We all ordered drinks, and my caper martini was delicious. We chose to share appetizers, and both the tuna tartare and the bacon were excellent. The Caesar salad, however, was just okay, with no croutons and mostly cheese, so it felt unbalanced. My friends also shared the nuggets, which they enjoyed. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were great. Unfortunately, the service fell short. It took a long time to get anyone's attention, and we did not have a consistent server throughout the meal.

The potatoes were drenched in oil and overloaded with salt to the point they were inedible. The salmon was also extremely greasy and overly salty.

I spent good money on breakfast and ended up throwing most of it away because the potatoes and salmon were simply too salty to eat. Very disappointing overall.

Finally made it to The Duck & The Peach and I'm already planning my next visit…read more The space strikes that perfect balance. It feels upscale and thoughtfully designed without being stuffy or uncomfortable. The duck absolutely lived up to the hype. I'm usually hesitant ordering duck since it can be undercooked, but this was done perfectly and incredibly flavorful. Easily the standout dish of the night. We also tried a fish dish that was solid, but if you're choosing, go for the duck every time. There's a mushroom appetizer that I wish I could remember the name of because it's a must-order. Same goes for the crudo, which was fresh and delicious. And I have to mention the bread and butter. The pink pumpernickel bread paired with that perfectly whipped butter was unreal. Simple, but done exceptionally well. The whipped mashed potatoes deserve their own moment too. They were so smooth and rich they basically melted in your mouth. And then dessert sealed the deal. The Black Forest cake was absolutely divine. Truly a 1000/10 moment. The only real miss for me came at the very end. They handed out bright red DoorDash bags for leftovers, and it completely clashed with the otherwise polished experience. When I asked about it, I was told they use them because they're free, which honestly made it feel even more out of place. A small detail, but it took away from an otherwise beautifully curated night. Overall, still an amazing dinner. Not sure what took me so long to try this place, but I'll definitely be back.

The Duck & The Peach is clearly going for something. James Beard finalist, named one of DC's 25…read morebest by the Times, Rammy's pastry chef of the year on staff. The room has warmth and intention. They want you to feel like you're at a dinner party. Fine. But we came for brunch, and brunch is where the concept starts to strain a little. The brunch burger is the best example. A burger, by design, is not an upscale item. You can execute it at a high level, but it fights the premise. This one had a dense, undersized patty sitting inside a brioche bun that was doing too much. The bun-to-meat ratio was so off that I finished the patty and kept chewing bun on its own for another few bites. That's not a burger. That's a bread course that happened to contain meat. The steak and eggs were prepared well, no complaints there. And a note on the "fries": they're actually cubed home fries, which caught me off guard, but the portion was bigger than expected and they were solid. The bakery basket was good. The pastry program here has a real reputation and you can taste why, even if nothing in it made me stop mid-bite. The service charge situation is worth knowing about going in. A 20% service charge is added automatically, in lieu of gratuity. At least they're upfront about it on the website, but it's the kind of thing that makes you do math on every item as you read the menu. The food overall is fine. Genuinely fine. Nothing was bad. But for what they're charging in this context, and with the pedigree they're trading on, "fine" doesn't close the loop. DC has no shortage of brunch spots that either deliver more for the price or at least give you one thing you're still thinking about the next day. Nothing here did that. Maybe dinner is a different story. The rotisserie program is what they're really built around, and I'd be willing to find out. But for brunch specifically, I wouldn't prioritize coming back.

I visited at 5 PM on a Monday, right after they opened. We got some burgers and fries. The Terlingua Burger ($13 for single patty) comes with cheese, beef chili, onion and yellow mustard. The chili didn't stay on the burger. It was basically beef with more beef. Tasty but not that interesting. The Lancaster ($12 single) had bacon, cheese, pickled onion, tomato relish, and arugula. It was a bit sweet with the tomato relish. Pretty good overall. Fries ($6) are "curly-ish" in a shape I've never seen before. I didn't think they would have the right balance of soft to crispy, but they were great. Happy hour includes a $2 tallboy beer which is impossible to beat anywhere in DC. The Montucky Cold Snap was a light lager, like you'd expect. The place is small, but cute. I like the two-person mini-booths and the Tex Mex decor. 20% auto-grat even thought it's not a full service restaurant.

I came here with a friend visiting from out of town. We were walk-ins. The maitre d was unusually…read morehostile. It was the first time I was dealt such a cold reception by a restaurant host. We were seated on the ground floor. The decor was exotic in a pleasant way and it looked like there were many seating or standing options. It was quiet in the early afternoon. We ordered the fries with aioli, I had the lamb tartare and my friend the lamb bolognese, and we both had pound cake for dessert. We both deeply enjoyed the taste and presentation of the dishes we ordered. The fries were hot and crispy and the aioli delicious -- I only wish there were more given the generous portion of fries. My tartare had the taste and texture of pate, despite the lamb chop exterior. Very clever. The aroma was just right. The cake was warm and moist with a crispy crust. My friend remarked that dishes of similar quality, taste, and presentation would cost triple in Manhattan. Regrettably, we were charged $12 for the $10 dessert. The waiter attributed it to a "computer error," but I've had to deal with overcharging by several of my favorite DC restaurants. Whether intentional or not, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Other cons: The menu is admittedly sketchy. My friend and I were unwilling to gamble on expensive and elaborate dishes. It sounds like the reviewers here did. Also, the restaurant is located in the heart of Capitol Hill, far from the metro. It's a long walk or you'll be looking for parking. Butterworth's is now my favorite restaurant in DC. I've been wanting to bring my family here for the longest time, but I've hesitated because I don't want to deal with the contempt of the host, the embarrassment of disputing false charges, and the pain of finding parking. I've been wanting to return solo for the longest time, but I've hesitated because the place is in the middle of nowhere, and I don't want to walk 25 minutes or pay $15 for a cab ride just to pay another $50 for a meal here, as wonderful as the experience might be. All that said, in terms of taste, presentation, ambiance, and price, Butterworth's left a strong and positive impression on me.
