Fodor's Review:
Banks of windows with views of the Potomac and a spare Japanese sensibility set the tone for this airy dining room at the Mandarin Oriental. The food has a Eurasian bent, with dishes such as oysters six ways, Kobe rib-eye steak with citrus sauce, sautéed black cod with miso. The witty black-and-white martini shake sparks the most interest on the dessert roster. The café regularly serves tea with offerings way beyond the usual Earl Grey (every evening from 6 to 10:30, though the times change often), and an à la carte sushi menu is the ticket for those on the run. Though almost every seat in the house is a good one, the banquettes are most in demand.
User Reviews & Ratings:
Cafe Mozu the most
Posted by cd from Washington, DC on 9/19/05
Well, we always want fine dining with great views and better service. We want it but we don't often get it, but at Cafe Mozu, they offer exotic yet edible food and grand service with fine views of both the Potomac River and the Southeast Freeway. If you're lucky, you could meet a former President of Mexico as I did but if you're really lucky, you'll get Nilson, a Salvadoran delight.
