Lonely Planet review for Monocle
The Monocle’s food – very American surf-and-turf type stuff – is 3.5 stars out of 5. Generally good, occasionally great, sometimes disappointing. But people don’t come here to eat so much as to celebrity spot, and seeing as this good ol’ boys’ club is just behind the Capitol, your chances of seeing Senator Smith aren’t bad. The dark bar and the walls help hit home the fact that this is a politicians’ place first and foremost; note the quotes (‘If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog’).
