Staff was great, french pasta is handmade and was absolutely delicious on both our plates, Short Rib Lasagna & Pappardelle. Crispy Brussel Sprouts were definitely crispy and delicious with pickled onions. The cocktails were great. We needed a good dinner our first night in town and Opaline delivered. Thank you.

We have never been to the Ritz Carlton in DC so decided to eat at the Quadrant after a show we saw at the hotel. The ambiance was lovely and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious. It was a little pricey but we were not shocked as after all it is in the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC. Overall a great place to eat.
