    I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

    Four of us ate here before theater at Olney. Our server made sure that the food came out in a timely manner. Our group shared 2 orders of the roasted oysters. Amazing! We also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and beet salad, and appreciated that 3 of the pastas came in half portions. Looking forward to a return visit!

    Attentive staff, and knowledgeable about my dietary requirements. Good timing. You don't have to wait too long for your food, but they are also not that speedy that you feel rushed. Delicious food (we had the Honey thyme spatchcock chicken, and, Yankee pot roast).
