    Corey, our server, was attentive and provided excellent service. The ambience on the water and the high end decor gives this venue a luxurious feel.

    Service was horrible from beginning to end. They offer all you can eat crab legs on Fridays and they were not prepared. It was horrible.

    Bottomless crabs on fridays is awesome. The quality is great, the flow is slow. 2 hours and 6 legs for 2 people, not even a full cluster, questions the value. At the 2 hour mark we were asked to wrap up for the next set of reservations, completely understandable if service had a steady flow. Main menu: steak and fries were excellent. This came out immediately and was cooked perfectly.

    The fried chicken was spectacular. The oysters were fresh and the lobster Diavlo pasta was delicious. Jazmin was very knowledgeable and super friendly. The ambiance in the bar area is beautifully modern and romantic. I cannot wait until it gets warmer so that we can enjoy the waterfront dining experience.

    Close to DC United, this restaurant has an outside view to the Potomac River. The ambiance was beautiful and though there wasn't a lot on the menu everything we had was tasty from the wings, to the catfish, to the seafood pasta. The speciality drinks were tasty. There are specials each day which I will come back to check out the next time I visit.

    My experience here was absolutely wonderful. It was Mardi Gras themed and that’s exactly what they gave from the Mardi Gras band to the beads that they were giving out to everybody to the Mardi Gras dancers and people dressed up and costume taking pictures with the guest. It was just absolutely beautiful.  the food was absolutely wonderful. They had seafood. They had a waffle table. They had a dessert table. They had side such as collard greens and macaroni and cheese and pasta salad eggs grits everything you can name they had it and everything taste great. The waiter was absolutely cool and very helpful. I can tell he was waiting alot of tables but he did his thing. I will be back!

    I usually don't write reviews, but I had to go all out for this place. It was the best service I've ever had in my entire life. So many people checked up on us to make sure we were doing fine. The management with amazing. Our server was amazing. The food was amazing. I am 100% telling all of my friends about this place. I wish I could go back today, it was that fantastic.

    I arranged a group brunch for 12 to celebrate my sister’s 46th birthday on a Sunday afternoon. We had a WONDERFUL experience! The food was really good, especially the waffle—get the waffle! Many also raved over the fried chicken. The best part though was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, kind, helpful, attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this location for a beautiful brunch experience!
