Ok, so I was a bit thrown off because I know the area, but I never knew this gem was here. I was invited by my friends and they raved about it so I gave it a try. BEST DECISION MADE! The interior is small but very cozy. The service is impeccable, Sara was an absolute darling, as was John.
The food is served family style, and this was a great touch because it made the dining experience much better. We ordered the Peking Duck, which was crisp and Juicy. The Garlic Chicken was outstanding, I've not eaten chicken that delicious in quite some time, and ya'll know I LOVE good food. The crispy beef strips were also great...the fried wantons were deliciously crispy and full of flavor.
It is pricey, but the portions are huge, you can feed 10 people easily, and everything is fresh, hot, and well seasoned. I am looking forward to taking some friends and family for a nice meal. Oh, be sure to get reservations. Otherwise, you will wait. Great job. You've gained a new customer who appreciates a fine dining experience.

I went to complete the medical clearance for new employment and was a little nervous at the number of people lined up before they even open the doors. However I am pleased to report that once the doors open, the staff do an excellent job navigating the crowd and quickly processing client's needs. I was in and out in less than one hour and when I returned, I was seen on less than 15 minutes. It is a clean, professional environment, but most importantly, the staff are very nice and seem to actually care about the work they do so well.

Wow, even the juror lot is on here! I just parked here again and have used this spot many times before. On Thursday and Friday this can be used instead of the garage as Monday thru Wednesday it is for jurors only ( unless the sheffif has mercy on your parking soul). It is only blocks from the District and Circuit courts and is in a really nice, visible, safe area.

Montrose Crossing is easily accessible and safe day or night. However, at night, you may find a few homeless guys, but they don't bother anyone that I've noticed, and I've had some good conversations with them. You can find good places to eat, 7-11, and even a mattress store I used a few years ago, and I need to return. Great place overall.

My auntie came to town for her birthday weekend and wanted some good fish. I remembered this place from my time working in Baltimore and knew there was a location on Benning Road in DC. The atmosphere was friendly, although there were some questionable folks there, but they were cool. The staff are fast and courteous and the prices are great. We got catfish filet, chicken wings and drums, and hush puppies, which tasted undone and banana pudding. Let's just say we destroyed that food like it was our last supper! Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and simply delicious (except for the hush puppies). I really enjoyed stopping in to make my aunties birthday special. I took off one star for the doughy hush puppies...otherwise I'd recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys good food!
