    Disappointing. Overpriced for what you get. The starters are embarrassing and there was no bread or anything for the table. The burger was halfway between a slider and a real burger and was $15. Eek.

    Food isn't anything to write home about and the lack of Alcohol doesn't make it any better. Get the fries.

    Last night we paid $50 on a $36 tab, and the waiter brought us no change. When asked, we were told that was policy, but no $ was given back.

    Service is terrible! Kitchen was ridiculously slow. Waitress was wholly disinterested in her job...

    Slow service. Way under cooked steak. Expensive. Hmmm.

    Als je ooit in Washington DC bent, dit is een uitstekend restaurant: vriendelijke bediening, leuke atmosfeer en een lekkere keuken tegen een normale prijs. Metro: Shaw Howard University.
