We went for the Thanksgiving dinner, and we enjoyed the every piece of the three course meal. The appetizers and main course were culinary master pieces.

The waiters need to be a little less hovering and doing multiple checks. Check once, then just observe. But they were all friendly and courteous.

Green Pig Bistro is a great place to go for brunch. The food is great at a reasonable price point and the service was impeccable. Their new location is awesome being more centralized in Clarendon which will help bring in more customers. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the DMV area looking for good brunch places.
