Mostly an upscale sports bar. Had mentioned a special occasion in the reservation but there wasn’t anything special added to the experience. Overall fine and would prob go back for better than average bar food.

When my guests arrived and asked for my table, they were told I was not here yet when I was already seated. Other than that, the food was ok but the ambiance was nice.

Our waitperson was very nice, very attentive and brought a great birthday sundae for my spouse. However, the Thursday special half pound of shrimp was way over cooked and rubbery, though nicely spiced. Our spinach/Brussels sprouts salad was good. It was early on a Caps playoff night, and the noise wasn’t too bad. The beer was ok and the happy hour price good. Altogether just fine.
