Both the sign-in crew at the entryway podium as well as the wait staff in the dining room were exceptionally helpful and accommodating to me when I came very early for my reservation. And, then, once my guest arrived, the wait staff continued to go above and beyond. Many menu options tempted us and we were pleased with our choices -- good looking and delicious!

Food was really delicious as always. And the owner/ host was very gracious. It was Saturday evening- which was very busy. The server tried his best- but he definitely could have used another staff member to lighten his load. I think it’s very difficult to get enough staff in DC at restaurants now. We enjoyed our meal and plan to return. Highly recommend.
