Joy by Seven Reasons

Beautiful space, great food and cocktails and top service.

I love this place! If you have tried Seven Reasons before, Joy won’t disappoint you.

Excellent

It was amazing!!!!!!!

This place is absolutely incredible and has a great vibe! The bar is awesome and it was full! The music is fun and the food was a 10/10. I am definitely coming back. I am sure this is going to be a destination.
My favorite dishes were the tuna crudo, the tomate a caballo! And the short rib sandwich. The passion fruit cocktail was the winner.

Got to go to on opening night with a seat at the bar (no reservation). I tried the Amazonian G&T which was tasty. I believe they are known for their Passion over Perfection cocktail so will have to try that next time. Their watercress caesar salad was delicious and their prawn dish was good but not standout. The prawns had a slight mealy consistency to them and they were a little under seasoned (but the sauces were very good). The “If You Like Pina Colada” dessert was creamy perfection. The staff were great and it’s a nice ambiance inside. Note that you will have to pay for parking (they don’t have ticket validation) and they auto-add a 5% fair wage fee (which is then taxed?) before tip. For the price point I felt like I should have been more wowed by the main dish. Overall, an enJOYable meal and look forward to going back. Anyone local should check it out (in Chevy Chase).
