    Making a booking was key as we were there just before a Capital's home game. Even with the restaurant full of jerseys, our server was wonderful, repeating things and checking in with each end of our long table, and making sure drink orders were filled promptly. Dinner and dessert were tasty, and splitting the checks at the end of the night was a breeze. Great spot to gather in DC.

    Great service, attentive and accommodating. Food was good. Appreciated tofu/vegetarian offers. Expresso Martini excellent. Manhattan “up” delicious. The thyme lemon gin drink very good (but could have used a bit of garnish or something, like thyme sprig).

    We went for Black Restaurant Week and had a wonder time! The menu they curated was very good. We ordered the devil eggs and flat bread for appetizers. Both were delicious. For the main course we ordered the Salmon and Pasta were amazing as well as the blueberry cobble! Derrick, our server was very informed and was able to assist us with ordering. He was very friendly and attened to us with impeccable service. We will be coming back!
