? We never made it past the focaccia bread, which he never told us they charge for. We got up and left. The maitre'd offered us another table but we had to get out of there. We are three well-travelled friends who were looking forward to a reunion dinner. The reviews online looked so positive. This waiter shouldn't even serve people at a fast food restaurant, let alone at an upscale restaurant. At one point it felt like we were in a SNL skit, only we weren't. We went back to our hotel and ate at Bistro Bis restaurant there and had fantastic food and service. Sorry we owe you $6 for the focaccia bread...take it out of his paycheck.
Very enjoyable
Very nice restaurant with attentive service, food and wine excellent.Our vegetarian friend who had food allergies was looked after extremely well. We had our best meal here during our trip.
Amazing Italian restaurant
Beautiful restaurant. Creative menu and excellent wine list. The food was excellent; scallops seared perfectly, veal chops cooked to perfection. Service professional and friendly! Whats not to love!
First and lasting impressions.
We were precisely 10-11 minutes late for our reservation. FYI, good restaurants give a 15 minute grace period. When we walked in, two people were manning the hostess stand. A man and a woman which I'll refer to as Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. We were told that our table was 'given away to a walk in' and that we would have to wait 15 minutes. I protested and Twiddle Dee answered with 'I should have called'. Wow...is this a test? 25 minutes later, we were escorted to a back room full of empty tables. Really? The waiter tried his best to make things right, the food average. But the evening was too sullied at this point. As we left, Twiddle Dum loudly yelled a fake good bye as we vowed to never return.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
