"This place is sexy like a Louis Vuitton leather jacket. No bad cocktails, only sultry vibes. Try it all."

"Fantastic staff, good coffee, tasty Flat White."

"Call it historical chic, call it oriental funk, either way, you have to stop in the Pickle Room for Mai Tais, Rueben Egg Rolls, and Smitty’s Burger. Solid drinks, solid food, solid people."

"It’s all about the meatballs - huge and shareable. Fried tagliatelle was ok, there are better pastas on the menu with better flavors. Margherita with burrata is a solid pizza."

"They make an excellent Sazerac. Sharing the sides is an awesome idea when paired with the charcuterie and cheese boards - enough for four and a great diversity of their flavors."

"Well edited and curated exhibits surrounding the presidential portrait gallery. Worth taking the time to browse the small galleries and hang out in the Kogod courtyard."
