This place is a treat. The atmosphere is charming, staff attentive, and food excellent. The portions are the right size, not too much or too little, and the strawberry shortcake was beyond incredible. A great place for a romantic dinner and just a walk away from the craziness of M Street.
i ate here on NYE '07 and it was FANTASTIC! the staff was so friendly from the time i made the reservation & throughout the entire night. i ordered the steak tartare & rockfish and both were out of this world. my boyfriend ordered the tasting (5 courses with wine pairings) and the portions were pretty small, so i shared my food with him (by contrast, my portions from the regular menu were pretty generous). Our waiter was outstanding, and i can't wait to go back. Beautiful rooms make you feel like you're at an expensive Inn.
Great place to wine and dine: Excellent food
