I've enjoyed dining here before, but this was my first time attending an event at this restaurant. It was such a fun experience, mingling with both familiar and new faces! We sampled various types of specialty coffee and had the chance to meet the owners and creative director. I was touched by their generosity in giving us a bag of specialty coffee to take home and offering water and oyster mushroom samples. I only wish I had time to stay for brunch, as the restaurant's food is truly delicious.

Enjoyed a great dinner on our first visit. Service was helpful and food wonderful. The restaurant is sleek and modern without catering to the influencer crowd. A great addition to DC.

Amazing food and service. We went on a snow day in dc and the vibes were kind of low and the seats were very uncomfortable. I needed a cushion. But would definitely go back and recommend to friends. I like going out to eat at places I couldn’t make the same at home. My cooking can’t come close to a kitchen & bar. Bravo

Nice atmosphere and quiet (hopefully because of sound system which is so hard to find in DC)... The service was slow and (brunch) food was ok... I will go back to check perhaps lunch menu and if I need a quiet place...
