Decent food but some of the worst cocktails I've ever had in my life. Stick to beer and wine.

I'm in a group for a mystery dinner. Last week we had a great meal everybody seemed happy with their entrees. I had the salad with the hanger steak which was cooked to perfection. Notice that they had Detroit pizzas so going back tonight.

Great spot for a quick bite with affordable prices! I tried the crab cakes and Brussel sprouts, which are listed as appetizers. The portions were great! Each dish was flavorful. The servers were friendly and attentive. I dined outdoors and I wouldn’t recommend this! The mosquitoes are attracted to this patio. They do have bug spray, which I learned about after sitting outside for about 15 minutes.

I didn’t even mean to dine here but had to use their bathroom and the rude front desk attendant gal said I had to be a customer and had me sit and squirm until she took my order so I could go, go—whatever…the food actually was on pointe and the atmosphere was hip with top 99 playing overhead, not too shabby.

Parking: Pretty busy area but you might find a close spot!

My favorite laid-back Navy Yard bar. Check out the Detroit style pizza from their neighbor Sidedoor (comparable to Buddy's Detroit) or enjoy their reasonably priced HH. Sushi here is really good and they also have a great wine selection. Overall, this place is worth forgoing the waterfront or rooftop views some of the other restaurants in the area provide.

We ordered the crab cakes Benedict, chorizo sandwich, & passionfruit soufflé with the bottomless beverages. Food was pretty tasty, but service and drinks were substandard. The waitress and bar tender were focused on taking pictures of the drinks rather than service. The 2 we ordered mimosas were inconsistent (very different glasses in regard to size & ratios-both very OJ heavy). Service overall was very slow between food and drinks. Also, the shelves behind the hostess station were extremely dusty.

Service was amazing. Elvis went above and beyond and made an awesome experience for me and my girl after a very long weekend. Hard to find people that care as much as this guy/place did.
