Midday Just Got a Makeover. Join us this Wednesday, March 26th, as we debut our effortlessly swanky lunchtime affair.

Our menu features the timeless American dishes we’ve been craving, with a sandwich for every day of the week. Think the classic corned beef reuben on rye with swiss and just enough sauerkraut, or a prime beef burger, adorned with only the essential fixings and our special sauce. Oh, and the Chinese chicken salad? It’s soon to be D.C.’s staple power lunch.
