"The food was excellent, service was moderate but did not detract from dining experience! Bar was exceptionally slow in making drinks that ended up lacking on alcohol and the lighting in the area we were seated in (farthest back from the bar) was a bit too brightly lit for my taste! However, it was a nice, calm meal and was a great break from D.C. 's food scene which can be too flashy, loud, and funky when you 're looking for a great, classic meal. We also loved the complimentary bread sticks and olive tapenade!"
