Excellent food and a great atmosphere. I was very impressed with the portion sizes, you get a lot more than many other fine dining restaurants would give. I highly recommend the manilla clams as an appetizer, they are some of the best I've had in a very long time. I opted for the twilight dinner with bolognese al forno as the entree, which was also fantastic. I will definitely be stopping in again on my next trip to Washington.

I just read your follow up. The waitress DID NOT remove the filet from the bill!!! I would have mentioned that in my review if she had done that. After I complained about the filet she said she would mention it to the cook and never returned until we were ready to leave. Very disappointed in your response. I used to love this place. Went there last week and had filet mignon. Absolutely no taste, had a rough time cutting it with a steak knife because it was so tough and a third of it was fat. I've never seen fat in a filet before. Showed the waitress how hard it was to cut and the large portion of fat. Her only comment was she would tell the cook. Never heard back from her.

Some tasty food in the bar. Feels like the 1980s, which may or may not be your thing.

Had a great evening. I had the rigatoni, when it says hot, they mean it. Now, it's cayenne so it's a different type of spicy. Very well done in my opinion, I should asked for a bit more cheese but it was great. The wife had the pacific coast crab croquettes. For the appetizers we had the bruschetta bread. Very well done as well, along with the ciabatta bread. I had the house salad with extra tomatoes, one of the fresh tomatoes had a bad spot in it. I realize that arugula is not for me hahaha, I will try the Cesar salad next time. I think the tomatoes were just off this night, because the crab croquettes were bedded on a couple that were over ripe, but I will say they quickly replaced them with fresh ones which were delicious as well. We had a great time and will be back.
