I made this reservation due to SEI's proximity to the Capital One Arena because we were coming to town for Michael Buble's concert. I checked local restaurants, leaning toward Asian food, and found great menu choices and reviews for SEI. The staff were extremely friendly, food was superb and the whole experience helped make our evening in Washington one to remember. More

I had never been before, but loved Crimson! Before dinner we grabbed a drink at the downstairs whiskey bar level, which was massive, but still such a cozy, relaxed vibe. The diner's menu was vast and had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from (much appreciated, Crimson, thank you!!) and the milkshakes and cocktails were delicious. Prices were very reasonable for what you got, and I can't wait to go back and try more. Service was rather slow, but that was the only negative, which is not bad at all. More
