    Service was good, our waiter was attentive. In general the food was not good, seemed hastily prepared, and excessively spicy to cover up bland/low quality ingredients

Really enjoyed the festive atmosphere and excellent food. Looking forward to returning again and again.

    Yet another restaurant imposing an extra service charge (this one attributed to the referendum in DC that requires restaurant owners to pay their staff a living wage).

    Well I didn’t like being in the second floor that much as it felt like a cafeteria but it was nice overall when you were walking down the stairs to leave as you could see everything next time im gonna have my girlfriend try something else apart from a small dish. Great place tho

    Our server was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and just great. We ordered an ice cream dish to go, which she was happy to accommodate, but the chef came out and let us know it wouldn’t be as good once we got home because the ice cream would melt. They asked us what else we might want, and we ended up getting the chocolate cake, which was delicious! Our experience was one of the best we’ve had in DC because their service was just so good. Will absolutely visit again.

    Good: food was uniformly REALLY delicious, with good portions. Really good. Service also good. Not as good: we were seated on the ground floor and it was quite dark. Too dark to read menus without phone flashlights. And that was at 6pm while there was still light coming in the windows. Also: the price: we had the delicious plate of appetizers for three, plus a kids hamburger, three beef tacos and three drinks and the bill was almost $200 including tip. And that included a 3% additional charge we was told “so we don’t have to raise the menu prices”. Think that one over: in order not to raise prices we are charging you more money”. Interesting.

    Beautiful space, with a nice big selection of foods. I like spicy, but found the green sauce way too hot for dipping chips. We loved our meal, but couldn't finish because the portions were heftier than we expected. The servers were attentive. The margaritas well-crafted and lovely.
