    The reason for the four star rating is because, when you have a reservation, I see no point in having to continue to wait to be seated for a few minutes after checking in. This is the only restaurant where I experience this and it happens every time I come. There are tables available in the dining room too and so, regardless of whether or not the whole party is there, when guests check in, they should be seated. Do what you need to fix this and I will give you five stars all the way! This is a good restaurant and the service is very friendly. I am a repeat customer and my hope is that this suggestion will help an already great restaurant become an even better restaurant!

    We were going to a show at Capital One Hall and this restaurant could not be more ideally located. We were quickly greeted and seated. We ordered off the Restaurant Week menu. The caesar salad has a nice kick to it and the tortilla soup is excellent. The presentation for the soup is really great. The rest of the meal was excellent and the service was very good. The only negative is the wait between our drink order delivery and the waitstaff returning to take our order. It was very busy but it was odd that people seated about ten minutes after us placed their orders before we did. The tres leches cake was very good. We will definitely return.

    We had a great birthday lunch for my mom. The service was outstanding, attentive, courteous. I didnt ask our waitress name but she was extremely attentive. We ended up choosing items from the restaurant week menu and everything was delicious. My mom ordered the filet mignon which she said was delicious (as the main entree) i ordered the steak and frites again delicious and well made, and my father ordered salmon which was tasty and included lobster risotto. Fir dessert we chose the bread pudding with rum. Honestly i cant wait to go back. This was my 2nd visit and the previous time i had been there 10 years ago. Parking was full but i was able to find street parking. Also the restaurant was full and the noise level was a bit high for my liking- but other than that- we were luxku
