Derek HuetherSeptember 22, 2012I ordered the lunch special today. I ordered a rare "sushi grade" ahi tuna burger. It was crazy crazy good.
the most consistently good place in town. take the people you love here.
ann edmondsFebruary 13, 2011The surf and turf was excellent. The malbec was the perfect compliment. Dessert was passed as were too full!
Jasmine MichelleFebruary 2, 2018the food. i didn’t take a picture because i immediately started eating!
Leandro LageraMay 30, 2016This place is a staple in the neighborhood but I don't get it. I guess people like food that's comfortable. Great bar scene though.
Tom BarnettDecember 9, 2009I usually only go with the shrimp and grits with asparagus but tried the sea bass last night and it was delicious. Lobster bisque is always good, too.
Try the Squibknocket Eggs - Love these eggs. Don't let the name scare ya away!
The Tuna Salad is my favorite. Nice service at the bar.
Matt SmallAugust 23, 2014You can't beat the food or service, but good luck trying to find an available parking spot.
Only one four top that you can have a dog with. Call ahead!
ChristenJuly 25, 2010Any salmon dish is fantastic also try the white chocolate bread pudding. The shrimp and grits are also spectacular
Martini?Go somewhere else. It came 3/4 full & w/ 3 olives in up-glass. "Waiter please ask the bartender to add vodka to it. Manager came over with about 2 tablespoons in a shaker. No apology.
Order a drink from Micky, Tom or Tara... They're the best bartenders in the DC metro area!
Chuck BarnesDecember 7, 2010OUTSTANDING breakfast! French toast was the best I've EVER had. No exaggeration there.
Steve MinardOctober 9, 2010Try the crabcake eggs benedict... amazing! Dad loved the extra thick french toast. Great service here too.- The steak and eggs benedict for Sunday brunch is awesome!
Jenna BrownAugust 28, 2010Crab fritters and the filet mignon with the parmesan potatoes are absolutely terrific!
