"After perusing the menu, my partner and I decided to come here before seeing a movie at the street at the Avalon.Our feelings are mixed about this place. When we first arrived, we were asked by the busser whether we would like to sit inside or outside. At that same moment, another couple was coming in from outside because of the bugs there. Once we sat down, I noticed the bug zapper outside. So, it must be an issue for them.There was only one server on the schedule for the night. This poor woman she was slammed. She was doing her very best to run orders for nine tables both inside and out and acting as bartender when she clearly was not one. Alcohol is the best way to make a profit and they had no bartender. Sad. The busser was clearing tables, acting as host and running food from the kitchen.The chef was also overwhelmed. He was training someone who just stood behind him like a statue watching him cook. Why she wasn’t helping with plating is a mystery.The food was average and nothing to write home about. The salmon was in the pan too long and was accompanied by potatoes that would be great- if they had flavor- and a tomato caper sauce that tasted metallic. The shrimp and grits were so-so. The grits were nice but more like crème of wheat. Really no creativity with flavor in the dishes.Then an older man walked in and went behind the bar. All he seemed to do was bark orders at the server, stand over her shoulder and follow her outside. He then grabbed a drink and sipped it behind the bar. He should have rolled up his sleeves and jumped in to help. But he seemed too concerned about his ego and position -whatever it may be.Oh- Our tart tatin was a 20 minute wait and very underwhelming.We tried to love this place.Management needs to step it up and get their act together or we don’t see this place lasting very long."

the neighboring bistro serves beautiful eating in a beautiful room. the young server has to work on its table side, but we will return.

This is one of our favorite places. The staff couldn't be more helpful. The menu may be limited, but the food is excellent. They are also very accommodating.

When it first arrived at the scene, it was delicious. I'm not sure if we were in a night there or if it's trying to get back from covid, but it wasn't so good this time. the fingers crossed for a night. Voir le carte

I’m glad I didn’t take the negative reviews too seriously and decided to honor our reservation as I didn’t find the service lacking at all in fact the service was great. The food was as good as I remember pre pandemic. I’ll be back!

Very disappointed. Restaurant was understaffed both at front and back of house. The single server tried hard covering all tables and making drinks (no bartender working), but she clearly had no serving experience. Busser was seating people and filling up water glasses. Kitchen was struggling. Food was okay they tried. What looked like the owner was ordering staff around while getting in the way and doing nothing himself. Restrooms were down the hallway and barely acceptable. Would not go there again.

BEWARE! I had been wanting to try Macon for a while and finally did. Unfortunately, I wish I never tried it. It was a flat out bad restaurant that's over priced, unfriendly waiters, sticky floors, small portions, lazily prepared food with little flavor that had been reheated, and unsanitary. The worst part of my evening at Macon was after eating looking down and seeing a cockroach scurry by. I nearly puked after seeing this. Then later that night and the next morning I had to keep running to the bathroom. Macon gave my partner and I food poisoning. I hope this review at least helps someone avoid the mistake I made. I was a bit hesitant to eat at Macon after I saw how few people were at the r... Voir le carte

After perusing the menu, my partner and I decided to come here before seeing movie up the street at the Avalon. Our feelings are mixed about this place. When we first arrived and were asked about sitting inside or outside (by the busser), a couple was asking to be moved inside due to bugs. So we decided on inside. Once seated, I noticed a bug zapper outside so it must be an issue. Service- the poor server was SLAMMED with 9 tables and she was the only one there. It seemed like she had never had a job serving before but did her very best to make sure we were taken care of while running from the outside seating back to inside. She was also playing bartender for the night. She obviously was not...

what a nice culinary experience we had last night in macon. we arrived at 5:30 a.m. on a Wednesday night so that the beautiful restaurant was empty. consequently no problem to get the table next to the window with view of connecticut ave. our waiter was friendly and patient answered all our questions about the items in the menu. my friend ordered the delicious buttermilk biscuits with chili jam, the Cheddar cheese sauce, the roasted okra with special dipping sauce and the roasted green tomato. she loved everyone! She let me have one of the four cookies, and it was the best cookie I had eaten, especially accompanied by the chili marble. I ordered the caesar salad with marinated anchovy I love...

"I typically always forget to write google reviews but this place deserves every word I have to say. I found this spot because the luggage storage app, bounce, sent me here to hold my bags while I toured apartments for the day. Before I left my bags, I decided to try a quiche which was so much better than expected. Growing up in my father's deli, I tend to have high standards for most food because I can usually recognize good ingredients so safe to say I was definitely pleasantly surprised with my quiche. Around mid-day I fell walking around in NoMa and severely hurt my knee. Rather than continuing my tours for the day I decided to come back to pick up my bags and potentially go to the airport to arrive early for my flight. When I got to Old City Market and Oven, they actually gave me ice for my knee and let me sit downstairs uninterrupted. While I was downstairs the cashier told me to call the number in case I needed anything so they can come down and help because they didn't want me walking up the stairs for anything stupid. To say they were sweet was understatement, the level of care I received felt like I was in one of my dad's restuarants growing up which in my opinion is not something you see these days. I decided to have a pizza while I waited because another customer said it was amazing. Even though I was skeptical due to the paper menu, they really did their big one with that pear pizza. This spot really made my day and it makes me happy establishments at this tier still exist."

"For a special occasion, make a reservation at Michelin star Reverie, a small restaurant inside a Georgetown alley. If you 're lucky, you 'll meet Poppy the Alley Cat that is taken care of by the community, including by the staff at Reverie. My wife dined at Reverie on a Thursday evening. Here 's our experience. 1) Experience: It 's a Michelin star restaurant so expect superb service. It 's clear that the chef is passionate about his craft and his passion is contagious. Every staff member from our server to the chefs who brought out our food, everyone was knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Throughout the stay, we were given wet towels to wash our hands in between snacks. Our water glasses were kept full. If we really loved a dish, our server would point out elements or teach us tips on how to use similar flavors at home. The journey begins with savory snacks and ends with sweet ones. Since the menu changes often, a copy of your dinner 's meu is given to you to take home at the end. It 's a perfect memento, especially if you 're celebrating something special. 2) Food: Reverie 's menu changes, but whatever you 're served will be innovative, fresh, and full of flavor. It 's also a tasting menu. When we went in May 2025, the menu included 17 different bites/dishes. The meal starts and ends with three small bites. The next nine dishes mainly included seafood and one was elk. Every dish is presented on a design-forward plate and came in full color and plated perfectly. A sign of a good restaurant is perfection in every dish and there wasn 't a bad one. We thoroughly enjoyed every single one, but our favorites were the Scallop, which comes in a fun sunchoke cracker sandwich, Hiramasa with juniper and caviar, and the Carolina Gold Rice. 3) Drink: Reverie 's drink menu comes with cocktails named after neighborhoods from around the world, wine, and other options. The Golden Gai is now my wife 's favorite Old Fashioned. She ordered two. For a sweeter refreshing cocktail, get the Old San Juan. For a refreshing, but sherry-forward cocktail, I recommend the Roma Notre. The dinner begins with chilled tea for all and it is very tasty. Savor it. At the end, you 'll have an opportunity to order more tea. Each blend is unique. I recommend any of it. 4) Price: It 's $245 a person for the tasting menu and additional prices for drinks, but for a quality dinner experience, it could be more expensive. We found it to be a fair price, especially for a special occasion. 5) Space: It 's beautiful! The design is not ornate, but rather simple, making it classy. There are two unisex restrooms in the back. When you sit down, you 're offered small stools to place your phones, belongings, etc. 6) Neighborhood: Inside an alley, there 's much to explore nearby from other top restaurants, cafes, and historic homes. We usually find street parking nearby by the Georgetown Waterfront Park. Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
