Went here for dinner w family and friends. The place isn’t that large it seems like the tables are really close together making it a bit hard for servers to get by and customers too. The service was good and the food/drinks were good. It’s definitely a bar atmosphere and is loud if there is a crowd in there. Be prepared to speak up.

Mussels were AMAZING, one serving on the starter menu could be a main. Also had one MD crab cake and it was good, but a bit messy after cutting into it. The Barrel Aged Old Fashioned was disappointing. Too chocolatey and the cherry garnish was missing (maraschino is NEVER an acceptable substitute in an Old Fashioned). Other than that, really good place for a hotel restaurant.

We went last night and a really bad experience (except for the friends we were meeting). I was excited because I don’t usually get to the city for dinner. Chose this restaurant because of the photos and menu. Both were appealing. Started off with a cocktail, dirty martini, which was very good but I noticed a gnat in the drink and of course sent it back. I got a replacement in a timely manner with an upgraded vodka – but it really didn’t matter to me. We ordered “lemon drop martinis” for our guests and they came to us pink in color. Okay they were the happy hour special a hibiscus lemon drop which wasn’t bad but I think I should have been told they weren’t lemon drops. Food started and while my steak was underwhelming it was okay but the fries were cold. Like not even warm, cold. Sent those back and they didn’t return for 25 minutes. Obviously the steak was gone. We did receive a wonderful peach liquor “shot” as an apology. Then we ordered desert and I ordered coffee. They didn’t have any. Huh? Finally, and everyone is free to smoke or not smoke as their personal habits decide, but our waiter had a strong stale smoke odor that really wasn’t pleasant. I won’t go back. Too many options in DC. I hope everyone else has a great experience. It may have just been an odd night.

While the food was good and the staff was friendly, the speed of service needs to take A LOT OF lessons from a good Mexican restaurant. I was there on a Friday night, so I will give management the benefit of the doubt that they got caught short-handed for service staff on busy night.

Upcharging service. Went in during happy hour and ordered some drinks. They handed us a bill for full price beverages saying that they just assumed we wanted top-shelf liquor instead because we didn’t specify we wanted happy hour drinks… taste was indistinguishable from normal alcohol for that price.

Service was ok. A little slow but it wasn’t to bad. Got annoyed they ran out of the desert my wife was wanting and told us about it 20 minutes later. The food made up for it, the replacement desert was good and the drink was good. Not bad if you’re staying at the hotel it’s attached to. I wouldn’t go out of my way if I wasn’t a guests here.

Food was surpassingly good after having to ask someone to check on it. There were 6 guests at the bar. 2 other tables of 2.

Just finished a trip to DC and ended up in the hotel bar every night, as usual. Said was an amazing bartender, remembers what you’re drinking, and the service and food overall was fantastic. If we stay here or nearby again, I will be back!

Well, its a place to eat. The food isn’t bad. Stayed in the hotel for a 4 days and ate here two times. CHECK YOUR RECIEPT. The first night 20% was added automatically for 2 people. The next night it wasn’t added. They served a bourbon on the rocks and I noticed a cherry stem in the bottom of the glass. BUT it never came with a cherry, so I got someone else’s cherry stem. Overall…. MEH.
