    Picked this place to try with friends we haven’t seen in a while. The menu had a great variety of foods and flavors. The prices were great for a farm to table place. The food was very good. We had the Duck, Meatloaf, and ribeye. Drinks were great. We’ll definitely be back.

    This place has a nice atmosphere: cozy couches & a fireplace. Tables are solid wood, chairs comfortable. The food looked good, but all of it was under seasoned. I kept adding salt on my lamb shank. Ditto for my wife's scallop & shrimp risotto. The Brussel sprouts were great. Service was great. Our waiter was attentive & knowledgeable.

    What the heck. This place was quite the surprise. It blew us away. The food was surprisingly good. We ordered several different times, and each time the food came out fresh, hot, quickly, and looked like an artist put it together. The jumbo shrimp with cilantro goodness was amazing. Calamari better than it should have been. The service was amazing. The prices? Way too low. Happy hour prices are ridiculous. I mean so ridiculously low. I think maybe they just love people. I’m not sure. I’d make this my go to spot if I lived here.

    We had breakfast at the Tabard Inn because it looked like a unique hotel that I wanted to check out, and it was within walking distance from where I was staying. The hotel was charming and unique in its eclectic furnishings. The dining room was quiet. The breakfast was almost half what I paid at the Jefferson Hotel the day before and twice as good. I had eggs over easy. I asked for my bacon well done. It was cooked to perfection and one of the best orders of bacon I ever had. The biscuit and hash browns, which were more like roasted potatoes, were delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I would return the next time I'm in DC.
