The food was very good. They don't have a bar area to sit in and they don't have a full bar they only have house crafted cocktails.

What a great place to dine! I have been hearing about Chef Tobias and the Honcho House for a long time. Living in Bmore, I don't make many treks to DC to dine, but I was definitely up for the experience. Drinks were great. My friend loved the Dragonfruit Margarita. We both ordered the Chesapeake and while I could see my reflection in my bowl, my girl opted to take hers home. If this was brunch, I'm definitely returning for dinner. #HappyDining #HappyEats

Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
