First I’d say that Micki, our waitress was the sweetest and most caring ever. She clearly knows how to provide an excellent service.Following her recommendation, i took the LEG OF LAMB - (grilled leg steak, zucchini,hibiscus yogurt, mint + cumin relish) which was very rich and tasty sMy colleague took MINTWOOD BURGER - (bacon, cheddar, pickled lettuce roulade, marie rose sauce, house cut fries or frisée salad) and said it was fantastic. My other colleague, took The MUSSELS (salt cod, smoked lemon, bacon,fennel, house cut fries) judging by how quick he finished it, clearly that he loved it to .My friend who took ROASTED HALF CHICKEN (roasted baby vegetables, jus de poult) says it tasted good however it didn’t looking very appealing (especially The chicken actually hand .The only thing we didn’t like was the CHOCOLATE TART - strawberry bubbles, puffed brown rice, smoked sweet cream. We felt that the smoke cream flavor was too dominant and overtook the flavor of the chocolate.
We went for Easter brunch. I'm always a bit worried when eating out on a holiday as it seems some restaurants either can't handle the crowd or take advantage by reducing service to make extra money. NOT the case here. Our family of five was greeted graciously. The staff was very attentive. Everyone loved their food. My Eggs Florentine was the best I've ever had...truly. My appetizer of bread with fig/ricotta spread was absolutely delightful.The experience was quality from start to finish. We are looking forward to returning.
Delicious food, yummy cocktails, and kind staff. The Florence Benedict was the only just okay meal that we got. Everything else was stand out! The spinach was a little mushy. The homemade ricotta dish was absolutely worth it! The salmon toast was yummy. My fiance really loved the burger and it's highly loved by many!
My friend and I came in last night for dinner, we sat down at the bar, got menus, water, no problem. Pretty quickly, we noticed that there something going on with their HVAC or something, because there was HOT air blasting us in the face from a the vents behind the bar. No big deal, we said something to the bartender, along the lines of, “can this be fixed, or would you serve us at the high top away from the bar?” Our bartender(the real victim here), asked if we would prefer to sit at the bar if he could get management to fix the problem. We said yes, because my best friend and I are also both bartenders and are always more comfortable at the bar than at a table. We should have just moved to the high top then. Our bartender leaves for a sec and comes back with this manager, who basically says “oh you feel hot air coming out of there? That’s weird because it’s off!” Like, what was that? So we were like okay, so I guess you didn’t want us to spend what would have absolutely been about a $200 dinner at your empty bar. We tipped our bartender and left. Manager of the year could have said anything, like “there’s something wrong with the system, I can’t do anything about it right now, but we would be happy to serve you at this high top right here out of the way of the vent. Instead he called us stupid and offered no solution.
Really like a 4.2.Nice brunch spot. $27 brunch deal is worth it. Definitely fills you up. The Burger and Chix sandwich were good (but not spectacular). The Bloody Mary could be better (and get paper straws!)
Great selection of starters, entrees and cocktails. The burger is just OK, everything else we tried was very good. Service was a bit scattered, we were left waiting a bit at different points in the evenings.
Excellent stop for us on our short DC trip! Very glad we chose to come here. Excellent service—very friendly! We ordered the arancini—so good, very crunchy, special mention to the arancini sauce—think hummus but much much better! Great green salad, loved the fresh pears and pecans. For my main, got the pappardelle with truffle butter and mushrooms—pretty solid, just hoped it would be more creamy and little less chewy (I’ll give this specifically a 7/10).Last super special mention: ricotta cheese, I’ve never had better cheese before! That paired with the beets and the bread—so scrumptious!!
Went here with my girlfriend, we got a steak and burger. Burger was one of the blandest I've ever eaten. The steak was far too tough for the medium rare I ordered it. I went to Texas Roadhouse last night and had a better steak, which is quite disappointing for a nice DC restaurant. That being said, the desserts we had were phenomenal.
Tricky switching out Sunday lunch for Sunday Brunch. Who eats brunch at 1pm? Wouldn't have been so bad were it not for shredded pork masquerading as confit of duck. And you know, if you really run out of Bloody Mary mix, make it from scratch! Then, the parking. Why tell your prospective diner it's free, when it's actually $20.00 plus tip. Bit of a ripoff for a venerable Adams Morgan restaurant. Sigh
Warm atmosphere (if inside), excellent service and delicious food. I will say the folks seated outside looked cold and miserable, hunched over in down parkas. Had sweatbreads and the cassoulet. Hearty fare, very well executed.
