    Had a great pre-flight last dinner in DC and everything was delicious! We were lucky enough to eat during happy hour where we had great deals on our drinks and noticed different happy hour offerings were available each night of the week. Wings, Birria egg rolls, and beef bulgogi all came out exceptionally fast and each a hit at our table.

    Great food for 6 out of 7. One burger was more raw than medium but my son was too young to tell us until too late. Wish the tables were not so wobbly.

    The staff was very accommodating and friendly. There was a little confusion over Meal distribution, but it all worked out and the food was very good. A very elegant and nice sports bar.

    Ordered the fish and chips and it was horrible. Had a bitter taste like the fish was bad. I have had beer battered fish and chips. This was not it. The manager was very nice. Service was subpar due to inadequate staffing. Would not return.

    Chicken sandwich was tough. Expensive. Server was trying hard, but overloaded, making drinks and trying to serve nearly every table. Would not return. Poor value.

    It's been quite a long time since I can say that the entire staff was committed to excellent service. Proper 21 has this figured out! The food was ok but the service was a standout, from everyone!
