    Go upstairs, drink the happy hour Stella for 3 bucks, and watch all the people run for their trains...

    Tried the Wings based on Anup G's comment. BIG mistake. Only $4 at happy hour, but they taste and smell seriously SAD. If they represent the menu, I concur with the majority. DON'T EAT THE FOOD

    There is no real reason to go here unless you are waiting on a train. That said, I had the Spicy Chicken Quesadilla which was quite nice.

    Mahmoud is one of the best bartenders in DC. I wouldn't eat here, but drink away.

    It was just ok. We needed a table for 5 & this was the easy thing to do. One out of 5 at our table was happy w their food. But it sufficed.

    Do not get food here. From appetizers to entrees, we did not have a single dish that was good. Nothing was prepared well and seemed like just heated frozen food.

    Drink only, this place does not warrant the runs you will get or the roaches you will see after you take that first bite....

    Terrible wine list. Stick to beers. Just saying.... Don't drink here if looking for good wine. And from what other reviewers are saying, don't eat here either! So basically, don't come here!!

    So the reviews on the food are bad but I'll say the roasted wings are quite good.

    Because bar. I don't care if the word cafe is in the name. Also, stick to drinking bottled beer - everything else is suspect at best.

    Do not get the crab quesadilla. While it sounds like it might be good...it is not.

    The food ranges from mediocre to bad. The shrimp cocktail was literally 6 tasteless shrimp unceremoniously dumped on a plate with cole slaw. I don't recommend.
