“super friendly and accommodating. we really enjoyed our visit and the food.“

“Wine market, bar, small plates joint in a good location. Stopped in for a flight and light bite on a Saturday night. The downstairs bar/market was packed, lots of energy, and buzzing. We were upstairs because we had a reservation. Decidedly quieter up there only a couple of other folks dining, the back room had a large party (15) cozy with lighting in the right place. We started with a flight and narrowed in on Pomerol by the glass. The Somm was friendly, knowledgeable, and made a good suggestion for our final glass, a Cahors. A licorice-bomb that we really liked. On the food side, we were very basic, fries with homemade ketchup; French onion soup, with cheddar and a nice bread on the side; and roasted/fried cauliflower with yogurt, pine nuts, and pickled raisins, which was a little overdone. We didn't venture much further on the food menu, but we were really here for the wine anyway. On our way out, we perused the markets but weren't able to find that Cahors in a bottle server/somm. sensing our dilemma, procured a bottle for us from the back. Nice experience, I'd explore more by the glass options here and they have some interesting finds in the wine market.“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“Love it, a great spot with character, good burgers and chicken sandwiches, and a fantastic beer list.
Bonus points for playing interesting movies and music that doesn’t rely on an algorithm!

Kid-friendliness: They have kids sliders and chicken tenders, just not seen on the main menu I think. They’re always great to our kids. And kids generally love rock music, which is what goes on here. Go before 8-ish, I think bands play after 9 or so.“

“Great location we had a great time“

“So good. Just what we were looking for“

“Love me Other Half wherever I can find it!“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“We didn’t try the food here but the coffee was wonderful! The people who served us were friendly and helpful. The inside (where we sat until outside chairs became available) was clean and cool temperature wise. The outside was shaded, comfortable and clean.“

“Bottomless Brunch $33. All of their food is very very fresh tasting and delicious.“

“Yes come on in & enjoy the excellent serve“

“Food is delicious. Best crust in the DMV. Great salads. Service is reliably wonderful. My husband and I are regulars. My husband says the beer is good. My whine is about the wine, which in all categories is mediocre, expensive for what it is, and almost never changes, no matter how many nice requests we've made to the staff. PLEASE up your wine game!“

“Great food, great beer and great service. Trifecta!“

“I had a lovely experience at Emissary Café. I tried the Morning Glow smoothie and it was absolutely fantastic—fresh, local, and honest, like it was made with care and great ingredients. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel like a regular, even though it was my first time. I’ll definitely be back to try all the smoothies. This place has a good vibe that stays with you!“
