5 stars all around. Food was fantastic - 100% try the Brussels sprouts and chicken sliders - Drinks were good and the Happy Hour specials were solid. The vibe and decor is unlike anything in DC, genuinely. And most importantly, the music. Solid playlist but also the volume of the music was just right. You can hear it and enjoy it but it’s not so loud that you can’t hear your date talking (why is this a recurring issue with DC bars?). Highly recommend for a post-work chill or a date. Will be back!

arrived for a 10am reservation and did not get service from our waiter Jude, for 40min; had to ask another server about where our table staff was; thankfully Brandy brought us our drinks and continued to provide back up service. I enjoyed the food and the small plate offerings, I just wished our service was more consistent.

Had a great brunch on New Years Day thanks to Richie. The food was great and the buffet well stocked. We enjoyed everything from fried chicken to doughnuts and delicious cocktails. For a Sunday brunch, I was surprised at how NOT noisy it was. And also, I’m not sure if was saying goodbye to 2022 or what, but as I made my second trip up to the buffet, the people around the restaurant looked happy and seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves- I’d like to think it was the ambiance, helpful staff that pointed me to a delicious dessert I hadn’t tried, and all the rest of the great food.

I’m not sure why a reservation was required, however, I have no complaints about the service not the food. The amount of food was definitely a 10 out of 10. My best friends eggs weren’t cooked how she asked, but they were more than happy to fix them for her.
