My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the brunch. There is not one negative thing to say about this place. Every single food item was delicious and the mimosas were good too. Our server Khai Q. was outstanding, very personable and he encouraged us to come again, which we will. We planned to go to NYC next month for my daughter’s 30th bday and she asked that we come back to DC so we come here for a bday brunch. Try this place and you will not be disappointed.

First time visiting the study, and we will definitely be back! Our server Rodney made sure that we were comfortable with the menu and offered suggestions which we took every one of. Manny, the bartender also offered a warm welcome. His cocktail list was seasonal, fun, and well crafted. AJ the dessert cook brought us his pana cotta as a surprise. Chef sent out a fun amuse bouche. Great atmosphere, service, and food 10/10!
