Service was the best- Andrea was a very attentive personable polished waitress. Food was excellent- every dish. Ambiance was good- great selection toon of music at a reasonable volume. The views over top of Mt. Vernon were also exceptional. When the opportunity presents itself again this will be our go-to place!

It was lovely atmosphere & great to see around the city. Something needs to be done for winter because if you are in a booth by the windows, you can feel the cold coming in through the window. Everyone that was in a booth like us was sitting as far to the edge away from the window as possible.

Great ambience and view of the Washington Monument. Nice open space but not noisy. Very chill vibes. Delicious food especially the Spanish shrimp, tuna, burrata and beets, and the gumbo. Will definitely visit again.

The food and service from Hannah, our waitress, was so amazing. The flavor profile is spot on for each item on the menu. From the Spainsh shrimp to the Sunday dinner short rib. We loved it here.

Food was amazing. Service was less than desirable (slow service, including valet). Breathtaking views from our table.
