DC's native son, Marvin Gaye, is an important American figure to all. The menu blends his roots with his two year (self-imposed) exile to Belgium. Go upstairs for the lounge and bar area, where Motown and soul lovers can get down with local DJs, especially on Mondays which are exclusive for the cause.
