Amazing food and the portions are huge!! Happy hour is crazy good because appetizers are half off and they are massive!! Could eat an appetizer as a meal. I had their PBnJ Burger because I was always intrigued by that concoction and I can’t say it was the best, just different. The tuna poke nachos, sweet and spicy shrimp and tavern pizzas are incredibly good!! Highly recommend this spot especially during happy hours the vibes are great and the service was too!

Initially made a reservation for the patio on Mother’s Day. However, only seats available at the time we arrived were in the sun and a few people in our party cannot be in the direct sun due to medication. Thankfully, there was some space available inside to accommodate our large party. A few of us got the bottomless mimosas which were very tasty. A bit more of OJ than we would have normally done for ourselves, but it was probably to our benefit as to not drink too much. Everyone pretty much got different dishes and all loved their meal. All bursting with flavor and also reasonably priced. I specifically ordered from the “small plates” section instead of ordering a meal in the hopes of receiving a small appetizer. That was not the case! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos and it’s definitely meant to be a shareable dish. We finished off with the crème brûlée that was delicious. Overall, the atmosphere was good, service was great, food was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back again!

Madison was so amazing. This is the best service I’ve ever had here. She was incredibly attentive and fun. The burger was delicious with greens that cooled me off. The beer selection is great. We had such a nice time. I will definitely be coming back and I hope I get Madison as my server again. Love her!

Simple work outing with my colleagues, but absolutely nothing simple about the flavors delivered in every dish. I’m quite hesitant to eat out because I need to taste the love in my food and I can confidently say they love what they’re cooking up. Enjoying all the flavors of the smaller items I failed to capture a picture of any of our main dishes and I especially recommend the Croque Madame.

Really good place to go with friends on a Sunday morning. My girls and I enjoyed the brunch menu that also included bloody Mary’s and other drinks. It was really really good portion sizes and fresh! Menu is very wide range and lots of TVs and bar space , Definitely going back!

The food and service is always good. This time around howeverwasn't our luck. I ordered the Santa Fe Salad, it was ok, the dressing lacked flavor. My husband ordered the fried Korean chicken plate I believe it was called. He stated his dish was also "OK and lacked flavor". We have been here a few time and we know not all dishes lacked flavor or seasoning. Maybe it was just an off night. The beignets never fail though, which is the main reason we always come. They are soft and chewy. This time around we also ordered a slice of the banana pie. It was also delicious, it reminded me of a flan the way the bananas and sauce was caramelized. Still leaving 4 stars because their food and service is usually good.

I came on a Sunday morning for breakfast and ordered the Eggs Benedict. I was impressed that the food was brought to the table so quickly that it arrived before the coffee. The food was tasty but maybe slightly on the salty side. I liked that it came on a bed of a potato patty. I wish it came with meat like a typical Benedict. I really like the atmosphere of this place. It's not the first time I've eaten here. This restaurant is a great addition to the revitalization of R street.
