Coming in DC from another state , we wanted to gather somewhere to eat and gather together on my Birthday week with our family. We were told that it was 90’s - 2000’s music. At first we were a little hesitant concerning the younger crowd, but our Server gave us one of the best experiences that made us have our own personal party within The Party. She was phenomenally Great. I can’t recall her name but she was Beautiful with top notch service.

Everything about it was excellent. Happy hour drinks were great value and the Sake was really smooth. The lamb chop, baked potato and skirt steak were a highlight.
