"To whom is may concern, I am reaching out to you to express my disappointment and hurt in the actions of your co owner Peter on the night of November 14th. On November 14th, my family and I went to your establishment around 8p to celebrate my husband and I marriage. My family had been to your restaurant and even considered it “one of their favorite spots.” So they were excited for us to try your establishment out. Unfortunately, this visit was like no other visit they had there and this will be my husband and I first and last time visiting. We were having a pretty good experience, the food was good. There were a few hiccups with food and drink not being to our liking, but not anything to turn us off from the restaurant. The server was not to our liking. There was a disconnect and she seem to not want to serve us at some point. We still were looking past this and continued the night. In the early part of 9p we ask for the check and the co owner Peter bought the check out himself. He reached over my husbands food as he was eating, no face mask and places the check on our table and walks away. We pay $320 at your establishment and tipped the waitress what we seen fit for her service. I completely understand how tips work and what they mean to server. However, my family and I do not and will never tip a person generously for poor work. We left and waited for the elevator for all of 3 5 minutes. Once entering, Co owner Peter steps on the elevator with us and starts questioning us about his server tip in a annoyed manner. At this time, we are unaware who Peter is and why we are being approached if we paid our bill. We asked him what was the problem and he states that “tips are 20% and the tip is not included in the check.” Peter rides the elevator all the way down with us and being pushy about his server tip. We leave the building, but go back to understand and record Peter’s unprofessionalism to have video evidence. Peter refuses to come from the back like we’re attempting to attack him and we leave. As we pull up we see 2 police cars and 1 officer on a bike going into the building. So we park and we go back in as well to speak to the officers about how we were handled. Someone called the police on us stating “they were having a altercation with a group.” There was never an altercation with us and Peter. We wanted to know why we were handled in the manner in which we were. I never leave reviews, but I will be leaving a review on everything I possibly can because I cannot express enough how embarrassing, hurt and confused my family and I as well left your establishment. I do not want to pull the race card because as stated before my family swore by your establishment food and service up until this point. However, I cannot help but wonder why the police was called when there was no altercation. Peter started a conversation that we wanted clarity on. He got to speak his mind and left, but when we went to understand why we were treated like we did not just spend $320 at your establishment. He acted as if he was targeted, when in actuality. Peter targeted us! He never stated who he was even when he placed the check on our table WITHOUT a mask while there is food still being consumed, he did not introduce himself as the co owner before he approached us about a TIP. Not the $320 bill, A tip! I’m so disappointed and this really ruined a wonderful celebration. I felt you all should be made aware of the face and type of person that is n the front line of your company and if Peter see this email you should be ashamed. I will be contacting Alcoholic Beverage Regulation administration (ABRA) regarding you all face mask policy. Per CDC guidance and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's executive order, all individuals over age 2 are required to wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Masks must be always worn while in our restaurants, except while eating and drinking”"

The food was simply ok. The wait time from greeting until we got our water was a bit long, considering there was no one else in the restaurant. I forgot to take a picture of food, but I took a picture my dessert...it was ok. I'm not sure if I would come here again.

we went to ivy city smokehouse on the rave recommendation of a friend and description of her smoked fishing board for two and we were still blown away how good it was. so amazing quality and so a good offer. if they want good smoked fish, this is the place. Stop looking for something else.
Dina
here for a brunch looking for something hard to fuel for a long run and that was it! the crab benedikt was delicious and the santa fe bowl had so much taste! I was a little surprised that she no longer brunchy type cocktails, but I took it as a sign to just hydrate. I'm sure we're going back!

This is my third or fourth time at this restaurant and I will say the food is amazing and consistent with taste portion size. At times the service is a little bit hectic but if you’re patient it’s worth it. My go to dish are the garlic shrimp which is phenomenal and the Bronzino stuffed with crab meat. The cob salad is humongous! View menu

This is my first time at this spot. Look it was some good food. The only the Lox and bagel is better at another local place but that's here nor there right now. However the price for the food is amazing. The portion sizes are good enough to fill you up and it had me full. I did try the wings, salmon burger, po boy, and chicken sandwich. This far I'm liking it. So I have to come back for more. The staff was really friendly and the ambience is nice as well. There's a fire pit outside that people can sit at. Also the parking was not too bad. Remember it's DC and parking will always be an issue. I'm definitely going to go back and update my review.
