    Good restaurant with pretty views, but definitely not one of the top ten in Washington as trip advisor promoted them. Creative, delicious cocktails, but charcuterie board very basic

    I didn’t know when booking that there would be a fixed menu our bill was $260 for steak and a soggy lobster. The drinks were ok but too expensive for the amount of ice. I wasnt impressed with the limited options. Our server was kind and attentive. The ambiance was nice.

    Great atmosphere, service and cocktails. Food was average. Sent my fish back. Zero flavor. Nice place for drinks and app’s though. I’d return in the summer to experience the outdoor seating and a happy hour.
