I really like the place. We have had a number of "bring your own" parties there with 6-8 people, and 10-15 bottles of wine. They wall off the South end for us. Separate menu for bar, with lots of smalls. Nice outdoors.

Many restaurants in DC are dominated by a name brand chef. This place seems to go through chefs to have a new one each time I have been there.

I would recommend you walk 10 blocks east, and eat at Signatures. My current downtown favorite.(901 Penn ave).
