We came at 10:30AM on a Saturday for brunch. We were the ONLY party there for 2 hours, until we left at 12:30. There was one waitress and one person in the kitchens and maybe a manager on site. Literally no other people came into the restaurant while we were there. The service was incredibly slow (likely based on how little staff was there), but it was good. The $30 bottle of champagne with brunch is a good deal for 5 people. Never been to brunch in NoVA and been the only people in a restaurant, it was as odd. Other than the service, it was ok. Probably won’t go again.

Took us a while to be seated despite it not being busy, then we were seated at a booth with a serving tray on it and no silverware or plates. The waiter was nice and came to take our drinks and appetizer order, which was the calamari. The calamari came out very quickly (it was fine), but our wine never came and our waiter didn’t return to our table for about 30 minutes. When he did and we informed him of our missing wine, he went and got it then took our order, the lobster mac and cheese and burger. Another 30 minutes later he came and told us the food order wasn’t put in, so it took another 15-20 after that to get the food which was subpar. The lobster mac had little flavor outside the lobster seasoning, and the burger ingredients seemed low quality. The price did not align with the experience we had, which was frustrating because it looked really good online and we were hoping we’d found a new casual place.

Terrible experience - asked for a table, waitress placed us in a booth. Moved ourselves to a empty table. The waitress messed up the order. Had to take it four times and still messed it up. Food was over cooked. Service was slow. Never again.
