    The view was absolutely phenomenal. The host had no issue moving us to a table with a view vs where they initially had us seated. Cannot overstate what an amazing view it was of the Potomac and looking over into Alexandria and Arlington. The drinks were delicious but overpriced even for DC. The food for dinner was very tasty and more reasonably priced than the cocktails, however I highly recommend against dessert. The dorayaki was adequate but the cheesecake was a total disappointment. Not just not good, but actually bad. The service was lovely and accommodating. The vibes of the restaurant and staff were excellent.

    I had a fantastic experience at brunch! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious—especially the chicken and waffles, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing and enjoyable brunch. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back soon!
