Reception

Todd Kliman of Washingtonian magazine wrote, "Look, I've eaten at a Chef Geoff’s probably 25 times, and of those 25 perhaps 3-4 of those meals were only okay. It nearly always hits its mark. And you can usually expect good service and a good atmosphere. CG's is like a double. It'll never be a homerun. It's not trying to be." [5]
