“Pub like atmosphere with an eclectic menu. Service was pretty good, and certainly helpful and friendly. The menu is somewhat like a tapas place in that the portions are fairly small and if you go hungry, you may need to order more than one. Has an outside area, heated, where you enjoy the official bird song of Washington DC - the police siren.“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“I like delicious Carne Guisada And Delicious Pupusas Salvadorian.“

“I am so glad I found out about this place! The only plant-based restaurant in the entire DMV area with a Michelin star. We had the 14-course tasting menu. Happycow only allows 9 photos, so I can't upload the whole meal but I wish I could! The menu has four "acts". It began with prickly pear/tajin candies with edible rice paper wrappers. Then a hot cocoa with rum. Then 5 types of arepas (pictured) with 3 different dips... the cashew sour cream was sublime! That was the opening act. First act included the yuba, celery root, and black bean mole on a crisp (pictured), that has been posted elsewhere as it's on top of a glass box with money in it. Referring as an offering to ancestors. The next course was a delicious soup with fava beans and plantains, the recipe of the executive chef's grandmother. Then a watermelon, carrot, and avocado dish (pictured). I am not usually a watermelon fan but this type was good. Second act included coconut ceviche, a small bite with heart of palm and seaweed and tomato (pictured), and a main dish of roasted beet with wild rice and black truffle (pictured). Also a black bean tamale with trumpet mushroom (pictured, though the mushroom was way too salty - my only complaint of the entire meal). Third act included a melon, parsnip, and basil snack, a dessert with cherry and mochi (pictured, tribute to the DC cherry blossom trees), and a candy made of dulce de leche. We finished with a mango sorbet as it was a special occasion (off-menu). I had the tequila flight (very slowly throughout the meal), which complemented each dish. My partner, who is not a vegan, said it was the best meal she's ever had in the DMV area, ever! We got to talk to the owner/chef. All the servers were very gracious and happy to hear how much we loved the food. Plus, we met celebrity chef Pati Jinich, who was there seated at the table next to us and very kind when we thought we recognized her as someone we knew, but in reality we had seen her on TV! Just a coincidence that she was there. All the dishes are Latin inspired from all different countries in central and south America. Overall an unforgettable experience. Tasting menu was $150 per person when we went in April 2025, plus tax/tip etc. You won't regret going there! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-20“

“Such a great experience! We chose the tapas experience and lemme tell you, it got us so full! Didn’t have a chance to try the cocktails but the mocktails were great. The presentation of the food and drinks were spectacular. The aesthetic of the restaurant was warm.
Can’t wait to be back!“

“I sat in the bar and had the hilachas guatemaltecas, and it was excellent and included homemade corn tortillas. The hilachas stew was a bit more potato heavy than I expected but that did not detract from the experience. It was also my first time having it, so it was a learning experience for me.

The service at the bar was excellent. I overheard people saying that the server was the cutest! She was incredibly nice and definitely makes you feel welcomed and seems excited that you’re there as a customer. It’s refreshing to receive such nice treatment.

The west facing windows bring afternoon light, and it has a cute ambience that would be great for a small group, a couple, or even just one person to grab lunch or dinner.

The “booth” side seating has a cushion for your bottom, but the wall is your back. There are several other tables with all chairs though, and there are two small sidewalk tables outside.“

“My husband had my surprise 50th here. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make this night memorable. The owner did everything he could to make everyone have a great experience. The food was outstanding! By far the best Mexican food around!“

“I visited one day for lunch, and got the shrimp po boy with fries. It was delicious! The cost was reasonable. The shrimp were a good size, seasoned and fried well. The fries were tasty too. I hope they stick around and continue to serve good food at good prices. I'll be back!“

“Incredible food, but what really sets this place apart is their cooking classes. The classes are in high demand so you have to get your tickets in advance, but it is well worth it. We had a bunch of regulars attending with us, so we knew it was going to be a great time.The owner, who instructs the class, is very kind, patient, and generous. He took his time teaching and answering questions, provided more than enough supplies, and did everything he could to ensure we had a wonderful experience.We started with a cocktail and fresh focaccia bread. The marinara sauce with the bread and some other dishes was the tastiest sauce I’ve ever had. There was a self serve station for water and wine throughout the class. We made a fried risotto appetizer, pizza, spinach and cheese ravioli, and gnocchi. The owner and his staff gave one-on-one instruction when needed, and were very nice and helpful.We gave the staff everything we had prepared to be cooked in the kitchen. Our dishes were returned hot and ready for a delicious meal. There was so much food we were provided with to go containers and had it for several meals afterwards. We were also treated to limoncello gelato and limoncello shots at the very end of the class.This class was so fun and informative, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The quality ingredients, experience, drinks, and food were well worth the price. Highly recommend!“
