Why Travelers Love VUE Rooftop
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.1 / 5.0(2,167 reviews)
I had a dinner in Vue. The welcome was warm and nice. The views to the White House and the Washington monument are astonishing. The food was excellent, i came from NYC and the food and the service was lower there. I suggest to taste fish! Or the Duck. And compliments the main hostess! A very warm and friendly blonde lady! Thanks for making me feel like home! 🙏🏻❤️ We enjoyed our dinner and views from our table. The dessert was also delicious and nicely plated. The service delivered was incredible. Constructive feedback: I would recommend not allowing guests to take pictures while we are having dinner. A few came and snapped pics of their drinks facing the national monument. I think when customers pay over $300 plus, they should enjoy their experience thoroughly, The rope doesn’t offer much privacy when others walk right by it. If your customers pay dollars for the experience, give it to them. Great job overall. Celebrated a friend's birthday. Great service, great view and the food was amazing. Started off with the Coastal Fritto (Shrimp and Calamari). Then we had the Branzino and Duck Confit for the main course. We ended with a complimentary birthday desert ❤️

Really good view in DC next to the white house. Shame I couldn't see the east wing, maybe poor lighting but it didn't appear to be in its usual spot. Great food and cocktails. Appreciated the fixed gratuity so didn't have to make a decision.

Today we visited VUE Rooftop at Hotel Washington. The views, the ambiance, the food and the experience were far beyond my expectations! I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of how we were treated overall. If you are in town definitely stop by and ask for Emmanuel 🥰
