    Loved this patio so much! It was a hot day but the energy on the patio was still wonderful. Our server was very kind and her relaxed energy made the dining experience lovely. The food was delicious and the coffees were refreshing! I loved the variety of vegetarian options I was able to pick from! My friend was able to be accommodated for a gluten intolerance though did say the gf bread was not as crispy as she would have liked. Overall, a great restaurant that I will make sure to return to!

    I called before I came to make sure there was seating, wifi and that they accepted cash (yes, yes, and yes). The girl on the phone was mad cool so I already peeped the vibe. I showed up at 5:50 and was seated outside immediately. It was pretty quiet only a few tables. It filled up fast though within 30 min of me being there. The service was impeccable. It is the most dreamy patio/outdoor seating place I've ever seen. The drinks? Perfect (no ...fr) food? Perfect (I'm so serious) There were a lot of groups, some couples and then there was me lol. I would do it again solo, with my girls or on a date. Mixed crowd, younger twenties up to mid 50's it seemed. I ordered: the Bee #4 to drink (x2) Bowl of fries Salmon crudo Crispy Artichoke 10/10 No notes. No complaints. $110.88 was my total and that is including the 20% service charge (tip?) they put in there. I'm not from here so idk if I was supposed to tip on top of that but I did. Anyways, money well spent!

    This place definitely has a line out the door and is always full. You'll need a reservation ahead of time to get in. I think the servers were pretty nice and quick with service. I had the lamb dinner which was very good and started with the croquettes. The food was all very flavorful and yummy but I felt like the portions were a bit small. It could have been 5 stars if I felt I was given the right portion of food for how expensive it was.

    A fun pretty hip spot nearby DuPont circle, ideal for a lively date or instagrammable girls brunch out. Even when I went during dinner time, the place was packed and lively. There is outdoor and indoor seating. The decor inside is flowery, verging tropical, making for a trendy aesthetic experience. The dinner menu is very compact but all the food was delicious. The hummus specifically is an absolute must try. The workers were very attentive and fast. Looking forward to coming back! Parking: There is very limited street parking available around the corners. Much more recommended to metro here via DuPont circle Wheelchair accessibility: Very limited. The entrance is tiny and many of the seats involve having to go upstairs for them. The bathroom is completely down a set of stairs. However, may be able to eat outside
