    We were greeted by a very welcoming hostess. The manager, however was not so pleasant. He came across very short and dismissive when I explained the seating arrangement was too tight. The hostess could see our frustration and took the initiative to step in to ensure our table was set up so we could be comfortably seated. While we waited for our table, we sat at the bar and was provided excellent service by Jeffrey, who was very kind and thoughtful in his interaction and service. Our waiter, Nicholas took our dining experience to the next level. He anticipated our needs and was knowledgeable of the menu. Nicholas had a great personality. We enjoyed the personable and professional service he provided. All of his recommendations were spot on and the food was amazing!

    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.

    Biscuits were the best I’ve ever had, crab cake was yummy and the key lime pie was large and worth the money. Nice overall atmosphere and super close by the Marriott Marquis and Convention Center. Definitely recommend!

    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.
