   Wonderful small restaurant with high quality and creative cooking. The only improvement would be a addition of a vegan option

   Would suggest dimming the lights a bit, as it was very bright for evening dining.

   Lovely little place in the foyer of a small hotel. Close to Kennedy center. The food was okay but nothing spectacular. I had the branzino which tasted frozen. A bit expensive for the quality of the food.

   The staff were friendly and the food was great; a good spot to grab dinner before a show at the Kennedy center.
