I live in SW and as much as I appreciate having an actual decent, sit-down restaurant in the neighborhood (Masala Art is opening this summer, so hoping it's as good as the one in Tenleytown), this place consistently disappoints. It strikes me that the bar is constantly packed and the dining room usually empty. I wish they would embrace the fact that they could do better as a less formal bar/bar food type of place than a pre-theater restaurant. Often times I stop by for a meal after work, with the bar menu in mind, and find no seating at the bar because of the traffic and small area. It would be nice to have more seating in the bar area while retaining a (smaller) dining room as an option.

Hi, first post for me. My name is Lane and I live in DC. Love food and finding out about new places. I've joined Don Rockwell to hopefully learn about more obscure places, so any recs beyond the well-knowns in DC is much appreciated. I love eating alone, so am open to good bar menus, etc. Thanks and I look forward to getting familiar with the site!
