    Nice place that might get overlooked if you didn’t know it’s there. Had restaurant week dinner with friends. All our food was great and the service was top-notch. Bartenders and wait stuff were all super friendly and helpful.

    I usually pick the best thing on the menu but seemed to do the opposite last night however all my friends dishes were great. My special cocktail, seasonal gnocchi and oysters were mid but their wine list is top notch. Other dishes might be good but my friends kept it simple with burgers and chicken (sandwich / entree) and more classic cocktails. Very well appointed hotel restaurant on a quiet side street off 14th.

    10/10 recommend! I had the 4-course restaurant week menu and was so impressed, it was a GREAT deal. Bread and butter, 5 oysters, a perfectly cooked filet, Brussel sprouts and a slice of chocolate cake all for $55. Also, the “so long, London” was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The service was so friendly and attentive, shoutout to my server William who did a great job! Every employee was extremely welcoming and made the experience memorable. They even have an adorable dog menu and brought my pup a water bowl and pup cup. I’ll definitely be back.
