IAHGVA SGR: Excellent French brasserie, had succulent salade lyonnaise and über-delicious almondine trout. Great place!
Lisa P: If you like foie gras, the mousse is fabulous. 1 order is plenty for 2 or more. Steak frittes, trout almondine, beef bourgonion.. all superb. Creme brulee is perfection. Take out orders at the bar.

Tammy Gordon: Great pic! Chic design, good food & drinks! Get Aaron at the bar to make u a Gettysburg Address even if u hate beets, follow w tater tots, then the brook trout (the vanilla parsnip puree is crack)
hoLLy Lynn: Try the chicken pot pie, mocha brownie, and trout!!
Minda Corso: Not a great dinner option. Had trout and it literally had ZERO seasoning
Neil S: Smoked mussels and trout are a must. If they have smoked whitefish salad, get it.
Emily Schwartz: The smoked BLT w/ avocado on everything bagel is spectacular. The smoked salmon salad (in the display window) is also super flavorful. Can't go wrong w/ lox, cream cheese, capers, & red onion.
Johanna: Lox bagel + avocado is money. Oh, and get a side of bacon. Their bacon is what bacon should be.

Lucia Theresa: The rainbow trout with corn spoon bread is fabulous! The clam chowder was so buttery too. This is a great place if you can get a table. Tons of kids running around!
Thomas Vander Wal: The crab fried rice is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Amazing balance of textures and flavor dimensions. This needs to be on the lunch menu too.
Bridget Gael: Frose and tacos, such a fun vibe

Emily Warren: Love the cozy atmosphere, and the trout is delicious!
D Sic: A quiet gem in DC. Great menu variety, excellent brunch out back on the patio.
Washington Post: Tabard's simple yeast doughnuts are a must. Before the designer doughnut obsession took off, these guys held the title of best fried dough in the District. They're still amazing and freshly-fried. Read more.

Omari Allen: Love the ambiance here. If you can’t get a resy for the main dining room, ask if you can sit downstairs at the speakeasy. Fav parts of my meal were La Luna, the short ribs tacos, and the enchiladas!
Bobby: Can’t go wrong with any of the guacamole options. The seafood enchiladas and empanadas were solid too.
April Armstrong: The CrabCake Tostada, Grilled Mushroom Tacos, and Wood Grilled chicken were delicious 😋
