No staff working before a major event and lots of reservations. We were seated but no one ever came to take our order so we left.

Had a reservation. Once seated we were forgotten. Had to flag down a manager to get service. Took 25 minutes for someone to acknowledge the table. Ordered the french onion soup. Was so hot would cause 3rd degree burns if it was spilled. The turkey sandwich was dry. The burger was ok. Waitress never came back. Think she quit. Do not go to this restaurant.

This is our go to place before Caps games. This night was a mess. Seemed like chaos from the time we checked in with our reservation to leaving. Not enough staff. The ones there were all over. One quit and walked out. Ugh. It won’t stop me from returning but disappointed

Had a reservation. They made us wait in a long line with people that didn’t have one. After finally being seated, we waited for 10 minutes and no one would serve us. So we got up and left.
