(We drove to nearby River Terrace to use the picnic tables in the park along the Anacostia River.) Everything was tasty, especially the French Toast. Portions are pretty hefty and the prices more affordable for D.C. We found the staff friendly. They have many regulars!

Everything was well organized so the line went by quickly. Kristely at the front desk was super helpful and also helped me out with a glass of wine. This will definitely be my new hangout spot to come and enjoy a drink while I indulge in a new book or two. Thank you so much Solid State for a memorable experience.
