One of my most favorite dc spots. The food is incredible as well as the drinks. The care and level of elevation is so apparent in all their dishes.

Met some friends here for a Sunday lunch/brunch. Place was empty, probably because it was during a Nats day game. The food and service were outstanding. A couple of us had the Huevos Rancheros, which was very tasty and delicious. Someone else was very happy with her steak and eggs. Those who ordered taco platters were also very pleased. I would definitely go here again if down by the Navy Yard. They have nice outdoor seating but it was a very hot and muggy day so we ate inside.

Excellent service and delicious food! The staff were very attentive to my food allergies (gluten, dairy) and our needs throughout the evening, checking in on us multiple times. Would recommend!
