    We changed reservations so upon arrival the new reservation did not show up~and it was crowded. The hostess checked with the manager and went ahead and seated us which was great. We had driven a long ways to eat at this restaurant. The food was fantastic. The server was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great service by Josue Romero.

    Returned and it’s even better ! They have refined their seafood tasting menu to a high level. We are talking Michelin Stars level of excellence here. Service is impeccable and the room and vibe are great. Worth a walk over if in Georgetown, a drive if in Dc or close by and a plane ride from anywhere now . It’s exceptional.

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
