JamesJames: Hundreds of candles help create the romantic vibe & ambiance found in this former warehouse space. I highly recommend the duck, which is absolutely delectable.

Carrie B.Carrie Bevis: The duck wings are out of this world, almost candy-like. The bison sirloin and tuna were both fantastic and expertly complimented with seasoning or sides. Save room for dressert.

Brant M.Brant McQuitty: The starters, decor, outdoor seating and servers are fantastic. The bacon wrapped quail stuffed with dates was lovely.

ConnieConnie: Great drinks & food for happy hour! Very cute atmosphere!

Washington PostWashington Post: This isn’t just a good restaurant, it’s a good neighbor. Instead of a happy hour, the restaurant hosts a “community hour”; a percentage of the proceeds from snacks and drinks goes to a local school. Read more.

Harmony C.Harmony Cannon: The lamb appetizer with ricotta gnocchi was awesome and the tri tips entree was my favorite of all we tried

EaterEater: Attached to the 404 Hotel and housed in a re-purposed storage container, it has been drawing crowds since opening. Matt Bolus is turning out creative dishes using products like house-made burrata.

CNNCNN: For his Tomato Galette, Matt envelops lemony ricotta in a toasted cornmeal crust, and piles on heirloom tomatoes—a twist on tomato pie without any pretension. Read more.
