My friend was looking for a breakfast place to go to and Milk and Honey was my first choice for…read morebreakfast in Camp Springs since it was close by. We were quickly seated and approached by our waitress who also-served as the bartender that afternoon. Because she was genuinely pleasant it made our dining experience inviting. The menu ranged from breakfast biscuits, fried green tomatoes, avocado, toast, etc. so it was hard to determine what to eat, because it was a tossup between cheesecake pancakes and the Biscoff chicken and waffles. Guess who won! With the other combination of soup sandwiches desserts inside you can never go wrong here at milk and honey. This is definitely a land of Milk and Honey! Don't take my advice ... check it out for yourself! Now that I know that this is a takeout diner this will be my first takeout Oh yeah Courtney was a gem of a hostess!

We entered, admired the artwork around the room and were seated immediately to talk further what we liked about it. We were first greeted by our server Tess, who introduced herself & gave us menus. We searched a little, of course hawk-eyed other tables to see what others ordered... and Tess came back a few minutes later to take our drink orders. We got some waters, iced tea, lavender lemonades, and a mimosa flight for the table... but for a Sunday (what I would expect to be a busy day; a day of POST-prep) we received not 1 but 2 dirty glasses that we had to send back. Additionally, it took us over 20 minutes to get not one the flight but the simple nonalcoholic lavender lemonade to the table and was never told what the delay was about. The owner Tiess (I hope I spelled that right) did walk around with a smile, and to greet the table. All tables, and that is always appreciated and noticed by me. We did express to her our concerns and she did ensure us that we'd be taken care of. Tess grabs our orders and later our food comes out. I have been to Milk & Honey before in Bowie, and I say that because I don't remember their menu being so "busy". The grits and fried green tomatoes as an example of said "busy" items. Overall, the food was okay. Their potatoes were overcooked said 1-party, while as previously stated, another party said their grits and the fried green tomatoes were too busy. Not that it was good or bad, just... busy. Too much going on. I personally had the whiting and it was the star of the meal. My side of (plain ol) grits came out and I appreciated them being plain....they were just cold. So... 3 it is. Last few things : 1. Please note that there is a 1.5hour wait time. 2. There is a dj. 3. There is outside covered seating available, overlooking part of the upcoming surrounding shopping center and parking lot. 4. An 18% gratuity is entered for orders over $150.

We split the DL's Egg Drop (the bulgogi breakfast sandwich) and the Hatch Green Chili sandwich. Both were well executed. The bulgogi brought some real depth to what could have easily been a gimmick, and the hatch green chili edged it out for me personally. The heat was there without being obnoxious, and everything held together the way a good sandwich should. Friends went with the shrimp and grits and had nothing but good things to say. The team behind this place (Scott Drewno and Danny Lee, also of Anju and ChiKo) knows what they're doing, and it shows. The sourcing is thoughtful, the execution is consistent, and the menu has enough going on to warrant repeat visits without feeling like it's trying too hard. Would come back, and would tell others to do the same.

I ordered the shrimp and grits. My friend ordered the breakfast plate. Each came out to the table and I was honestly disappointed. I didn't know what to expect with the flavors. And the number one thing that ruined, the shrimp and grits for me was the amount of Parmesan it overloaded the plate that the smell was disturbing and made the texture of grits not to my liking. There were also only three shrimps in the entire dish just very underwhelming. Also, I was not happy with the freshly squeeze orange juice. It's not good at all. In my opinion overall, I will rate them at five out of 10.

From the outside, it has that classic, full-fledged American diner look and once you walk in, it absolutely delivers on that vibe. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. As soon as we entered, the greeter was friendly and quickly got us seated in a booth. The staff overall was very welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The menu has a ton of options, so there's something for everyone. For our meal, we ordered the French toast and the shrimp and grits, and for an appetizer, we tried the spinach rolls which were honestly fantastic and a standout item. Everything we had was flavorful and satisfying. There was a small mix-up with my drink, I ordered orange juice but received apple juice instead but it wasn't a big deal, and everything else came out great. The diner also offers a variety of beverages, including alcoholic options, coffee, hot chocolate, and more, though we stuck with breakfast drinks this time. Pricing can be a bit on the higher side depending on what you order. For two people, our breakfast came out to around $68, but considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, it felt worth it. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our breakfast here. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the friendly staff, I'd definitely come back again. 4 out of 5 stars!

I ordered the Mexican Caesar salad with salmon, and it was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we shared the wings and truffle fries, and neither disappointed. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. We had red velvet cake for dessert, served with strawberry ice cream. Those flavors paired well together and were a surprisingly delicious combination. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Service was good as well. There was no outdoor seating available, which looked like a great option for enjoying the scenery. We sat inside but stepped out onto the balcony to take pictures and take in the incredible views of Washington, D.C., and the Capitol. There's no smoke and mirrors here--the city views are stunning from here. The view alone makes this place worth a visit. While it is on the pricier side, the combination of great food, excellent atmosphere, and breathtaking scenery makes it well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend Smoke & Mirrors for a special night out and look forward to returning.

It's the kind of place that should be a reliable go-to for a group looking to catch sunset drinks before dinner. We made a reservation for eight, which turned out to be completely unnecessary given how empty it was when we arrived. After getting seated, 15 minutes passed without a single server coming by. Not a water drop, not an acknowledgment, nothing. A few of us eventually walked up to the host stand and asked if we could just order drinks at the bar while we caught the last of the sunset on the patio. Even that took far longer than it should have. This isn't a packed Friday night situation where you chalk it up to volume. The place was largely empty. The bar was slow regardless. We made it back to the table. Another 15 minutes before anyone came by to offer water or take drink orders. At that point, we looked at the limited snack menu, decided dinner was happening elsewhere, and let the host know we were leaving. The one server who did eventually stop by apologized and volunteered that the bar was just slow to get drinks out. At least someone said it out loud. The number of empty tables confirmed that plenty of other people had already figured this out on their own. The setting here is genuinely good. The views are real, the space is well-designed, and there's no reason this shouldn't work. But the service infrastructure clearly can't support even a moderately sized group on a slow night, which is a significant problem for a place marketing itself as an events and reservations venue. You can't charge Navy Yard prices and run a bar that moves at this pace. Wouldn't go back unless something has visibly changed.

I get various stuff, ranging from pastries to sandwiches. The service is always A+ quality too, I always talk to friendly employees who want to help me order.

The worker even spoke some French to accommodate my French family which was extremely thoughtful and kind. I ordered a club sandwich which came on a scallion pancake (crispy and delicious) and a cherry blossom iced latte (espresso was a little bitter). Our food was brought to us without even needing a table number (great memory by the person taking our order). I'm pretty sure this cafe is connected to either a hotel or apartment building. There is lots of great seating and it wasn't too busy when we ate around 3pm. Terrific experience and I would highly recommend!

As someone born and raised on the Capitol Heights/Seat Pleasant line (literally--the street I lived…read moreon kept getting rezoned), I'm a little embarrassed to admit this was my first time trying White Corner. It's one of those staple spots where if you haven't been, people will definitely question where you're really from. I ordered takeout on a Monday: * Half smoke with sunny side up eggs and French toast for me * Turkey bacon sandwich with home fries for bae * Scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and home fries for my father The food was ready quickly and affordable--which is rare these days. When my partner walked in with a vanilla wafers box, I was confused... until I opened it and saw everything served on paper plates, wrapped in foil. It gave full-on "you better not mess up grandma's dishes" energy--and I loved it. That first bite of the half smoke brought me straight back to my childhood. It tasted just like the kind my grandpa used to send my mom from Savannah, GA. No frills, no fancy presentation, just real food made with love. The portion sizes weren't oversized, but you get exactly what's described on the menu. If you have a bigger appetite, I'd recommend adding a side. Still, it's a solid, classic breakfast that doesn't break the bank. This is the kind of spot that makes you feel like home--simple, satisfying, and rooted in the community. I'm already plotting my next order.

My only note for improvement would be the timing of when the food is brought out to the table. Some people like to eat certain food items together and the pace was lagging in-between the food items dropped off to the table. Another area for improvement was the frequency in which the waiter checked our table, especially since we had bottomless mimosas. I feel we may not have been able to maximize on our mimosas due to the slow check-backs. Other that the noted areas that could use some improvement, the food was very good and we enjoyed our time together immensely!

It was such a great drink for the beautiful sunny day it was. Our server was Deja and she was wonderful. She was prompt and we saw her often, which was appreciated. The check is done via QR code which was very easy. We had a slight issue with our check not pulling up, but she quickly resolved. Again, the food doesn't really suit my preferences (heavy meat options), but I would definitely pop back for a drink.
