Another tasty dinner with great service. Thanks Carter (See photo). Love this place. Upscale, cozy feel. Great Happy Hour! Really good Chicken Karachi and fresh Massachusetts raw oysters. Yum! Wagyu steak was delicious, served with well-seasoned potatoes and onion rings. Great salad too. Carter is a wonderful server!

Love a great HH. The drinks here are well poured and well made. They have plenty of food and drink options on theHH menu to meet a variety of people. The falafel was by far my favorite thing. It's pillowy and soft rather than being a hard puck. The lamb kebabs were well seasoned and very moist. Their hummus tasted very fresh and was very straightforward-- no frills-- but absolutely delicious. The restaurant was pretty empty so service was quick and parking was plentiful. Will definitely be returning here for happy hour.

Came here for brunch with a friend and really enjoyed this spot. The restaurant itself is cute with moody interior design and a nice patio out front. I ordered the shakshuka which I had never had before but sounded really good and I'm glad I tried it. It was two poached eggs in a tomato sauce with sage sausage. It had so much flavor and depth, I really loved it. My friend got the sweet potato hash and said that it was very good as well. Our server was very nice and our food came out pretty quickly. Definitely will come back again!

We visited District Kitchen for brunch last minute with a party of 12, and they were able to seat us immediately with no wait, which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered a mimosa and the mushroom omelette, which was absolutely delicious. The combination of goat cheese and mushrooms was a fantastic pairing--something I wouldn't have thought of but really enjoyed. The smashed potatoes, however, were just okay. I didn't love the addition of sugar, which felt a bit unusual. Overall, it was a great brunch spot with plenty of vegetarian options and good service. I'd definitely go back!

I really think this place has the potential to be better, but a bit of lackluster service and hit and miss food made this not the upscale birthday experience we were hoping for. Service was awkward - interaction was a bit strange... Friendly but disconnected and the timing was off. Had the chicken Milanese, which was good. Like a chicken schnitzel with a kind of like mustard gravy but the broccoli was over spiced and the chicken needed more seasoning. Scallops were good, but the risotto was stodgy and tasted of mustard. (mustard must be their signature spice here) and my entrée. Caesar salad was fine but had two sad little anchovies on it after the server making a big deal of whether I wanted anchovies or not even though it's there on the menu. Cocktails were the bright spot. He had some interesting seasonal options as well as some great classics.

It was such a gorgeous day we decided to pop out for a quick happy hour on a patio. I always forget how close District is, and I'm so glad we remembered today. We went before 5, so it wasn't busy at all. Grabbed a great spot on the patio (which is dog friendly btw). Plenty of parking is always a plus in my book, and greeted by a friendly hostess. We had a Very friendly server and he made some great recommendations! The Karaage was absolutely delicious. Overall great experience and we will be back. There are still a lot of happy hour nibbles I need to try, and next time we will bring the pup and stay a bit longer.
