    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.

    I specifically ordered a well-done wagyu burger because I’m pregnant, but they gave me one with uncooked red meat. The place was so dimly lit that I couldn’t even see the meat properly, so I ended up eating half of it before realizing. I took the other half home in a to-go box, and that’s when I saw that the meat wasn’t cooked at all—it was red and raw! How could they be so careless and serve unsafe food to a pregnant woman?! This is beyond irresponsible!
