An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

    Always enjoyable. Our group of four had wonderful dinners. You can always count on a great meal. Parking space - not so much. It was a bit too loud this time. Young girls celebrating birthdays.

    Our second visit here. The menu is varied, just imaginative enough and inclusive of something for everyone. Four of us all agreed that our different choices were outstanding, not just good. Our server was knowledgeable about what comprised each dish and was attentive to our needs. What's more, the restaurant is quiet enough for conversation, in a very pleasant atmosphere. If this restaurant were on Connecticut Avenue, it would be packed all the time. Lucky for us, we can count on getting a table next time.
