Had a very nice dinner before attending a concert at the Golden 1 Center. The drinks were top notch and the food had some excellent Indian flavors. What stood out the most was the attentive service. Anytime our water glass was more than halfway empty it was refilled within 30 seconds. Would happily stop back in since the restaurant is only a 5 minute walk away from the venue.

Very classy restaurant with tasty food and incredible service. We were here for breakfast. My husband ordered the biscuit and gravy, and I ordered the pork belly hash. Both were super delicious and we cleaned our plates.

Very nice furniture, elegant and sober. Cristina was amazing and very professional. Food is good quality and well presented, just some things to said, when you use pesto, can't use other ingredients, because pesto going to cover other flavors. Gnocchi nice, just to much corn make the dish sweet,to much. Espresso,was surprised,nice šŸ‘šŸ». Thank you for having us here.

We attended a friend's birthday celebration and everyone enjoyed the experience. The staff was attentive but not obtrusive. I started with the roasted beet salad that was spot on. I had the bouillabaisse that was a special that evening. The seafood was fresh and cooked nicely. The sauce was different, perhaps with some Asian influence which turned out great. Another diner had the lamb special that was good but not spectacular. My wife had the chicken and dumplings which she really enjoyed. The dumplings were excellent, the chicken was very moist. Overall we enjoyed the experience and will be returning.

Had a delicious dinner! As soon as I heard the specials I knew I’d have the beef tenderloin. And it was perfection. Probably the best tenderloin I’ve ever had! I ordered it medium rare and it was served on a bed of grilled asparagus and creamed potatoes. We ordered the Caesar salad to share and for dessert the hazelnut cream puff and lemon tart. Dinner was amazing! Unfortunately I can only leave 4 stars because the gender neutral restroom layout felt really uncomfortable. I’m fine sharing a restroom but this layout was very strange and felt like a way to cut corners and not have to spend money on separate spaces. I didn’t feel safe going into a stall. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough! I’m sorry but the restroom may be one thing that will stop me from coming back or recommending this restaurant.

Exceptional place!!! Very unusual dishes, cozy and spacious interior, friendly staff. The entrance is located right on the corner of 7th and L street with complicated downtown parking. Not easy to find since the building is under construction. But totally worth it. Was there for holiday breakfast. Ordered Pork belly hash and Popover Lox. Absolutely amazing and very unusual tastes. With mimosa, pineapple juice and coffee the total receipt was about $70. Definitely will come there again to try dinner menu

Stayed at the Hyatt; Husband and I had lunch here. I have to say there were some curve balls thrown at us. Chicken & dumplings ($26) were "dry", as in not in a soup/stew. They were ok, just an unexpected plating. Fish tacos ($20) were more of an appetizer portion vs. an entrƩe. Good taste, but I was still hungry. Chilled Corn Soup ($10) was more like chilled corn "milk" soup. The description reads, "Elote" salad...it may have been salad once upon a time, before it got pureed in the blender. Lastly, the dessert left me staring at the plate with both eyebrows raised. Carrot cake ($13) is served deconstructed (not mentioned in the description, hence the surprise reaction), which translates to lacking presentation and sufficient frosting. I'm starting to understand why people ask a lot of questions about how their food is prepared and served.

Came here for the amazing reviews about brunch. The place has a very nice and modern ambience. Light inside the restaurant is magnificent.The bar is huge and well placed in the middle of the restaurant. The service was superb from the hostess to our waiter. Cocktails were well done and refreshing. The food was tasty, well done and fulfilling. The menu is not large but the options are diverse. Overall, this is a nice place with above average food. Recommend to go and try it!

Brunch was great. I had the pork belly hash. It was well seasoned and delicious. Loved the addition of other root veggies. Beautiful modern decor.

Looking for a quick bite before the Kings game, turns out many places are still closed on Mondays and ended up here randomly. Not a quick bite and much more expensive than was planning for but pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Interesting seasonal cocktail list, good amount of local beers on tap, and many wines by the glass. Food menu was relatively small but appeared well thought out. Generous portions for a fine dining spot. Lamb shoulder and Branzino (not pictured) were well executed. And yes, this cream puff thing was pretty amazing. Shatteringly crisp shell and filling that is not too sweet.

Ate here for lunch while staying at the Hyatt Centric. The place is very swanky and stylish. It was a slow day for them but I was seated promptly and the waitress Kimberly was very nice and welcoming. She recommended the burger and it was an excellent choice! She said it was her favorite because the bun was made in house the the meat was ground in house with 3 different meats. It was very flavorful and I’d have two if I could! Thanks Kimberly for the recommendation and your hospitality!!

Delicious cocktails! You can really tell they are crafted with housemade syrups/ingredients. Excellent food and service. We visited during happy hour on a Friday and it was pleasant. Can't say much about their dinner except if the happy hour menu was great, I can imagine their dinner to be just as great or better! Definitely would try it again! Now, as for their rooftop lounge, that's a whole other review. Overall, it's a must try if you're in the area!

A glorious return to the office means checking out new places in downtown! We decided to go for an early 10:30 lunch (gasp) and it still seems to be the pattern that most places upon up around 11. Luckily I found this place and noticed that they served both lunch and breakfast. The building didn't look like it was open but when we arrived I wad impressed by the atmosphere. Clean, more upscale, and not too busy which is just the way I like it! Like others have pointed out it is definitely on the pricier end but the food and service was great. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and we all decided to play it safe with a burger but it was really worth the price. I'm always worried about paying more than 20 for a burger and finding myself disappointed but this place proved me wrong. A nice little thing I notice about the service as well is that the staff would continuously come around and keep our drinks topped off. On top of this service was quick and all of us joined the clean plate club. Definitely worth checking this place out for an early lunch and definitely a place I plan to visit for dinner!

The waiter was very friendly and attentive. Their chicken and dumpling dish was the favorite of the table. Definitely recommended. Great vibe and decor. They did have a baby shower happening in a private room but it was not loud or disruptive.
