   Watch out for hidden fees when placing your order.

   It was freezing in the basement where we sat the. They sat 5 of us at one small table then they sat our waiter a large party than us which was impossible for her she literally had no time to serve us we waited 40 mins for her to grab our food order then was told our tower was 140 then when asked about tequila instead said the price be around the same and came out to 180 which is fine but not what was told to us just overall could’ve been better for the first time

   I have heard mixed reviews but my experience was excellent. Food was delicious, hot, and presented nicely. My bartender was friendly and attentive. I sat at the bar so I was a bit chilly because of the door but I have no complaints. I can say I will be back.

   Food atmosphere and drinks are amazing. Waited almost half an hour to be seated with reservation and another almost half an hour to get table service and that was only after getting up from our seats to look for a manager. They comped a few things off of our bill for the inconvenience

   We visited the restaurant for Sunday Brunch. The food exceeded our expectations. It was great. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken and Butter Pecan Waffles and my husband had the Shrimp and Grits (and my waffles). The service was really good especially given the crowd . We actually ordered dinner to go so we could try some other items.

   Great food, ambiance and service, however the music is too loud, especially once you couple that when the restaurant gets crowded with lots of people and everyone is talking. Food is way overpriced. Guess the high rent for that space and location is being passed on to the customers.

   I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience fell short in several key areas. For the cost, the overall experience felt very overrated. We had a 7:15 PM reservation but weren’t seated until 8:20 PM, leaving us standing by the door where cold air kept coming in. Not a great start. When we finally got seated, we were handed a barcode for the menu. I expect high-end restaurants to provide written menus—it’s a small touch that makes a big difference. The meal itself was disappointing. We started with cold fried pickles, which we had to reorder, and they didn’t arrive until the middle of our main courses. My husband ordered the pasta, but his meal arrived missing the fried snow crab legs. Worse, they didn’t even tell us until his dish was brought out 20 minutes after I had already started eating. But the most frustrating part of the experience was at the end. Instead of handing us a receipt like any restaurant should, they scanned the barcode at the table and read the total out loud. This felt unprofessional and tacky—it’s not how patrons should be treated at any level of dining. Overall, it was an overpriced, underwhelming experience, and I don’t plan on going back.

   Been here five times now and I think the quality is definitely going down unfortunately. I made a reservation for 645 and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated as if I was a walk in. The food quality in my opinion has gone down. I hope they can bring it back up because this was one of my favorite places in DC and now I’m not sure if I’ll be back.
