    Decent food and very good service, but very loud. Hard to have a conversation at your table.

    The meal I had at Proper21 was delicious. They even let me substitute sweet potato fries for mashed potatoes. And the fries were awesome and a lot! Our server was delightful and helpful. So was the host at the door. My friends enjoyed their meals, too! We’re so glad we stopped in!

    We had a blast in this lively bar, very chatty waitstaff, excellent food, strong drinks and eclectic crowd. My colleague is not a fan of sports bars (while I am an afficiando), but they had a great time. Korean chicken wings! Barataria! Rigatoni! All yum.

    I am NEVER disappointed when I dine in Proper 21. The food is always prepared well and tasty. The Prop wings are my favorite.

    I have had lunch here multiple times but dinner was a bad experience. There was a big event going on and when I went to check in they took us to the event in the bar after not even giving me time to explain I had booked on OpenTable. I did not get the table I had checked in Open Table and when taken to the high top, there were dirty water glasses there. The services was slow, the room extremely loud, and honestly I was embarrassed because I took a friend there based on my positive lunch experiences. Even the food at dinner did not looks as carefully prepped. I am not sure if this was due to the big event or that dinner is less positive than lunch.

    Great business meeting spot in downtown DC! The staff was friendly and attentive. They shared the specials and offered some good suggestions of meal options. We ordered out food and it came out pretty quickly. It was a quiet space for a private meeting. I do plan to come back.
