   As is the case with food costs at most sit-down restaurants in D.C., you'll pay more than you think you should. But with that caveat, I'm a fan. The service was very responsive and the taste of almost every menu item is great. They are really creative with their dishes here. Today, I paid $24 for the egg white omelet (tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach & onions) with turkey bacon and multi-toast. The omelet was a hearty portion, and the eggs were incredibly fluffy and flavorful. I don't normally like pesto, but on this dish, it really works. The turkey bacon was floppy, not crispy, but I didn't specify prep, so if you like it well-done, tell them because they might not ask. The Uncle Nearest Blackberry Smash at $17 (Uncle Nearest bourbon, honey syrup, lemon juice, blackberry syrup, & mint) was a great add! Highly recommended! The decor and ambience is generally good, with almost every seat letting you people watch through all the windows. But on a typical weekend (and today), you will deal with a LOT of loud conversations. People have a good time here! If you are looking for a more intimate conversation, this won't be your spot. I'd recommend this for a group outing easily but for a date with hesitation. Though I've never had a long wait without a reservations on a Saturday morning, I started getting one as a matter of course, and now I' NEVER have to wait. They move like clockwork if you're in their books and show up on time.

   Great service! Not crazy about the deviled eggs but the salmon cakes and Brussels were great.

   Was just ok. Was there for brunch and the server was nice but forgot several items. My wife’s food looked great (egg white omelet) and mine (cheesecake pancakes) was average.

   Trying to pass off “southern inspired” but the only thing southern was the biscuits. Over priced and the food was decent but service did not feel welcoming.

   The service was poor and slow. The food was fair to poor. The salmon was dry and the kale was soggy.

    Came in with a reservation, with the understanding it may be busy due to the new year. We waited 40+ minutes to be seated, once sat we were not given menus, water or even had a staff member acknowledge we were there. After waiting an additional 20 minutes for a waiter and having multiple waitstaff continuously walk past us my husband decided we will take our business elsewhere.
