    I feel like the only person in Washington who doesn't like this place. I can't have dairy, and all I could have here was stale nachos and a cocktail. Cafe feels completely removed from the books.

    Disgusting, expensive, and overrated! If you want good crab cakes for cheaper...do yourself and favor and walk a mile to Clyde's in Georgetown.
