    a close up of a cocktail in a coupe glass

    Honestly, the vibe was café meets bookstore meets upscale bar. The drinks were amazing; our last two rounds we just told the (almost problematically attractive) bartender, Marco, to bring us whatever... and they were the best two drinks. Lovely place to spend an afternoon getting a little boozy and waiting for the rain to stop.

    My friend and I stopped in at Licht Cafe for a drink before a movie when we were in DC for a day a month or so ago (I forgot to review it earlier)! Licht Cafe is an LGBTQ+ cafe and bar (there's some great art and decor), and we had a great time. When we walked in, we were the only people at the bar (it was earlier in the day - even for day drinking). The service was excellent. Our bartender was so friendly and very helpful. Licht Cafe offers classic cocktails, crafted cocktails, coffee, and a few snacks (like nuts, chips, and a cheese board). We both enjoyed our cocktails, but the overall experience was really great. l'd happily return.

    Thirsty you are

    nice and chill spot for a drink. feels like a living room with couches, drinks are basic but done decently well depending on what you order.

    A very cute spot with good vibes, cute decor, and great service. Definitely worth stopping by for a drink or a bite during happy hour.

    What a great find. Chill and low key. Great place to relax and get to chat during a date without the typical distractions. Drinks on point.

She came back and told me that it wasnt the same fryer but they were close in proximity and she couldn't guarantee that there would be no cross contamination. Shellfish allergies are very common and I would imagine that the kitchen would have better precautions to insure that there is no cross contamination to ensure no one gets sick or a reaction.

    Tried Yardbird for brunch for the first time and had a great experience! I was seated right away…read morewithout a reservation, which was a nice surprise. My waitress was super friendly, bubbly, and really knew the menu. She gave some great recommendations. I ordered the American breakfast and the biscuit French toast. Everything was good! The sunnyside eggs were especially great, and both the sausage and bacon were cooked really well. Even the arugula salad that came with the breakfast stood out. It had a light lemon vinaigrette that I really enjoyed. The hash browns with a fried block delight. I wasn't sure what to expect with the biscuit French toast, but it tasted exactly like it sounds. biscuits turned into French toast. It didn't have that classic French toast flavor, but it was still really good and worth trying. The atmosphere was nice, pretty packed, but the noise level was just right. My waitress checked on me often, which I appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back for brunch!

The food was good. The hot nug sandwich had a nice tangy taste. Not too spicy and was very manageable. I'd had lived more spicy but the flavors were still very satisfying. The fries were great too. I really enjoyed the sauces and couldn't stop eating them. I'd definitely recommend Thai place if you are looking for a good sandwich and a quick bite!

I didn't want to eat at the hotel, so I checked my Yelp app and saw that there is a sandwich spot nearby. I decided to walk a few blocks and try it out. I was glad I did! It's a very unassuming place where you can sit down and have a lunch or dinner or you can get it to go. I decided to get mine to go. I was greeted by friendly cashier. She asked if it was my first time there and I said yes. She explained how the ordering process works and explained a little about each sandwich. I decided to try the RBG, which was $18. I believe all sandwiches are $18. I was a little surprised by the price, but I wanted to try it. The RBG is delicious pork sandwich with coleslaw and a soft, yet crunchy bread. Don't get me wrong. I am not a crunchy bread sandwich type of girly. But this bread was just right for this sandwich. I had the ability to eat the entire sandwich with the bread not becoming too soggy and falling apart. The pork was tender and flavorful, the slaw was crunchy and tart. It was a wonderful combination. The only negative thing that I have to say is that it is a really large sandwich! So, make sure you bring a friend to eat the other half...so you won't be tempted to eat it all like I did!
