The food and service were good. We went for brunch. We were disappointed that the cappuccino and espresso was an extra charge and couldn't be a substitute out for a bottomless alcoholic beveridge (which were included along with regular coffee, tea and OJ).

The food was good, the ambiance was a little too rowdy and they took a long time to seat our reservation. Clearly they overbook themselves

Feel like in Le Relais de L'Entrecot but in DC. Increible tender meat with fabulous fries and the sauce just amazing. Sald and desserts are incredible as well. As for Juliana, she's just amazing.

Superb dinner. Outdoor dining was really pleasant , and the service was attentive without disturbing our company gathering. This is our company to go choice because of the simple menu and easy access to the metro.
