Excellent, attentive staff. The drinks were perfect and the food amazing! It was a surprise find on our first night in DC. It had a fun vibe with a beautiful bar. My only complaint is self inflicted since I need a new eye prescription as it was difficult to read the menu in the low lighting. However, the lighting contributed to the moody ambiance.

Food was very good. We had brunch items, an omelet and a quiche. Service was slow but when acknowledged, they were apologetic and they gave a a basket of delicate cheese biscuits. The music duo was a very nice touch.

Service was excellent. Drinks, Escargot and soufflé were delicious. (It does take 20 minutes to make the soufflé so good to put your order in early if you are crunched for time).

The food was exceptional and the restaurant was gorgeous. Don't expect to spend less than 100 a person, though, if drinking alcohol with your meal.

A disappointing meal. Most dishes were served lukewarm warm. The French onion soup had piping hot cheese atop barely warm soup. Other dishes were unremarkable
