“Do not let the location fool you, this was the BEST Italian meal I have had in a long time. The menu was uniquely curated, the seafood was fresh and well prepared and the pasta was perfect. Service was a bit slow during our visit, but it was busy and there appeared to be only two wait staff on duty. Our waitress was extremely pleasant to interact with. What a great meal!! I wish we lived closer! Regardless we will be back.“
“I made reservations for a party of four for New Year's Eve to have dinner before a show at the Bethesda Theatre. Two of our party arrived before me, as I was running about five minutes late with my guest, and they were able to be seated immediately which was great because some restaurants won't seat your party if everyone isn't there. The table side service is always a bit lackluster and slow. Never particularly friendly or accommodating but adequate. We ordered the duck nachos as an appetizer which, as always, were amazing. One of our party wanted the branzino entree but asked if he could swap out the sides for the salmon entrée sides and he was told that it wasn't possible, which is strange for a kitchen at this price point. He decided to go ahead and order the salmon entrée so he could have the sides he wanted but to be honest, as the person who picked the restaurant for the evening, I was a bit annoyed that he couldn't have the food exactly how he wanted it prepared. I had the seared scallop special which consisted of scallops with risotto instead of the mashed potatoes they normally come with. The risotto was a bit overly complicated with mushrooms and shaved brussels sprouts throughout, which took away from the texture and flavor of the risotto which I could barely taste. However, the scallops were perfectly prepared and the dish itself was good if you didn't expect to have traditional risotto. The rest of the party had the burger with a side of mushrooms, the salmon entree, and the scallop entrée with mashed potatoes. Two guests ordered take out shrimp tacos (also always amazing ) and another burger. All in all, the food was excellent and other than not being able to switch out the sides and the complicated risotto, we were satisfied. My Old Fashioned was also delicious. The portions are good, but for the price point, I do think there should be some leeway in swapping out the sides. Also, the service could be more friendly and prompt.“
“Wow, this was a surprise drop-in. I've never been here, but I will definitely be returning. I just happened to be in the area taking care of some business. I definitely brought my New Year in eating sole delicious crabs the night before. The crabs were a nice size, meaty, and excellently flavored. Great customer service also made this a place I'm definitely going to return to.“
“Wow. Was hesitant to dine here with friends based on lukewarm reviews but was pleasantly surprised to find that everything was perfection. The ambiance was bright and elegant, the staff, including our phenomenal server Matthew, were attentive without being overbearing, the food was perfectly seasoned, portioned and exceptionally flavorful. Our water glass was always full, which is a rarity these days. I am so glad we gave this place a try and would be delighted to return. Highly recommend for a date night, night out with friends, or just a cozy place for a drink and solid meal.“
“First time back in a long long time(moved out of town many years ago), but was a regular back in the 90's. Food was great, my dish of seafood and pasta was outstanding. The service was a slow but they were busy, my daughter carbonara was way below acceptable, though she asked for fettuccine instead of pasta- but that should not have changed the dish much.“
“Insanely good ! I love the chicken, it has been consistently good the last 10 years. The sauces are also amazing. I could eat the green sauce with anything. I think the sides are great too, especially rice and beans, plantain and yucca.My only feedback, which you can see in the photo, is it’s not clear why the “Fiesta” meals are actually more expensive than buying separately. Sides cost £4.75 individually (not pictured). I wish I understood that, because why should someone get the fiesta meal?“
“While a patient at Walter Reed, my wife picked up some takeout. Tried the pad thai...also my entry dish to evaluate a Thai restaurant for the first time. Pad that was very good...good spice, hint of lime. It was good enough that I would come back and try other dishes. My wife had the green curry and liked it. The garden rolls were good, too.“
“Really enjoyed this trio!!! 2oz each of shrimp, lobster and crab rolls. Great way to sample them all! Highly recommend this!!!!!!!I had this delivered. Got the Luke's Trio with salt and vinegar chips, pickle and a blueberry lemonade drink.“
“Went for a friend's birthday. Everyone had so much fun. Only had tacos at the end of a drunk night, and those were pretty good. 4 stars for the tacos because they were quite dry.PS, the shots are ridiculously expensive at 15 for a mini shot. I suggest you pre-game before going there.Parking: Free street parking after 10pm“
“DON’T GET THE HONEY SHRIMP.We considered leaving after being served four small, tail-on shrimp that were shamefully overcooked for $10.Very glad we stayed and enjoyed the non-veg thali. The selection was fun, the food was delicious; and we were very satisfied with it. Service was extremely slow, but our server did apologize. We’re definitely going to try it again.“
