This is a newer location that replaced my beloved Pamplona restaurant in the Clarendon area. I decided to pop in to grab some food and check out some of the NFL playoff games taking place that day. I'd consider this more of an upscale sports bar by comparison to the traditional hole in the wall spots, it has bars on both ends of the restaurant as well as several tables with comfy couch seating great for large or small parties. I got there early enough to grab a seat at the bar, there was plenty of friendly and welcoming staff on hand seemingly well-prepared to accommodate what became a growing crowd before the game which is always appreciated. Their menu features starters like bang bang shrimp, chicken tenders, and calamari (starter prices ranging from $11-$17), in addition to heartier entrees like New York Steak, mushroom ravioli, and pan-roasted salmon (entree prices ranging from $15-$30). They also offer a variety of cocktails options from their frozen painkiller to their espresso rye beverage (ranging from $14-$22). I decided to try out a few different items: the waffle fries, beef sliders, old-bay flavored jumbo wings, and the philly cheesesteak eggrolls. The food took awhile to come out given the large amount of customers at that time but the server was intentional about providing periodic updates on the items. As for the food: the fries were good, hot and not overdone, the beef sliders were probably my favorite item simple but really flavorful, the eggrolls were a bit underwhelming since that was the item I was most enthusiastic about trying but something about the composition and flavor profile didn't agree with me, and the old bay wings were excellent, well-seasoned but not overbearing with the seasoning which is a common issue with a lot of the old bay wings I've tried at sports bars. All in all a really positive experience and I'll definitely be returning to try some more of the entree items.
