Caitlin Schiavoni: I got the steak au poivre (cooked rare, it's the only way) and it pretty much melted in my mouth. Outstanding. Escargots were delicious, bread was awesome, service was on point and stellar.
Amy ✈️: This place is packed & for good reason! Great food & service! Little pricey but good size portions, we shared the steak frittes so we could also have escargots, cheese & the amazing bread & butter!

Tanisha: crispy salt cod, grilled rabbit sausage, brown rice bread, lamb ribs, cannolis and 'out of the lodges shadow' were all yummy! we thought the cavatelli was ok, but a delightful dinner nonetheless.
Stephanie Hellerman: Brown rice bread and a glass of dry white wine would make a perfect summer meal. However, as long as you're there go ahead and get the delicious roast chicken.
Lindsay D.: The service is phenomenal. Try to order a good variety from the menu to get the full experience. The brown rice bread, rabbit sausage, pastas and lamb ribs are incredible!

Tara C: Best gluten free restaurant in DC. They will gladly alter any dish, have a separate GF bread plate (with delicious surprises), and pages of allergy-free beers. Servers very knowledgable, too!
Audrey A: AWESOME, knowledgable staff...thanks Zach! Flatbread is a safe bet, but venture out as it's all tasty. LOVED the skate wing. Everything is seasonal, so menu is constantly changing.
Washington Post: Following an overnight cooling, the mac and cheese sticks are cut info 3-1/4-inch-by-1-inch bricks, coated with garlic-infused panko bread crumbs, fired and served with a sweet tomato relish. Read more.

Manik Khanna: Got to say - probably the best Indian food I've had in the states! Amazing! Highly recommend the truffle oil naan.
Joseph Akbrud: The crispy spinach is fantastic. Note that many, if not most of the entrees don't come with rice or bread. I recommend the bread bowl, it comes with both roti and naan.
AFAR Media: On a recent visit, I feasted on a Keralan-style fish curry—utterly delicious. Be sure to order the naan. It’s made to order so it comes to the table piping hot. Read more.

monkey2000: Try the rossejat, a kind of paella made with fideos (an angel hair noodle); pan con tomate, the famous tomato bread of Catalunya; cumin-scented chickpeas with spinach; croquetas!; calamares a la roman
Washingtonian Magazine: Tapas we’ve been loving for years include goat-cheese-stuffed red peppers, crusty bread rubbed with tomatoes & layered with thinly sliced Manchego, a textbook gazpacho, & warm dates wrapped in bacon.
Alice Ferris: Try the pan con chocolate - Chocolate flan with caramelized bread, olive oil and brioche ice cream. Delish.
