    Best dining experience I’ve had in DC. The atmosphere is perfect, the music is great but not loud enough to drown out conversation, you can still speak at a normal level and hear the person across from you. The staff were so casually polite and non-intrusive. The food was incredible and perfect. Flavor and texture were enjoyable in equal measure, and the flavors were surprising in the best way. 10/10, thank you for a great night.

    Staple in my rotation. Always great options, nice happy hour deals, staff are excellent, vibes are good! If you’re familiar with Ted’s this is not like the original. I call this Ted’s 2.0 because Ted grew up and he’s fancy now (but not too fancy).
