Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Columbia Heights / Brightwood

Would like to give more stars to this Washington, D.C. institution. Let's start with the positives: Reservation was honored quickly. As promised, perhaps the best view in town. Solid service with attentive follow up. Uh, room for improvement? Drink prices on the high side. $19 for the "Swamp Cooler"? I get it, overhead has to be paid. Food - like the Calamari Shrimp appetizer was overcooked. Calamari should retain some juiciness, not reduced to a cardboard-like consistency. If you have people from out of town - impressive! I live in town and won't likely hurry back.

We had such a phenomenal experience for my friend’s birthday dinner last night! The food was amazing and the service was even better. Thank you for a top tier experience all around.

Loved this place. We Got the chicken which came with mashed potatoes, baby vegetables, and some sort of puree that was delicious. We also got the steak tartare as an app and filet mignon, loved the sauce that came over the mashed potatoes!

Everything was awesome. Service was exceptional and food was amazing.

Creative and exciting menu with strong options (including vegetarian options throughout the menu), do offer a price fix menu but we chose a la carte
