    I had the lamb shank tasted ok, but was dry. My wife had the haddock and shrimp risotto the fish was over cooked . Server was very nice. Will have to think again about coming back.

    We have liked District 118 but the last 2 times someone, from the waitstaff to kitchen, got an order wrong so an entree was delayed. This last time the staff did not act surprised. We will try again at some point...

    My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.

    We love this place. The staff are friendly and actually have gone to the trouble of remembering our names and greeting us when we arrive. The quinoa-mushroom veggie burger is probably the best veggie burger I've had anywhere.
