Leave a ReviewGreat choice for a tradeshow in DC. Lively and we made some good picks on the menus side. Flavorful and plenty of food.
The service was a little slow and we sat there a while before someone came to get drinks, but once we started it was great. The food was amazing and the perfect location for people who are open and willing to share food. Sangria pitchers, the paradilla steak and seafood paella - absolutely amazing.
