    Stopped by and enjoyed a "Proper Lady" which was very well crafted. Overall, this was a good experience, probably quieter than other Saturdays, there were a few other patrons here when we arrived. Hans was very knowledgable and let us know menus were being updated. I'd love to stop by when the brunch menu is revamped to enjoy some dishes.

    Great customer service. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Upscale Sports Bar is the vibe and what I had from their menu was EXCELLENT! I even left an immediate review on GOOGLE!

    Went for a game night and enjoyed the high top and space in the bar to see the games on the overhead bar screens. It's cute, dim lighting with an adequate menu - almost great Gatsby themed. Service was great and attentive! I had the garlic wine mussels which I enjoyed and the sweet potato fries! Both were pretty good. Really enjoyed the drinks here as well! Great bar service

    We had our Company Christmas Party here. It was such a beautiful venue. It was very classy lots if mirrors and great bar. They served the appetizers for us and it was all amazing. Especially the smoke salmon with cucumber and cream cheese. Amazing. The chicken wings were great, the salmon tacos was good. Tiny Burgers are okay for me. We also had some drinks and the margaritas were amazing the Blonde Bartender ( i am so sorry i did not get her name) was so beautiful and gorgeous and she was so nice and she even took our pictures for the the whole company to be in that photo. We had such an amazing time and i hope to come soon! For happy hour.

    Shoutout to our waitress Liv! She was such a vibe and provided quality service. Also sending much appreciation to the manager Sefrina and the entire staff because whether assigned to the table or not, they each checked in on us and made us feel very welcomed. Important to note, this place opens at 11:30am and serves happy hour by 2:30pm...If you're in the mood for an early start to the end of day, it's worth giving this a try. Not kid friendly so focus only on the adults and feel free to secure a table for friends, a date, or coworkers. The ambiance is simply beautiful and their outside seating looked worth the try (we stayed indoors) Food: - Truffle fries (not pictured) but not worth the time. The fries had a really strong garlic aftertaste that lingered in my mouth and made my wine taste bitter. I had to reset my tastebuds by trying something sweet which now leads to the wings. - Proper wings (pictured) Korean flavored. These wings were delicious and a bit sweet! Wells reasoned and nicely portioned. I could have enjoyed two more orders of these and still feel unsatisfied because the wings were just that good. - Dessert: skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream (pictured) Warm and tasty but slightly burnt at the bottom. But, it did not take away from this perfect end to my wings enjoyment and wine. They do offer a good wine selection and their mixed drinks looked worth the try. Again, they have a good happy hour menu so definitely check them out.

    The drink menu handcrafted by April!!

    Sat at the bar with April! Such a friendly smile and welcoming!! Ordered our martinis and they were exactly what we wanted The shrimp scampi was better than the last several restaurants I've been to! The homemade pasta was delectable and the shrimp were perfect!! Perfect balance of garlic which didn't overshadow the lemon! My friend had the fish and chips which he enjoyed!! Finished up with a dessert of the homemade cocktails by April!! Was a very delicious dessert! Will be back because of April and such an enjoyable evening!! Thank you for a wonderful night!!

    I came here on a Sunday for lunch. It was easy to make a reservation and wasn't too packed upon arrival. We ordered the truffle Caesar salad to start. It was yummy. The grilled chicken wasn't seasoned AT ALL, but the dressing was very flavorful enough for the dish. The truffles were a nice touch too. The salmon was also a hit and had lots of flavor. The smash burger was just okay. To me, it was overhyped by our server. I didn't taste the cherry pepper jam or horseradish aioli that it says in the description. The fries were good though. I could have ate just those and been very satisfied. The proper churro waffle for dessert was the perfect ending to the meal. It was such a yummy combination of flavors and I almost licked the plate clean. Overall, it was a great meal and I definitely recommend it!

    My team took me here to celebrate my birthday. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was spacious and beautiful decorated. The menu was American fare, and it had a wide range of options. I chose the three different tacos on the Happy Hour menu; birria, fish, and chicken, which came with the rice and beans (pinto). Everything was just okay, I wouldn't order either again if I came back. However, my drinks were excellent.

    First night of my birthday weekend in Washington. I originally had reservations somewhere else, but the restaurant was basically dead and had no food available that we wanted so proper 21 was my Plan B AND this place was the spot that night ! It was so busy in a good way and the food was so tasty that all my friends got all different dishes so we could all try it, I forgot my servers name but she was awesome !she made sure I had a cake to celebrate and shots to end the night. The music was Popping and I know this is a little thing but the restroom were very clean.

    Luckily, I got seated immediately at the bar without a reservation. Very chilled vibe…read more I can usually tell when service feels genuine, and somehow the bartenders here made everyone feel genuinely engaged while naturally knowing when to give you space. The cocktails are interesting and thoughtfully created. Unlike a typical mezcal-based cocktail, Promiscuous wasn't tropical or fruity at all, but more spirit-forward with a little spice. Highly recommend. It made me curious about what else they could offer. I noticed almost everyone was doing the $48 four-course tasting experience, so I decided to give it a try. Although I'm not a big fan of deep-fried food, I actually really liked the coconut shrimp tempura. Among the four courses, the yellowtail "roll" was the most special. It's not really a roll in the traditional sense -- crispy on the outside, with the yellowtail wrapped around it in a very creative presentation. The portion of the four- courses was surprisingly generous; I ended up taking most of it home. Since I Left You is an Old Fashioned variation with miso, blackberry, cardamom and cacao. If, like me, you dig creative takes on an Old Fashioned, don't miss this one. I came in just looking for a chilled place to have a drink, and ended up staying for the whole experience. That probably says enough.
