| - Finally tried this place in The District because I heard good things and it's close to home. The hubby & I sat out on the patio; the ambiance was nice.
I ordered the butternut squash soup and my husband ordered the lobster bisque for appetizers . The squash soup had a really rich and flavorful taste, which included mushrooms & shredded beef that was super tender. The combination was unique & very good. The lobster bisque was not that great; it had an overwhelming seafood taste. Obviously, you will taste the lobster, but it was overpowering and very fishy. My husband was not a fan of it either.
I ordered the filet mignon ($30), which came with mashed potatoes flavored with sherry wine. The meal was very average tasting, especially for that price. The wine-flavored potatoes were forgettable; not a good combo and I would never order them again.
My husband ordered flank steak on flatbread, which he said was decent, but didn't say much else about it. For dessert, he ordered the flourless chocolate cake and thought it was the best part of the meal ($10). Our bill came up to $100, which was definitely not worth it.
The food was decent, but there's nothing about the place that is overwhelmingly memorable. There's nothing about the restaurant that would make me ever go back. If someone were to ask me about it, my response would be, 'meh.' Save your money; you are better off putting that money toward a couple tanks of gas or new shoes. I would be surprised if it lasted another year or two.
