   Group of seven, waitress helped us make space for us all to sit. We were out on the patio. They were low on staff that night so only one person was serving inside and out. We had a lovely meal and enjoyed the eclectic but high-quality cooking That I expect from this restaurant. The cocktails were tasty and fun. The french fries were crispy, the hamburger was juicy tasty and satisfying, everyone loved their entrées. Dinner for seven minus alcohol was very reasonably priced. The patio is a great place to enjoy good weather. In shoulder season in the DC area we like to take advantage of it.

   Evening Star had their outdoor area ready and prepared with comfortable seating, plenty of shade and good music, all of which made for a lovely and relaxing vibe. All of the staff were cheery and efficient and the food was delicious. All in all, perfect!

   Overall, we had a nice brunch with an old friend. We were a party of 3 and fit nicely in one of their larger booths. The food was well prepared and tasty. However, the menu has changed and a couple of our favorite items were removed. I'd say we missed our favorites compared to two of the new ones we ordered. The music was a bit loud for a Sunday brunch. Look forward to visiting again as well as trying some of their sister places next door.

   Delicious entree (brisket meatloaf) and the Brussels Sprouts appetizer also really good. A neighborhood staple and still one of the best.

   We really wanted to love this restaurant, but the only memorable part of the night was the slow and poor service. Ordered our drinks and meal and it was 20 minutes to receive a soda and 55 minutes to get our meal. We felt like we were an inconvenience to our server. The olives were good! The meal was ok. We also observed the host using his sleeve to wipe dry two appetizer plates while setting a table across from us.

   Hi Beth, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the service. Waiting 20 minutes for a soda and 55 minutes for your meal is unacceptable, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. It’s also concerning to hear that you felt like an inconvenience to your server and observed the host using their sleeve to wipe plates—this is not reflective of the standards we aim to uphold. Your feedback is invaluable, and I will be addressing these concerns with our team to ensure improvements are made. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the exceptional experience we strive to deliver. Best regards, Níamh O'Donovan Service Director

   Friendly FOH. Tasty drinks. Tasty food. My trout was outstanding. My wife’s pasta with duck confit was good not great.

   The food is fantastic but every time I have been there has been a huge problem with the service. There does not seem to be enough staff and the staff is fairly incompetent in terms of tending to tables. I was hoping things had changed after waiting a couple of years to return but the service is still a huge problem.

    An off night for the evening star. Food was average - usually love the brussel sprouts but they were overcooked and not crispy. Undersauced. And no scallops on the menu- one of my favorite dishes in the past. We’ll be back soon though - still good food, love the quirky ambiance and staff is always friendly and helpful.
