Service was excellent and the restaurant was very nice. Food was good but not worth the price. Steak was ok. Seaford was good.

Bar and all restaurant service was excellent. Kate was the consummate waitress. The food was terrific (blue fin tuna starter was super fresh and the diver sole sublime). I recommend this place highly.

Beautiful evening in the outdoor garden. Such a perfect setting. Appreciated our server’s recommendation of the trout, something I don’t order often. Really delicious. Looking forward to going back later this vacation week.

Despite having a drink dumped down my husbands back, soaking his shirt and pants, the staff didn’t see fit to offer any compensation or recognition for the mess. While the food was great, our enjoyment of it was diminished by the laissez faire attitude regarding this unfortunate incident. Accidents happen in a busy restaurant but there are ways to handle them that keeps a customer returning. Ignoring it isn’t one of those ways

We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday. We had a wonderful time, service was great, food was delicious but a little pricey. The Ebbitt Room really delivers.

Have been here multiple times - always a solid choice for celebrating any event or catching up with friends. First time experiencing the outdoor garden area which was wonderful except for the couple behind us who the guy had his leg propped up on the chair next to him like he was at home watching TV (and no, he did not appear to be injured in any way) Food is better than at 401 Bank.
