  Came here for a work lunch. The restaurant was empty when we walked in, but by the time we left, it was PACKED.
  
  We started with the shrimp/crap dip. DELICIOUS. Minimal crab, but lots of shrimp.
  
  I ordered the garlic linguine. Very tasty and very garlicky. Probably some of the best linguine I've had in a while. My coworker ordered the same thing and we both were completely stuffed.
  
  I don't come into DC often but I'd come back just to go eat here again.

  You guys, it was incredible. Special kudos to Pheon C., our wonderful attentive waitress, who didn't make us wait even once, and despite the bar being SUPER busy was always there to advise us on the menu or refresh our beers.
  
  We came during happy hour and got an insane deal for five tapas-sized dishes and three sides. Everything, and I mean literally everything, was delicious. Both my parents are known critics and big-time travelers all around the world, so the last thing I expected was for them to rave this much about American food.
  
  The four of us (including my little brother) were full and happy instantaneously. The beers were great, even the super cheap happy hour one. Many, many on tap choices, both local and not.
  
  Good music, good vibes, fantastic service. Thank you for making our visit so great after an insanely hot day visiting all the tourist spots!

  Our server was Pheon, a phenomenal woman. My group and I came in for happy hour and stayed throughout the night to watch the NBA game. Pheon was extremely considerate of our needs to move tables a few times because of weather and our adding another person to our party. The drinks were delicious and the happy hour food specials were satisfying.
  
  Our party was a group of Pacific Islanders that were getting louder and rowdier as the drinks kept coming, but we did not ever feel unwelcome or unwanted at any point, which is very important to us. Pheon constantly checked up on us and conversed with us enough but not too much (a great balance).
  
  We also had someone in our party that had a shellfish allergy and Pheon and other employees were very diligent about communicating the foods that could potential trigger a reaction, which we appreciated.
  
  This review is only 4 stars because of some of the delay in getting our drinks and food out. However, we do understand it was a busy night, especially when the game started.
  
  Overall, a great experience, especially with our server Pheon. Will come again!

  Nice little spot for lunch. Lots of seats and quick service. Sat outside as the weather was perfect for lunch. Had the buffalo chicken wedge salad. Very good and just the right size for lunch. Best part was the price was really good for DC. Inside had lots of tv  and mostly sports so could be a place for some game watch. Staff was friendly and efficient. Enjoyed eating here.

  Came here with coworkers for lunch and even though the food took a while to come out, everyone seemed to enjoy their meals except me since they got my order wrong. They handled it professionally by redoing my order and even comped half my meal which really made me want to give them at least 4 stars but the Heater burger just didn't have any flavor or spice, very plain. I probably won't come back.
