We had a fantastic business lunch. Our server had a really good sense of when to stop by and ask us if we want to order drinks... when we want to order our dishes, etc. It is quite a gift. You don't want to feel like you're interrupting an important conversation. But you also don't want your guests sitting there asking - when is this guy going to take our order?!?! It was a perfect lunch at the best restaurant in Washington. Thanks to all who made it very special!

We came at the end of the night right before the kitchen closed. They seated us quickly and the service was great. It wasn’t a lot of people in there so it was rather quiet. The food and drinks were great too!
