Have dined here over 10 times for both lunch and dinner and have had a very good experience every time. The food is very good, the atmosphere energetic and fun, and service is up and down as one would expect in a bistro.

have been going for as long as I can remember and it only gets better. Lamb is awesome. Good menu choices and always friendly staff.

I am a tough restaurant critic, but this place has never disappointed me. It seems more like a restaurant in San Francisco (where I used to live) than one in Washington. It is unpretentious yet sophisticated with a serius focus on the quality of food. Be forewarned that the space is small and the tables are close together. This is... more
