The food was amazing, and we’re definitely going back! Unfortunately, our table was near the entrance, so every time the door opened, we felt the cold air from outside. The ambiance was nice and beautiful, but it was quite loud, so we had to raise our voices to maintain the conversation (something I don’t usually enjoy). Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely return at a different time.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday and the food and service was excellent. A bit noisy and the DoorDash drivers were rather rude and inconsiderate of the waiting guests in the lobby (took up the chairs and smelled horrid). Excellent food and service at a good price, especially for DC.

Oh my gosh, this was such a fabulous restaurant! It was so pretty inside. They still had decorations up for Christmas and it was spectacular. As I walked in the door, I saw a lady who was hand making ravioli. I had to have it! I got the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. Leftovers for lunch today. It was a nice touch having an offer of amaretto or Sambuca at the end of our meal complementary. It was a nice place to celebrate my husband‘s birthday. I highly recommend it.
