    Steak was pretty good but the fact that we spent over $40 on a small piece of meat and not even a side dish with it like baked potato or even fries is ridiculous!!! Heck our friends with us got half a plate of fries with their $20 hamburger. Also service was pretty crappy and the server never checked back after our food was served to ask if our meal was ok or we were missing something. And it would have been nice if they checked back to see if we wanted anymore drinks or refilled our waters. Also we were told later that there was a mix up as to which server was actually handling our table. For spending over $200 for 4 people, this place was a big disappointment!!!!’

    I was with a party of 6 and every item we ordered was amazing, from cocktails to dessert. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We has such a wonderful evening there.

    Went before a Capitals game for brunch. Food was delicious, especially chocolate donuts. Our bartender/waitress was awesome.

    Fun place for younger (20-30 age group). Food was well prepared and tasty. My Lemon Drop cocktail was perfect. But it is noisy and not very comfortable.

    I called ahead to let the restaurant know that I would be running 10 minutes late. We arrived five minutes after our 6:30 reservation time. We had to wait an additional 20 minutes before we were seated at our table. The staff seemed apologetic, but there was nothing that could be done. we were going to an 8 PM show and therefore the meal seemed rushed.
