Excellent cocktails, bar staff, and food. Very generous portions and top notch food for a bar. We had the Korean fried chicken (tip: order it naked with sauces on the side) and totchoes. I only wish they had more seating. We got there early and had no trouble but I'm not sure that would be the case had we arrived later in the evening.
The kimchi mac is delicious, as is the red bean ice cream. Cheesecake is decadent but nothing out of the ordinary. If you get one of the vegan chicken pho dishes, ask for extra broth on the side since otherwise it's a bit dry. There are lots of vegetarian and vegan options here, as well as meat options. Dinner service is on point. If you're just stopping by for a drink late night, this isn't perhaps a top choice on my list because it's a little bright and not really the sexy, secluded atmosphere you'd look for in a cocktail bar.
Amazing experience. Service was prompt and 5 stars. Would highly recommend the southern comfort kim chi mac n cheese with BBQ pork on top. All of the cocktails are wonderful too. The appetizer portions are bigger than expected and they are charging $9 for craft cocktails that should probaby be closer to $12. I can't remember the last time I had service this great.
If your looking for a place downtown with good food, friendly staff and not big crowds, this is it. Great place to actually have a conversation without screaming over everyone else.
Casual atmosphere. Great craft cocktails. Satisfying appetizers, generous portions.
I adore everything about this place. Music is great. Cocktails are tasty AF. Tots are perfectly crispy. The buffalo chicken empanadas are my favorite of everything I tried. Staff is so so so wonderful. They make sure everyone feels welcome and if you're fortunate enough to be a regular there they treat you like family.
Fun mix of restaurant and bar vibes. Food menu is somewhat limited. And the drinks were much better than the food. They have a good variety of drinks, and they were all delicious! Staff are very friendly, but food was slow. They're LGBT-friendly. I've seen a number of couples, and they all looked like they're having a good time :)
Atmosphere was very good tho slightly too loud music. The waiters were super nice! Though they didn’t actually come to our table often at all and we went a while without any service. On the plus side the food was super delicious- though we did have to wait a long time to receive it. Still overall a very nice time and wonderful food- would go again.
Great food and drinks. Lots of food more than we could eat.
We were warmly greeted and served quickly. There are a few vegan options on the menu and I chose the mock chicken wrap with fries. My husband had the pimento cheese burger and tots. We enjoyed everything we ordered and plan to return to check out the T-Th happy hour when "most" appetizers are half price. If you haven't tried The District, you should!
