   Our server was not very attentive. Asked for ketchup and few other things. All he did was bring the food and grab a check. There was no interaction in between. Still gave him 30% tip but should have gotten 5%.

   During my stay at the Dupont Circle, Hotel I dined breakfast and lunch with family and friends and a business meeting. I got to meet pretty much everybody who works at the Pembroke! It was really delicious and thank you for your excellent service.

   A lovely restaurant, with good, overpriced food and a nice ambience. However, our service was poor; the appetizer arrived after the entree, bread arrived midway through dinner and we waited 15 minutes a drink on a very quiet night with few patrons.

   It was overall good. I wish they would mention on the menu the type of bread they use on the burger since brioche is just butter with flour.

We appreciate your suggestion about noting the type of bread on the menu — it's helpful comments like yours that help us continue to improve.
