    We absolutely  enjoyed the four-course brunch at this wonderful restaurant, and I have to say, it truly exceeded all expectations. Our server Freddy, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, charming, professional, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Freddy recommended the Carolina Gumbo, which was full of flavor, and the Shrimp and Grits, which was nothing short of spectacular. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were creamy with just the right amount of kick. Thanks Freddy for making this brunch experience unforgettable 👏

    An awesome experience! Highly recommend and will be back. Made a reservation for lunch for a party of 6. We were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. We were seated in a back corner and it was very hot when we sat down. The management adjusted the temperature when we informed them. Three of us got the Chef’s Tasting Menu and I added the Wine Pairing for an extra $45. The others ordered off the lunch menu. We enjoyed everything and plenty of food with the Tasting Menu. Highly recommend!

    I had dinner with my wife and two daughters tonight. The food was amazing. The appetizers came out quickly and they were delicious. We had the Tuna Tartare and Lamb Chops. For our dinner, we had Filet Mignon, Pan Seared Sea Scallops, and Pan Seared Chillean Seabass. The entrees were fabulous as were the sides, BVG Hashbrowns and Sautéed Spinach. For desert, we had Creme Brûlée and Lemon Crunch Cake. Our server was Victor. We all agree that Victor is, by far, the best server ever. He explained all the dishes and was very attentive throughout our meal. He was also very friendly and made us feel at home. We will eat here again when we return to DC and we will request Victor. Amazing dining experience.

    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!
