Best Modern Southern American Restaurants in Mount Vernon Square

you HAVE to try the rasta pasta!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Our server (Sanita, I think?) was extraordinary, polite, the right amount of attentiveness

This was our second time in a week. The food is outstanding, as the service--very friendly, quiet, helpful, knowledgeable. The ambience is lovely. They have retained the decor of Birch and Barley, which is great. The lighting is lovely, warm and low, but bright enough to read. All in all, a great experience. Neighborhood favorite.

Service was a little slow; think they were short staffed. But we had a nice time and the food was good.

I will definitely be going back again. The food was delicious. We ordered the lobster and crab scampi, crab cakes, lamb chops, mac ‘n cheese, kale caesar salad, and the corn bread (waiter recommendation). Everything… EVERYTHING… was delicious. Portion sizes were reasonable. The salad and the mac and cheese are shareable. Our waiter was on his A game and we didn’t want for anything. He was on too of it and knew the menu very well. The drinks were excellent. Can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this first time experience.
