Never thought a wild rice and lentil salad could be so delicious! The whole dish is rice and lentils based -not rice and lentils on top of salad. Even more filling with salmon added and the perfect amount of goat cheese. Super impressed and want to make this at home!

The service was subpar, I actually felt like we were inconveniencing the waitstaff. He seemed very uninterested in getting us a table and even suggested I would steal his pen. The food...blah. The chicken on my salad was so overdone and chewy. My salad came out warm and wilted. The Mac and cheese was okay, pretty soupy. Will not recommend or be returning.

Hate to say it, because my husband and I really used to enjoy cafe caturra, but recently (since they changed their menu, maybe?) it's not been all that great. We ordered through OrderUp and when our food arrived we were sorely disappointed. My husband's panini was very small (we honestly thought he only got half a sandwich), and his side salad was practically all lettuce with almost no feta and ~5 cranberries. My chicken w/ wine & mushroom sauce with blue cheese grits contained a pretty minimal drumstick and "maybe" a thigh? It was absolutely swimming in the wine sauce (husband thought it was soup) that was so salty I couldn't finish my relatively small portion. The grits drowned. They had a nice flavor at first, but because of the sauce, they were covered with, they just sort of assumed the same overpowering saltiness. It really is a shame because we used to love this place (which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1) . Don't know what happened.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good food and service, however we like to dine in the upstairs area and find it is too often closed for no apparent reason. The upstairs area is more comfortable and quiet, a more enjoyable area that improves the dining experience.

Bistro Steak with Chimichurri was great! Perfectly cooked.
Appreciated the large ice cube from bartender to go with my Ron Zacapa rum.
Great spot.

The restaurant was pretty dead... The service was so slow. The waitress was inattentive. The bartender was on his phone and paid no attention. The other bartender was to busy to talking. Food was good but pricey

Second visit since a year ago and the service is still as slow as molasses in a Virginia winter. The food is fair. Not impressed. Won't bother coming back again after this final visit.
