    My 2 out of town sisters brought me & my son here for a birthday dinner. Everything was perfect from your kindness for allowing a last minute addition to our party to surprising me with a glass of champagne for my birthday. By evening’s end, one sister declared it was the only NoVa restaurant she wanted to go to in the future. All the food was exceptional & the service was terrific. Can’t wait to go back.

    They have had since 1856 to perfect the art of service. They have not wasted a bit of that time. We had a server and he was fantastic. With that, the entire brigade worked as a fantastic machine and supported the goal of quick and perfect service for the guest. I have never had apps arrive so quickly at a restaurant before. I even threw another order in while ordering our main course and it was on the table 2 minutes later. The quality of the food is top notch as well. The roast beef sandwich had a bit of bite on it that was unexpected but definitely not unappreciated. As I was dinning with my 13 year old son tonight, I also appreciated the non alcoholic options on the drink menu. It was great to have a delicious option that wasn't a soda. Overall, this is a MUST for any visit to DC.
