It’s more a bar than restaurant- the food was right- both the burger and salmon were a bit oily. The vibe (older firehouse in DC) and the service are good though.

Great place for brunch. Salmon tartine was excellent and the cocktail I had was great. Ask to try their house hot sauces if you want more spice. The bartender was amazing!

I hosted my son and daughter in law’s dress rehearsal dinner in the Dalmatian room. The food was delicious. Everything was perfect! Lauren was so easy to work with and made everything amazing!

Hidden gem with great food and service. Fun bartenders and friendly clientele. I've come with a group for fun and I've came alone and made friends at the bar.

If you are looking for a place to host a party (business/academic/professional/personal) Lauren can help you realize a very very nice event. We hosted a conference reception party at Present Co for 40 people and everything was perfect. I don't live in DC but Lauren communicated with me regularly and made sure all our needs were met. The food was amazing, the bar was great and the room was spacious and warm! We were able to use their TV to share some slides. I would strongly recommend Present Co. for your next event!

We hosted a reception here for ~35 people in the private upstairs dalmatian room. We had our own bar and bartender, excellent food, restroom, separate entrance. Everything was perfect, reasonably priced, and required very little effort on our part thanks to the helpful staff (Lauren) coordinating with us before the party.

Went for work happy hour. The cocktails are good and moderately priced for being in DC. I think what stood out most was the attentive and capable staff, the bartenders were great, and Devon can handle multiple orders with ease, and makes a great cocktail.

Awesome neighborhood spot. Staff was so welcoming. Burnt ends were delicious. Very cute vibes on the patio!

I held a work reception at Present Company. The food and service were great. Lauren was easy to work with and provided helpful suggestions on food and drink selections. We hope to be back next year!

The food choices are very good, they don't have the typical American restaurant dishes you see across the cities. You can get something unusual including good choices for vegetarians.
I got a mushroom orecchiette. I know from experience that this past is not easy to cook and requires lots of staring so I was not surprised to find one piece undercooked.
Overall the fish had a nice pepper spice kick to it but maybe a bit too salty.
I would definitely come back to try other options.
They have surisingly great house rose ! I usually stay away from rose which are too sweet for me but this one was dry and bright !
