Reviews
"The service and atmosphere were nice. We sat at the bar because we were there during peak dinner hours. They were very attentive with fast service. We ordered the garlic peppered wings which are super delicious especially with the lime. The cheeseburger was basic nothing special. The onion rings were very over cooked. The veggie burger was very bland thank goodness for hot sauce to give it some flavor. Also the veggie burger resembles a uncooked burger which is also a turn off."
"We went for DC Restaurant Week to do their lunch menu. We asked the waitress whether they’re still doing the special and she said yes, except that it wouldn’t start until after 3pm (we went at noon). Mind you, the Restaurant Week special is not a set menu at this place, so it was a bit strange that they wouldn’t let us do it. We saw the breakfast brunch set up and it looked incredibly cramped and people didn’t have much room to move around to get food. It’s not a very big space and it felt as if everyone was on top of each other trying to navigate through the place."
"Had a great brunch experience so decided to go back the next day. Felt like a totally different place. Service was excruciatingly slow to the point where we got another server to bring some of our items and our bill. I started timing how long it took for everything. 10 minutes just to get our drinks which was a tea and a Chai latte. And it was very slow maybe 4 other tables in the entire restaurant. Who were having the same issue as us. We were all just looking around for our server. The fried chicken, although very delicious, had more batter on it than meat. I prefer to go when they are crazy busy. I felt more taken care of then."
"Went for brunch and OH MAN! I wish I could eat here every day. The dishes were all so delicious and perfectly cooked. The Benedict’s are not to be missed, the scrambled eggs melt in your mouth, the French toast with banana foster topping made me want to go back for thirds, and the rest all kept me eating much more than I should have. The brunch is more on the 4.8 stars rating, you have to try it!"
"The restaurant is very, very loud once it gets full. But the food is always good and staff is always friendly. It isn’t amazing food, but it is consistent, worth the price, and you get a good size portion so you’re not hungry. We had the fried green tomatoes which were cooked perfect and that’s hard to do. My friend had the scallops and risotto. There was supposed to be crispy Brussels sprouts with it, but they only put one in. It was an accident, but not an acceptable one. They’re literally one of the three things in the dish. I had the pastrami sandwich. It was buttery and fresh. My fries were not good, but the sandwich made up for it."
