- NNICHELLEWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoI enjoyed the food, but I was disappointed that I couldn't make any changes to the brunch items. I was told that everything is pre-prepared and served exactly as described on the menu. For instance, I don't like mushrooms and couldn't request their removal from my omelet. The waiter explained that it would be too time-consuming and put too much strain on the kitchen staff to cook items to order.More infoStation 4Price: Moderate• Contemporary American• Waterfront•4.1
- MMWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoI had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. The food was exceptional—starting with the onion tart, which had a delightful sweetness from the glaze and was truly outstanding. For my entrée, I chose the lemon pepper linguine, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced and unforgettable. The evening was made even more special as I was celebrating my good friend’s 60th birthday. The setting and ambiance were perfect, creating a truly memorable experience!More infoJackiePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Navy Yard•4.6
