We were so excited to visit this restaurant during my Birthday weekend in DC, what a huge disappointment. This place would make a better bar/nightclub than a restaurant. The service was the absolute worst! 7p.m. reservations, we were seated at 7:40, waited until after 8 p.m. to get water after asking multiple staff members. We ultimately ordered salads and left to go elsewhere.

Took 30 minutes for anyone to come to table to give water. In order to place our order we had to go find staff and ask to be served. Had no napkins or silverware come with meal. Decor was wonderful and food tasted good. But service was terrible.

Disappointed! I have been here a couple of times but this time was different. I went for brunch but service was bad, I order the hangover board which I have had before and it looks like they made it smaller than before for the same price. Food took like 40 min to get to our table. Once it arrived we had no utensils, I had to go look for someone to bring utensils to our table that took a while. We had unlimited mimosas and we was only served 2 times because our waiter would not check up on us to make sure we had drinks. I was very disappointed in the service and the amount of food that was offered. I don't think I would be coming back to this place anymore. They had one person working on the side we were with my friends and it looked like some of the parties that were there were not happy with their service either. We left hungry because we did not want to order more food because the first time it took forever for our food to get there.

The short rib with the mashed potatoes was delicious. Definitely a must get.

The decorations are great. Love the ambience. But food is not impressive. Just average. Don't go for the food-go for the atmosphere.

The place looks nice however they sat us at a dirty table. Then they gave us dirty plates, then the silver wear was dirty. I asked for plastic after that. But I made the most of it, paid my bill and left. Not sure if I'll go back.

there was mold in one of the drinks, i work in the restaurant industry aswell & have seen mold from not properly cleaned ice bins. The food was AMAZING we were so surprised & will definitely come come back for the food as for drinks we'll stick to no ice drinks. our server must've been overstimulated i'll gove her the benefit of the doubt because my table had seen her about 3 times the entire visit despite us needing extra help. took forever to pay. our empty plates sitting on the table for nearly an hour, waiting to go home. not the worst service as she was nice but she needs to work on that hospitality.

Opentable Diner

We had a reservation we had to wait to be sat. Then we got sat in a dark and very loud room that was extremely crowded and didn't have music — just loud talking. We waited for over 15 minutes and were not greeted by anyone, even for water, so we left.

The restaurant was nicely decorated. We dined with two teenagers who ordered Dr. Pepper and were told they only had Diet Coke. She brought them one from a can. We tried to order fries and were told they weren't very good- that they were from an air fryer. Food was very expensive for not much flavor or quality.

Ambiance is nice but the food …. Absolutely not . Went here for my birthday and I was highly upset at how the food came out . It wasn’t just me , my whole party was disappointed but hey . At least we got some good pictures.

We came here for NYE dinner. Definitely from the moment we walked in, the place was picture worthy. Beautiful Christmas decorations from floor to ceiling. The service was great, drinks and food came fast. So many drink options it was hard to choose. Good food options. Once seated and our deinks came, a lady came and took a more than a few pictures of us. In the end before we left they had all the pictures in a gorgeous glass frame that you could choose one or all of them for a price. They were cute so we def had to get one. This is definitely a spot you can come w friends or on a date. We'll be back for sure.

Had a horrible experience at the holiday bar on 12/27. We had a reservation for 2 at 8:45. Showed up at 8:40 and checked in. The hostess didn’t communicate how long we would have to wait. After 10 minutes, I asked how much longer and she said we were the next to be seated. Other parties got seated instead. After another 10 minutes, I check in again and she says they gave away our table. I was standing 10 feet away from her the whole time.

We finally got seated at 9:30, 45 minutes after our reservation. There was no apology for seating us 45 minutes late.

No one brought us water for another 10 minutes. Then, two waiters came up, picked our bags and coats up off of the third seat at our table, handed them to us, and took the chair with them to place it at another table, all without saying a word to us. I didn’t appreciate them grabbing my things without asking.

Finally, we ordered one round of drinks and two appetizers. The menu said the cheese plate would come with olives. It didn’t. The food was mediocre otherwise. Drinks were good, though! We would have ordered more drinks were it not for the other issues.

When the waitress brought our check, without prompting, she complained about how busy they were and that the hostesses were messing everything up by opening the top room without telling anyone. Very unprofessional to complain about coworkers to your customers like that.

Also, the bathroom was dirty and there were no hooks in the stalls to hang bags and coats.

The space was cute with Christmas decor but the service was shockingly bad and the food was average at best. Can’t recommend.

Hmmmm…overpriced, mediocre Iuke warm food (French fries were definitely from the frozen section in Walmart and overcooked). Busy for no reason. Service is super slow! I don’t care about those dangling gifts and all that Christmas decor. Serve your customers !! Will never return again!
