Dear valued guests: DC restaurants have been operating with dynamic and significant increases in labor wages, food costs, and the general cost of doing business in DC.  We have chosen to implement a 4% operational surcharge - which does not go towards gratuity - as the most comprehensive way to address this.  

We appreciate your support and understanding.
