Our waitress read the room immediately. With a very hungry pregnant lady at the table she prioritized the Parker house rolls without being asked. This kind of attention to detail sets the tone. We later learned she was a fellow Cancer with a birthday coming up. Cancer energy is real!!! The food and drinks did not disappoint. Asparagus, calamari, shrimp cocktail, coal roasted oysters, chicken chermoula, and lump crab gratin. Worth every penny. One tip worth sharing, ask for a bit of sea salt for the chicken. The first taste lacked it and that small addition made all the difference. We were five deep which honestly matched the energy of most tables around us. The space was bright and airy and the round tables made for great socializing, easy sharing, and yes some excellent boomerang pics. Checkout was seamless. Splitting the check evenly with tap to pay right at the table got us out quickly and on to the next stop. Puddin is a crowd favorite so we left room to run over there even though the dessert menu at Cordelia looked amazing. From a post embassy hang to friends up from Richmond, Cordelia meets every occasion at the table. We said a table worth coming back to again and again. Visit two confirmed it.

He was a big reason why I would return. For appetizers, we tried the Crab Gratin and Cinnamon Roll, and both were amazing. We would definitely order them again! We also did the tiki bottomless cocktails, and they were absolutely worth it. The drinks were high quality, creative, and there was something for everyone. For the entrees, everyone had a mix of favorites and dishes they liked less. The biggest highlights were the Steak and Eggs and the Crab Benedict. Both were tasty, although the portions were just okay. On the other hand, the Shrimp and Grits were a bit of a letdown. While the dish tasted good, the portion was surprisingly small and did not feel like a full entrée. We left feeling unsatisfied from a meal standpoint, so unfortunately, I would not recommend that dish. Overall, we will absolutely be coming back to try their dinner menu soon!

For an oyster lover, when I paid literally $70 for a dozen of nice sized oysters... I was kind of taken aback ( I've dined at 5-star restaurants that don't charge nearly this much... a dozen of top of the line oysters normally run between $48-$56 ) On the other hand, the crab cake and fries hit the spot. The highlight of the meal was actually the fries ( delicious ) The service at the Cowbell was friendly and accommodating for sure... just not sure if doing anything outside of the platters makes financial sense. Union Market has a very vibrant atmosphere and the Cowbell lends its own unique taste to the overall ambiance.

It costs $40 for a flat rate and that was that; the walk in took maybe 4 minutes. I also wanted to highlight their parking situation because I frequently have a lot of parking issues when trying to access DC. But we walked inside, had an easy access to the event, and as the entered.. the vibes welcomed us! Great dj, great drinks, and great friends! I think I saw that these R&B events are monthly or continuously scheduled out, so if you love the vibes, go to Ivy City!

On July 2, around 3:00 p.m., a friend and I visited this restaurant for lunch. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich without the bun, and it came with a side of fries. Everything seemed normal at the time, but later that day I became extremely ill. I have since been diagnosed with food poisoning, and more than 48 hours later I am still dealing with the symptoms. Based on the timing of my illness and my medical evaluation, I believe this meal was the source of my food poisoning. This experience has been physically exhausting and has completely changed my confidence in eating here. Food safety should always be a top priority, and unfortunately my experience has left me very concerned. I sincerely hope the restaurant reviews its food handling and preparation practices so no one else has to go through what I've experienced. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend dining here.

Anywho, ordered on door dash for pick up and it was ready by the time the app said it would be. I got a half lb of shrimp (head on) with the world special sauce and half a dozen lemon pepper wings. All my food was piping hot and high quality. Shrimp was sweet and firm, so you know it was fresh and cooked perfectly. The world special sauce isn't a flavor explosion like the whole shabang at Boiling Crab, but it was still enjoyable. It came with a corn on the cob and potato, but no sausages Wings were crunchy and good sized. The lemon pepper seasoning was light, so let em know if you prefer heavy seasoning. The inside is small with only 4 stools, but it's a great upgrade from the interior of Rhode Island Ave Express. Dessert options don't look that great. Service was also friendly. It definitely wins on proximity for me and I would order from here again.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take many photos because my phone was dying, but the hostess was incredibly kind and offered to charge my phone for me in their space. That small gesture made the experience even better. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The biscuits were perfectly done--not dry at all, but buttery, soft, and even better with the pimento cheese spread. The combination was amazing! My steak was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, while the broccoli had the perfect crisp texture that added a nice balance to the meal. The restaurant itself has a beautiful rustic yet modern atmosphere. The dim lighting creates a cozy feel, with most of the brightness coming from the natural sunlight that fills the space.

Our waiter did that. I asked for recommendations and he explained everything on the menu to us. Then I asked a specific question about a dish and he knew the answer immediately.

The steak was cooked PERFECTLY and was wonderful. Overall, I loved Pacci's. It has a laid back family vibe yet the food is fantastic. One more thing: the neighborhood Pacci's is in is beautiful. Pacci's itself is in a very rustic nice building, right across from many beautifully painted rowhomes and brownstones.

Here's what I ordered: Fried gizzard and liver Chicken and cat fish box Mac and cheese Greens Okra Fries The food was hot and every flavorful.

The Mac and cheese surprisingly was good. It was made with real cheese and was definitely seasoned. The fish and chicken were also well seasoned. I would be willing to give the greens another try.
