Great alcohol selections & food menu. Sat at a table by a heater & it was way too hot. Asked the server if the heat could be turned down & was informed the Manager locks the thermostat. If I return, will ask for a seat away from the heater or at least close to the front door. If you want my $$, please make sure the bar temp is comfortable.

Shared a French press coffee and roasted cauliflower salad with my daughter?lovely atmosphere and staff was very inviting and attentive.very good food and coffee.looking forward to next visit?

I really enjoyed my experience. The bar looks like nothing special on the outside but it was really cute and inviting inside. The cocktail was expensive, but delicious. I would definitely recommend if you were looking for a place for a quick drink downtown that's a little more sophisticated than a typical bar.

Great atmosphere and even better cocktails. Make sure you call the day before for a reservation. This place is very popular!

Cocktails are good and food is fine, just don't go there too hungry. The menu is limited and they tend to be out of something every time I go there. Wait staff is always nice.

This is a new favorite spot. It’s so refreshing to have different menu options. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I only gave 4 stars rather than 5 because it can be difficult to get a table.

This place feels urban and chic. It’s like you walk through the door and you are instantly transported to a place in Washington DC, where all the fashionable political insiders go. I ordered a flat bread pizza and it was amazing. Cooked nice and well done, which is my preference. My dessert included hot licks ice cream. This place has a vibe. All the vibes.

Phenomenal service, awesome atmosphere. Great wine selection and drink choices. Will definitely go back

I really hope this review reaches the owner as last night when I asked to speak to the owner, the manager asked me to leave, so I couldn't resolve my issue with the manager. From the moment we entered we were instantly made to feel unwelcome. The manager who was acting as the hostess immediately started telling us things we couldn't do in a very rude and condescending way. I can honestly say, I've never experiences such a lack of interpersonal skills as that manager had. After we were sat she went to the back kitchen and stood staring at us with her arms crossed. The manager knew we were there to meet up with friends but were told that we could not stand next to them or we would be kicked out. Which I'm previous visits had never been said or a problem as I've stood and chatted with people before. New policy? That's not how you tell customers about things. When seats opened up next to our friends we went and joined them only for the manager to come out infront of all the customers (half empty bar) and berate us by saying "I'll allow this to happen this time, but never again! In a half empty bar we were YELLED at for moving to the bar 5 minutes after arriving and before ordering anything. I'm absolutely shocked at how this manager treated us and I probably won't come back unless the owner reaches out and explains how the manager has gotten proper training

Everything I’ve had here has been delicious. My favorite drink is One Flew Over The Cosmos Nest, I love the Brussel sprouts, tomato soup and the flats breads are amazing. Even the gluten free flat bread is amazing. You can’t even tell is gluten free, seriously.
