    We arrived for my birthday brunch on time. We were seated, but nobody approached our table for over 15 minutes. I asked the hostess what was happening. She said they only had one person serving the entire restaurant. This, on a Sunday with peak Cherry Blossoms, a Nationals game, etc. After getting no further response, we left, having never been greeted, asked to be patient, offered a drink while we waited. Nothing. An extremely disappointing experience to say the least.

    It took 15mins to check in for my reservation, 25mins for my order to be taken, watched the ladies that came after me get their drinks within 5mins of sitting down. After 15 more minutes of waiting for our drinks, we got up and left. Horrible service to say the least!

    We were seated for 30 mins without any service. When we indicated to the staff we needed their attention we were ignored. The cafe was not busy at the time and it was very off putting the lack of service we received. Will not be visiting again.

    The restaurant was very loud and we could not hear ourselves. The food and service were ok but overpriced.

    A great place to have a meal before seeing a show at The Anthem. Comfy, delish food with friendly and helpful service. Kohanesauane took good care of us and made sure we were on our way before showtime!
