Smoke and Mirrors - DC offers a stunning rooftop view of the Capitol, creating a "great atmosphere" for dining and drinks. Known for "delicious food" like the mumbo wings and truffle fries, this spot is perfect for a date night or happy hour.

    My honest opinion the drinks were good but the food was subpar. Maybe I didn’t order the right thing…… but I did select a few things and it simply tasted like concession stand food at a high school sporting event.
