    Food and service were good but the 20% fee “to cover operational costs” (doesn’t cover tip for wait staff) is a subterfuge, a bait and switch. Menu prices seem reasonable but as a customer you need to add the 20% to get the real price. Customers are smart enough to understand what they are doing. Won’t be coming back.

    The service and food are amazing. The environment is very conducive to a nice celebration or business lunch. The location is easy to find for visitors and convenient for the DC office crowd.

    My friends and I came for brunch and had a great time. The food was outstanding and such a great value to get an app, entree, dessert, and bottomless mimosas for just $40/pp.

    It was our fist time at the restaurant and it was really amazing the staff, the food and all the good stuff that we got, I would recommend this place to have a good time and good experience, you can have a good food anywhere but not the good food and good experience together.!! It’s was great.!!
