   Review in English We had a pleasant evening. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Reservations are recommended, as there tends to be a queue otherwise. We had made a reservation and were seated within minutes. The food was average. The portion size was reasonable, but both the meat and vegetables were on the colder side, which was a bit disappointing. The dessert was very tasty, and the milkshake is highly recommended. The fries seemed to be leftovers, consisting mostly of small, hard pieces. The pricing is on the lower side, which ultimately tips the balance to a 4 out of 5 stars.

   I have eaten here several times and it never disappoints. The service is always great, and the wait staff very attentive. The food is delicious- I get something different every time and have always been impressed.

   I’ve been to this location many times over many years. Always enjoyed it which is why we go back often when family is visiting etc. tonight we had a party of 8, we were on time for our reservation, hostess doesn’t even say a word to me upon arrival in front of her…I had to say hello after standing in front of her for a few mins without being acknowledged… then made to wait a bit until the last 3 of our party arrived (4 mins after us, and within 5 mins of our reservation). The whole experience felt incredibly rushed and it was clear they were just trying to get people in and out as quick as possible, 3/8 entrees our guests tried to ordered “were out of that” and they had to pick something else on the spot. The food was good, which I’m glad about. But all entrees came out on top of our apps. When we were brought the TOTAL for our dinner, we had the server come with just the credit card swipe device without ever being given a bill to view??!!! Makes NO sense…. She simply told us what the total was and expected payment right there. It was odd an awkward, who doesn’t want to see their bill?? We paid and then asked for a copy of the full receipt as we should have been given from the start. Then she had us fill out the “did you enjoy your experience” on the device right in front of her??? We were there not even 90 minutes before the total was being jammed down our throats, then within 5 minute of us having just paid we were asked to get up and leave because the next party was ready for our table. So unprofessional and not a good feeling that a party of 8 who just spent $500 is being rushed out in such a short time. Sadly, this wont be our go to any longer.

   Excellent food and drink. My only complaint is that we had not finished our appetizers when our main courses came out and there was not enough room on the table for both! Next time I would ask for a wait in between!

    Went for Christmas dinner. Foggy Bottom was one of the two locations that had the a’ la carte menu which was why I picked the location. It was a little crowded waiting for our reservation time and they were behind but we expected that and didn’t mind. There were three of us and we all were happy with our meals. We had wings and the corn bread skillet for appetizers. The wings were really good. I’m not a fan of corn in my cornbread but it still tasted good. I had fried shrimp with fries, coleslaw and corn bread. The shrimp and fries were really good. The coleslaw was a little blah. Our other two diners had a platter with ribs, cheeseburger sliders and fried chicken and coleslaw. They both loved theirs but also were not fans of the coleslaw. The staff was friendly and professional and fast. We enjoyed talking to them and the two different sets of patrons sitting beside us. We had a great Christmas dinner despite it not being an “traditional” Christmas dinner and would come back again.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review, Margaret! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your Christmas dinner with us, despite the slight delay. We are also happy that the wings, fried shrimp, and other dishes were a hit! We appreciate your feedback on the coleslaw and will certainly take it into consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great meal! -Kiara
