    Nice but nothing special dinner at CG - had not been for quite a while since Mothers Day the other year at NM location. Nice ambience….good service…wish the food was a little stronger….not bad just nothing memorable. To start, shared wings, focaccia, calamari and pork belly…all fine…pork belly was best of the bunch. Entrees included short rib (nice short rib but meh sides), scallops (good not great) and a couple of pizzas and burgers plus a side of bacon Mac & cheese (weakest of bunch). Truly wanted to give higher marks but at almost $100 a person all in with drinks (no bottles of wine but two cocktails/glasses of wine and each), was hoping for a bit more.

    The meal I had at Proper21 was delicious. They even let me substitute sweet potato fries for mashed potatoes. And the fries were awesome and a lot! Our server was delightful and helpful. So was the host at the door. My friends enjoyed their meals, too! We’re so glad we stopped in!

    The food was beautifully prepared and delicious . Service was very good, non- obtrusive but attentive . We asked for the half round table next to the piano when we made the reservation and that is where we were seated. It was vey appreciated that we were not rushed and asked if we wanted to relax with our drinks before the menus were brought over. A wonderful evening. We did notice that the prices had increased dramatically since our last visit. We just hope the Resturant is still open the next time we come to DC.
