The pork all but fell apart when you went to cut it with a fork and had some amazing flavor profiles. The chicken was also delicious. Perfectly roasted and seasoned and with all the sides it really made me wish I could have kept eating. We finished off with a desert which was a bit smaller than I had hoped but still delicious and they were able to accommodate for a nut allergy which was much appreciated.

My wife and I were initially very excited about trying this Michelin star restaurant; however that was short lived. Reservations were made a month in advance and confirmed a week prior. We were guaranteed a nice table in the dining room. My wife is extremely gluten intolerant and asked numerous questions regarding this prior to confirming our reservation. The manager on the phone stated not a problem and our menu would be marked gf and ensured no cross contamination. When we arrived we were seated at the bar (first red flag). Our waiter was a bartender who only came to our table twice- once with a cocktail second to take our order. When placing our order the waiter/bartender clearly has no idea what was gluten free and ignored us when we requested assistance with the menu. We made the best guess as we could and went from there. We asked to keep a menu to order a variety of dishes to share in which the waiter proceeded to take our menus anyway. That was the last time we saw him. Other staff brought food to our table. We attempted to get someone’s attention numerous time for wine service with no avail. The food was good but had to request another staff for a desert that again no questions were answered. Summary food was good but not at the level of a Michelin star- service was extremely sub par after we even tried to get a server’s attention. I guess good news is we had anticipated spending twice what we did; however with no service that didn’t occur.

On the downside, they could use some air conditioning as it feels a bit stuffy inside. Also, parking can be a challenge since it's in DC.
