"At 5401 H Street I found a homey, house‑like restaurant with floral wallpaper, a newly installed pizza oven, the original fireplace intact, and a welcoming yard with community tables; former caterers Theodore and Steve Gibanov are serving lunch now and describe their offering as the “best burger in town” with homemade buns, pickles, and bacon jam, alongside a New York–inspired deli sandwich built with 10‑day‑cured pastrami, while dinner and happy hour are planned once a beer and wine license is secured." - Vanessa Labi
