This restaurant is perfect for a relaxing environment after a day of sightseeing. It is close to the Foggy Bottom Metro. The ambiance is cozy, the wine is great and the food is fabulous!

Enjoyed dinner last night. My husband and I had two different salads, beetroot and leaves salad with cheese, followed by Halibut and Boef Bourguignon. All four dishes were very flavourful and the portion sizes were good. The service was attentive without being pushy. The only downside was the fact that the proposed tip options are calculated on the price after tax, not before tax. Post‑tax calculation quietly increases the dollar amount without changing the displayed percentage, and I don't like that. I always tip on the pre-tax amount. Just a watch out point for those who want to tip pre-tax.

    We had an excellent experience for our party of 7 that was there for a celebration dinner on a weeknight. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! The cornbread with maple butter appetizer and Braised Beef Risotto where both really good. The cocktails and made in-house desserts were enjoyed by all.
