    One of the worst dining experiences. Service horrible. 40 min to take an order (including drink order). Another 45 min to receive food. The place was not busy on a Monday. Fish was just ok, I've had better for less $. It may be a great place for sushi, etc. We went for dinner. Overall a very frustrating birthday dinner.

    Excellent ambience, super fresh, tasty and served food. Our host-waiter Kris was excellent, very polite, and she has knew exactly what was on the menu, to explain the details. I have come here often and of course I will continue to come. The team at the front desk is excellently organized. All 5 stars to the new owner and Chef - Mr. Clime. Congratulations.

    It was wonderful for the most part. Service was slow and we have been here before for dinner but never for brunch. Dinner service is always seamless. Our server was also a bartender I believe. The bar was not busy at all. He was very slow, we would see him standing at the bar doing nothing. I kept looking for him and one of the kitchen staff noticed and had to get his attention for us. I was disappointed since we come here often, and never have a problem with speed of service. Everything is usually timed perfectly. We waited a long time after our appetizer for our main course, and the server for some reason came back and checked if he had my order right long after he had taken it originally the first time. It wasn’t even that busy, our server only had one or two other tables. There was no excuse for the slow service. Aside from that, everything else was great.

    Normally our place when we visit Northern Virginia. It did not live up to standard the night we visited. It was a busy Saturday night, where we prefer a week night, so this could explain. Our server was great. Professional, polite, great knowledge of the menu. No complaints there. Food just didn't measure up. Halibut and whole fish. Sauces were good. Whole fish was a little over for me. Halibut, also, a bit dry. Still a vibrant establishment in a bustling area. Good to see RTC doing so well.

    It was my parents Anniversary Dinner, and they went above and beyond. We have eaten here and already love the food and staff, but today was amazing. They printed the anniversary date out on the menus, and had one wrapped up specially in a ribbon for my mom and dad. They felt so special and loved the experience and the food!
