Over the course of the first year of operations, the dual concept venture has attracted significant critical attention, earning mention as one of the nation's Best New Restaurant lists in Eater, Robb Report and Esquire, Eater DC's Restaurant of the Year, and inclusion as one of the best bakeries in Washington, DC by Food & Wine Magazine.
