The food was very traditional and delicious with ample portions. I liked the idea of making the pumpkin pie optional in a traditional Thanksgiving menu. Our waitress Maria remembered us from last Christmas on K Street. I like the decor of the Crystal City location.

I had thr chicken, the prices are higher then the last time we went, a few years ago. The chicken was fine, but I should have gotten the trout. Creme Brûlée was not freshly torched, right out of the refrigerator.......ok not great, better when warmed up a little.

Food was good but there were a lot of seafood options which some may love but some of us don’t eat so it was hard to find something to eat. The wine was very good.

About what I expected. Excellent clam chowder - my test of a seafood restaurant. I would have liked to have seen a wider choice of fish on the menu, but the cod I had was very good.
