About this restaurant

Fancy
Good for business meals
Great for creative cocktails

An upscale, modern eatery, EDGAR features traditional American brasserie cuisine and authentically crafted cocktails. Handcrafted cocktail culture marks The Mayflower's return to the iconic bar scene. EDGAR will be the place to toast with a classic beverage, but a creative and artisanal menu is the new star.

Located in the footprint of the original restaurant space with entrances in the lobby and on Connecticut Avenue, EDGAR replaces the former Town & Country and Cafe Promenade and promises a contemporary twist to the iconic hotel. Bringing the spirit of the grand bar back to Connecticut Avenue, EDGAR embraces the history of its legendary location and is poised to be a iconic yet modern fixture within DC social and cultural scene.

Our team is dedicated to making your experience at EDGAR as special as possible and we thrive on opportunities to create wonderful memories for our guests.

The food and service were fine. The noise level was higher than we expected. It was a bit louder than it should have been to hold a good conversation.

Wonderful salads. Attended a business meeting and staff was respectful of our need to be left alone, yet came over to make sure our needs were met.

We had breakfast here 6 out of 7 days. Twice they were out of bakery. Service was quick. One afternoon we took advantage of happy hour. The fries were underwhelming and took a long time to arrive.

Located in The Mayflower Hotel, The Edgar offers a nice variety of freshly prepared foods. Had breakfast twice while guests at the hotel. Well prepared. Decent portions. Accommodating and friendly service. There were complaints about cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the in-restaurant restrooms during our stay. Definitely something that needs attention.

The shrimp and crab risotto and other food was just fair, the restaurant was noisy, and the waitress was unfriendly and a bit rude. We had hoped for a nicer experience.

The food and service was amazing. I got the brussel sprouts, fries, and wings and finished with the toffee pudding. 10/10! The only issue I ran into was my drink. The glass had a larger purple lipstick stain on it. When I pointed it out to our server, he immediately swapped it out with a clean glass. However, when that is the way the meal starts, it made me skeptical of the dishes throughout the rest of the meal. Thankfully, the manager got the drink removed from our bill. Other than that, a great experience!
