    This place used to be the best spot on 8th, but everything has changed. For the price, what you get is a complete rip-off — you’re much better off going somewhere else that’s actually worth paying for . Most of the menu is based around pork, and the other options are just very bad EXCEPT STEAK TARTARE bc that is just WOOW. The waffle with dinner makes no sense and super dry like its left over from brunch lol, the burger is terrible, just go get it from Mc Donalt’s lol, and the desserts are tasty and tiny. The new chefs do a horrible job with the food. The service is friendly, but very unorganized. Orders get messed up constantly, which isn’t acceptable — especially when there are only about three tables in the restaurant with 3 servers lol. On top of that, it shouldn’t take an hour to cook a burger. Overall, this place has gone downhill and really needs to fix a lot of things. Needs a new management

    Menu calls the steak tartare the best in DC, and I don’t disagree. Great menu variety for food and drinks. Fun seat at the bar, will be back.
