    Service was very good, not perfect. Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Lobster cocktail was very tough.

    It was my birthday. I was greeted with birthday wishes. We arrived 15min early and were seated promptly- loved that! We were prepared to wait but that was a lovely surprise. Our server was great, wonderful conversation and speedy service. The shellfish tower & grilled swordfish was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.

    I frequently eat here as it’s one of my favorites in DC however our service messed our order up twice and we were the only patrons in the restaurant at 2:30p.m. Makes not for a great experience. Date of service- April 1
