To say Tj is an amazing Bartender would be an understatement! He takes his time and knows how to serve drinks while communicating with patrons. He is a big hunk with delicate hands to help carve the perfect orange slice for an enticing cognac drink.

Welcoming. Great cocktails, creative menu

Amazing little find in this area. Delicious cocktails; they had an earl grey infused gin cocktail that was amazing. The small plates were perfect to share with plenty of gluten free options on the menu. Seating is limited, so I'd suggest a reservation!

The Reserve is becoming one of our favorite little spots. Just upstairs from DRP and a world apart, quiet, no kids, better food and the cocktails are great.

Great food and friendly staff.

Great service. The Halloween theme was cool. Interesting wine and beer selection, not your usual stuff. We had a red blend from the Canary Islands. Food was decent. Short rib was unremarkable, just like any other you can find in DC. Scallops were good. Food wasn't as hot as it should have been when it arrived.

Excellent cocktails and food in a small venue. Unique place, definitely recommend.

Wanted to go here after trying the delicious jicama fried shrimp tacos at Taste of Del Ray! They are on the menu, fyi, and you should definitely get them! All the plates we tried were so good, especially the wagyu sirloin! Portions were also generous and my husband actually ended up being too full at the end of the meal, which was nice for a change compared to many small plates restaurants that leave him complaining about being hungry. We'll definitely be back!

Has anyone noticed a decline here? This used to be my go-to favorite place, but the last couple of times I've been it was marginal. The old favorites weren't as good, and the new menu items were boring things that I could make at home. Even the wait staff changed. It used to be hard to get a table. The last time I went it was practically empty. I'll give it another chance or two but I'm very disappointed in the decline. So here we are, 10 months later. I've loved, loved, loved this restaurant for years. They advertised a wine and food tasting event for 5/16, I called and made reservations on 5/7, spoke with a real person and gave her my phone number and email. My husband and I showed up at the allotted time only to see a sign on the door saying the event was cancelled. Why didn't they call or email me? We worked our entire day's schedule around this event, then had to scramble. That's it. Done.

Loved the food, plates are small, but, satisfying. The wine selection was great!

Amazing food and drinks everytime we have gone. Hands down our favorite restaurant! One must order item every time is the steak!

Great place! The staff was very friendly and they gave us some good recommendations on the food and the wine to go with it. They really know their food and their wines! The menu isn't big but because the plates are not huge like in most restaurants, we were able to try different things and everything was super tasty!
