"Would not recommend based off the waitstaff. I asked for a Cosmo to drink and the waitress did not know what that was or if the bartender could make it. The bartender indeed must not have known what goes into a Cosmo because it was terrible. I asked (presumably) the owner or manager and he re-made the drink after I stated what was in it. For dinner, I ordered the steak and frites and the taste was great, however it was a full steak and I expected it to be cut into strips like at other restaurants. Then they were out of the desserts I was interested it. Overall, I would not come back. The restaurant was also empty on a Friday night so that says a lot."

No review on the food as the restaurant was closed when we arrived (closed early due to slow traffic?? . Not sure if this was the fault of OpenTable or the restaurant, so we might give it another try when we are back in DC.

Arrived for a reservation mid-day on New Year's Eve. Was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant wasn't packed. We waited quite some time to get served, but once we finally did, the gentleman was apologetic and attentive, so all was well. Food was excellent and well priced for what you get. Not a huge amount of food on the buffet but had everything we needed. And that green, homemade salad dressing...so good. As well as the brussel sprouts. Just so good! Overall we enjoyed our experience, the ambiance, and the food.
