I ordered the Lamb Shank (recommended), which was delicious -- the lamb was falling off the bone, surrounded by a nice jus, but the side of wild rice with almonds & cranberries it was accompanied with also hit really well. It was a nice and warm combination on the plate that I wasted no time cleaning. I also started with the bread w/ some olive tapenade, which was very flavorful -- would come back if in the area

I was very frustrated that I couldn't get breakfast because the restaurant opened so late in the morning!! Now, on to the food. I only tried a couple of items. The poutine fries were amazing and I would absolutely order them again. The gravy was divine! We also loved the brussels sprouts. There was so many layers of flavors and the honey added a little something special. I don't remember the name of the shrimp dish we ordered. I wasn't a big fan. It was heavier than I was expecting, despite the fact that there wasn't much to it. However, that's probably a flavor preference on my part and not a fault of the restaurant. Our service was very good. A rain storm had just passed through and the restaurant was very crowded. Nevertheless, the staff handled everything seamlessly.

I'd recommend BOTH the hotel & the restaurant highly. I'm knowingly given it 5 stars because it deserves a higher overall rating! I know it's not fine dining BUT it is delicious & quite the value!

Don't let the French menu intimidate and limit your choices. Instead of enjoying their onion soup which we enjoyed before - we picked the prawn and rice croquettes in saffron rouille- marvelous and chicken liver mouse Foie De Volaille- outstanding. Main course choices of sea bass and mussels were delightful w texture and flavors that were welcoming and filling. The bar is a dynamic center point for the restaurant with high ceiling and lots of natural light pouring into the space. The space can handle large crowds and there are private spaces available. We were in on a late Sunday afternoon and the setting near the window gave us a great view of the well maintained streetscape. We enjoyed a pre dinner Manhattan that was straight up and so refreshing. Polina recommended a Sauvignon Blanc and a Chardonnay that really complimented our main course selections. Parking is plentiful in one of Crystal City's many parking garages and the streetscape is welcoming and smartly designed with colorful plantings.

The bartenders were incredibly friendly and even let us sample a new cocktail they were experimenting with, which was a nice touch. The drinks we ordered were both strong and well-balanced. This was also my first time trying escargot. They serve it deshelled and topped with a flaky puff pastry, which definitely made it less intimidating for a first-timer. It was rich, buttery, and a great introduction to a dish I'd always been hesitant to order. For our meal, we shared the burger and the calamari. The burger was good but didn't really stand out, while the calamari was the surprise favorite. It had a nice crispy texture with just the right amount of heat. For dessert, we tried the rice pudding and the crème brûlée. The rice pudding was light, creamy, and not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. The crème brûlée, however, was a bit of a mixed bag. The caramelized sugar layer was so thick that it was difficult to crack through, and I ended up lifting it off and eating the custard on its own. The custard itself was slightly runnier than I expected, but it was still rich and flavorful. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the cocktail program. I'd definitely come back for happy hour and to work my way through more of the menu.

Service was also pleasant and great. What was lacking was the artwork, historical references, decor, and homage displayed at the other location I visited. Once again, service was great. And the food menu was adequate. They were a few items that were not available, but I was pleased with my meal and accompanying beverage. I ordered the Blackened Salmon entree and tomato soup. The food was tasteful and asparagus not overcooked, just the way I prefer. My beverage was a delicious martini expresso, which I requested that the server make with bourbon instead of vodka. It was not the traditional pairing with fish, but satisfied my need for caffeine in an extremely tasty manner. Due to most restaurants closing fairly early on Sundays, I was appreciative that Bus Boys and Poets were able to provide a substantial meal that was truly satisfying. Its location was corralled to have a semi private dining area with tables around the periphery and a bar in the center. The area was also open to allow viewing by airport patrons in vicinity. Definitely a worthy destination while traveling, and I will visit again.

Glad I went inside and sat at the bar. I was quickly greeted and offered a menu. Asking about the beers on tap, the local lager was recommended and it's cold & refreshing. It was happy hour and there was a small menu with good prices, but I opted for the full menu and selected the O'Malley's Chopped Salad with Chicken. Great salad! It's been a minute since I had Green Goddess dressing. It was perfect with the salad. The interior has an old all wood feeling with the full large wood bar and tin ceiling panels. Interesting. If I am in the area in the future, I will be back. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!
