An unusual place that is historic and fun to go to. All out Hogwarts vibe. Rich wood etc. Chef is a CIA grad and his food reflects it. Everything seasoned properly and seasoned well with salt and butter. We had prix fix dinner which included a tasty and simpleamuse bouche, which was really an hors dourve. Appetizer course was perfectly cooked scallops and buretta. Salad course was the only thing that didn't live up to the rest of the meal. Two leaves of lettuce with cubed beets and a light citrus dressing. Entree was sea bass for us. Again everything was prepared meticulously with rich flavors. Lastly dessert was a classic creme brûlée and a deep dark chocolate cake. A real treat. We will definitely visit again.
