    Delicious! Welcomed with taking our coats and a choice between a window table and a more private table. Food was exceptional.

    Great food and service! Everyone was very accommodating. Host gave us a very nice table at the window, on a cold and rainy night. He knew the heaters were over there. Our server was wonderful. He suggested a very good wine and brought us a little taste of it first. Our entrées were delicious and cooked to perfection. This was our second time there and it will be our last

    Food and selections were good. Restaurant is close to Capitol Hilton and made reservations for lunch on a chilly day. The patio would be fun but was too cold. Servers were very helpful, quick and plentiful. Would eat here again!

    We have been to this restaurant twice when we visited DC and have enjoyed it very much both times. The food, service and ambiance are all first-rate.

    Nice atmosphere. Good service. Not the most exciting area of the city but near the mall if you are in that area. The carbonara was very tasty. The Caesar salad sounded like it would have a nice kick but was a little bland and the dessert mousse was good but the crust needed a knife to cut through. One thing I noticed in DC is that some restaurants add a 20 percent service charge /tip onto the bill. Another restaurant was transparent about it. This one was not. If we didn’t look closely, we might not have noticed and tipped then 40 percent which is ridiculous. Be transparent and don’t expect/trick diners already paying a lot (and the US exchange rate) to supplement so much. 20 percent you add on is plenty.

    Service was subpar given the type of restaurant we were in. Our server took forever to come back where we spoke with 3 different servers who brought things to us that were missing before she came by.
