The busy, and crowded room was very attractive, and the food was great. The service excelled from the warm greeting to finding us a taxi.

The magic is fading, once again. Still wonderfully attentive service, and a lovely setting, but too short a menu. At 7:30 on a weeknight they were already out of some items! Wonderful lamb, but seemed less well trimmed than before. The price of the evening is steep. A splendid place, that is trying to keep standards high, but having some issues.

Very nice location in Georgetown. Atmosphere very classic and traditional. The food and service were excellent but not outstanding. The dining room was very crowded and we could easily hear every bit of the conversation at the tables next to us.

Cozy Georgetown restaurant. Wonderful food but the service has slipped from a tad from our last visit. Wine list was surprisingly limited from previous visits. Make sure you request the main dining room downstairs, much nicer than the upstairs rooms.
