The food and beverages here are phenomenal and well priced, especially for DC. The ambiance is great. They offer coat check + valet parking (that’s the same price as nearby garages too so very convenient). Would definitely recommend!

It was a meal of two parts. The first half was not good. The oysters were not to our liking. They were drowned in shallots and spice and some vinegary dressing. You could not tell that the oysters were even there. We didn't finish them. The salad we ordered was bland, but had the potential to be delicious if only the dressing had followed through. The absolutely delicious part of the meal came second! The short rib Bolognese is not to be missed! It was so good, we wish we had only ordered it. So good. If you decide to dine here, order it. That, you won't regret.
