I usually go here for a quick dinner while waiting for the train. The Salmon Tacos are great. A good selection of beers and usually attentive service. I have been here on one occasion where we couln't get the attention of the bartender and left.

Decent spot to grab a barstool and pass the time while waiting for Amtrak departure. Quick walk to Capitol through a pretty green park. Easy to access from Supreme Ct, Library of Congress, Folger Shakespeare and Eastern Market. The front entrance of Union Station, unfortunately, is a gauntlet of uncomfortable needy moments. The restaurant is just to the right of the entrance in the stunning neoclassical lobby. This place ... It's not cheap! $12-15 for a short wine pour and $20 for a basic entree that you quickly make at home. The convenient location and friendly bartender make up for a fast-casual atmosphere at sitdown restaurant prices.

Our server was excellent and I apologise that I cannot remember his name. We spent over an hour there and he never made us feel rushed or that we were waisting his time. The food was excellent and some of the best iced tea that I had in Washington DC. The Cuban sandwich meal was fantastic as well.

★★★★★ 5/5
I gave this restaurant a 5 star rating because they were great. The host, manager even my bartender. They were all super helpful and on top of it. The bartender Nancy attended me right away knowing I was in a rush to catch my train. She made everything work knowing my time limit. Nancy recommended me the Pumpkin Spice Latte Martini while I waited it was amazing! I ordered the Seafood Gumbo to go. I made it right on time for my train despite the restaurant being a little busy. The staff made everything so pleasant and convenient. Most definitely will be coming back for another Martini when I am back in town.

Great place for incredible social (or happy) hours. The food is great, and the appetizers are delicious. The rich variety of IPAs is also a first-rate experience you have to try at least once. Ask for Nancy, she will treat gentlemen as emperors and ladies as empresses. Bottom line, this amazing professional will take good care of you! Key note to remember, if you have a party of 10+ patrons, you're only allowed to stay for 15 minutes.

Visited for happy hour. Table service exists if you are dining but not for happy hour (5p--7p). Have to order drinks and food at the bar which is generally packed. Might be better to have an order station for those who don't want to sit at the bar itself. But food and drinks were good.

Excellent service! Wonderful nachos, the coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious. I love the sweet potato mash that it is served on. The drinks are a little pricey but where aren't they in DC. If you read a bad review about this place it just simply isn't true it's a wonderful, wonderful establishment. Staff is extremely friendly and efficient

★★★★☆ 4/5
Good place to eat before getting on the train at Union Station. Typical burgers, sandwiches, etc. But nice atmosphere especially if you sit facing the great hall. Didn't try any of the beer or other bar offerings. Lunch for two came to about $40 including tax and tip. Not cheap but you could easily spend at least $20 at any of the fast food places in the station.
