BTDT, don't need to go back.

+2. Minibar, on the other hand, lived up to the hype, imo

Millies in Spring Valley. Way overpriced for what you get. Food fine but not amazing, especially for the price. It is the only decent place in the neighborhood though.

I liked the food at Bad Saint. I wouldn’t go back though because I am too old to deal with that queue shit.

For me I guess it’s the hype, as I don’t feel that the food, service or ambience live up to it. Perhaps if it was a simple neighborhood bistro that you could easily get a table at, I would like it more. I don’t find it crowded or obnoxious, I just think it’s not worth it

Agree! Was it the eager-beaver waiter?

Overrated:
Fiola
Seasons 52
Sushi Taro
Le Diplotmate - food is always over-salted
Roses Luxury

Actually good, not overrated:
Blue Duck
Tail Up Goat
Rasika (but it has been awhile since I've been)
Little Serow

Mirabelle is overpriced with a rude server to boot. Very overrated.

It's not "new" new, but Momofuku also sucks.

Another one for Seasons 52. I have a coworker who loves that place and wants to go to Seasons 52 if we are traveling for work and in a city with one of them.

No, no, no...... Roses luxury is in no way overrated. The queue is a hassle but the price is reasonable and the food is superb!

Old Ebbitt Grill. Bland, unimaginative food; skimpy portions and jacked up prices.

“Queue?” I thought we were talking about DC, not London, restaurants. Or maybe you’re just trying to sound fancy.
