Cordelia provided everything I needed for a perfect late-night meal—exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and a decadent sweet potato dessert that still lingers on my taste buds. I’ll be coming back again and again!

Our server was Diamond and he was very knowledgeable about not only the menu but the wine as well! I was torn between two different types and he brought me both to try. The hospitality from start to finish was impeccable! Definitely my favorite place in DC

As a first time patron, it was great to enjoy an excellent meal while supported by a great team. Their suggestions were well received and yielded delicious plates to our table. The wine list includes a lot of diverse Spanish wines that are reasonably priced. Future visits are definitely warranted!

Brunch was great. Calamari, oysters were outstanding. The prawns and waffles dish was amazing, the waffles were simply perfectly made. The unlimited drink special is great, but has 2 issues for improvement: 1. Drinks were way too sweet. 2. All the drinks included are rum based. Would have been great to have more variety of spirits.

Went for brunch with a friend. Food was underwhelming. Our black bass was small and improperly cooked. Our Dutch baby was gummy in the middle. Service was slow despite a nearly empty restaurant. Not sure that I will return.

Our waiter Ebon guided us through the specials and all his suggestions were spot on. We loved the brussel sprouts so much we asked for a second order! The suggested sauces made for great compliments to our entrees. Raves about the beet salad and sea bass! It’s a bit pricey but we knew that going in.
