Colette SaylesJanuary 2, 2014I was going to say the filet mignon special was amazing and a must have...and then I had the shrimp and polenta....soooo good, one of the best things I've eaten in awhile. Skip the mac and cheese
The "Pearfect Martini" (Grey Goose Pear , Orchard Pear Cordial, St. Germaine, Champagne) was beautifully crafted. Very light + delicious. Highly recommend. Great DJs, too. Loved the old skool hip-hop.
Becca McSweeneyJuly 21, 2013There is a great amazon local deal going on right now for this place. We loved every dish we tried. Especially like how vegan & gluten free friendly they are
Shikha BhatnagarAugust 29, 2012Pretty good brunch, but found the dark lounge decor & cramped booths not so appealing on a sunny Sunday morning. French toast benedict was delish, but may require an extra 2 hrs at gym afterwards!
Raj S.April 3, 2011This place is incredible. Get the Thai shrimp, hangar steak, tuna tartare. Get the rum old fashioned to compliment it. Then head upstairs for some dancing. One of my favorite spots in DC.
Dara FisherDecember 26, 2012Yes, the DJs here change the music every thirty seconds, but it's a fun place to go dancing with a great, graffiti-y vibe.
Miriam WolkDecember 9, 2010Amazing waitstaff - very knowledgeable about the menu. Get the sweet potato gnocchi, beets and chocolate waffle if any of these three dishes are on the menu when you dine there.
Katherine Kennedy AllenJanuary 4, 2014Brussels sprouts! One of the few places on 14th you can usually sneak into on a weekend evening
DC VegetarianJuly 27, 2013Truffle fries at happy hour are pretty good. Sadly neither the lentils nor the green beans are vegetarian, and the black bean hummus is disappointing.
Great DJ on Fri. & Sat. Nights upstairs but get in the door before 11pm to make it worth it. Otherwise wait gets loooong.
Mike CarterOctober 12, 2010Try the Mission Fig Salad, the duck confit, and the sweet potato gnocchi....also the Moscow Mule and Hemingway Daquiri rocked! My wife loved the Cosmo-policy!
Alicia H.October 30, 2013Quaint lounge right off of U St. The happy hour specials are decent and the drinks pack a punch.
Tanner SMarch 16, 2013Be sure to check out the dance floor upstairs after dinner. Awesome DJ's and awesome vibe!
Elizabeth BennettApril 21, 2013Perfect brunch portions. Get the short rib hash and truffle grits as a side.
Sweet happy hour (especially the one that runs all night on Mondays) and an awesome staff!

Leigh J HJanuary 8, 2012Ryan is the best server ever. Seriously. Don't even let anyone else serve you, as you will not get the experience you deserve.
Just WhitkinJuly 7, 2013Bottle service is worth it. No tanks, cut off tees, or sandals - damn shame. Fun playlist on weekends.
Darlene PowellJune 3, 2012Try the Asiago And Truffle Grits - Mmmmmmm. Perfect companion for the Mussels!!
Chef Brian's brunch is spectacular, definitely order the beignets and have a Bloody Mary!
Come in on Wednesday nights and 7:00pm for District Karaoke - D.C.'s only social, team-based karaoke league.
Alex GOctober 27, 2013This place is so much fun! The 90's and 2000's music wasn't really doing it for me though.
Kerri is the best bartender in DC, possibly on the planet. Shower her with tips please!
BravoNovember 29, 2010Great energy, innovative cocktails, great place to unwind. -Tamesha Warren, Top Chef- $5 small plates happy hour lasts until 8 pm. Menu items vary by season. Truffle fries for the win.
1/2 price bottles of wine in Wednesday nights downstairs.
Sherrie BakshiMay 17, 2010Love love love this place. Great scene, fabulous food and delicious cosmos!
