    Our server Noah was fantastic. Food is always great. First time we’ve done bottomless meal and we lost count at 18 dishes.

    My party of 4 enjoyed a relaxing brunch. I suggest the waffle station, cucumbers, black bean hummus and empanadas.

    Food was good, service was slow - mind you NOT our server, but the food delivery, some food had to be requested twice and there was at least one item we never received. LOVE that you brought back the bottomless dinner - MUCH BETTER than only 4 dishes allowed (that's not enough food). Also, why were the lights dimmed at 6:30? on Father's Day? This is not a date night, it's Father's Day. We enjoyed our evening and will be back. LOVED the butter chicken tikka masala and the sesame steak skewers.

    Love the variety of the menu -- and if you are really hungry and love to try a bunch of different national cuisines, highly recommend the endless little plate option for either lunch or dinner. Among the standouts: the Brussel sprouts (I know, seems odd, but they do a great job with them here), the Tuna Crudo, and the Mexican Street Corn pizza. Food comes out as it is available -- NOT when everything that is ordered is ready. Servers have electronic menu ordering system, so you can add on anything any time. Food is clearly prepped as ordered - everything comes out at the right temperature. Parking is free and easy in multiple garages around Shirlington. Its a great 90-minute dinner option before the start of a show at the Signature Theater (one-block walk away).

    The tapas we ate were generally excellent, except the Ceasar salad was nothing special. But thy the jerk chicken, Brussel sprouts, cucumber and monkey bread! The tables in the bar area are pretty noisy and hectic- not the place for a quiet meal. Service was very pleasant, although kitchen was slow on Sunday for certain items. Overall a good place to eat and a decent value if you go with the "bottomless" menu!
