Felt really good to support a black-woman owned restaurant in DC. The service was impeccable down to helping us with parking and giving us a heads-up upon arrival. The food was delicious. We started with the deviled eggs topped with shrimp and the corn muffin. Both were delicious. For entrees, we tried the fried whole snapper with fried cabbage and the Chilean sea bass stuffed with crab with sautéed spinach. The sea bass could've had a little less sauce and the spinach was gritty, but overall it didn't take away from the dish. It was still good. We ordered a Caesar salad to go for my son. He didn't like the taste of the dressing or the capers in the salad, but he ate it nonetheless. The restaurant had low lighting and a very quaint atmosphere. It was nice especially when adding in the playlist and the card games on each table. The music playlist was superb. I drank a hibiscus pineapple juice. The presentation was pretty. The drink was ok. Everything would've been perfect if it wasn't so cold. The warmest part of the restaurant was the restroom. The dining area was very chilly. I blame it on the weather perhaps (it was the night before an expected snow storm and the temperatures dropped drastically). We had to dine with our coats on. Overall, I'd return with a group of friends when it's a little warmer and we can try the rooftop.

This little gem is hiding in plain sight on Rhode Island Avenue. I have had the brunch and dinner and the food is delicious, in particular their shrimp and grits and red snapper. I enjoy eating on the rooftop, weather permitting. It's Nina's place and you won't be disappointed when you stop by.
The aesthetics felt all over the place. They were very hodgepodge and lacking a cohesive vibe. The space itself is quite small and extremely loud, which made it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. There are only about 8 bar stools, and the bartop sits unusually high at chest level, which isn't very comfortable for dining. There are 4 booths and 3 small tables. I didn't get a chance to see the rooftop, but it seemed to be hosting a large party of at least 20 people, which might be a better option if you're visiting with a group. One thing I did like was the games at every table and at the bar which added a fun touch and would make for a good hangout spot with friends. As for the food: service was slow, and when the dishes finally arrived, they were lukewarm. I came specifically for the whole fried snapper, which I ordered came with grits. The grits were surprisingly delicious creamy, flavorful, and honestly the highlight of the meal. The snapper, however, was dry and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing given that's what I went for. Overall, the food was nothing to write home about, mostly because it wasn't hot, and the noise level made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal. It might be a fun stop for drinks and games, but not somewhere I'd go back for dinner. They also just need a bigger space!
