Attentive staff, delicious food (don’t miss the Sunday Gravy and short rib agnolotti), and half-priced wine bottles on Sundays and Wednesdays—such a great surprise!

Like many I read the recent Washington Post review and was intrigued. We were going to a play at nearby Studio Theater and this really worked well. Wonderful experience! Loved the decor. The service was outstanding. It just felt very comfortable. Excellent draft beer choices and the food was great. I don’t think you can make a bad choice. Yes, the duck, and the Brussels sprouts. Dessert was great too. Can’t wait to try again.
