    We had an amazing meal at District. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Jeremy, did a wonderful job of making menu suggestions and we were not disappointed. They even gave my husband a very delicious dessert for his birthday. A great place we are looking forward to visiting again.

    The Fesenjoon was good but the scallops were overcooked and the risotto was a bit bland. Steak was good though. A bit pricey for what you get.

    First they didn’t have my reservation which wasn’t a problem Couse it was empty, but it took 20 mins to get water, another 20 to get drinks finally the food got served but one plate was hot of grill and the other stone cold, not a great experience, mimosas were warm, just not great. Very sad and disappointing

    District never disappoints! The patio dining is relaxed with oak trees buffering the road traffic in distance. The Rainbow Trout was wonderful as always. We also had the Pea Manchego Ravioli which was excellent. Our server was Katherine was great. We’re so fortunate to have this neighborhood Gem in our community. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I felt looked down upon due to my race, I was waited on poorly, my plates were left at the table with flies piling up on them untold I asked another waiter to please remove the plates. The waitress definitely did want to service me and my friend, I had talked so highly to my friend about this place issue to past experience with my white boyfriend, yesterday was a terrible experience.
