Best Gastro Pubs in Silver Spring

We’ve tried to get in this place every time we come to Alexandria but couldn’t get reservations. This time I booked it well in advance and it was worth it! The Brussels, short ribs and apple cider were fantastic! Will definitely put it on the list for our next visit!

Had a great time with family. The ordering process at the table worked very well and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Brussels Sprouts to share!

If you’re looking for a restaurant experience that blends fantastic flavors with a cozy, rustic vibe, this spot absolutely delivers! From the moment you step inside, the warm, earthy decor sets the scene for a meal that feels both comforting and exciting. The atmosphere is all about laid-back charm, with wood accents and soft lighting that make it easy to settle in and enjoy every moment. Now, let’s talk food—because it’s the true star here! Every dish is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Each bite feels crafted with care, and you can tell the chefs take pride in their work. Whether it’s a hearty entrée or a delicate appetizer, the balance of flavors is spot on, making for a truly memorable dining experience. One tiny hitch was the spicy mezcal cocktail I ordered. It looked beautiful and started with a nice, smoky kick, but the spice level was a bit intense! If you’re into a big punch of heat, it might be right up your alley. For me, though, it was just a little too fiery, but that’s easy to overlook when everything else was stellar. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone who loves great food and a rustic, inviting setting. I’m already planning my next visit—and maybe trying a different drink this time!

I was taken aback with all the security in front of the restaurant. Made me question the environment inside of the restaurant. Then they patted my date down! For dinner?! It was 7:30 pm, not 2am in front of a nightclub. I was so confused. If we didn't have to leave a deposit when making the reservation, we would have left. However, once inside, the restaurant was pretty empty and quite lovely. The service was prompt and professional. My drink (Sexxy red) was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was fresh, and so tasty. Our entrée did not disappoint. We were very happy with the service and food and so glad we did not allow the initial impression turn us away from such a wonderful experience and amazing food.

Good food-prompt service-nice setting-check out the artwork!
