Joy Santiago: The veal chop with gnocchi and mushroom sauce is amazing!

David Murray: It's not on the menu but ask for their Chicken or Veal Parmesan.

Khary Shirley: Trust me when I say this, try the Veal Sweetbreads! I was nervous, but I took a chance and it was definitely the star of my meal!
Stephanie: Innovative cocktail list and the bartenders know how to make a proper cocktail. Great place to belly up to the bar for happy hour and end the evening with a carnivorous meal.
Eater: With some of the best happy hour specials in town, plus a meaty main menu that would make any carnivore drool, this is anything but your average hotel dining room. [Eater 38 Member]
Gabe Gloden: One our favorite dining experiences in the D. Great food, service and atmosphere. I always have a huge smile on my face when I'm there. Go for the pastrami, swiss and slaw on their onion roll!
Eater: It won't surprise Hygrade fans that chef Chuck Hughes said their Reuben was the best thing he ate during his week in the city, but why stop there? Everything else gets rave reviews. [Eater 38 Member]
