    The food has gone downhill significantly since our last visit. Everything was mediocre at best unfortunately. The drinks were great, and the staff was great, but the food needs a review

    My only complaint is that I was there for date night. (Which I put on the reservation). However I was not offered the date night menu. As a gay man in 2024 in Arlington, it was weird to feel such homophobia and discrimination. The other couples were treated as such and I felt like I was at a business meeting.

    Served warm Sancerre, and when notified we were told that the establishment was aware as they had the same complaint from another party. No remedy was offered. The place was noisy, over crowded, and the staff was reasonably overwhelmed and hosts and hostesses were not cordial. For the price and service, we rather take the five extra minutes to cross over to Georgetown for quality service.
