    Station 4 was great! The French toast and juevos rancheros were amazing. I heard decent things about the chicken and waffles. The drinks were steadily flowing and the service was great. Thanks MK!

    Good sized portions and all-in-all the food and wine was good. But … There weren’t many guests but it still took a while for someone to acknowledge my party - but this was a Sunday night sitting. I was asked how I wanted my burger. I said medium. It came out well done. Overpoured on the wine. Not much truffle on the truffle fries.

    Food was THE BEST; had the SALMON. Recommended. Waitstaff was attentive, low noise level, great atmosphere. The only downside to the experience was parking garages closing at 7pm which was not their fault. Very enjoyable, guarantee to go back!

    The service was terrible, we were seated and it took at least 20 minutes for the waiter to come over. The drink refills were slow paid for bottomless mimosas and that was even slow.

    Hubby found this place by chance on line when we were looking for somewhere to eat!! We had the share steak for $150, with sides and dessert and it was probably the best we have ever eaten, truly amazing. We are from Australia but would come back again when in town.

    The food was good and the service was attentive. The descriptions on the menu and the food presented did not match up. For instance, two people at our table ordered a salad with grapes and apples with kale, then they added salmon. The food was good and each of the salmon was cooked per request except it was served on romaine. We thought they accidentally brought Ceasar salads with a salmon topping and we had to ask for the quinoa and other items. Ultimately, if you dug around in the romaine, there was an apple slice and a grape in the salad. There may have been a discreet amount of quinoa but with the lighting the group thought everything was the parmesan. I would recommend the restaurant, but only as an alternative to some of the restaurants closer to Nationals Park.

    service was horrible had reservations for 1:30pm waiter never came to the table until I went to the host desk at 2:30 and asked about him. He came over only after I asked was He going to take our order. He was serving another table beside me and I got his attention. He stated that He would be right back I waited another thirty minutes. I asked for the manager but He was no where to be found. The host suggested that I just call later on. I will not be going there any more.

    The service was excellent. Our server was very kind and offered suggestions. The ribeye was 1/3 inedible with a lot of gristle. The “crispy Brussel sprouts were tasty but zero crisp or crunchy leaves. My fish and chips was delicious. My son got a roasted chicken that was very juicy and flavorful. We did have to ask for drinks other than water. We weren’t asked.

    The food and atmosphere was nice for a Sunday dinner however the server was horrible. His name was Mohammad and he clearly didn’t want to be there. He made all four of feel like he was ready for us to leave the moment we got there. He barely checked on the table. He rushed us through appetizers to order our meal, than brought the check and the 20% gratuity was already included. So we understood why he made absolutely no effort to make us feel welcomed because he knew he already got his tip. After we paid, he came back to the table and grabbed the receipts immediately. Granted, the restaurant was almost empty so it wasn’t like he was busy with other tables. Horrible, unprofessional and slack server.

    The food here was absolutely amazing. My entire party enjoyed their brunch items off the menu. Our waiter made sure we were taken care of with the bottomless mimosas. I loved that I was able to bring my cake and they refrigerated it. Overall, we had a great time & I will be back.

    The food was not worth the value at all, salmon had absolutely no seasoning the imitation crab that was plopped in it was even worse. Did I mention they left the skin on the salmon?? Brussel Spouts extraaaa crispy, like they were chicken wings, oh and the chicken wings was legit 8 for $22 a MESSSS! The Steak didn’t have any flavor at all, they sprinkled some parsley for a little razzle dazzle and it didn’t make it any better! Chileeeee stay clear my food came out over cooked the manager never came by to ask what could be done differently he sat back drinking out his coffee mug like he was was busy. There was more tables open than people that was a tell tell sign in itself! Ohhh for two people salmon, steak, two cocktails $200 gtfoooooo this was not a $200 meal! I pay for amazing quality food always and this is a disgrace

    It was absolutely terrible. I am not one to leave bad reviews but this one really got to especially because it was an anniversary celebration. My reservation was for 1pm. At 12:50 I arrived but was trying to find a parking spot so I called to let them know I should be there in in 10 minutes, in time for my reservation even though they had a 10 minute grace period. No one picked up. I kept calling and it went straight to voicemail. I entered the restaurant at exactly 1:03 and saw that the phone was placed upside down intentionally to ignore calls. I specified in my reservation that it was an anniversary and would want to sit by the window, the lady sent us to the bar. Later, we were seated at a table for two and our server, Jasmine, took our orders. Our table was wet and messy and was never cleaned. Let’s just say, this server was terrible, slow and very very forgetful. We sat 15mins before getting our drinks, and after getting our food we sat an extra 10 mins before getting cutlery. The waffles were extremely dry and the steak was not well seasoned and dry as well. It’s so unfortunate that this was the experience for us especially on an important day like this. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone else.

    I loved the $45 special but the option for the brunch entree were limited. I feel like if they let you get whatever you want with the special it would be better. I see it’s more of lunch/dinner spot than brunch because of the ambience , but i also went in on 4th of July so maybe it’s better in a normal brunch day. The expletive was good though just to chill with my friends that also attended.
