Brass Cannon

A sublime dining experience. From the atmosphere to the cleanliness to the sheer luxuriousness of the food itself. Hands down the best food outside of the immediate DC area. Service was above excellent as well. My first visit to many restaurants of late has also been my last. This will definitely be the first of hopefully many! Update: While off-golf season is just as described above, in-season is slightly different. The food was almost just as good (the main chef was out sick or something and the quality was slightly less than normal). The main problem (and it was indeed a HUGE problem) was the rowdiness of the very very large groups of inebriated people. It's been two hours since I left and my ears are still ringing. There was a larger group next to us who were older and several of them were literally cupping their ears at times because the volume of one group was so incredibly loud it was uncalled for. The main group in question should clearly have been cutoff hours prior (they had been there at least two hours just drinking, no food whatsoever and there were several who were beyond obviously drunk). At the minimum, they should have been offered another room entirely. The restaurant was *losing* business because people were obviously leaving without ordering after-dinner drinks or desserts. A second group entered and they felt the need to yell over the first group. Altogether, it sounded like we were at a death metal concert. In the future, I will certainly come to Brass Cannon, but I will be second guessing that decision whereas before tonight I would not have.

We went for lunch..had a wonderful waitress, Lynda. She managed the perfect balance of not leaving us too long without checking on us, and never annoying us. We ordered truffle fries, a burger, a pulled pork sandwich, and bread pudding for dessert. EVERYTHING was wonderful. We got a cocktail each, and they were seasonal and adorable, and very well made. We also met the manager, Angie. She was SO kind and personable. We look forward to our next visit!
