    Great food! Very loud though, if you don’t like that I would avoid. Lively happy hour scene there Thursday after work.

    The food lacked depth and flavor integrity. Most of the dishes had me confused as to what exactly i was eating. It was more geared for the eyes than the palate. I had hoped for more from Chef Andres. I'll keep trying his other places. I'm in DC a lot.

    Had my birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint. Started with the Floral Cloud craft cocktail - unlike most I have tried this one earned its name and was worth drinking. Did the shrimp cocktail which included 5 large prawns nicely chilled. Main entree was the pulled chicken - nicely prepared with crispy skins and fantastic potato puree. Finished with the deconstructed key lime pie which had all the tartness I was looking for but was surprisingly light. City dining is pretty expensive and overall I felt the pricing for this quality food was very reasonable. Service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and return.

    Excellent service and each entree was very well-prepared. The ceilings are very high so it was difficult to have a normal level of conversation.
