The whole package of fine vegan dining - Edit
The restaurant is in a beautiful townhouse with many portraits from the 18th and 19th centuries hung throughout the dining and entrance areas. When we asked about the art, Elizabeth, who was on the floor greeting guests, gave us some interesting info.
Read moreThe staff was very cordial, the pace of the food service was just right, and the quality of each dish was excellent. We were there to celebrate a graduation and it became a perfect night for us. Highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for a place for a special occasion.

Amazing unique experience - Edit
Every dish clearly had so much thought and technique put into it. The early courses are are on the small "tasting" side and I def wish I could have more of them especially the "smoked salmon" one, but they later courses become more normal sized portions so that you're full by the end.
Read moreWe also had the Cheese platter which was worth sharing among 4 at $40 but the only thing that really stood out was the fig jam. The cheeses are made in house we're told but they all were really mild flavored. I'd even recommend savoring them without the provided crackers/plantains, though the plaintains do add some salt.
If you go just for the prix fixe menu it's probably going to run you $150 with tax/tip, given how much even fast food vegan is now, that's not far off from several burgers.
It was also nice to see Elizabeth working the floor to the point that she removed dirty dishes from our table and we weren't quite sure if that was her or not :)
Pros: Unique dishes, great technique

Fine dining - Edit
An amazing experience. We went on a Saturday evening. The offering was the vegan tasting menu. The food is exceptional as it was beautiful. The atmosphere was lovely. To the staff, sommelier and Elizabeth herself, everyone was so kind and accommodating to our needs. DC’s finest vegan dining.

The Finest Dining Experience! - Edit
The six course meal was like nothing we had ever experienced. Well planned coursing, delicious flavor, beautifully presented. Quite expensive but if able, this would be the the time to splurge for a special occasion. It may have exhibited pretention, but the staff made us feel welcome and the food delivered a unique dining experiece. Vedge in Philly is the only other Vegan restaurant that can compare to this one. Many thanks to the thoughtful staff.

Actually Worth It - Edit
I usually regret doing high dollar things for myself like this, but as far as high end vegan goes... this one is actually worth it if you can afford it for a special occasion. I had not 1, but 2 of the most mind blowing dishes of my life here. In a single night.
Read morePros: Unique location, Mind blowing dishes/flavor combinations, Fun pre-determined 6 courses
Cons: Price of course, we spent $400+ for 2 people

An Ethical Lab Grown Culinary Gem in DC! - Edit
Elizabeth's Gone Raw is a culinary gem in DC! The food and wine pairing experience was absolutely exquisite. Each dish was a work of art, narrating a story through its vibrant flavors and textures. The wines elegantly danced with the dishes, enhancing every bite. The service was top-notch, although we had to have our table physically moved a couple of times due to our initial seating against the wall. Despite that minor inconvenience, Elizabeth's Gone Raw remains a must-visit for its exceptional storytelling through food and outstanding service. A 5-star experience!

Food as an artful experience - Edit
Not just any fancy meal, this is food as an artful experience! In the past, whenever I came across deep descriptions about a transformative and mind-blowing dining experience, I'd think okay.. sure, but how is that possible? I thought I must not have the tastebuds or imagination for that type of thing. But after eating here, I completely agree with the assessment that their food has the ability to "transport you back in time to a memory or specific moment." The way they present the ingredients can really evoke memories through your senses. It's easily worth the $105 per person.
Read moreThe staff at Elizabeth's Gone Raw are highly skilled. They maintain the perfect balance of professionalism and lightheartedness, making for a non-judgemental and exciting environment. They're intentional and knowledgeable, synchronized in their work. Placing dishes down at the same time for everyone at your table, lifting the glass off your plates at the same time. When an aromatic smoke pours out from the glasses they lift up, it hits everyone's senses at the same time.. They really do a great job and pay attention to all the fine details.
Eating the meal in the way they suggest really contributes to the positive experience. They tell you about trying certain things first alone, they explain their ingredients and certain methods, and they communicate intention. Multiple times throughout this meal, not only was it some of the best food I've had, but I kept saying to myself, "How did they think of this!?" Very creative combinations and transitions.

Yes 😄 If you come here, definitely aim for the prix fixe if possible. This current menu is genuinely fantastic. But also at the bar you can come and just order the cheese platter. And that cheese is INCREDIBLE

Incredible & Creative - Edit
This was such a wonderful dining experience. The ambience was beautiful and intimate. The staff was remarkable with their presentation of each course. Everyone helped everyone else and it. The food was so delicious and amazingly creative and the presentation of each course was stunningly prepared. It is expensive, but totally worth every dime. We were so full we had to take food home.

This place is pricey but well worth it. They make it a dining experience, taking the time to explain each course and what makes it special. You may think the portions are small at first but after a few courses you’ll be left beyond satisfied. If you’re looking for an experimental fine dining experience that uses vegetables in ways you’ll never imagine, I highly recommend Elizabeth’s!

A plus! (And I am a hard grader!) - Edit
Yup. $105 six course tasting menu. Yup worth it. Everything (most everything) was unique and fabulous. Whatever wasn’t fabulous was good. In the top 10 of meals I’ve had. Complex unique flavors.
Read moreI also had the wine pairing which was extraordinary. Also worth it.
Elizabeth herself was about and welcoming. Sommelier was knowledgeable and fun. Waitstaff was flawless and delightful.
Pros: Top notch vegan food, Service is great, Nice setting
Cons: Expensive (but worth it), Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday only
