We went before a Caps game and it was packed but that didn’t stop service from being great. Cocktails, oyster appetizer and entrees were delicious. Great ambiance. Can’t wait to go back.

The food and service were both very good. But this restaurant is LOUD. Conversation, even at a 2-top, is nearly impossible.

Making a booking was key as we were there just before a Capital's home game. Even with the restaurant full of jerseys, our server was wonderful, repeating things and checking in with each end of our long table, and making sure drink orders were filled promptly. Dinner and dessert were tasty, and splitting the checks at the end of the night was a breeze. Great spot to gather in DC.

We had a business lunch on a cold and quiet Friday, so it wasn't very crowded. The food was good and the server was pleasant and available. Open kitchen with bistro feel. Would visit again.
