The District GastroBar has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant's entrance, a well ­curated modern speak easy with a nostalgic vintage ambiance and an eclectic array of "one ­off" pieces of Prohibition and 1940 era inspired artwork. Walk past the restaurants front door, guests encounter a antique bronze tin ceiling wrapped around historic 1900 brick, custom vintage lighting, but only the adventurous will discover all that The District GastroBar has to offer. With a distinct dining room, grandiose bar layout, an open air patio and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon inspired feel and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Lamond Cooper and menu creator Andre Walton have adapted to the new shared plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with The District GastroBar menu, they have created waves on the food scene better known as GASTRONOMY!

    They only had 1 bartender and 1 server for the whole restaurant and whoever was in the kitchen during happy hour. They need to repaint the walls And maybe work on having at least a printed happy hour menu. Food was not bad just need a little help.

    I booked a reservation before attending a Solar Bears game at the Kia center. We arrived early enough that there was still street parking available which was great. There was only 1 server and he did a fantastic job, but man he needed a 2nd person. he was the host, food/beverage runner, and server for the entire restaurant which was around 60% full for a 5:30 reservation. He still managed to do a great job being understaffed. The food was very good. I got a buffalo chicken sandwich and my dad got the Philly sliders. The Sliders don't come with a side so I suggest ordering a side to go with them or order them as shareable for the table. I recommend this as a spot before any event at the Kia center due to its proximity and prices. But make sure you have your parking sorted out before you leave as this is a very busy part of town when there are events going on at the Soccer stadium or the Kia center. My only complaint is that it gets very loud in the restaurant. like i said earlier it was about 60% full and the noise levels were very high for the number of people inside this smaller restaurant. Either way, I will be back in the future for a meal and drink before another Solar Bears game.

    OpenTable noted strict time adherence with a 15 minute grace period. Tried calling the listed number (same number on OpenTable and website) to let them know we would be close to our 15 minute limit and got a message that the user was not accepting phone calls. Tried multiple times. Arrived with a couple of minutes to spare and could not find parking anywhere near the restaurant as it was all charging a minimum of $20 (closer was $35) due to an event at the Kia Center. Eventually gave up and did not go (would have called, but…). Also, no way to cancel on the app once past reservation time. Had a VERY nice meal at another restaurant a couple of blocks away. Information about the parking situation needs to be included on OpenTable. Restaurant needs to answer the phone.

    I was truly disappointed that this brunch did not come close to what their website depicted. There was only ONE server and it was his first solo brunch which was fine since there were never more than 3 tables. However, the food was mid and out of 8 orders, only 1 was correct. This was not the birthday brunch I envisioned.

    Very cute place with friendly vibe. The food and service were excellent! The gumbo and lobster bisque were superb! Amanda was our server, perfect! We would definitely recommend. Just down the street from the Kia Center. Great pre show find.
