"DC Dining author Don Rockwell visits the historic mainstay, which features highlights like hard-to-find liquors at the bar, its iconic soup with roasted peanuts and water chestnuts, and a stellar Caesar salad. He sums up his visit by saying it’s “better than it used to be (it used to be abysmal), but regardless of the improvement, it’s still essentially a food-service restaurant – if you can accept the latter, it’s a pleasant, quirky place to dine.”" - Tierney Plumb
