A solid bar to stop in to get a few drinks and some bar food. The day we dropped in, we were hoping for more intricate cocktails, but we couldn't complain overall. The Old Fashioned was a solid middle of the road OF -- didn't absolutely love it, but also didn't absolutely hate it.

Service was great I had a fantastic server and great speed for getting a table. The food was not good. Typical salty bar food. Sandwich was burned and salty. Could not eat

The good: The service team were amazing and made sure that were taken care of with prompt service. The bad: There was a hair in my eggs, 1/2 the steak was pure fat, and food was under-seasoned.

Excellent food. Short, concise menu that has enough to satisfy, but not so much its complicated.Monica was my bartender. She was nice, very efficient, and best of all attentive. She was the only bartender, but was able to service the entire bar without losing track of who ordered what, or who needed service. Very impressive!The only thing I might have changed are the size of the bathroom sinks (very petite), and adding a few more TVs. Overall, excellent place, and I'm glad I stopped by!

The food was very good, although I was expecting a larger portion of tomato bisque for the "grilled cheese and tomato bisque" option (it might have said that the bisque was only there for dipping the sandwich, but I honestly didn't read the description). My husband loved the ravioli.Service was slightly below average. We did not receive water upon arriving, needing to request it. I needed to request a high chair more than once. And a little thought could have been put into needing a sauce container when I needed to take the grilled cheese and tomato bisque home. Not bad service, but not great.The atmosphere is more like a bar than a restaurant, but it wasn't too loud for our small children or table conversation.Kid-friendliness: We had to ask for a high chair more than once, and we were not given a kids menu. I wouldn't say this is a family restaurant, but they didn't seem against having kids there, especially during the day/early evening when they're less busy.

They serve some delicious beer brined wings here. I think they are amongst the best tasting in the area. I don't drink beer, but they offer a varied selection on tap. The cocktails are delicious as well. Multiple monitors are here for sports viewing, and there is music in the background to groove to.

We didn’t know what to expect, but the decor and ambiance was awesome. What turned “one drink” into five hours was Monika and Kris - they were awesome! Engaging, funny, attentive, but most importantly, they know how to read a room and make sure everyone is taken care of and having fun. First time in a long time, I enjoyed going to a “DC” bar.

My husband and I ate here for the 1st time on Friday night for dinner. It was a rare 70 degree day in January and it was so enjoyable to be on the patio. The restaurant was very busy and seemed a bit understaffed (server was also handling hostess duties) but the servers did not skip a beat. They were very attentive and friendly. I wanted a mocktail (there wasn't one on the menu) but the server made one up for me that was really delicious. The food was tasty. I especially loved the claim chowder and the cheese plate.

Disappointed
We had reservations to come in at 7 pm. We were promptly sat at a table but it took 15 mins to get an initial order for drinks in and the drinks didn't show up until 15 mins later. It took almost a full hour before we got an order for food in. The main courses came before appetizers and one of our party didn't even get their order (even though they ordered first). Most of the staff were helpful and we did receive a discount but the money spent for what we got in terms of food and service didn't make sense.
Honestly I have no words for this place. Food was cold, music was non existent and when we asked to speak to the manager, a rude and disrespectful manager named Dizree (sp? She talked to quietly I couldn’t hear exactly her name) but she basically disrespected me and my mom when we said the food was cold. We just wanted it reheated! We didn’t ask for anything else, I said “can this be put in the microwave for a little longer” and was met with an eye roll and a laugh. This had been my fav date night spot but no more. I even came here on NYE and they ran out of champagne before midnight. Just disappointed and if the manager can’t even be sympathetic to cold food you better believe the rest of the staff gives 0 effs.

Let me say this, the ambiance and the music the decor were it. I went with my sister 2 days ago and arrived met the waiters and got a drink. Within a span of 10 Mins two guys came up to us and just started talking. At first we were nice but we quickly realize they were already drunk. After politely declining they keep coming back. And one kept touching me after u asked him to leave. MIND you the whole time the bartender Jacob was there witnessing the whole thing. Never intervened until we literally told him to. I get you know them and they may be regulars but at the expense of making other patrons uncomfortable is not okay. We did get food as well but it was cold af. I would go back for happy hour but nothing else.

Service was good. The waitresses were nice but the food was TERRIBLE. It’s very basic bar food made fancy but not what you’d expect for the price. My lettuce wraps were not even wrapped and I got the tiniest bowl with the crab salad completely tasteless.Beer menu was very basic too - just IPA’s. If you want cocktails, go for it but eat somewhere else first.
