The location in the District is convenient. The ambience of the restaurant is laid out perfectly. Good distance away from other guests so your conversations are private. Even without reservations, we are seated immediately. Our waiter, Jose, pleasantly greets us, takes our drink order and returns. Since it is our first dining experience there, he quickly and efficiently explains how to maneuver the menu, makes excellent suggestions and recommendations. He returns with delicious warm sour dough bread. We had 3 great entrees- steak, tacos and Louie Salad. We shared the warm lemon cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream and fresh fruit. Best dessert I ever had. I know I will come back again for that alone and the impeccable, attentive service of Jose.
