The kiddies menu WITH a coloring section on the back. And the server strapped the kiddies seat to the chair; didn't just plop it down and walk away. Child's meal arrived first so they could get started, then parent could enjoy their meal with ease. The ATTENTION TO DETAIL was beyond. Aesthetically fitting (non-plastic) changing station in the restroom. We were a table of 10 and the tables pushed together without wobble; my plate sat flat straddling 2 tables. Was the floor leveled perfectly or did staff shim the tables to perfection. I don't know, but I've never experienced that level of perfection before.

I've been wanting to visit for years and so I was really looking forward to finally making it in. Upon arrival we were able to get a seat at the bar immediately. We were greeted right away and the bartender provided his recommendations. Here's everything we enjoyed and didn't enjoy as much ... + IPA beer-- really delicious $6 + oyster rockefeller-- didn't really taste the oyster and they were tiny + fries--- not crispy enough and could use a little more flavor/salt + lamb chops-- also just ok, small and only had 2 pieces with a small salad +butter lettuce cesar-- meh, nothing to really rave about + smashburger-- 3/5 we were told that the locals rave about their smashburger as one of the best in town buttttt idk about all that lol. I think what I didn't really like was the onion on it. Overall I would give Primrose another try. I love the neighborhood, local feel. It was very busy in here when we stopped by. I would try more of their wines and a couple other items on the menu.

​An Elegant Breakfast Spot with Wonderful Staff (Just Mind the Checkout)…read more​The Atmosphere & First Impressions ​High-End Finishes: The restaurant is beautifully designed with high-end finishes, creating a very upscale environment. ​Impeccably Clean: Upon arriving, we immediately noticed how clean and well-maintained the entire space was. ​Warm Welcome: The hostess was incredibly kind and set a great tone for our breakfast. ​The Food & Service ​Fantastic Menu: The menu offers a wonderful assortment of options. We were originally drawn in because we were excited to try their homemade Pop-Tart! ​Accommodating & Kind: Our waiter was a very nice gentleman. The kitchen was more than happy to make small adjustments to our orders for dietary needs, which we deeply appreciated. ​Kudos to the Staff: The waitstaff does a phenomenal job, especially considering the clientele. This area tends to attract a lot of pompous professionals, and we witnessed customers being incredibly rude to the staff on two back-to-back visits. ​A Note on the Crowd: For example, we were in on a Thursday afternoon and watched a large group of business professionals completely ignore their server. They wouldn't even acknowledge them or say thank you. It felt like olden times, where the staff were treated like servants to a king or queen and were just expected to take abuse. It was really bad. ​A Quick Note on the Checkout Process ​Rushed Payment: The payment process felt a bit rushed. The server hands you a small payment machine and quickly pushes you to complete the transaction right then and there. ​Keep an Eye Out: We aren't the type of people to scrutinize a bill closely--if it's right around the expected amount, we don't worry about it. However, the lady at the table right before us was loudly complaining about a service fee on her bill, and she ended up not leaving a tip at all because of it. Combined with how fast they push the payment machine on you, it might be worth taking a quick second to look over your total if you are the type of person who likes to verify the fine print. Come on people, do better! ​Overall Impression ​It is an expensive spot, but the food quality, cleanliness, and excellent service from the waitstaff make it worth a visit. The staff handles a tough crowd beautifully!

Somehow, I had only been to this place during the winter time, but it is a completely different vibe during the warmer months. The outdoor space is stunning, and everything just feels brighter and happier. The staff are really nice, the patrons are enjoying themselves, and they just have excellent food. My friend and I happen to come during this fashion show event so there were complimentary hors d'oeuvres for everybody present, but we still ordered delicious deviled eggs (I could've eaten a whole tray of them) and had some great cocktails. You know, for the first time ever, I paid attention to a bunch of board games that they have on a shelf. But based on the stuff that's on the shelf in front of them, I am not 100% sure that they are up for grabs, but it still looks cool. Anyone who is in this area should definitely pay them a visit. You won't regret it.

My friend and I showed up for a late lunch, and after I stood waiting for service for almost five minutes, the bartender finally came closer to me and said the kitchen was closed. She had been looking at me the entire time and didn't say anything or try to signal to me, so I found her behavior pretty rude. Also, I had previously visited this restaurant for happy hour and found the food and service to be average.

They give free samples for NEARLY ALL of their food, I mentioned I traveled to DC from CA, and the workers gave me a sample of one of everything on the menu! Gosh, I have never experienced such AMAZING customer service! My boyfriend loved the etouffee and my favorite was the gumbo sample. We were so stuffed from our previous dinner, and couldn't order more. We noticed everything on the menu was VERY affordable for DC pricing and gave good portions. We ended up opting for the bread pudding, and finished it in minutes. The bread pudding feels like a warm hug, and is a MUST with the ice cream. It has hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and the bourbon perfectly balanced the creaminess and sweetness of the ice cream.

My husband has spent many years going to Hawaii so getting the MoCo loco was honestly super disappointing. The burger had no flavor, thank god for the fried egg cause that saved the dish. The macaroni salad was my favorite and it was a side! The bbq chicken was good but nothing special. The kid working the front barely said a word to us after we order, and then as we were getting ready to leave he took a FaceTime call from a friend while we were there and didn't disconnect from the sound system so heard the initial 2 seconds of the call. Overall, food was okay but service was rough and lacked any ambiance. Really wish it was better.

The potatoes were drenched in oil and overloaded with salt to the point they were inedible. The salmon was also extremely greasy and overly salty.

I spent good money on breakfast and ended up throwing most of it away because the potatoes and salmon were simply too salty to eat. Very disappointing overall.

Most of their proteins are smoked meats so they have lots of yummy options for those that like southern comfort. We've been here loads of times and have never had anything we didn't enjoy. Most often we are too full to have dessert although we always try to leave room. I ordered a 1/2 rack! My husband was surprised by the portions. I always order their hush puppies (they come with a yummy honey butter). Their cream of crab comes with lumps of crab in their portions. Though we didn't get it this time, we've been known to enjoy their fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, chili (comes with brisket chunks in it), and blackberry chicken. Great place for families or gatherings of friends.

It was whiter than the iced chai latte with whole milk that my husband had gotten. I had to send it back.
