    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.

    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.
