-1 stars. Never going back. I don't live in DC, but we walked past this place when they were closed and waited for it to open while strolling Georgetown. When we got there, I went to the bathroom which was down a flight of stairs. When I entered it, I picked up an intense smell of mold. Entire men's bathroom was filthy. When I returned, my girlfriend had a singular glass of water beside her. She later told me they gave her one and they wanted to wait until I was back to give the second. Already, weird. We started to look at the menus and she wanted pasta. We settled on a gnocchi w/ bolognese and I thought we should get a small side of spaghetti to go with it. The man serving us brought me my own water and it was good. Normal. When ordering, the man asked if we wanted a side salad to go with it. I hadn't seen a price of it on the menu, so I assumed it was complimentary. We agreed. After ordering these 3 items, my girlfriend immediately noticed something wrong with her singular water. Mine tasted normal, tasteless, but she kept insisting hers was gross. I thought nothing of it until later during the meal when she persistently said it was bad. It took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive after opening with completely empty business besides us. They scrolled the tv, watching soccer without asking how our food was once. The food wasn't bad per se, but the water my girlfriend got was putting her off, especially since they only brought HER a water. We are a biracial couple and I thought it was weird she only had HER water. Mine was fine, but I finally gave in and had to see why her water was gross. Maybe it was hard? I didn't know, until I tasted it and tasted that bathroom all over again. The water literally tasted like MOLD. I was disgusted and we were both immediately put off. When I confronted the server about this, he did promptly change the glass and filled it with new water. Which tasted fine, but by then she had already drank half of it. When I got the bill, I was greeted to a large number compared to what I was expecting. Not only were the side salad and side spaghetti an extra $13 and $15 respectively (not only the menu by the way), but there is an additional gratuity of about $11 totaling about $71. A gratuity is insane to have when there is only 2 of us, that is commonly only for parties of 6 or more. As it should be. Then on top of it, the check comes with a chance to tip. He upsold on the salad that I expected to be complimentary, charged basically the price of an appetizer for a small bowl of marinara spaghetti (probably cost less than a dollar to make by the way), came with bread and gave only my girlfriend water that tasted like it came straight of out the moldy toilet bowl in my bathroom, scrolling tv and not asking us how the meal was or being servers, and on top of it expecting a tip when there was no clarity for any of it. I'm even more disgusted because my girlfriend is now sick this evening, the same day we had this meal. Genuinely, this place needs its food inspected and deserves to be looked at top to bottom by a third party. I have never encountered mold in drinking water like this before and neither should you. read more
