  Yesterday night I had dinner with two friends at your place. We also ordered two of your ECO FRIENDLY PORK SCHNITZEL, roasted carrots and smashed fingerling potatoes. Surprisingly the schnitzels (tough meat, by the way) were served with potatoes salad (cold), nothing like the menu description. When I told the waiter this is not like in the menu he wasn’t happy about my comment, and hurried to show me the menu, hinting I was wrong. No apologies, no nothing. Ironically, he offered to bring me the carrots. If I’d be the manager, I’d fire the cook, even I can make better schnitzel, seasoned and tender. The waiter didn’t know how to fix it. I definitely enjoyed your place before it changed the name. Not anymore.

  Best service I have ever had at a restaurant, hands down. Food was delicious as well as superb cocktails and a wine selection. Highly recommend visiting.

  Such a lovely dining spot in the District! We LOVE the daily selection of oysters, grilled calamari, BBQ Shrimp & Grits and Potatoes Anna! Even our young boys love Johnny's (kids Rockfish dish). Great food, impeccable service. A+++

  The brunch menu was small but everything looked so good. Prices were fair. The food and cocktails were awesome. The atmosphere was open and bright. Staff was professional and very friendly. Owner walked around, very good guy. Down to earth. Just wants everyone to enjoy themselves while they are dining.

  We loved this place! We were visiting from Chicago where we cannot get truly fresh seafood. Our waiter Armando told us his favorite dishes and they were all perfect for our preferences, my husband and for me. We started with oysters on the half shell and tgen shrimp salad. Deliciously prepared! Then my husband had the crab cakes which he lives and I had the soft shelled crabs, which are not real fresh in the Midwest for sure! The best was saved for last the 2 desserts we splurged on. Thanks to Armando again, both were outstanding. We had the Apple Charlotte and the Lemon Pie with Blackberry sauce. Both were excellent. This was a wonderful find for we who enjoy great food, especially seafood. It's a delightful place and a wonderful ending to our visit to D. C.
