    Food and service at the Park Potomac location are consistently very good. It was very loud on our visit for lunch today but it was also packed. We probably go about four times a year and have never been disappointed.

    Our experience here was amazing. Shoutout to our great server Connor. If he isn’t a lead server make him one TODAY ! So cool, so understanding & honestly great energy. I came for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. He told us the specials & even gave some recommendations. We both had steak with mash & green beans. If you are thinking about getting the peartini definitely grab you one. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back !
