    This was an amazing experience I really enjoyed the fact that from the moment you arrive they make it feel personal as if you and your guest as if you rented out the place.. every dish was explained in great culinary fashion and I love the way each server and host incorporated their knowledge of the dish being served. Hands down one of the premier experiences in the D.C area and a must for impressing any level of company you have. The value is very worth it but the experience is priceless..

    Nicely surprised by the new location! I liked the old location and ambience and find this new location very open, bright and love the big windows. It made seeing what was happening on the street corner so cool to watch from the inside! Guess it helped that it was snowing outside! Good was great and our server was attuned and right there when we needed something! Also nice that I can now receive wifi with no issue! 😉. Well done!

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
