Great ambience and view of the Washington Monument. Nice open space but not noisy. Very chill vibes. Delicious food especially the Spanish shrimp, tuna, burrata and beets, and the gumbo. Will definitely visit again.

This is a perfect spot for dinner before a Hippodrome show. We told the waitstaff we had tickets and they made sure to get us out in time for the show! Excellent service and surprisingly good food for a hotel restaurant. We will dine here again.

Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
