    We had the sliders, baby back ribs, stir fry wings and fries. Everything was amazing. The vibe inside was super cool. They have a bar upstairs as well. This will be one of our usual spots.

    Ok- get HUGO as your waiter (he knows his stuff and has the best "bedside" manner I've seen in YEARS)! Rarely I have truly enjoyed my experience and it's one of my new regular spots

    Scallops were excellent. Butter chicken was great, but warning: the portion is huge! P.E.I. mussels were also great with the garlic crostini being fantastically soft, fresh, and garlicky.

    Great happy hour, great bartenders and an awesome selection of hard liquor and local beers on tap. The food is pretty good too! Not a huge fan of the cheese platter though.

    When in doubt, go with the braised ribs, tuna tartar and lamb chops. Don't forget the bourbon bread pudding!!! Nice people, great service, and a great place!

    The H Street location makes this the perfect restaurant to start off your night—or come for dinner and stay on for drinks. The bar buzzes all evening night long.

    Best spot in the house are the two seats on the second floor near the huge plate glad window. Great for people watching.

    Monday has all night HH $5 draught beers minus the dog fish. My man khalil on the 2nd floor is one of the best bartenders you'll find in the city.

    Atmosphere and servers are very nice. I'd come again for a nice place to have drinks and hang out but not for brunch.

    A bright and open environment as opposed to the many dark and close places on H St., not that I mind that all the time.

    Capital Bites liked the wood-grilled tiger prawns. She says, "the “dressing” was good enough to ask for extra bread to absorb the remaining juices on the plate." Read more

    The turducken, although a bit different than what you'd expect, is excellent and a must try!

    Epic experience here. Sit at the bar and revel in the cocktail menu; custom infusions, eccentric syrups, best mixologist ever.

    Avoid the cocktails made with bourbon: they use Jim Beam White Label - which is WAY to cheap a bourbon to use in cocktails at the prices they charge here!

    Check out the bartender, Evan, on the first floor. His name is "Beast" but that's mr. Beast to you!

    Meh food, that's not overly priced but the obsessive highlighting of the sous viede preparation makes me think the kitchen thinks this technique is somehow new.
