We have liked District 118 but the last 2 times someone, from the waitstaff to kitchen, got an order wrong so an entree was delayed. This last time the staff did not act surprised. We will try again at some point...

My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.
