    Seemed like it was literally a training day so I’ll give a pass on the less than perfect service ;)

    We went at 4 on a Sunday so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The restaurant is very nice atmosphere and the food was good and not too pricey for DC. The crowd picked up around 6 but not soo busy that it felt over crowded or rushed. Def would go back.

    The staff were very welcoming however, service was a little slow. It was evident they were short (staffed) and training but it wasn't too bothersome. The burgers and wings were really good and we all loved our cocktails. Wait staff very helpful in choosing drinks. I would go back and try other dishes as well.

    Decent food and very good service, but very loud. Hard to have a conversation at your table.

    The meal I had at Proper21 was delicious. They even let me substitute sweet potato fries for mashed potatoes. And the fries were awesome and a lot! Our server was delightful and helpful. So was the host at the door. My friends enjoyed their meals, too! We’re so glad we stopped in!

    We had a blast in this lively bar, very chatty waitstaff, excellent food, strong drinks and eclectic crowd. My colleague is not a fan of sports bars (while I am an afficiando), but they had a great time. Korean chicken wings! Barataria! Rigatoni! All yum.
