    We are visiting the DC area and I reserved this spot for my mom’s birthday and it was great. Everything we ordered was delicious and the decorations for Christmas were a fun touch. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area!

    Had to wait a long time for the table even with a reservation due to half the restaurant being held for a holiday party. But the food and service was good once we were finally seated.

    The City Tap House - Penn Quarter was PACKED so I'm glad we were able to get reservations. The food was excellent, but conversation at the dinner table was difficult because it was very noisy. We had a few issues with ordering via the QR code. When I ordered my food, the site returned an error. When I resubmitted my order, I had two orders. I was able to flag down someone who had to go to the kitchen to cancel my duplicate order. Then I had a third food order waiting to be submitted, so I had to flag someone down again to delete it from my order. The online system could use some improvements, but overall it was a good experience. The food and drinks came out quickly and I found I actually liked ordering and paying from my phone. The link to Apple Pay made it a SNAP! That being said, I received a phishing email overnight that my Apple Pay had been suspended. I deleted that, but it makes me wonder about the security of the online system.
