    Absolutely wonderful. The Branzino was outstanding, but the truffle and chicken potstickers might be my new favorite! Service was great at both the bar and at the table. Will definitely come back on our next trip to DC.

    Saron and her support team took good care of me. I was happy to see my favorite rose champagne on the menu. I sat outside to enjoy the water view and ordered from the Arena Stage menu. Try the crispy cauliflower!

    We had a great experience. Food was great. Had wonton soup, Kung Po, Filet with green beans, crispy beef, and fried rice. Julio was our waiter and was on point! Funny and very attentive. He made the night for us.

    Fantastic food, generous portion sizes. On the expensive side but it’s such good quality that it is justified. Brilliant service by Julio and the general manager (George). Would highly recommend and will be visiting again when we return! Thanks.
