   Overall a very good experience. Good service good food. Food was delivered hot and in a reasonable time. We were there for an early lunch. It was noisy. We all agreed dinner would be noisier. Very glad you’re in the neighborhood though.

   They were friendly but very busy. We asked for additional sauce for a sandwich, and it took 10 min to appear. I ordered chicken pot pie which tasted good but was served with mashed potatoes. Better nutrition if served with vegetables. All four in our party were hard of hearing and the noise level overwhelmed us. Easter Sunday was a bad day to visit. May try again for lunch during the week when not so crowded

   Very expensive, but our food was very mid. Our server was fantastic but she was definitely at full max being the easter holiday. Breakfast and brunch is leaps and bounds better than lunch/dinner. I was shocked at how dirty this new place is. Empty tablea unbussed for very long periods ~ overflowing garbage cans in bathroom with toilet paper on the floor was surprising.

   I was looking forward to trying this location since it is close to my house. Parking is easy. The decor is great, it’s a little loud but if you’re in the right area you’ll be fine. Unfortunately our service & food were poor all the way around. Our waitress was friendly but barely checked on us to do water refills, etc., and when we all ordered Diet Cokes she failed to mention it was in a can. So we were a bit thrown off when she dropped of a couple cans and then came back with glasses. The eggs Benedict was a disappointment- dry ham, overcooked eggs & just a tiny amount of sauce. Sauce seemed to be a consistent issue. The crab cake sandwich was huge but had almost no sauce. The crab cake was almost burnt. The onion rings were gigantic but bland. I doubt we’ll go back again.

   Great ambience and service. Food was very good. Poached eggs for our Benedict’s were overcooked.

    I am a Founding Farmers fan. The new one located near Potomac Yard fits the mold. The service is exceptional and the staff are awesome. The Chicken Parm and Broccoli was very good. They sauté the broccoli when order comes in, it is really good. Makes sure to ask for extra, the portion size was slightly small.
