    This restaurant has great ambiance, food, drinks, and staff. While the farm to table aspect is impressive itself, the fact that they make their own spirits is an added bonus. I had the G&T Fizz, recommended by our waiter Lucas, and it was excellent. Lucas was attentive and knowledgeable making the overall experience 10 out of 10.

    We come to this restaurant before Caps games. It is very busy on game nights. But the wait staff is always wonderful and pleasant even with the chaos. The food is consistently good. The manager,Eric Pollard,is outstanding! He makes it a point to stop at all the tables but more importantly, he actually engages with the customers, and seems to truly care what they think. Since we are there fairly often, he has gotten to be familiar with us and immediately will come over and say hi. He just makes you feel important, even though there are hundreds of people within the restaurant. He is one of the reasons that we come back for every game. Leadership like his trickles down to the staff which is evident in how in turn the staff treats customers.

    Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
