In sum, was totally happy with my order. Packaged well and delivered hot. And it was packed with yummy goodness!

There were 6 of us and we had about 1.5 hour wait... for such a busy restaurant, we were ok waiting and our flight wasn't for several hours. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Once in, they stored our luggage in a closet behind the host station. I thought that was very nice as we didn't know where we'd be putting it. Our server was very friendly and offered recommendations. We ordered a few bottles of mimosas and they came with 3 juices. (calamansi was my favorite juice) we also had hibiscus lemonade and Hawaiian Punch. I had LOADED BREAKFAST BISCUITS and it was very delicious. I subbed regular sausage for turkey and it was on the side. The picture doesn't do it justice because I found myself wanting to try and recreate this recipe at home. The vibes were good. Food was delicious and the server was amazing. Would come back here.

Service was a little slow at first, but the food definitely made up for it. The chicken & waffles were incredible: juicy, tender chicken with a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside waffle. The shakshuka was equally flavorful and had me feeling like I wasn't even in the DMV! If you're looking for a unique brunch spot, definitely add this one to your list. **I'd recommend making a reservation**, especially with the foot traffic from the nearby convention center.

I also appreciated that they have ginger shots, a variety of bowls and smoothies that we could explore on a future visit. Overall, a am dunk for our crew!

Stepping…read moreinto the restaurant, we were greeted by one of the more unfriendly hosts/cashier I have encountered in a long time. She seemed to act as though our simple questions about what to order and what's popular in the menu was an inconvenience to her, although we indicated it was our first time at the restaurant. We ordered our food with the host/cashier and waited at our table for the food to be delivered. My companion's food was delivered and the server asked us if there was anything else. I said my food hadn't come and she asked me what I ordered. I told her it was the Greek goddess. I had to wait quite a long time for my meal to arrive and when it did, the server placed the plate on the table, grabbed the table number and walked away.No apology for the extended wait, no, "enjoy your meal." It was quite rude. The Greek goddess was pretty bland and my friend's soup was boring. The Falafel pita was ok. We have lots of options for lunch in Washington DC. I will not return to this establishment, ever.

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not. I knew I wanted a burger but was struggling with choosing which one. Hubs knew he wanted the Cheesesteak and knew I wanted fries. I went with the Smokehouse burger. We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

As soon as we arrived for our reservation and sat down, we were wished happy anniversary by the hostess and our waitress. For cocktails, my wife got a cantaloupe cobbler and I got the pornstar martini without the caviar. Both drinks were great, we ended up sharing another cantaloupe cobbler since that's a drink we've never seen before. For food, we shared the cesare salad and the famous lasagna. The cesare salad was really good with the absolute perfect amount of Parmesan cheese. We really enjoyed it but next time we come we'd try other things. Now for the lasagna. It was absolutely incredible. As we were eating it, we were joking of ordering another one just after our first bite. It was the best lasagna we've ever had and I've had some pretty great lasagna before. For dessert, we shared the vanilla and cantaloupe swirl ice cream. It was amazing. The cantaloupe was so different and just such a great idea especially for the summer. They also brought out a mini chocolate mouse cake with a candle in it and a card for our anniversary. I'm not much for cake but this was light and decadent. It was a very sweet thing for the restaurant to do. We cannot wait for our next time back in DC to come back here. It is a must try.

I found this restaurant at the last minute and boy am I glad we did!…read more We arrived at around 7:45 and the place was packed. The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist. Since the restaurant is connected to a food hall of sorts, she recommended we grab a drink there while we wait. Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal. If you're looking for excellent Italian food in DC without breaking the bank, look no further than Caruso's grocery! However, I'd recommend reserving ahead of time because it's certainly not a secret. LOL

We we sat down the waitress was very friendly and welcoming. She knew alot about the menu items and such. As soon as she handed me the wine menu and saw Chianti as one of the wines, I didnt hesitate to get a bottle for the table (I love Chianti with a story behind it). We ordered the Creamy Burrata, with Grilled Bread and four cheese sauce and the calamari for the appitizers. All of the appetizers were amazing and Im a sucker for grilled crushy bread. For the main course i ordered the Trout Piccata. The fish was cooked to perfection and the veggies were well seasoned. My friends ordered the chicken piccata, Caruso Alfredo and baked Cavatelli. Everything was good. Next up we ordered the butterfinger sundae, Nutella cannoli and tiramisu. The sundae base is chocolate ice cream. If you are fan of chocolate ice cream you will love the sundae. Overall great experience and I will definitely return!
