The food is amazing, the cocktails are creative and unique, and the service is top-tier. Nina, the owner, was so warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The ambiance is super cozy with old-school R&B playing in the background, and I loved that there are games on every table it makes the whole vibe feel fun and relaxed. One thing to note: the food does take a little while to come out, but that's because everything is made fresh to order, and you can absolutely taste the difference. My favorites were the Jerk Salmon Pasta spicy, rich, and packed with flavor. The shrimp deviled eggs were perfectly done, and the bread pudding is an absolute must have to finish your meal. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

The…read morerestaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, and the food presentation was impressive and thoughtfully done. The food itself was good, but not amazing -- a few dishes could have used a bit more seasoning and flavor depth. The biggest challenge was the service speed. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, which we could see was due to staffing shortages. I will say our waitress/bartender/busser was doing her absolute best and remained friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. She was clearly wearing multiple hats, and the restaurant could really benefit from additional staff support. Overall, I'd come back for the ambiance and drinks, but I hope they improve staffing and tighten up the kitchen seasoning.

Each dish had its own unique flavor, but the Chicken and Waffles stood out as a perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the Rockfish was incredibly fresh. To finish, I had the Chocolate Cake and Bread Pudding. Both were rich and comforting, and I would definitely order them again. What really made the experience special was the customer service.

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!

I ordered the haymaker punch which was really good. Strong and flavorful but not too sweet. I also prefer the hot mess tots and they were anything but a hot mess.

I'd recommend for an evening happy hour drink but maybe try something other than the tots.

I also swapped my regular fries for truffle fries, which were a great choice. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken with biscuits and got the sausage gravy on the side. The chicken was fried perfectly with a nice crunch, the biscuits were soft, and the sausage gravy was so good you could honestly eat it by itself. My daughter got the mac and cheese with a side of fruit and cleaned her plate.. no crumbs left! I'd definitely come back, especially to try their breakfast/brunch since they serve it all day. Overall, I'd recommend Ted's for a solid breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We tried the bread service as a starter. I think the bread had a soft inside texture but too hard on the exterior. 5/10. We tried two of their bar bites: Sautéed shrimp (5/10) and General Tso Chicken Skewers (7/10). I think the shrimp sauce was bland and the chicken was a fried chicken tender + sauce. We had the Chicken Ceasar salad (8/10) and Braised Short ribs (8/10). The salad was a standard salad and the short ribs were tender. I enjoyed the short ribs with the mashed potatoes and substituted the brussel sprouts with broccoli. I think the broccoli could've been seasoned to improve. We both had two of their $10 specialty cocktails. Both were excellent.

They also had lattes, coffees, and teas. They have an outdoor patio overlooking Rhode Island Avenue and seating inside with their nternet if you are looking for a workspace, meeting place, or coffee/snack shop.

I ordered the Breakfast Wrap, which was fantastic along with a Granny Smith apple lemonade. I would've never thought to put those two items together but it was easily one of the best lemonades I've ever tried. I had to order a second one when my daughter decided my drink was now for her. Speaking of, my daughter ordered the Nutella Stuffed French Toast and rated it a 100/10. While waiting for my order, I had a chance to speak with one of the head chef's and he told me about the culinary program their offer to teach refugees culinary skills. I loved hearing that tidbit about the shop and found it truly admirable. Overall, my only gripe is the street parking situation can be a little tough but it wasn't too bad on this particular morning. I would absolutely return.
