The burger and fries were good and the atmosphere was great… but the coffee was very dark and way too hot. It didn’t make a good cappuccino.

I love to come here with my dog for a coffee and chill or work remotely with my dog in the lobby. The staff are wonderful and so sweet!

When you pay over $20 for a burger, you don’t expect cold fries. I like this place but the kitchen can do better.

As I post this review I am eating the most incredible beets. The parfait had fantastic berries. Service friendly, space beautiful. Loved this.

Went for the valentines menu again this year as it was really incredible last year. First course was awesome (esp. Burrata and pears), second/main was fairly unimpressive and gnocchi were very oily and salty, dessert was solidly good. There was a live DJ which wasn't expected that was very loud and made it difficult to talk to my partner even on the opposite side of the room. Value wasn't great as I felt that the main meal could have been from anywhere and wasnt really worth the cost. Probably won't be returning for dinner as I heard they got a new chef recently
Outstanding
Beautiful space in the Line hotel, a century old building in neo classical style that was once a church. Souring ceilings, an amazing light fixture made from the pipe organ, other architectural elements from the church throughout. Bar area is gorgeous and tables settings are welcoming. It is very loud because of the space acoustics. The food was good but not super flavorful except for lots of red pepper which we found overused. The staff was exceptionally friendly and service overall was excellent. The meal was very expensive and not a good value. And it was $35 to valet park. Definitely park somewhere else. We might be back for a drink sometime because the ambience is cool but probably not a meal.

This place used to be one of my favorites in DC, but ever since the new chef took over, there’s been no options for me, a vegetarian. They don’t even offer substitutes for some of their items. The menu hasn’t changed in a year. Overall, they’ve kind of ran the place into the ground.

This review is for the coffee shop. Yesterday morning, I stopped by with my husband to grab some coffee and pastries. The coffee was absolute garbage; my latte was scorching hot to the touch and tasted burnt, while my husband's americano tasted like espresso grinds were simply dumped into a vat of hot water. I recommend the baristas get retrained on proper espresso extraction and milk temperature. Plus the cardamom buns were dry and tasteless, and for a whopping $32 for everything, this was not it.Although the lobby does have plenty of seating, lighting is dim, music is way too loud, and I could barely concentrate on anything there. Not sure why everyone seems to like this place, but I'm definitely not coming back here. If you see an Instagram reel hyping this place up (which is how I discovered it), it's lying to you.

Stopped in with a buddy to catch up. We both had DC Brau Porters, and a great conversation with the very friendly and knowledgeable Andrew. Great source for DC breweries, as well as No Goodbyes and The Line. We'll definitely be back.

On a mission to find the best spots for working remote in DC. This location is definitely in the top 5. If you have a membership with SoHo it gives the same vibes for their lounge area. The location sits in The Line Hotel and they are affiliated with SoHo House without the membership. They even shared the same hand soap and lotions. Large working area with tasty cofee bites and pastries. There's free WiFi and the area is quiet like a library (lol). There is a bar area serving alcohol and small menu items around lunch time and closes at 10pm. Highly consider if you need to getaway from home while working or need to plan a business meeting. Pros- large area and plenty of room- cozy sitting areas - A lot of tables- Quiet - tasty coffee and pastries - free WiFi - open until 10pmCons- the bathroom is 1 large area for men and women. There isn't a separate bathroom. Can get smelly.

I ate here 3 other times with large groups and this occasion, with a 6 top, was by far the worst. The service was inattentive and aloof. The waitress only came to table to ask what we wanted to order. After the food arrived, she did not ask how anything was, ie appetizers or the Steak being overcooked to well done. She only appeared again to ask about dessert. She seemed only interested in taking orders, running up the tab, and not being friendly. She also did not mention the 20% tip included in the charge until we asked, after she already ran the credit cards from her handheld device. Moreover, she did not show us the itemized totals, which also did not appear in the email receipt. Lastly, The bartender was dancing behind the bar, having a good time, while we waited a very long time for drinks. Overall a poor experience. I will likely not return and do not recommend.

Spot on fantastic cocktails and a small but delicious food menu. Great service from very knowledgeable bartenders. Gorgeous space.....used to be a Christian Science Church. This is a much better use of the space.

Thank you Myesha and DJ. You made our trip to the city so special. We usually never have hotel food, especially for breakfast, but I'm so glad we decided to stop in. 5 star service at a 5 star hotel.
