Orders are placed via phone or you can order at the counter but the tip defaults to 22%. I’m a generous tipper but am annoyed at this, esp when our server didn’t return with sugar after being asked for it or to check up on us. Otherwise, it’s a very cozy place.

An actual DC hidden gem that is gaining the popularity it finally deserves. I don’t live in DC anymore but every time I come and visit, I make sure to visit The Royal :)

Great food and drinks for a chill brunch. Latin American influence food and drinks. Looks like a great spot for coffee too!
Had such a great time here! Came in the morning to get some work done. Wifi was fast and vibes were great. Their breakfast was delicious and loved their pastries as well. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

This is the first restaurant in the US that I was 100% satisfied with. All three types of draft beer were delicious, and although I wasn't able to take a picture of the steak, the quality of the food was great. Highly recommended.

Food IS EXCELLENT!! We got the fish and the steak. Servers were very attentive. Atmosphere is informal, but nice. Either bar or high top.

This corner cafe/restaurant may be one of the best hidden gems in DC and the greater Mid-Atlantic. The drinks were mixed perfectly and the pork belly with corn is amazing.
