We had lunch there on December 21st and enjoyed our break and meal. This is a go-to and we typically book the first reservation on our DCA day. We've interchange Carthay Circle occasionally, but with the alfresco menu (no burger) we've landed with our tried and true WCT. It allows us to rope-drop and catch most of the park before relaxing at WCT. The food is always good (not amazing), but the chance to sit with a bottle of wine at lunch on the "wall" and watch the crowd pass by after "we did that already" is priceless. We are gluten free and have a picky 13 year old (loves salmon and GF pasta) so the caprese and salmon are always a nice way to spend lunch....did I mention the wine? The menu was almost back to normal on December 21st (pre-omicron) and our server was great. While often given poor reviews by others, we've been happy with this option on most of our trips.
