Phenomenal dining experience! Inventive and flavorful dishes even for those who are not vegans. Top notch service. Worth every penny. The plates are small but surprisingly filling. You will leave feeling satisfied and good about yourself! I particularly enjoyed the sorbet and ice cream… basically anything with coconut milk. And the kale chips are so addictive. Sochu cocktail is also a standout. Am looking forward to going back another month to try some other creations. Highly recommend a night out at EGR to treat yourself!

The surreal presentation of obscure and exotic flora made this amazing culinary experience that lasted over 3 hours akin to watching a science fiction space opera. The complex flavors and textures were expertly paired with heroic wines with over the top origin stories. The service was impeccable, with Elizabeth herself clearing plates, topping off water, and answering questions. My only complaint is with the choice of paintings on the walls: they are primarily pre-romantic styled portraits of women offering their poses to the male gaze. I feel It would be far more appropriate to present modernist styled works to match the innovative dishes.

We had a wedding here which was ideal for our party of just under 50. The staff and Phill Heyser helped make the wine pairings were highly skilled and turned out a grand event. I would highly recommend this venue for this use.

Imagine a delicious meal and lovely ambience and crazy good wine pairings — and then imagine that it’s all raw and vegan! No worries for the gluten free dairy free crowd. No stressing over whether to decline the bread and look like a jerk. Nope. No bread. Just kale chips folks — yummy addictive kale chips. The menu is exquisite. The service is perfect. The other reviews are right — you’ll leave full and happy and delighted. And sort of sad that they’re only open one day a week.

4.75 The reviews are true. This place is stellar. I made reservations here to impress my only beloved vegan in my life, my Aunt! This was truly an experience. Seven courses, all beautifully plated and presented with explanation by our wonderful server. Each course was full of robust flavors and textures! My Aunt was busy taking pics of her food and talking about each one! Mission accomplished! My experience and the atmosphere was just wonderful from making reservations on Open Table, the smiling hostess with coat check, to the candle lit Victorian setting, the neat and clean bathrooms with hand towels, the neo soul jazz and Portuguese music to meeting Elizabeth herself. This was an awesome upscale, vegan experience. Now, I ate a late lunch(3:30pm) not anticipating being full off of grass and foam – which is what i thought! I was horribly wrong and wish I hadn’t eaten that late before our 8:30pm seating. I was full and wasn’t sure if I was going to make it through the next 4 courses! While there is a prefixe menu for each Friday seating, there was one house made soda option outside of the wine and water. For $ 8 it was just ok, maybe I shouldn’t have ordered it. While everything was wonderful, being non-vegan, I probably wouldn’t return any time soon. Great experience, but pretty pricey for an exploring non vegan that can get it cheaper, elsewhere. Would I return annually for a special occasion like my Aunt’s birthday? Yes!

Had a terrible time. Went for a friends going away party. $ 75 for the tasting menu that was worth about $ 20 at most. Most courses tasted like grass and/or dirt. Was not satiated after the meal and went and got another meal somewhere else afterwards. Avoid Unless you are hard core vegan. Also took 3 hours when nothing is cooked. Incomprehensible how much I disliked this meal.

If there were ten stars, the sun and the moon, I would give it to Elizabeth’s Gone Raw. We had the five-course wine paired dinner and every second of every minute and every swish of my tongue and gentle movement of my mouth cherished each of the five courses. My mouth didn’t want to swallow but my stomach said you must let go. The staff were simply amazing and this place doesn’t belong on this earth. It was how I would imagine being a character in Alice In Wonderland and Dining with she and the Mad Hatter. This is hands down the best meal I’ve ever had and I’ve dined out a lot for decades all over the United States. I will fly to Washington, D.C. From Los Angeles To dine here again. It’s worth the trip. #beenthiswaybefore

Finally got to try Elizabeth’s Gone Raw this last Friday and it did not disappoint at all. Great pacing on the tasting courses. It never felt rushed. We just sat back and enjoyed the experience. All of the flavors were balanced so well and the dishes were beautifully plated. Cocktails were delicious and balanced as well. Can’t wait to return.

On our first night in DC we decided to splurge and make it a special evening . We we arrived wet and hungry after visiting some of the national monuments in the pouring rain . The place was warm and cozy inside. We had a drink at the bar while we waited to be a sat. The cocktail I had was one of the best I’ve ever tasted . The dinner was superb, each course making us happier . The Sommelier was very sweet and helpful. We really liked him . Elizabeth was very kind and friendly . The chef is a genius ! The sprouted lentil dish that was our main course, was innovative and delicious. The standout dish was a strawberry/beet sorbet with citrus . A truly inspiring meal. We left feeling happy and satisfied. Besides the mishap with my reservation, everything was perfection. Thank you !

What a treat! Each plate placed on the table brought amazing new taste combinations. Beet and strawberry sorbet? Wow! Totally works. Between the food and absolutely wonderful & friendly staff, we were given a meal we will remember for a long time. Worth every penny. You are paying for an experience. Elizabeth is a genius!

Things to know about this restaurant: 1. They serve only raw vegan food 2. Only open on Fridays 3. Make reservations, it’s better! 4. 6 course meal prix fixe menu: served in smaller portions. If you’re a big guy, you may not get full. 5. $ 75 per person; price is more expensive if you want to do the wine pairings. 6: Kale chips are so delicious!(Not included in the 6 courses, they will give it to you as a snack, so no need to ask) 7. They change their menu every week! So every time you come it’s a surprise Elizabeth’s gone raw was definitely on my list of restaurants to try while visiting in DC. Me and my boyfriend were visiting from LA so we might as well go all out on food. I’m a vegetarian and he’s a straight up carnivore, so I was so touched that he was down to try an all vegan restaurant for me while we were on our trip. The decoration here is so beautiful. It looks like an old cozy house that they just turned into a restaurant. Me and my boyfriend were the first people there at 6pm sharp. We sat at the bar first to order our drinks and then headed upstairs to get seated. I got some strawberry cocktail($ 14) which was pretty good. There was a mixed emotions of flavors running through my mouth; it was sweet, salty and sour all at the same time. Pretty cool lol Where do I even begin with food?! Amuse Chanterelle Ravioli: this was my favorite out of all the dishes. The texture of the pasta was nothing like real pasta, but the flavors in the ravioli and the sauce surrounding it made up for it. Start White Corn Soup: I also liked this dish because it had truffle in it. I’m a HUGE truffle fan, so put it in any dish and I will love it. They give you a BIG piece of truffle inside the soup as well. Places in LA just give you thin shavings, but this piece was super thick. I didn’t like how the soup was cold though, I’m just used to drinking soup hot. Appetizer Coconut Heart of Palm Carpaccio: I enjoyed the black seaweed caviar that was on top of this dish, but I wasn’t a fan of the sauce or the coconut itself. The coconut had no flavor to it so it tasted like I was eating a raw crunchy vegetable. Intermezzo Sour cherry and lavender sorbet: YUM! This was so delicious that I ate my boyfriends as well. I don’t normally like cherry, but I didn’t think this tasted like cherry at all. It was really refreshing, icy and sweet. Entrée Poached Green Asparagus and Sage Tabouli: the asparagus itself was really enjoyable. They poached it in water for 3 days so it definitely fattened up the asparagus and gave it an awesome crunch to it. I also loved the coconut bacon, it didn’t taste anything like bacon of course, but I loved the texture because it felt like I was eating candy. I didn’t like the tomatoes in the tabouli that much, because I’m not a tomato fan, but if they just had the cucumbers I would have liked it more. The apricot egg yolk really looked like an egg yolk to me, I was so impressed. But the taste was kind of bland, I wish it was more sweet because when I think of apricot I think of the sweet fruit. Dessert Mango and Black Pepper Ice Cream with a Chocolate Brownie: I loved the ice cream, I forsure tasted the hint of the black pepper and I surprisingly enjoyed it. The chocolate brownie was so hard for me to eat, I usually don’t like chocolate in general, so I was wondering if I would like vegan chocolate, and I forsure just couldn’t eat it loll. The texture was just so gross. It was really pasty, dry and bland. Even with the ice cream, it did not taste good. The thing I love about this place is that the workers describe every single dish in very good detail. They tell us exactly what the dish is, what everything is made out of, how they cook it, and how long they cook it for. I find it so interesting and fascinating how chefs can mimic meat/seafood dishes, but make them out of completely different ingredients.

Excellent food and romantic atmosphere and superb service. In another life, I did 14 years of restaurant business in DC area. Unlike NY or Chicago, DC metro region is dominated with corporate chains and concept stores. I really thought that we had lost the good old fashioned fine dining service in this area until my wife and I walked into Elizabeth Gone Raw last Friday. I was and still am a carnivore. We both completely enjoyed the experience. Kyle, Dan, Phil, Sean, and Elizabeth herself worked to make us feel as especial and important as the food that they so artfully prepared. We were educated, entertained, papered, and deliciously feed. I will only be glad if I had to wait to get a reservation, they are that good, did I mention that I am a carnivore?

Only open on Friday evenings, we were able to get a reservation for 6 while visiting Washington DC. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by an employee. We didn’t have our entire party there yet, so we were asked to sit at the bar and order drinks and have their kale chips, which was delicious! Walked upstairs to our table, the décor is nice and romantic and dimly lit. Servers and wait staff have the greatest attention to detail, any crumb on the table is swept up immediately. And I liked how they described each dish when serving. They made it very interactive and we all had more an appreciation for the food before eating it. Every Friday the menu changes, so we had the following week of July 31st, a prix fix only menu. —(4 stars) Summer Peach Salad: this was very good, although we all wanted more, it was a very tiny portion, and because we liked it, we were disappointed to only have a little of it. They should have given 2 each to the customers to satisfy the cost and flavor. —(5 stars) Cantaloupe Soup: very refreshing, I am not a fan of cantaloupe but the soup flavor was really good. —(5 stars) Heirloom Tomato Salad: loved the plated presentation, there was a bubble of basil which was very interactive and fun to eat. —(5 stars) Raspberry Sorbet: delicious and refreshing, was a little weird with olive oil, but it tasted pretty good with it. —(0 star) Roasted Beet Terrine: entrée was too dry and tasteless, I was very disappointed in this entrée. All the other entrees before this were amazing and was I excited to try out the next one, but this entrée was not up to par as the rest of them were. Everyone at our table hated it. —(5 stars) TCHO Chocolate Mocha Cake: This was really good, glad we were able to end the meal with a delicious dessert, especially after that horrible beet entrée. We loved the strawberry sauce and the cake flavors. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion. The food overall had great flavors, just make sure to check the menu on their website a few days before, just in case you don’t like something in particular, as you can’t choose your own items. Stay away from the beet entrée!

Went for our anniversary dinner a few weeks ago. Everything was amazing. Our server was friendly and a little silly, which was nice in such a formal setting. I’ll start off with the atmosphere. The dining room is beautiful and charming. You walk in to the restaurant and can almost forget that you are in the middle of DC. We both chose to have the wine pairing(which was nice because we didn’t have to make decisions on drinks — but the cocktails looked amazing) The entire meal was amazing and an experience that you could only have at EGR. I’m still dreaming about our beet amuse-bouche. As the other reviewers have noted, the kale chips are very good(definitely not your typical kale chip)! We both agreed that the meal was definitely worth the slightly high price tag. Don’t let that deter you from an amazing, one-of-a-kind meal.

The food here is incredibly detailed in plating and marriage of flavors, with careful culinary thought applied from start to finish. The venue is beautiful, the staff is polished perfection and the courses are non-stop aesthetic and gastronomic delights. Caveat: the only reasons I award 4 instead of 5 stars are because of the limited hours(1 night a week; torturous!) and the lack of choice for the meal. Yes, I understand it’s a prix fixe, but, some ingredients some people may not like, and with the cost, I would tip my hat off to the chef even more if they had at least 2 of the 6 courses as a choice between 2 dishes. I can’t even imagine the prep time for their amazing courses, but, why not raise the bar further? However, if Friday is perfect for your schedule, and you love everything raw and vegan, then 5 stars, no questions about it. There are happy hours, but those are also limited, and I have never attended one, so this is just for the food. When you enter the building, it is as cute as can be. There is a small bar area to greet you and allow you to have an apéritif before your reservation and/or party is/are ready. The décor is exquisite, boasting a style of an as expected wealthy DC row house with classic style attending to a theme that coordinates the chairs, flowers, stairs, carpeting, flooring, wall coverings, lighting, and everything else possible. It’s a beautiful affair from the moment you enter. As you are invited upstairs and escorted to your table, you will notice the quiet, intimate setting. It is amazing that the staff rush around with such focused composure. The dress code of the staff reflects that of the customers — polished and semi-formal. Water is, as expected, always provided when needed so that your cup is never empty. The wine pairing is optional, but I have never partaken in it. The staff rotate around in bringing your dishes, so you will have several people helping you, explaining and identifying the dishes. If you are lucky, Elizabeth herself may bring you a course! Every meal has an amuse, start, appetizer, intermezzo, entrée and sweet, along with kale chips of some sort. Since the meal is raw, the key is to go during a time of year when you appreciate the produce the most. Winter and fall, expect squashes, spring and summer, expect fruits and greens. Also, despite what you may believe, you will not leave hungry. Vegan raw food is filling, and when there are 6 courses plus kale chips, you will be quite full, possibly so full that you needn’t eat breakfast as soon as you wake the next day. I love the size of the dishes, because that is what is most fun: trying as much as possible. That is my favorite part of this meal. When can you go somewhere and as an individual order 7 different dishes? You will only receive strange looks, and likely, you will end up with much to take home. Here, the portions are perfect. The themes vary, but there seems to always be some sort of soup and sorbet. These are impressive — they are not your standard soups and sorbets. The blend of ingredients is simple but balanced with fresh, vibrant ingredients and flavors — I would never place salt and olive oil as a garnish for sorbet, but it is perfectly executed here. The soups are not a chopped up mix of vegetables but a delightful blend of fruit and vegetable juices, with elegantly placed pieces of fruits and vegetables. This recent menu item of Yellow Watermelon Soup had a cherry tomato filled with a smoky cashew yogurt — brilliant. The menu also tends to have an item with an avant garde theme of some cracker, some foam and something else. This time, the item was a soft red wine nut-based cracker with kelp caviar and green apple foam — how they made the caviar from kelp is beyond me. A chef d’oeuvre for the vegan raw repertory, but for the culinary world in general. The entrée and sweet courses were also stellar, though not nearly as earth-shatteringly creative as the caviar, the flavors were extraordinary blends with beautiful plating. Yes, you can eat«chocolate» as a raw diner, and yes, raw papaya can be used for more than just salad. Accolades and kudos to the chef and culinary team at Elizabeth’s. This is the best high end raw vegan restaurant in the country, period. If you know of another one… message me. Can’t wait to go again, but, I just have to be ready to justify the price. For 6 courses and kale chips, it is a steal at this magical venue, but if you are like me, you will likely only venture here for special celebrations in life. Cheers!

The most amazing restaurant! My fiancé and I went to Elizabeths Gone Raw to celebrate our engagement. He was going to propose there but decided he was too embarrassed to have people watch. Fortunately, we still went out after I said yes because we have been talking about going to Elizabeths gone Raw for almost a year. Anyways, the starter was beet tartar. Tiny portion on a spoon and fantastic. The second plate was green strawberry and tomato salad perfectly presented. After this, they gave us kale chips. So good! I think they must have put nutritional yeast and some other spices on top and it was phenomenal. I wish I had the time and skill to make these on the regular or they sold them by the bag. Third was avocado gazpacho. Literally the best soup I have ever had. I actually don’t like soup at all but this might have been my favorite part. Intermezzo was something like a cucumber gelato. The main entrée was artichoke ravioli. I think it had a salt foam and maybe some chocolate somewhere. I could be totally off because this dish was more complex than I could comprehend and amazing. Last was three ice creams. One chocolate, one apricot, and another vanilla bean. We also had wine, cocktails, etc. and the bill came to about $ 300. Totally worth it. If I won the lottery I would eat here every day(except they are only open on Fridays). My fiancé is a big italian guy who loves to eat and we were really concerned he would still be hungry afterwards but he was really full. Though the portions are somewhat small, there are six courses plus kale chips so you are not at all hungry after. The inside is beautiful and service is great. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegan, vegetarian, or omni.

Came here with bf for his Bday. They were nice enough to put his name on his menu as a keepsake. Atmosphere and staff are wonderful– very friendly and intimate. Gorgeous space. Unlimited kale chips are DELICIOUS. All the six courses were wonderful. Beautiful presentation and taste. Wonderful mingling of flavors. I’m a raging carnivore and I was completely satisfied. There’s an on-site sommelier who recommended a wonderful wine to pair with our dishes. Overall, highly recommended for a special occasion!

Elizabeth’s is an upscale raw /vegan DC restaurant, only open for diners Friday evenings. The rest of the week, they are a catering company. But you can tell that their passion is of the raw /vegan variety. What an outstanding passion it is! Heart and soul, creativity and detail are manifest in each course. Starting with the amuse-bouche of green tomato soup that is concocted with almond milk and yacon crème, kale chips are presented as well for unlimited snacking pleasure. The official starter then is the forest mushroom and asparagus salad. Most impressive was the coconut«bacon» in this course. Amazing — I was«convinced!» Next was the appetizer of «cheese»(really nut) which was truly splendid and at this point I started to become convinced that I could eat raw /vegan far more often with some creativity. Intermezzo divided the dining experience with a mulberry and pink grapefruit sorbet. Now this was served with olive oil, which requires a more sophisticated palate. I appreciate the unusual clever combination here and applaud the risk! Bravo! The next course was the entrée of black caviar roll with anise crème. The ingredients here included pearl onion, maca powder, onion, and dill. Heavenly! I ordered a Pinot noir at this point to complement the entrée, and it was well-paired with the underlying earthy tones of the course. Last but definitely not least was the dessert — a not so sweet but very satisfying hemp seed cracker and Sunkist Orange mousse with candied pistachio and fresh raspberry. My oh my! That mousse was out of this world. Such a wonderful combination here, and at this point I was quite full! Elizabeth and team were wonderful. The owner and namesake Elizabeth Petty herself walked around and chatted with us, refreshed our kale chips, and gave me some tips for incorporating more raw /vegan into my diet as I had just finished a three day juice cleanse and felt ready to establish a holistically healthy lifestyle. The whole wait staff was so friendly and down to earth, answering any questions we had about the drinks and food. The setting is gorgeous. It can be rented out any day of the week(besides Friday)! Its two floors are romantic and cozy, yet still spacious. Bravo to the venue!

This place is what I’d consider a once-in-a-lifetime experience, largely because of the price tag. Fine dining is not the sort of setting where I’m comfortable, and the food has to be really, really, out-of-this-world to make me forget how much I’m paying. Elizabeth’s Gone Raw ALMOST hit that mark. Almost. I will say that the food here made me think differently about food, and that was the biggest payoff. When I saw the menu, they were clearly going for an Italian theme, but I groaned inwardly because celery, artichokes, and zucchini all featured prominently on it, and those are my three least favorite foods. But Elizabeth’s Gone Raw delivered not just edible, but incredibly tasty dishes made out of all three. First came the zucchini, which was thinly shaved and topped with a vinaigrette and some capers. Simple? Yes, but the zucchini was very fresh – impressive for a summer squash in winter – and it stood out on its own. The cucumber/apple/celery sorbet floating in olive oil, a course that I was actively dreading, was the biggest surprise of all. The celery overtook the apple in the sorbet, so the first bite made me cringe a bit(I can’t emphasize how much I hate celery). But the olive oil mellowed out the sharpness of that particular flavor, and when mixed with some salt flakes, made for a very nice and refreshing palette cleanser, which I think was the intention of the dish. As for the artichokes, the main component of the entrée was a sausage stuffed with them. The sausage was delicious – rich and flavorful, it blended nicely with a cashew-based basil cream that was drizzled across the plate. The dish was topped with a «cracker» that looked like a sail, tasted like a cheese straw, and had an odd texture that was probably due to its method of preparation(I’m going to guess dehydrated instead of baked). Combined with the semi-dried tomatoes that studded the plate, the dish was reminiscent of summery Italian fare. The dehydrated kale chips, as others have mentioned, were delicious, tangy, and brought out by the waiters in a steady stream, to the point where we had to ask them to stop. By far the biggest highlight was the dessert. Two dark chocolate truffles, one with orange filling and one with ginger/cayenne filling, flanked a scoop of pineapple sorbet. They were out of the goji berry sorbet that was promised, but that was fine. The thick, almost bitter chocolate was perfect with the fruit, and the balance of creamy to lightness was just right. The only jarring note in this otherwise beautiful chord was the ginger filling in the truffle, which reminded me oddly of Chinese takeout. My only other complaint about the food was that the amuse-bouche, which was a chestnut soup, was not nearly amusing enough. The flavor, which some might call«delicate,» was mostly underwhelming and left me coughing with bits of chestnut in my throat. Then again, I guess the amuse-bouche is intended to gently wake up the palate rather than startle it, so maybe it was supposed to be on the subtle side. I’d like to imagine the chef knew what he was doing. And the service, while very friendly, felt overly stuffy for this kind of playful, fun food. When I mentioned this to a friend at the table, he countered that it’s difficult for vegans to find a fine-dining atmosphere, so that makes sense. But there were a lot of waiters running around, and it felt quite a bit like a posh wedding – which makes sense, given that they run a catering business the other 6 days a week. It just detracts from an otherwise peaceful atmosphere when waiters are politely peering out at you from the kitchen every 5 minutes or so, coming up to take your plate, then realizing you’re not done and gracefully walking away. The sommelier was wonderful. I think I was expecting snobbery because I’ve never interacted with a sommelier before, but he was friendly and got us just as excited about the wine and cocktails as he was. While we didn’t do the $ 50/person wine pairing, he did help us pick a nice bottle of white(forgive me, I don’t remember what it was) as well as some cocktails. When I asked about gin drinks, he recommended a handmade goji berry tonic-type soda with… some kind of organic gin. They even found a way to replicate a dark and stormy for my boyfriend. All were delicious. Another reviewer described this a more of a production than a meal – I would partially agree with that, but despite its general daintiness, this is a meal that will leave you satisfied, but not overly stuffed. Your wallet, however, might be a little worse for the wear.

RAW-mazing! This experience was enough to make Elizabeth’s Gone Raw(EGR) one of my favorite restaurants. For starters, I received a bowl of the best kale chips ever. Elizabeth stopped by and told me they kale is massaged in with cayenne, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and clearly love. After being dehydrated over night at 115 degrees, it provided a crunchy, spicy, cheesy chip that exploded in my mouth. I am not even sure it’s fair to boast about what I enjoyed since the menu changes weekly, but my 6-course prix fixe menu included: Amuse– Coconut ‘Bacon’ Wrapped Date with maple syrup, nama shoyu, and young Thai coconut. It was two bite-sized dates that melted in my mouth. The bacon was formed from the rind of a coconut. I didn’t expect to enjoy it since I am not a fan of coconut but it was devine. Start — Split Pea Soup with avocado, black cardamom and ‘smoked ham’. The ham was also made with the rind of coconut but the flavor of a smoke ham was very evident. Before this soup, I though I hated avocado but EGR has made me a believer. Simply amazing. The soup was heated in the Vita-mix blender and then served in a warm bowl. –Appetizer– Beet & Apple Ravioli with spinach purée, parsley and fennel foam. This was definitely going to be my favorite because I love beets and apples. As soon as the waitress put my plate on the table, I inhaled it. She didn’t even have a chance to tell me how it was made before I was finishing her sentence. This appetizer alone could have been my entire meal and I would have been satisfied. But it didn’t stop there… –Intermezzo– Apple & Celery Sorbet with sel gris and olive oil. Just a dollop but enough to cleanse the palette and prepare you for the entrée. The marriage of apple and celery was very satisfying. –Entrée– Pink Banana Squash Cannelloni with portobello mushrooms, spinach, and sun dried tomato. Holy smokes! After eating this, I asked if I could take the menu home. I MUST try to recreate this dish as it was phenomenal. My taste buds were awakened and starting doing the electric slide in my mouth. I almost cried from joy. –Sweet– Chocolate Ganache Tart & Raspberry Sorbet made with raw cacao and coconut. Again, not a fan of chocolate or coconut but this dessert was delicious. It just explained me to that I don’t like the processed forms of chocolate or anything that tastes like coconut. Everything I ate was uncooked and therefore the flavor was very evident. It’s tricky because the portions do no look like enough to do any damage but by the time I was on my fourth course, I was stuffed. I really couldn’t chew anymore but I was reminded of the $ 75 per person price and I kept chewing. This was also around the time I remembered it would have been cool to take pictures of my experience. Also note the restaurant is only open on Fridays and reservations start at 6PM. If my wallet allows, I will be back Friday and the Friday after that, and the Friday after that.
