    It was for refreshing to have a dinner in the city where you could hear the person across the table from you. Very rare in Washington DC these days. The food was excellent, and our server was thoughtful and appropriately attentive. One of my pet peeves is that in most restaurants untrained bus boys are yanking plates off the table while others are eating. This goes on throughout the whole end of the dinner service and it's irritating AF. Either this staff is trained properly or because it was slower. No one was trying to turn the table. Either way, I appreciated not feeling rushed. This was the Thursday night and it was a little rainy, so the restaurant was pretty quiet. When I come back next time, I hope to have another quiet evening in the dining room. It was really nice to not have to scream across the table to have a conversation.
