We always enjoy lunching at the bar. Great food with lots of variety and healthy choices. Especially enjoy the pork chops, shrimp tacos, and tuna entree. Beer selection is unsurpassed. Bartender Sam works hard and is warm and engaging. Vibrant environment and great venue for watching sports.

This restaurant just happened to be right by where I was attending a work meeting in DC so it was very convenient - and turned out to be a wonderful meal! The bread and pasta were fresh and the sauces were were perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive. I come to the area a couple times per year and will definitely be back!

Great experience, great food, great service. It would be better if they open the rooftop, but it was a nice experience though.

Overall, terrific experience! We had a reservation and were sat quickly despite a busy dining time and line out the door. Server approached quickly and was polite, friendly and accommodating. She took our order and served us our drinks right away. Shortly afterwards, our salad arrived. We mentioned we were sharing and they proactively split it into 2 bowls which was very much appreciated. The pizza followed not long after. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Since the experience was moving quickly and we had some time before the concert, we ordered the sticky toffee waffle. Definitely order one and thank me later. It was second best to GR sticky toffee pudding.

The food and service were both fantastic. I don’t think I’d recommend a party of eight here though, we were crammed into a booth for six and it wasn’t particularly comfortable.
