Amazing quality, wonderful staff and great environment. Have loved everything I’ve ordered in the many times I’ve been. The buffalo mozzarella porcupine is a particular standout, a unique preparation that looks as good as it tastes. The chicken as well is very delicious and worth the prep time wait. A great place to take groups for drinks, the decor and personalities working behind the bar make for a fun and imaginative environment.
This is a pretty cool place. I really liked the feel of the interior. Grabbed drinks here with some friends and they were mixed well.
Took a chance based on reviews. Turned out to be a great choice. My bartender Steve had great suggestions on whiskey and beer. I had the lobster roll and it was very good but the grit fries were an unexpected delight. Great vibe, I enjoyed my visit. I would go again.
The fried chicken special was completely bland. My party of 9 got it and no one was impressed-quite disappointed we had to pay so much for something that was utterly underwhelming. The menu seems all over the place - maybe they're still trying to figure out their strong suit? It's a cool space and I really wanted to like it, but I won't be coming back for the food. Drinks might be a safer choice.
The food is always excellent and the bartenders are knowledgeable and willing to put together drinks by the ingredient. Don't ask for that if it's busy, though. That would be rude.
My kids LOVE this place! The food and drinks are good and they occasionally play go-go music, so being a DC native in this place makes me happy!
Just turned up and Baby Whale were happy to accommodate 7 of us, including 4 children.
We all had really good meals, the lamb was amazing, service great and a great atmosphere. Thank you
Very cool space. Authentic dc feel, good food and great drinks. Awesome for events and nights out.
Great decor and ambiance, food not so good. Good drink selection though
Great vibe and decor. Great place to go for a drink at their super long bar, but get food elsewhere.
Cute place to grab drinks, have dinner (very date friendly), or host a private event. Great Happy Hour.
Had my birthday party in their upstairs event space and it was excellent. Oriana was my staff contact and she made everything so easy and fun. They have the lowest bar minimum of any of the DC bars I priced, and they don't make you put it all one tab. Everyone can buy their own drinks as if it's a normal bar. The space they give you is fabulous. It looks really nice and cool and the location is great. Also great cocktails. Oriana came and found me at one point to let me know we were a little behind on our minimum. Really appreciated the heads up well in advance so we could meet the minimum comfortably instead of all at once at the end when half the people have left! I have hosted private parties at other nearby bars and they are not always so helpful! The bartender was also great and fun. They accommodated my friends bringing in our own cake and lighting candles, which made my birthday extra special. Thanks!
