This place is wonderful! Food and service excellent! A great gem to have in NE DC to avoid having to go downtown DC! If you go request “Mo” as your server!

Exactly as promised — solid meal, great cocktails, nice and efficient service and a really cute ambiance. Despite doing cocktails, the Caesar salad, steak tartare, fries, seafood platter, dessert, coffee, and about 3 glasses of wine apiece — we weren’t rushed! And they also brought out a little birthday candle. We sat in one of the round corner tables and they’ve really figured out how to optimize space without making uncomfortable spots. Worth the hype!

Went for brunch and I could see this place rivaling Le Dip for French brunch in the city. The atmosphere very much mimics a Parisian cafe and the range of course pricing allows for a range of budgets. The staff was attentive and didn't at all bat an eye that we had to bring in a stroller. Food was delicious and portions were generous. Can't wait to come again!

Great experience! We waited 30 minutes for our table (yes I had a reservation), though they treated us with some champagne which made up for it for sure. Calamari and the Caesar salad were amazing no notes. The scallops I had were to die for. The chocolate mousse was so good but didn’t through me off my seat. I will definitely will be going back.

We had an outstanding dinner here. The food and drinks were great, but the service is really what stood out. Eskinder was our waiter and took such great care of us. He was truly a pro and made our evening special.

Had a lovely evening & first off going to give a shout to my server, Danielle! Now a days you go out and food and atmosphere are great and servers are just ok but Danielle was awesome. Super sweet, great personality, knowledgeable about the menu & attentive! Food & atmosphere were delightful! Came in for an early dinner and never felt rushed through our odd ordering style which is appreciated. The food was AMAZING! I enjoyed my favorite steak tartare & mussels/fries. Such a great place!

Great ambiance and food - loved it. The Chicken Kiev was good with nicely oozing garlic butter over the smooth potatoes and so was the Branzino. The latter was nicely filled and tasted fresh. The red French wine from France was a great complement.

I came here for lunch and we shared an order of oysters, steak sandwich, chicken paillard and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The food was excellent! The chicken was well seasoned, the oysters were fresh, and the steak sandwich was great. The sticky toffee pudding was excellent, even better than HK! The portion sizes are large making the food good for sharing. The restaurant is a bit loud for intimate conversations. Our server was very attentive and friendly. After tips we ended up paying $40 per person and walked away pretty full (no drinks).

Amazing interior deco and nice vibes for a weekend brunch rendezvous with friends. I made a reservation for outdoor patio but decided otherwise as it was more than 95 degrees outside. There were many tables indoor so we got seated promptly. The coffee has free refill but the food took some time to come. The crepe was delicious and I'm so glad that we got half of the French toast as two of them ($17) would be too big for one person. We split all the food we ordered and it's the right portion size for a couple.

It's the next day and I'm still dreaming about this Caesar salad. I get it you read that and said a salad is what she's excited about. But you have to taste it to understand it was literal perfection. I make my own dressing at home but I would love to get in that kitchen and learn the dressing recipe that they use ! The calamari wasn't amazing for me but it wasn't terrible. The bolognese was to dieee for it was literally perfect. We came in 10 min before closing and they were still willing to serve us and make us whatever we asked for which was so kind because they could have rejected us. The resturant was also soo beautiful and clean I can't wait to go back tomorrow !
