Although we thought the food (a trout meal for me and a fried shrimp roll for her) was tasty and well-prepared, we walked out of there having spent $40 on food that probably should have cost half that. The $13 meals are a relatively good deal, but the sides we tried (potato salad, grilled corn, mac and cheese) were pretty much average and the sweet potato fries were soggy and unappealing. The service, however, was impeccable. Even on a busy weeknight, one of the countermen made it a point to come out into the dining area to ask how everyone's meal was. And he was knowledgable about the food, as well, answering a question I had about preparation technique without hesitation. If you're ever planning to revisit this topic, you owe it to yourself to try Horace & Dickie's fried fish on H Street, NE. They've been around for almost twenty years, and the fish sandwich they serve is a monster - something like 4 or 6 filets stacked up on two slices of white or wheat bread for less than $6.
