"The best burger in DC" - a tagline prominently displayed on the restaurant website. The burger turned out to be a disappointment but our first date was not. On a rainy day in November, 2016 Adam sat waterlogged and umbrellaless grading papers at the bar. Annie walked in ready to end the date early after realizing Adam lived in Alexandria and not "in the city." What followed on that night and those proceeding was thoughtful conversation, gentle ribbing and eye rolling laughter that have continued through many shared adventures over the last five years. We can't wait to see our family and closest friends here in May to celebrate with us as we finally tie the knot.
