We decided to visit Gatsby's on a whim, last minute, after a ball game at Nats Park. We were pleasantly surprised by the food and drink. It is a comfortable and friendly place with a decent and well executed menu, good cocktails and a good wine list. We were very satisfied with our experience and with the kindness of the team.
