Food showed up before drinks, and without silverware/napkins. Food was ok for the price, but was what I expected given location next door to arena. Can you afford to spare some ketchup? Had to ask twice. By the time an insufficient amount showed up, the french fries were cold. Needless to say, with so many other choices around, I will go somewhere else next time. I guess I should think twice about a restaurant close to the arena when I can get a last minute reservation.

It was busy but seemed understaffed. No server came over for almost 20 minutes. Multiple tables seated after us got served and food before us. Food and drinks were good. Needs a little more urgency and organization.

Steak Hoagie was very spicy. My sister couldn’t eat it. Appetizers came out after the meals. Fish tacos were ok. My husband said the burger was very good. Didn’t see any crab in the crab dip. But people were nice and you can’t get any closer to the arena.

Server had very bad attitude and was exceptionally rude, just because it was busy before a Caps game - even though. Had a pre booked table.

Server forgot our drinks; never got them. Didn’t get food or drinks until 45 minutes after we sat down. She was interactive with other tables, but made us more angry seeing them get three rounds of drinks before we got anything. Food was good. Then brought the bill with the drinks still on it.
