AVOID SEQUOIA LIKE FIRE!

My SEQUOIA Mother’s Day experience was awful and here is why. The place was absolutely unprepared for the volume of people it experienced. I had reservation, and it took the staff 90 minutes to sit us down, WITH THE RESERVATION! The hostess was rude and very confrontational. She went ballistic on me as I complained to her about her lack of professionalism. She was sticking finger in my face, yelling at me that I am lying. Isn’t that a wonderful customer service?! The manager took her side and I felt like they ganged up on me, even though I was right! Food was horrible, overcooked and cold! No apologies from the staff or management whatsoever. This place needs staff and management re-do!!they have no idea what they do!

Mother's Day Disaster

Went with my wife and her family to Sequoia's for Mother's Day. We were seated promptly for our 5PM reservation. However, from that point on the service was atrocious. We asked three times (twice to managers) for them to send our server over. After an hour+ of waiting, a waiter finally came to take our drink and appetizer order. The appetizers were good. We ordered our entrees, however, when they arrived two of them had the wrong sides. A couple of the dishes were good when they came out, however, the other two dishes were cold and had to be sent back. We saw four different customers complaining to managers and as we were leaving some guy threatening to scream if he wasn't seated soon. View good, service awful, food ok but over-priced.

Quite a disappointment

I had been eager to dine at Sequoia as it seemed to embody the DC waterfront dining experience. We finally went on Valentine’s Day and I’m sad to say it was quite a disappointment. We had to be re-sat twice because of broken chairs at the tables. The service was very slow and our order was taken incorrectly more than once. Halfway through our salad course the entrees were brought to the table even though we were clearly not ready. Our entrees arrived cold with certain items (potatoes) not even cooked. I suppose the allure of Sequoia after all is best experienced while sitting outside having cocktails on a summer evening, rather than a gourmet dining experience.
