    Thank you for holding our reservation beyond the expected time of arrival with our phone call. We had a car and had to return home for our other car. Then because of today’s marathon we couldn’t take the fastest route. We’re grateful you accommodated us. We enjoyed our burgers and fries and made it to the concert on time. Bravo for great service!

    Lovely space overlooking the sculpture garden and reflecting pool. We actually dined earlier and were seated in the bar area. The service and food were wonderful and we had a nice time.

    We visited the restaurant with our two granddaughters. It was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. Despite that, we experienced a long wait for our food, and it wasn’t clear why it took so long.
