    The wine selection is the best I have seen in DC. A wide selection of cult Napa Valley wines that are worth the splurge. The food is excellent and the environment welcoming and elegant. We will go back.

    The food was absolutely mediocre. Nothing about the menu was interesting. The quality of the food was poor. The price for it was very high considering. I genuinely don’t know how this has a 4.8 rating. The avocado toast (how hard is avocado toast?!) was soggy and a mushy brown gloop that was over sauced on the soggy toast. The egg white was not fully cooked (failing a basic fried egg?) The pancakes were not fully cooked. The portions were tiny and even my not very discerning 15 year old said their fried chicken was dry and boring. Please ignore the other ratings this place was worse than eating at silver diner.
