   Tonight was wet and windy in DC. We left our last museum at 5:30pm. Our dinner reservation was not until 7pm. We walked to the restaurant thinking at a min we could dry out and have a pre dinner drink at the bar. When we arrived we explained that we were an hour early for our reservation but without a fuss we were seated immediately. The service was faultless. Our waiter was a bartender doing double duty. He was knowledgeable about the drinks (duhh) and the food and able to answer all of our questions - and my husband asks lots of questions. He oversaw service and was attentive without being bothersome. Our food was delicious. We ordered a variety of foods and were happy with everything we ate. Highly recommended this spot for a great meal with a loved one, good friend or family.

   My husband and I enjoyed the food and ambience. Our waitress was attentive and professional! We weren’t thrilled with the ADDITIONAL charges added to our bill. There was an additional 4% charge and an additional 16% charge which are explained on the bill. These charges are before you add 20% gratuity.

   The food was delicious! The brunch selection was plentiful and too much to enjoy in one visit. So I will definitely be coming back. The ambiance was chic, and the view of the Potomac makes for a wonderful backdrop. The servers were attentive, pleasant, and professional. I rate the experience a 10/10 and look forward to dining here again!

   Excellent! I will say however, be aware of the cuisine. It is Mediterranean style so don’t expect the typical menu. The menu offered everything we could want, from seafood to prime steaks and fresh fruit. The staff was on par with refilling mimosas. The ambience is perfect!

   The brunch and bottomless was great! The service and our waitress was awesome! I love the way the tables are setup. Me and my wife was able to mingle with a couple sitting next to us just socializing, making conversation about the ambience and brunch.

   (Management Dropped the ball) Came here on Valentine’s Day, and the restaurant completely botched reservations, creating chaos. Despite our 10 PM reservation, we weren’t seated until 11 PM—after hassling the overwhelmed receptionist at least 3 times. And the main course? It didn’t arrive until 12:45 AM. A ‘five-course dining experience’? Laughable. The appetizers were pathetic—basic hummus, a poorly cut bargain-bin tomato salad, and oysters without proper dressing. The main course? A forgettable rosemary steak, I could make just as well at home. The only saving grace was our kind waiter, whom we tipped generously. But this place? An absolute RIP-OFF.

   Don’t go for Valentine’s Day or any day. They don’t have their stuff together and can’t handle big events. They over sold the restaurant and it was sure chaos. My reservation was at 9:45pm and we didn’t get seated until 11:40pm and that’s because I kept asking after the HOUR wait time she promised (with a reservation)! If I didn’t she would have forgotten us and she even admitted it. We never got a waiter but the chef was taking our orders. It was clear he wasn’t used to customer facing positions because he didn’t pay us attention at all. I had to flag him down to order from the pre-fixed menu. He was busy trying to upsell us on wine, I had to remind him that he never took our order. We were so hungry and we didn’t even get bread at this point. Each thing took 20 mins to come out. We didn’t end up finally leaving until 1:40 and that’s was shortly after our main course came. It was semi cold and bland. We barely touched our food or wine. The food was nothing to rave about and I was seriously disappointed. I went there for brunch which I enjoyed. So I assumed that this one would be great since I had a great experience before but this was totally the opposite. I will never be returning to this place……ever! It ruined the Valentine’s Day I had planned for my partner who’s going through a tremendous loss. So this was supposed to be special yet we got so consumed with all of the restaurants bad planning and preparation. Even in the chaos n everyone having issues they were unapologetic, and not attentive. May I add that the tables were so close together I could reach other to the other table with out even bending. I could keep going but I recommend anywhere else but this place. For the money $800 dollars they charged this should be waaaaay better.

   We had a Reservation for which we were there on time, the place was overbooked, it took us almost 30 min in line for check-in followed by another hour and half of wait time before getting seated. The food was okay and below average, appetizers were late, not to mention that our main course meal came out warm rather than hot and fresh. Not worth the time or the money. Wouldn’t recommend this place after such a bad experience.
