Restaurant Review- Two Quail, Skip It

Two Quail on Capitol Hill is reputed to be one of DC's most romantic and charming restaurants but I did not find that to be true. It's in an old rowhouse and decorated like the parlor of your weird great aunt's house; lots of mismatched florals and random antiques. It was still decorated for Christmas, which was nice, but it was so cluttered in there. The restaurant is very small and filled with couples who didn't talk to one another so my group of 4 felt very awkward making conversation. The food we ordered as appetizers and salads was fine, but the entrees were not exciting. I ordered their "two quail" which was decent but with bland rice and some veggies it wasn't a great meal. The three others all got the beef tenderloin special ordered medium rare and out came three well done tenderloins with a heavy sticky sauce. It was an expensive restaurant that was definitely not worth the price. As far as the decor and ambiance, I didn't find it charming or fun, just stuffy and awkward.
