   Delicious and great service. A little noisy for my parents, but…they’re old. 😂

   After an hour of waiting for our food it was served cold. This place may be an option if you’re thirsty. The carafe of water and ordered beverages were available as soon as everyone were seated. But little did anyone know their food would not arrive until over an hour later. I understand some establishments are short staffed. It’s the main reason I made reservations for the exact time they were scheduled to open. My issue is if there was an issue, we were never informed. I would have rather just left than wait that long for cold food.

   Great for both business and casual lunch meetings. Good burgers, chicken sandwich and southwest chicken salad.

   The staff at Proper 21 could not have been more accommodating. We were a large party and the weekend was busy - graduation weekend. Our party was even larger than expected and half of us were very late. The staff could not have been nicer. The food was terrific and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!

   The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was well-prepared and reasonably priced. My only complaint was that it was way too loud most of the time. We literally had to shout our orders at our servers and they still struggled to hear us over the noise. I think the worst part about the noise was that it was mostly from people's voices echoing off walls and ceiling and even drowning out the live music. There are so many attractive ways to dampen sound in a space like that and I would strongly encourage the restaurant to employ some of them.

    The problem with this place is the noise level. Music is too loud. Almost impossible to hear table mates. But the service was very good and my meal was excellent.

    Service was terrible. A waiter picked up a menu off the floor and handed it to us. We waited over 20 minutes just to order drinks. The table behind us had out of control children literally broke a glass and dropped chairs. Worst experience

    The patio seating was awesome on a beautiful day in DC. Food was pretty good. Service was a little slow but the server was pretty busy and attentive so not knocking him. He just had too many tables. Overall I'd go back and recommend the place.

    The food was tasty, well prepared, and the portion was good. The ambience was very nice but loud. However, like most restaurants, they seem short-staffed. The service and wait staff seemed like they were running in too many directions and stressed out.

    The food was ok but just typical bar fare. My friends potatoes were undercooked and inedible. Service was incredibly slow. I know it’s tough to find staff but this was awful. Place was mostly empty but a drunk sitting near us fell off his stool and knocked himself out. This place is classy.

    Not impressed with the F Street restaurant. My first impression of the hostess was not welcoming or friendly. Service was slow - I expect the waiter to bring basic things to my table without me having to ask - like straws for our beverages and water, geez! Who drinks from a glass in a public restaurant without a straw? I had to ask for an extra napkin. My cloth napkin was soiled and no paper napkins were on our table. Speaking of tables, The TABLES ARE TOO SMALL !! - my goodness. Was not impressed with the food. We will not go back to this restaurant again. If the restaurant hires young staff, insure they are trained and want to service the public and are customer-service friendly.

    The food was awesome and the ambiance was nice ! The server wasn’t really friendly . She didn’t tell us her name and she seemed annoyed most times we asked for something. We told her we were celebrating a birthday and she made no attempt to do anything special such as a dessert or sing a song . If she would’ve acknowledged the birthday and been more personable her too would’ve reflected that . I would definitely go back but if I had the same server I would just request a new one .
