Service was exceptionally poor. Customers should not have to beg for water. Dinner should not take 3.5 hours because wait staff are inattentive. Over priced drink order was wrong. Bathrooms were dirty and had no hand towels or dryers for hands. Angry that I was charged 18% tip for such an exceptionally poor service.

Great service, food, atmosphere, and convenience to National Landing's residents and visitors. Medi P and Arianna are the best.Vegetarian options: Good options and good non alcoholic adult drinks

Probably a good place for drinks and apps at the bar. The soft pretzel was good. But the beet and goat cheese spinach salad with grilled chicken was not good and service was very slow. I do not recommend eating dinner here, personally.

This place is located in a hotel - Crown Plaza Crystal City. This wasn't clear, but I probably just missed that. Parked in the street using the park app. There is a parking garage. I do r know if they validate for restaurant business.Restaurant is pretty small. We weee promptly greeted and seated at a table for 2.Wife had the autumn inspired sangria. I stuck with water this trip.Menu was reasonable in depth and price. Not bad for DC metro at least.We started with the mezzeh appetizer. Super good.I had the burger. I can't remember what the wife had, but she smiled through the meal, so it must have been fine.Good service. Good vibe.Recommended while in Crystal City area.

Service was great and food was good in general. Steak was a tad over cooked because it was thin. Fries were soggy.

You never know what you might get in a hotel restaurant. They were clearly short staffed but all servers and bartenders worked together to make it happen. CJ was doing triple duty covering host podium, bar & a few tables. All that aside, our drinks were delicious & the food was phenomenal. Ingredients were fresh & Flavor combinations were interesting & complimentary. Beets were properly roasted, spinach was properly dressed, goat cheese was proper portion so as to be complimentary but not steal the show, tacos had a multitude of flavors that all worked in concert with each other & the Salmon was high quality & perfectly cooked… a crisp seat on the outside & just a faint hue of translucency at the core. It’s important we give credit to the kitchen as it was clearly a busy night & they took pride in preparation & didn’t just “schlep it out”….. THANK YOU CHEF! Well done!

Great experience with Potomac Social Tavern, they were able to host a party of 14 within a few days' notice. Great staff and the wait time for food and drinks wasn't long even on a Friday night.

My wife and I frequent this gem. On our wedding anniversary, I used Open Table and added that remark. The staff greeted us with congratulations and sat us. Normal great service and food but they surprised us with a dessert with “happy anniversary “ on the plate. That's just who this place is. Go,,, enjoy the place.

Convenient location for our purpose that evening. Small location with food that is adequate. Service was spotty; they were quite busy. Our meals were ordered at the same time yet one of us waited a good 15 minutes while the other 2 had their meals. We checked quite a few times before the third meal finally arrived. Looked to have a nice bar scene. Would not return when in that area again.

Food was very tasty. However, we had 5 folks at our table and one person did not get her meal. Eventually, she did, but everyone else had finished by then. The restaurant did comp her meal which was very kind. Also, our water glasses were not filled and they may have been short on staff. I would go back for the food and hope the service issue was just a one time mistake.

Just finished dinner. Food was good, as expected flavor wise, but a bit cold.Never got water refills, never got checked on after our food was delivered, had to ask for the check because we were left alone so long. Felt unattended. So all in all- good food, bad service- at least tonight.

Had a wonderful time utilizing the private room. Had a blood orange margaritas-must have.The Travern Caesar was good. The chicken gave it another level. The chicken wings were delish!!The Rigatoni Bolognese was decent portion, with good flavor. Very nice service.
