Beautiful restaurant with a view of the city and a close-up view of the Washington Monument. Even though the bar and restaurant were busy, it was easy to carry on a conversation at the table. The food quality was excellent, and the portions were moderate. The short ribs were tender, and the dish was like a comfortable Sunday dinner just like our waitress described. The Blue Catfish was also excellent. Hannah, our waitress was attentive and easily answered any questions we asked. So overall a great atmosphere, delicious food and a view that can't be beat!

Service was the best- Andrea was a very attentive personable polished waitress. Food was excellent- every dish. Ambiance was good- great selection toon of music at a reasonable volume. The views over top of Mt. Vernon were also exceptional. When the opportunity presents itself again this will be our go-to place!

It was lovely atmosphere & great to see around the city. Something needs to be done for winter because if you are in a booth by the windows, you can feel the cold coming in through the window. Everyone that was in a booth like us was sitting as far to the edge away from the window as possible.

Great ambience and view of the Washington Monument. Nice open space but not noisy. Very chill vibes. Delicious food especially the Spanish shrimp, tuna, burrata and beets, and the gumbo. Will definitely visit again.
