Selected this restaurant for Father's Day. Had a reservation for 12:15 but it was a zoo with people waiting in the walk-in line out the door and up the block. Arrived 15 minutes early and they would not seat us at that time. Along with others who had reservations, we stood, cramped, in the small entry area. It was very noisy. They kept calling out names but you couldn't hear the names they were calling. At 12:15 "on the dot" I went up to the Maitre' D's desk and reminded them that we had reservations. They seated us at this time, fortunately upstairs, where it was quieter.
The server was very helpful and nice and the food quite good. I had the bourbon batter french toast. The toppings were fresh fruits, not sweetened sugary stuff, which I liked. The "bourbon" in the toast was not particularly evident and the toast slightly overdone and did not have the fluffiness I look for in "awesome" french toast. It was just okay. The highlight were the grits, which had actual hominy and were incredibly creamy. My stepdad had the hashbrowns, which had leeks in them and were, in a word, divine.
Bottom line: Yes, I would go again, but at a less busy time/day.
Upscale American food, locally sourced.
Multiple locations -- went to 1924 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.
