I was told that there was no availability for the evening and I should try to walk in for bar seats. Upon arrival, the bar was not busy so we took three seats and noticed that the table behind us never got sat the entire time we were there. To me, this is a pretentious restaurant that falls below the bar in every way. Second time dining here and would not return because service from Branice C. was a C- in her caring that she was even at work, to the upcharges for extra marinara sauce to go with the greasy overbreaded calamari appetizer. The oil saturated flavor was almost nauseating. Please change the oil in your fryer! Prices were not excessive but the upcharge for using a credit card was. Who really walks around with $300 cash in pocket to pay for dinner without a credit card fee. JUST ADD IT IN YOUR MENU PRICES!!!! The Boar Ragu was truly not boar but probably run of the mill ground beef and the four tiny slices of steak on the Caesar salad was a joke. There are so many other lovely restaurants along this block that this is a skip right past for the future.

Possibly an old Victorian home transformed to a dining area with patio seating. Then there are stairs going up to their "inns" which one of the reviews indicated are available via Airbnb. Table setting is cute with tiny dinosaur figurines. Live plants on window sill. I came at around 5 minutes after opening time. The staff clearly wasn't expecting the "just opened" order. I ordered their Greek kessiri cheese served with crackers and rose jelly. It was great, cheese was just right firm. The tofu came out piping hot. It's spiced with good mix of spices, definitely not bland and healthy (baked not fried). The owner Erin (her husband is co-owner) indicated they've been open for 5 years (how come there's not been a lot of publicity that this place deserves???) It's definitely much serene and my type of place for solo dining! Come patronize this gem before they sell the business off!

Anyway, we ordered the whipped ricotta, which is like a Brulé on top... That was beyond way too sweet for us to eat. I ordered simple spaghetti with meatballs and that red sauce was horrible. My Cosmo was not even good. Our table was wonky... I was sitting so low that I had a hard time eating because the table was so high... The chair that my husband was sitting in was broken... I felt like we were sitting in a walkway. Nothing about this night was good except for Frank and the server whoever that was We will not repeat.

The bookstore is so inviting and the staff is so welcoming. The mood is calm and relaxing. There are many types of seating arranged for sitting and reading. Other sitting for talking quietly about what you are reading with a friend. I enjoyed a great Americano coffee and purchased a new bestseller during this vist. Okay, now this is an example of how nice the owner is to customers. I was in there sitting. reading, and drinking coffee. I found out as I am leaving that the club was closed when I arrived but she welcomed me with a smile anyway! Awesome coffee, great environment, comfy seating and alcoholic beverages. I am coming back when The Book Club is actually open with my girlfriends. Smiling as I type. Enjoy!

It's somewhat a take out spot as it's not a whole lot of seatings. When you walk in, you go to the kids to place your order. There's a staff visible so you can ask for help with the menu if you have any questions. I ordered the oxtails taco and it was so yummmy!!! The meat was flavorful and soft. They had crunchy onions and it took this dish to the top! I also tried the seafood combo with shrimp, catfish and whiting. It was all seasoned well, not too salty. Get their mambo sauce straight from DC and the homemade cocktail sauce. It compliments any of the dish very well. Staff super friendly and this will be my new spot whenever I'm on Granby Street!

The crab cakes were cooked perfectly had a lot of crab meat. Most of the tables got steak and they were all cooked to each persons desired level. The salmon was also very flavorful an and cooked well. Both the sides of Mac and cheese and the seafood Mac were amazing. Definitely our favorite sides. Broccolini was good but a very small amount. Service was amazing our server was very sweet and accommodating. The restaurant was not too crowded on Saturday night. The restaurant is connected to the mall but there is no entrance through the mall. You have to walk outside. They say where to park on their website but I think you're better off parking in the street.

We were dining before a 8pm show at Chrysler Hall so did not have options and make our play on time. The food did come out hot and delicious.
