Located below street level in the AKA hotel, this small restaurant exudes warmth and charm. The service is gracious and attentive. My wife and I both began with the gem salad which was delicious but could have been easily shared. This was followed by the tastiest rockfish we had ever had. The panna cotta was a sweet and perfect ending to our meal.

Great service from start to finish. Ambience was cozy and in a great location overall. Great price for valet parking!! Sophisticated crowd overall with symphony-goers and local residents mixed in; very close to the Kennedy by car. Crispy mushrooms were excellent but I would get another appetizer to breakup monotony of shrooms. Lamb ribs were a bit too fatty and tuna bolognese was an interesting twist on bolognese. Portions were appropriate in size. I would return

A dream for theater goers and vegetarians! Just a quick drive or walk from the Kennedy Center, this is the perfect place to eat before a show. Also not far from Georgetown and great shopping. All the vegetable dishes are outstanding. Definitely try the rockfish!

The food and drinks were delicious. We had the fruit de mer platter (loved the variety of seafood and different sauces) and the roasted cauliflower. Service was excellent. Nice ambiance, too.
