My sister and I decided to have our last dinner there before the restaurant closes on August 30th…read more So, we went back and forth deciding which Amuse (appetizer) to start with; which was a challenge. But we settled on the Deviled Eggs Crispy: topped with fried shrimp and bacon jam. Then for our entrée she ordered the Seared Sea Scallops over Crab Risotto, and I ordered the Braised Oxtails with Chuck Rice & Plantains. All I have left to say is "some good eating". Let me add some of the dishes that others around me ordered looked out of this world as well; Deep-Fried Snapper with African Gravy, Jerk-Braised Short Ribs with Curry Pea Risotto, and Teriyaki Tomahawk with Miso Butter just to name a few, looked amazing. When I looked at what they ordered and I looked at my order I was wondering the same thing for both of us; we are going to need a doggie bag because there is no way we could eat all this food in one sitting. It's bittersweet to see Chef Tobias leave. However, I think I speak for those in the DMV in saying thank you for serving such high-quality food and for being a true beacon in the community. Your restaurant has brought people together, created lasting memories, and made a meaningful impact that will not be forgotten. Though you are relocating to Florida I'm wishing you continued success as you begin this next chapter in another state. The same success the DMV brought you I pray for an even greater level of success in Miami along with the recognition you deserve. In my travels if I'm in Miami, I certainly will look you up. Now, typically I would end this review by saying the next time you're in the area please be sure to visit. But I say this with extreme urgency 'RUN DON'T WALK OR STROLL" because they will be closing after next week.

My wife and I had heard of honcho house for a while and had planned to visit. Today we finally made…read morethe decision to try it out. And to say it was underwhelming would be an understatement. I mean this experience might have been worse than the season finale of game of thrones. My wife ordered the oxtails and green jollof rice. First off, the rice tasted like wet grass. The oxtail was a sad excuse for oxtail. For context my wife is Caribbean so I've had my share of delicious oxtail, their oxtail tasted like they simply didn't even try. Now let's get to my food. I ordered the simplest thing on the menu the Steak and Frites. I'll give it to them the frites were pretty decent, but that's where my compliments end. I ordered my steak medium like a decent human being. The first steak came out and tasted like what I imagine an old used tire taste like, it was well done by the way. The next steak that came out 20 minutes later although closer to medium was surprisingly worse. It's was extremely rubbery with zero flavor. All together I would not recommend. The fact they sell this sad excuse for food is baffling. Sincerely, A concerned customer

We shared the crispy eggplant and shrimp skewers, and both were excellent. We each ordered a cocktail too, and everything hit the spot.

I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

So, let's start with food. Once we were seated and greeted by Sara, we sat around and talked for a bit before deciding what we wanted. The drink menu is wild so I opted for a beer. After all, it is a brewery! I opted for an IPA, my friend also ordered a beer (Dark & Stormy, a dark beer), and the other ordered a drink. Although my beer was 11%, it wasn't bitter and tasted juicy! It was good. I got the fish & chips w/coleslaw, one friend ordered onion rings and the other ordered salmon. Those onion rings were banging! and the coleslaw was pretty good too. Who doesn't love some fish & chips. Sometimes you just want something crispy! Overall, the food was decent. But let's talk about the general store-----------WOW! It's stocked with EVERYTHING!! Mugs, puzzles, seasonings, socks, leggo's, books, anything you can imagine. It's wild! Then......they also have liquor and beer. I'm talking craft beer, good wine, etc. Oh, and let's throw in an ice cream shop. Yes, an ice cream shop. They have everything! Check it out for yourself!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was friendly and professional. Our server was amazing -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We started with the cheesesteak spring rolls, and they were absolutely mouthwatering. For my entrée, I went with the Steak Frites, and it was delicious. The steak had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The truffle fries were also really tasty, although they were a little on the mushy side. We finished things off with the cheesecake, which was honestly to die for. One thing that really stood out was how quick the service was. Our food came out surprisingly fast, especially considering how fresh and delicious everything was. If you're in the area, Burtons Grill of Riverdale is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back!

My wife and I were hungry and wanted to go somewhere in the neighborhood. We heard about His & Hers…read moreand decided to stop by. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and it was completely empty. The cook was sitting at one of the tables and the waitress was behind the bar (they don't serve alcohol) hoping someone would come in. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. We did not go downstairs but I'm assuming there are plenty of seats like upstairs. We ordered the hangry breakfast, which came with French toast, eggs and potatoes, the salmon burger and the chicken & waffles. It's a good thing we ordered so much becaus the chicken and waffles only comes with 4 wingettes. We ordered water but were told they were out of ice. Instead my wife ordered a $4 CANNED SODA because that is the only thing they had cold. $4 for a can is insane by the way. Since we were the only ones in the establishment we expected the food to come quickly but that seemed to take 20-25 minutes as well. Our food eventually arrived. The French toast was good. Flavorful but small. Sandwhich bag slices of bread. The potatoes were clearly from the Walmart frozen foot section. The eggs were ok. My wife's waffle was cool however the chicken was BLAND and SEASONLESS. We didn't even finish them. For $18 I expected more. The salmon burger was by far the best thing there. A thick cut of salmon that was flavorful. We should have gotten two of those. The waitress was nice. The food is overpriced. I should have known when we walked in and the place was empty. Not sure how they stay open having brunch without alcohol but to each is own. One and done for me as a neighborhood guy. The food isn't great and the prices are high. No reason to return.

Don't go here - period. I went with my partner attempting to support a local business and have…read morebrunch - I wish I'd cooked at home. They don't have typical bacon or sausage because "the owners don't eat pork" which really sounds like something more appropriate for their house, and not their restaurant business on Rhode island ave. The "chicken sausage" was a shriveled up piece of chicken paste that they cooked in the microwave. I ordered scrambled eggs, and when they came out, they had that crust that scrambled eggs get when they sit out after being cooked. The grits were lumpy and outside of the cheese sauce they put on the top - had no flavor. The French toast tasted like milk eggs and burnt grill. And the pancakes, were very obviously pre made and microwaved. Additionally - the meal I ordered is listed to come with a bread, eggs, a side and a meat. I asked for bacon, and was told the owners don't eat pork. I asked for the chicken sausage.. 5 minutes later the server asked me if I wanted the sausage spicy or not. Then when she brought the bill, there was a $4 up charge for spicy sausage that she neither told me, nor was it on the menu. And to make matters worse - the sausages were not spicy and were actually just flat out nasty. This is a SAD excuse for a restaurant. I'm sad that I spent calories walking there and dollars eating there.

Although we didn't have a…read morereservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating, quickly finding us a table and welcoming us warmly. The menu is a creative celebration of seasonal dishes, and we opted for the chef's choice tasting menu, which proved to be an excellent value. Each course was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing a delightful range of flavors-from the roasted oysters to the chicory Caesar salad and the ricotta cavatelli with little neck clams. A highlight was the autumn olive farm barbecue pork chop, and the cauliflower risotto, was simply divine. The drink selection was equally impressive; we savored several espresso martinis, but the Oaxaca cocktail stole the show with its perfect balance of smokiness and spice. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Plus, there's ample street parking (if you can find a spot) available nearby making it easy to visit. Nina May is a gem that I can't recommend highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal.

The menu well written to impress but leaves out the important stuff which waiter has to fill in but unable to completely do so. Anyway, the non-alcoholic menu was limited. The appetizers were fine.

The trout was 1/3 cooked, which surprised one of my guests and she left it alone. The grits was on point, the mash potato was okay as well as the rest of the sides. The pasta side was meh, the collard green p*ssed off my black guests cause it didn't taste anything like what they expected. Overall, the place is well-decorated, professional looking. But the cooking was meh, the recipe was too odd (or maybe advanced) for your regular foodie to appreciate. It was not my choice and I think the person who chose it regretted. For the price you could have gone to some Michelin place. Glad I was done.

Ordered delivery and i can't say I would do it again. I had ordered years before and had a good…read morememory of it, so thought I would do it again. I was craving sides, and this place has tons of them. What I found during this experience was it was more quantity over quality. Everything was just kind of mushy and didn't really have a lot of flavor or taste. The best thing out of all of the five sides I ordered was the macaroni and cheese, and I had to add quite a bit of seasoning to make it palatable. The cheesy potatoes threw me, because there was no cheesiness to them. Also, the home fries were the same as the cheesy potatoes, so that meant to big piles of tasteless mush--hot sauce made it better. Also, there had to have been over a cup of onions combined in this box. I nibbled because I was hungry and sadly threw away the rest because I just couldn't eat it. I ordered the crab soup, and that was delicious. I would say though that the small size for the price paid is very questionable. As this was delivery, I can't be on service or ambience. Given my experience, I would not order again.
