Rachel ClarkJune 24, 2018V accommodating to vegetarians! Incredible food & refreshingly unpretentious for a Michelin-starred place. Amazing service, too—left my purse behind like a moron & my server literally ran after me. 🙏

AmateurConciergeJune 7, 2018One of my favorite spots in DC. Excellent service, cheese course, salad and fish were all excellent. If u see a “for 2” dish that you want to go solo on, ask and they may hook u up!Upvote2Downvote
Eda HorjetiDecember 17, 2023Had delicious dinners in DC in several restaurants, such as 2Amy Neapolitan Pizzeria; Martha Dear; Le diplomat. Great places but I prefer to select one of my favorites Tail Up Goat! A bit expensive!

Lucia TheresaJanuary 20, 2017Everything we had was fabulous! We started with the rabbit sausage, then had the potato ravioli with cabbage, and finished with the lamb rib to share. The service was impeccable and cocktails on pointUpvoteDownvote- TanishaMay 27, 2016crispy salt cod, grilled rabbit sausage, brown rice bread, lamb ribs, cannolis and 'out of the lodges shadow' were all yummy! we thought the cavatelli was ok, but a delightful dinner nonetheless.UpvoteDownvote
Lindsay D.September 9, 2017The service is phenomenal. Try to order a good variety from the menu to get the full experience. The brown rice bread, rabbit sausage, pastas and lamb ribs are incredible!UpvoteDownvote
Gregory FisherApril 21, 2019Breads and pastas! Get them all! The goat cheese ravioli was only outdone by both the focaccia (w/ meatballs) seaweed sourdough, which, thankfully, imo, doesn’t taste like I expected seaweed to tasteUpvoteDownvote
Julie EschbacherSeptember 22, 2019Menu rotates daily, but if you're lucky to see these get them: zucchini bread, scallops with chili oil, and the corn + taleggio ravioliUpvoteDownvote
Tim CummingsJanuary 13, 2018Salted cod! The portions at the bottom of the menu are pretty big so ask for the 1-person serving if you want to try a few different things. Don’t skip the housemade bread.UpvoteDownvote
Diana BrodyMarch 26, 2017So lovely. Everything here was delightful- sweet, warm, welcoming staff, beautiful, cozy space, unique, tasty wine, and fabulous food.UpvoteDownvote- Stephanie HellermanJuly 24, 2016Brown rice bread and a glass of dry white wine would make a perfect summer meal. However, as long as you're there go ahead and get the delicious roast chicken.UpvoteDownvote
