Driftwood's brunch drifts into the 'swipe left' category

I'll keep this one brief, very brief.

​Over the weekend I visited the beautifully manicured brick, wood, and steel restaurant serving American dishes on H St. NE, Driftwood. Unfortunately, outer beauty does not equate to inner beauty or should I say savory dishes from the kitchen.

I ordered the steak and eggs and a side of waffles. The steak, ordered medium-rare, was a lot closer to well done than to medium-rare. The waffles were rather dense and somewhat cold, cold enough not to melt the butter.

It could be a fluke, yet they say first impressions are hard to overcome.

P.S. So Driftwood? Not so good.
