My favorite restaurant in the district, hands down. I have taken everyone who has meant something to me to this fabulous place. Before you salivate all over yourself as you read the signposted menu, descend the stairs and wait for the friendly host/ess to seat you in heaven--er, the restaurant. Perhaps you'll score the table by the window, where you can scope out the feet walking past on the street above or the patrons descending the same stairs, while you inconspicuously attempt to read the plethora of rave reviews framed upon the restaurant’s walls. The atmosphere: it depends on when you go. Subdued on weekday afternoons, a bit frenzied on weekend nights. The service: always welcoming, warm. The food: absolutely heavenly and won't break the bank.
