Don't listen to the one star reviews. Was it perfect? No. But it was good food, reasonable quality service and the price point was not bad. If your expecting the kind of service and food you get at a $80 plate restaurant, you'll be disappointed. But if your looking for a reasonably priced and just good food, go here.

Dinner not tasteful at all. Ordered blacken rockfish. I eat rockfish each week and the fish did not taste like rockfish at all. The steak was chewy and fatty. We did not finish our meals Dessert was very good. Service from the waitress was top notch. Professional and awesome. Food needs much improvement. Sorry

The food was pretty good- the waited made sure changes were made to accommodate my picky mother. The only uncomfortable thing was the aggressiveness of the waiter (when he was present). I was having dinner with my parents for Father’s Day and english is their second language/ normally I will order for her or my father will. When we went to speak, the waiter basically shushed us and said “ladies first” - putting her on the spot like that was awkward- and as grown people- no one should be shushing me - especially when I’m the guest/client. It’s 2022 and faux chivalry is not cute. A lot of the time the waited just wasn’t present - we had to ask for him several times. Besides that everything was great. My very picky mom enjoyed her meal.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. The worst service and the most errors I have ever experienced. On top of huge delays, order errors and a lack of follow through, the air conditioning was out in the restaurant and the women's bathroom was out of soap. Great for staff…. I have no words….

Food was good. Waitress was very nice but not the best: spilled my wine, poured beer away from the table and brought it with a 4 inch head of foam and coffee was lukewarm at best.

Food was overall good. Restaurant was empty but service was inexplicably lax. Server never asked if we wanted a 2nd glass of wine nor refilled our after-dinner coffee. He forgot our side vegetable order and we had to flag him down. My fish was supposed to have a red pepper sauce with bacon. I asked for it without bacon so it came without it plus without the red pepper sauce. Disappointing.

I made this reservation to take my grandma out to eat for Mother’s Day, as well as my mom. My grandma is visiting from El Salvador and I wanted to do something special before she left.

We visited M&S on K for Mother’s Day dinner and had a lovely time. We made reservations in advance and not only were they friendly and accommodating with us running a few minutes behind, but as were also given a private dining area which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent. Very attentive and quick. Most importantly, the food was great and did not disappoint anyone at the table. We all emptied our plates. The drinks were also great. Try any of their non-alcoholic lemonades from their extensive drink menu. If you are into adult beverages, their Margarita is excellent. Not too strong, not watered down. Highly recommend this restaurant. We plan on becoming regulars for sure.

Service was very slow and food was lukewarm/average. Calamari was not fresh and came lukewarm twice. Cheesecake didn’t taste like cheesecake. Crystal City Va location food & service is far better. I will not be returning to DC location and parking is horrible. Very dissatisfied Mother’s Day!

The Restaurant was closed when we arrived. People inside unlocked the doors, they saw us outside I did not bother to let us know the door was open. The hostes receiving us was rude to be honest. Seems to me they did not want to open the place or even attend us. I took a client there claiming it was a great place however I am not returning, Let me know any questions Fernando Duclaud.

Went here for lunch with 4 co-workers. Overall it was ok. We had a very nice private dining booth that was elegant and quiet. The service was good and attentive even with the challenge of a very deep booth. The thoughts on the food were mixed. I didn't care for my fish and chips that much, but others liked the crab cakes and stuffed salmon. The clam chowder was very thick with lots of clams, but the flavor was a bit strange to me. For me, the food could have been just a step better than it was. So, I found our visit ok. If someone wanted to go again I would, but I'm not hankering to go back either.

My first time here and I loved it! It was a friends 35th birthday, they gave the 5 of us a private booth, that we could close the curtain for more privacy if needed. Bella our sever was amazing from start to finish. I will definitely be back!

The restaurant was quite empty at 5pm. Our waiter was nice but was absent, esp. to take the order after serving drinks. We had a party of 3. 2 of us did not like the meal. I am gluten free and I was given the wrong order. I thought I was getting a meal that was Gluten Free, just broiled swordfish, but on their (limited) menu, there was a signature swordfish dish topped with (extremely salty) crab with a sauce. The sauce had gluten. I sent the dish back and mentioned to the waiter, this wasn't what I ordered. It came back with the sauce/crab scraped off and crab with no sauce put on top. I could not eat the crab as it was too salty. The swordfish plain, was not fresh, and not nicely broiled. I ate the vegetable and a few bites of the fish and that was it. About 30 minutes later, I started to get an allergy reaction to gluten being in the fish. I was sick the rest of the evening and the next day.

We were the table no one wanted. Arrived for reservation a little earlier but were immediately seated. We sat for 20 minutes before we saw a server. Manager noticed we were neglected and the service seemed like it was going to improve but it only lasted 5 minutes. We had 2 different servers and the both abandoned our table. They brought our appetizer before we received our drink orders and no one had filled our waters. Had a party of 4, the bill was $165, and no one liked their meals. We ate everything because we had skipped lunch that day while sightseeing. I would not recommend. The manager saw there was an issue and should have stopped by our table to check on us.
