Long regarded as the gold standard in DC. Has the rep for the prettiest girls but I prefer Archibalds "style" of girls--a bit younger, a bit less career dancer--than Camelot although Camelot does have some wonderful women.

Two floors. Upstairs more like a showroom with large half circle nightclub stage. Downstairs seats fewer and has only a small stage. Bathrooms in need of modernization. Friendly waitresses. Food a mixed bag. Some delicious items, some wretched dishes. Maybe it varies by who is cooking when. Waitresses can probably advise when is a better time to order a sandwich than a meal.

To my surprise, I have seen some shady doings in here a few times lately--nothing of interest to customers, just operational issues. Not what I would have expected. They need to make sure they are maintaining their well-earned reputaiton for proper operation.
