- Washington PostAugust 1, 2014The chef's venison is some of the best: Deep red and robust, and it's flattered by a sauce of grappa and blueberries that imparts a pleasant dusky-fruity note to the entree. Read more

- Mark HamrickJune 10, 2016Great location in the power neighborhood of DC. Outdoor/sidewalk option is lovely if weather cooperates. Service/food = top notch. Pricey
- ThrillistMay 10, 2010Every Wednesday at 5pm during the Spring/Summer they'll be grilling up grub like Bison Burgers & NY Strip from a massive patio-side grill. Far better than your portable hibachi.

- Adam BuckSeptember 14, 2018The food was down right bad. I sent back the crab bisque, it was a thin gruel. My fathers steak was completely undercooked. My mother’s salad had no flavor; it was basically just lettuce.
- Eshrat WarisNovember 15, 2013Talk to the bartenders and get a cocktail off the menu. They are to die for!
- Have Millian wait on you. The best server there. Great personality and very knowledgeable of the menu

- MR FathieJuly 25, 2014Mediocre service, overpriced special with a mandatory 20% tip even for a table of 2.Add'l tip is also expected. Overall not worth the price.2 meals, one with salad & the other w/soup and 2 beers:$180.

- Ellen S. P.April 13, 2019The bloody Marys are not worth the cost. They taste like they're from a generic mix.
- Jessica SchmelzerOctober 17, 2010Some of the worst service I have EVER experienced at the outside cafe. Good thing the food was pretty good.
