🤢 2/5 - My girlfriend and I have passed by this establishment

My girlfriend and I have passed by this establishment numerous times while in transit to some other restaurant in Chinatown, always curious whether it would be worth scoping out. Finally, on one fine Saturday morning, we decided to give it a go.Upon entering, my first impression was that I'd enjoy my overall experience, and perhaps had found my newest haunt. The interior felt homely, and apologetically rustic and run-down. The walls were exposed brick with little to nothing covering them, and the bathroom door had a gaping hole in to, patched up with nothing more than tape. This personally appealed to me. In my experience, all the good places tend to have a rustic vibe to them. The added benefit for the owner's is that this reduces maintenance costs :).The bartender, without so much as a greeting swiftly distributed menus and took our drink orders. This part doesn't bother me. I'm a man of few words, and I prefer brevity. I'm here to eat, not make friends. However, the experience swiftly declined after that, not unlike my 401k over the past few days.What started out as a dull, manageable roar of easy going brunch conversation climaxed into an obnoxious cacophony of mimosa-fueled screaming from fellow patrons towards the end of our stay. The restaurant isn't spacious, and the bare walls that I once admired do little to soak up the noise (they probably amplified it, actually). What's more, for reason totally lost on me, the restaurant decided to TURN UP the volume on what was once background (now competing with patrons for foreground) noise. Logically, this resulted in individuals having to speak even louder, as to be successfully understood. By the end, I had to shout directly into the ear of my fellow party member, just to state how irritated I was. Even then, I was treated to the totally understandable "WHAT!?" in response. As for the food, simply put: underwhelming for the price. We started out with the Smoked Salmon Bruschetta, which came with the awkward, odd number of three. This means that someone must be stuck being the "fat one" and finish off the last item. Also, each piece rested upon an abnormally large slice of bread. As a food that I typically think of as bite-sized, this made for an odd eating experience. I suppose that you could cut each of the three whole pieces in half, resulting in six total, thus solving the odd number and large size issues at the same time. But, who wants to think at brunch?For the main course, girlfriend decided on the Granola & Yogurt Parfait while I nominated the Steak & Eggs. To the chef's credit, they did successfully grill a medium-rare steak, as requested. The eggs were sunny-side up as well. But, I still felt the $18.00 price tag was unjustified. The meal felt dull and unsatisfying, as if something were just missing from the experience. The cut felt cheap, generic, and sinewy. It seemed that I'd have more success cutting the meat with a chainsaw in place of the provided steak knife. I did not sample my partner's dish, but it was only $8, so it didn't bother me whether or not it was also sub-par (how can you screw up yogurt, anyway?).In conclusion, if you do decide to visit this location, I'd suggest that you treat it more like a place to grab drinks with friends, rather than somewhere to sit down and enjoy a meal. The food experience just isn't there, especially when so many places in DC get that part right. And remember bring a healthy pair of lungs and "say it from your chest!". Otherwise, the noise will drown you out.
