Good food, good service

We went here the other night for dinner and were very pleased. The dishes here feature interesting combinations of flavors without being fussy or overdone. Things were cooked just right: the vegetables were tender yet still a bit crisp; the trout had a crisp skin and a moist, tender interior. And each dish presented a nice array of vibrant flavors. The service was attentive. The dishes were moderately pricy, with entres around $20. I don't know why WaPo describes the cuisine as Tapas. It is definitely a standard nouveau American menu.

Wonderful neighborhood spot

My boyfriend and I live in the neighborhood and finally tried Napa 1015. He had the lamb, tagine style, and loved it. The sauce was flavorful and complex and the lamb tender. I had the gnocci. That was much more simple though still yummy. Service was friendly but a little spotty. The waiter a little heavy handed on trying to sell us on the three course deal. We were both DC Restaurant Week-ed out and needed something basic. He also brought the check while we were having dessert. Neither were a big deal but servers could use some more training. Overall, a really lovely place and fantastic food.
