I will say though next time for the eggs Benedict to make it less salty, ask for the everything seasoning on the side. Chicken and waffles was the star though. Perfectly crispy and tasty waffles and the chicken tasted so good. The restaurant has floor to ceiling windows and when the sun is out it can be blinding. It's a beautiful decorated dining room. Just have to move your chair or duck your head in and out. Our server was a bit slow to get to our table but the food came out quickly and was slow refilling our drinks but it was busy. She was very nice lady and pleasant.

The second visit, I dined for breakfast and was very surprised at how much I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the shrimp & grits and a mint tea. I felt the waiting staff was lacking but it only appeared to be 2 people serving the whole restaurant.

Second, we had two kids, and you know as four-year olds they can be rambunctious and it was the perfect setting for a family meal. Third one of the first questions my server asked was what are we celebrating and I didn't think anything of it because we really weren't there to celebrate birthdays but since she asked, I said well actually we do have two birthdays! So she made sure to bring pop tarts for the kids at the end of the meal, complementary and they sang to us! Now I had a very long workday and the traffic and parking didn't help so when I saw they had a mimosa great I ordered it and it was in front of me within a few minutes! Second she mentioned how happy hour was ending very soon, but if we wanted the appetizer sampler, it was $18 and we said absolutely thanks so much. We also put in the kids order and they were able to eat pretty quickly after ordering because the service was very good. The adults ordered the Turkish eggs, which were very good although I might say the yogurt was a tad garlicky for my taste, but some people might be in for that. But otherwise great presentation very tasty dish. My husband enjoyed the chicken pickled sandwich and said it was tasty as well. So honestly, five stars for service, four for food, and five for hospitality. Definitely would return. Great experience.

Service can be slow, and you may notice that some guests seem to receive quicker attention, better service, and attention than others no matter the order of arrival. The good news? If you're with the right group of friends, you'll laugh, dance, and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait with your clear plastic cups ofr mimosas because every table but yours is worth a proper drinking glass The food and music make this spot worth experiencing at least once.

We happened upon this place when we were in the area after dinner. It was a Saturday night and it…read morewas surprisingly pretty quiet when we arrived, which I think was around 9pm. We sat at the bar near the back and were immediately greeted. The bartenders were super kind and quick. They chatted with us, but didn't linger. It was a great mix. They also ensured our drinks, including our water, were always full. They also brought out some snacks (on the house) for us. Music was on, but not too loud. We stayed for awhile, and pretty soon we looked up and were like, oh my gosh, this place is packed! Pretty soon there were people everywhere and it was so loud. We decided at that point we wanted to head out, but the bartenders still made sure to say goodbye. We will definitely be back when we are back in DC. Great vibes, atmosphere, and service!

Stopped by The Haymaker while hanging out around the H Street Corridor with my lady. I had passed…read morethis place before but had never actually gone in, so we decided to stop in and check out the happy hour situation. Drink-wise, we had the frozen mango margarita, which was very tasty, and my lady had the pisco sour, which was also really good and refreshing. For food, they team up with Little Miner Taco. We started with a small order of beef nachos. The flavor was definitely there, but my only complaint was that the toppings were a little underwhelming portion-wise. I would've liked a little more meat and toppings spread throughout the nachos. We also ordered the three-taco meal and went with the steak tacos. Those were absolutely amazing. Great flavor and definitely something I would order again. My only issue with the tacos is how the ordering works. With the three-taco meal, all three tacos have to be the same flavor. Since it was our first time trying the food, I would've really liked the option to mix and match three different tacos. They do sell tacos individually, but at around $7.50-$8 each, buying three singles ends up costing considerably more than the three-taco meal, which was around $20. They also offer a larger variety pack, but you can't substitute any of the taco choices in that either. I think allowing customers to mix and match would make it much easier to try different things, especially on a first visit. Atmosphere-wise, it was cool and laid-back. We went pretty early, around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Our bartender, who I believe was V, was very helpful, attentive, and provided great customer service. Overall, I definitely enjoyed The Haymaker and would go back. There were a few other things on the menu that caught my eye that I'd like to try next time. Aside from wanting a few more toppings on the nachos and a little more flexibility with the taco options, everything was solid. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 for me.

Such a vibe! I was…read moreoriginally considering this place for a birthday brunch, but I couldn't quite get a feel for how they accommodate larger parties, so I decided to check it out for happy hour first. We were not disappointed! The happy hour menu definitely delivers. We tried the Quiet Crab, chicken sandwich, shrimp with mumbo sauce, and fries. The Quiet Crab was the star of the food lineup. Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the happy hour portion only comes with one because I definitely could have eaten more! I would also love to see a basket of regular hush puppies on the menu because they absolutely nailed that combination of sweet corn flavor and a crispy outside. And the music? Sultry, sexy, and exactly right for the space. The playlist was giving Afrobeats, smooth vibes, and grown-up happy hour with tracks like Burna Boy's "Vanilla," Tems' "Ordinary People," Asake's "Organise," JayO's "High Heels," and "Wahala Riddim." It added so much to the atmosphere and made this the kind of place where you want to settle in, order another drink, and stay awhile. Now, the Beltway Mule made by Kennedy was THE star of the evening. Delicious, perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice, and very fitting for my hometown of Washington, DC. Speaking of Kennedy, she is an absolute gem! Her energy and mixology skills really made the experience. If you can pull up when she's behind the bar, I highly recommend it. She was easily one of the highlights of our visit. Great food, great drinks, sexy music, and an overall great vibe. And it's an InKind dining pick, which makes it even better!

He's also a sommelier, so he personally poured and explained our wine, which was a nice touch. The chicken and salad we were served were actually pretty good. But after some of the disappointing dishes at the previous tour stops, I honestly found myself wondering...was it really that good, or was it just better than what I'd already been eating all day? Either way, I cleaned my plate. The space, however, is TINY--both upstairs and downstairs. The outdoor dining and bar area is much larger and definitely seems like the better option when the weather cooperates. And listen...after a full food tour, I absolutely HATED climbing those stairs! It also made me wonder how guests with mobility challenges are expected to navigate this space. Seriously...how are some of these restaurants accommodating ADA accessibility? On a positive note, the bathrooms were nice and well maintained. Would I return? Maybe...I'm not exactly rushing back, but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Staff were friendly, and it was a quiet morning to start off my day. Thanks for having me!! I hope to be back to enjoy the rooftop at night, or when the sun comes back up. :)

After some back and forth they offered us an ugraded room which had a king bed and sofa sleeper. It worked just fine for our purposes. The food at the hotel was decent but I wish they had more vegetarian or vegan options. Overall, we would go to this location again.

When asked how everything was (because we didn't see her from the time the food was dropped off until we needed the check) our response was just average. With a giggle her response was " well it is a bar". Hmm. Does being a bar mean not good food? Maybe ask for feedback as to why it was average. Anywho, the fact that we were two of 4 customers in the place should have told us all we needed to know. The burger was small and overcooked. Dry. The onion rings were good. The cheese sticks were what you would expect. So would I go there for a meal again? Definitely not.

​The food here genuinely hit the spot, but the surcharge and tipping setup at the end left a bit of…read morea sour taste. ​We ordered a solid spread across the table: ​Steak Frites: Cooked just right, tender, and the herbaceous chimichurri sauce added great flavor. The fries were hot, golden, and crispy. ​Chicken Pasta: Rich, creamy sauce balanced nicely by the capers and fresh lemon squeeze, with generous portions of chicken. ​Caesar Salad: Crisp romaine, plenty of parmesan, and crunchy croutons--classic and refreshing. ​Ted's Tart: The nostalgic rainbow sprinkles with whipped cream made for a fun, sweet finish to the meal. ​The real frustration came with the check. Between the added service fee/surcharge and the prompt for standard tipping on top of that, the final bill felt disproportionately high for casual neighborhood dining. Hidden fees stacking up on top of regular menu prices takes away from what would have otherwise been an easy 4- or 5-star meal. ​Great kitchen output, but management really needs to rethink the fee creep.
