A friend was super excited to try out this place a week ago Friday. We made it in there early so we could sample the happy hour specials. We are all yelpers, so the two of us who read the yelp reviews were slightly concerned about this place, but we figured that since we were at the District, we could always find another place to go....
and that is what we had to do.
We ordered chicken sliders and calamari to share. Two of us ordered a bartender recommended martini. It tasted like grape juice. We both drank it, but didn't really want to. Third friend ordered drink from the happy hour menu. It had such a bitter after taste, she asked for another drink.
The chicken sliders were good. The calamari.....it was OK. The sauce was really odd. Instead of a marinara, it was more cocktail/fishy tasting. All three of us tried it three or four times trying to guess what it was. Finally, we gave up.
We were having a girls night out and when our fourth showed up, we were ready to bail. Instead, we went to Elephant Bar and dropped $150. We wanted to like this new place, but it didn't live up to the good reviews.
