   Excellent staff with excellent food across the board. Will be recommending this place to my friends who happen to be stopping by in the DC area!

   Our service was not good. We had 5 people at a 4 top which I didn’t mind but I had to ask for a plate and silverware for that fifth seat. No attempt at clearing appetizer dishes to make room for the entrées was made. We had to ask for every drink refill. We had to look like we were leaving to get the check picked up. On the positive side the appetizers and entrées came fast once we ordered. We had pizza crabcake sandwich and two chicken salads, one of which had twice as much chicken as the other. Overall, the food was great. I suspect maybe they were shortstaffed and our server had more tables than she was used to. It is expensive with fountain sodas at $4.50. Our total for 2 adults and 3 teens was $180 and very little food left over. Knowing these things I would go there again but not on a capitals game night.

   Be careful when ordering brunch. Poached eggs are overcooked.

   I had a great experience at the high top tables by the bar. Joia took excellent care of us. It was a great first visit for me and my dad. We shared a salad and a pizza. Joia made sure the salad was split before it arrived at the table. The food was very tasty. Very pleased with our overall experience.

   Great experience except for the hostess who did not speak when we arrived or left. She definitely acted racist. No smile, no acknowledgment. We had to ask for a table of 5. She had major attitude. The bartender and server was nice and kind. Hostess should be fired.
