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.

Lovely evening, delicious food, overpriced (like all Atlas restaurants), but that was something we knew ahead of time! We were willing to spurge. BUT the live musician (a guy with his acoustic guitar) was truly terrible. Too loud, to start with, but worse, he could not sing!! His guitar work was quite competent and if he’d left it there, we could hav Randle’s the volume. But his voice is unpleasant and he managed to make every song (blues, rock, jazz, etc) sound exactly the same. It was painful to hear some favorites distorted. We were relieved when he took a break and they put on perfectly pleasant recorded background music at a reasonable volume.
