We were very disappointed with our experience. I made a 4 person reservation weeks before, so we got a nice table and yet the staff proceeded to ignore us every time they walked by. We loved the atmosphere, and the architecture but it was so hard to catch staff to get a drink. We had to fight to get their attention. Very disappointed. Not what I have experienced at other craft cocktail bars in dc. I suggest 600T for gin martinis or silver Lynn for more creative & quality drinks.

As other reviews have mentioned- really wanted to like this place! Host acted like he was doing us a favor by seating us, while they were only two other parties there. We ordered when we were sat and never saw the server again- had to flag someone down to close out, and went somewhere that appreciated our business for more drinks.
