Usually dine here every visit to DC and they did not disappoint me. As usual everything was absolutely perfect! They also went out of their way to accommodate my request for onion rings which I enjoy with a great steak dinner. In addition, they make a fantastic old fashioned. Looking forward to my next steak dinner at this elegant steakhouse.

Great service from start to finish. Ambience was cozy and in a great location overall. Great price for valet parking!! Sophisticated crowd overall with symphony-goers and local residents mixed in; very close to the Kennedy by car. Crispy mushrooms were excellent but I would get another appetizer to breakup monotony of shrooms. Lamb ribs were a bit too fatty and tuna bolognese was an interesting twist on bolognese. Portions were appropriate in size. I would return

Staff was friendly. Food is delicious but overpriced I think. Rice in rolls was sticky and a bit dry. My friend liked the pork ramen. Overall I had a good experience
