Busboys and Poets

I can't take credit for this delicacy. I read someone else's review. It is my new favorite thing. I get the vegetable quinoa bowl and add blackened shrimp. The way they season this thing should be a crime! I am not vegan nor vegetarian. I gravitate to this meal option more than anything else now. The eggplant is not pictured. Sometimes the kitchen doesn't season that item well and it is my least favorite part of the bowl when that occurs. Drink featured is the poet mojito.

Really enjoyed the food at this Busboys and Poets location. My friend and I had the shrimp and grits, the lamb burger and for dessert, chocolate cake. The food was made with fresh ingredients, seasoned well and tasted great. The wait staff were attentive and helpful. The restaurant was busy at the time we visited but we did not wait long to be seated or served. We ate indoors but there is Lots of outdoor seating as well.

I loved the concept and ambiance of this restaurant. The menu is varied and has great potential. My husband ordered the Western Omelette. It was packed with veggies and was delicious. His toast and potatoes were not hot. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. My food was barely warm. The poached eggs had runny whites. Even the service was luke warm as we had to wave our server down a couple of times for coffee refills etc.

Poet Inspired Dining. 3 simple words express this modern take on art and food. On this day I had Brunch but Lunch and Dinner options are where this place shines. They have several gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. DC inspired cocktails may also be found in the menu. It appeared to me that the Servers are a bit overworked due to understaffing issues most likely caused by the pandemic. Don't let that stop you from giving this place a try. Parking isn't too hard to find as there is a public underground garage attached to the building.
