    Food was amazing, wait time between drinks and ordering food a little excessive. But it was worth the wait, my lady’s filet was cooked to perfection as well as my rockfish!!!

    We came on valentines night and showed up to our reservation on time (even early). We sat waited an hour before our drinks and bread were brought to the table. We then waited another 20-30 mins before our entrees were brought out. Our waiter was a bit inattentive and didnt apologize for the wait until we brought it up. We probably won’t be back

    It wasn’t a bad dinner experience but definitely not the best! Server was not attentive to our table of two and i had to continuously call out for his attention. Appetizers were excellent even though some of it was cold(calamari, ceasar salad and crab cakes). We ordered a NY Strip cooked medium and it came medium well/well done and it had obviously been resting in the back for a while! The Lobster mac and cheese was a waste and tasted like box Kraft while the garlic green beans were not as bad. However, the Massachusetts scallops were phenomenal and we took these home for later! Overall, decent experience but i don’t have to come back!

    Our bartender Wayne is very personable, always remembers our food and drink orders. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. He is one of the best bartenders in the DC area. We will be returning again next week.
