    A little disappointed that they didn’t acknowledge my husband’s birthday even though the reservation asked it was a special occasion. They were out of my husband’s beer he ordered. Otherwise, the food was good.

    Understaffed. We had to get water from the bar ourselves after 30 mins of being at the table. Our drink and food arrived over 1 hr after waiting at the table. Very loud restaurant. Spoons were dirty, not washed well. Server brought plastic spoons after we returned three dirty spoons. We love Hard Rock but the DC one was terrible.

    We were caught up in traffic and had very little time to make our show at Ford’s Theatre. They got our food to us so fast! It was delicious and quick, but we didn’t feel rushed. We had enough time to eat, look around a bit, and get to our show on time. Wonderful!!

    Service was great but the food was only so-so. They forgot my nachos and when I got them you could tell they rushed the order.

    Our family of four had a great time and our waiter was amazing. He was very attentive and always refilling our drinks so quickly. My son enjoyed the live music so much.

    Book a reservation at 6:15pm two weeks ago. Didn’t sit until 7pm. Food and drinks took 45 minutes to prepare. Didn’t leave establishment until 9pm.

    The hosts and bartender were very friendly and engaging. The store employee was absent for several minutes and then not particularly helpful. I was also disappointed by the quality/poor nutrition of the food--particularly given the high price. My waitress came to my table far too many times and was too pushy for me to order various items—I found her behavior intrusive.
