    This was our first time at Milk & Honey. We arrived before one of our party and were seated right away. Our food was decent. I enjoyed my fish sandwich. My husband thought his meal - the Traditional Breakfast - was just okay. It’s super expensive for what it is. The service was terrible. Even before our friend showed up and before we even had water, the server tried to take orders. It was weird. Once we were all there, the server came back. The server took our orders reasonably quickly, and he managed a refill in coffee (but not water), but he didn’t check on us otherwise. Getting the check took forever. The food was slow to arrive, and one of the orders wasn’t accurate. Perhaps most seriously, the heat wasn’t working in the restaurant, making the space really cold. With lots of great choices for food in DC, we won’t be back.

    Only bad thing was that the heat wasn't on. There was a guy there fixing it, and the manager gave my table a heater because of my elderly parents. It was a wonderful fix. The server was absolutely wonderful, and she made my birthday memorable!!

    It was freezing. Even our waiter commented he needed a jacket. Our food came out hot and was cold minutes later. We were freezing. Get a heater in there.

    I’ve visited this location several times before and usually enjoyed it, but my recent visit was disappointing. Arriving two hours before closing, I found the staff friendly but overly focused on closing tasks, like sweeping and cleaning, even as patrons were eating. Our waiter seemed distracted and forgot specific requests. Unfortunately, the food was only so-so this time, not as flavorful as previous visits. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting close to closing time.
