The drinks were cold and on point. The appetizers where delicious. If I could have bottled the juice the mussels were steamed in that would have made it perfect. Dinner was amazing and the creme brulee finished off the night.

Freshest oysters in town. Great selection of other seafood. The softshell crab was delicious. Best service you could ask for. Tremendous selection of of beers and wines. A favorite of locals and visitors. It's been there for 150+ years for good reasons. You don't need a reservation, but make one anyway for extra special location and attention. Tip accordingly.

We asked for a quiet table and we got a booth in the corner! How great is that? I took foreign friends because it is so typically American. We had a very attentive server and a pleasant experience. I wouldn't give the food five stars but it was fine.

Meeting an old friend after having lost contact for about 14 years. Being able to sit in a comfortable booth and chat at length, with the perfect amount of interruptions from our server, eating delicious food, was wonderful. The only downside was the high noise level, which sometimes made it hard to hear each other.

I was not impressed with the quality of the food. The ambiance is great and the location across the from the Treasury and White House is an awesome, but there’s nothing special about the food. It’s just classic American. Good for a burger or other sandwich, but nothing crazy. Great quality oysters though. The rest of the raw bar is not probably good too.

From the moment I arrived I felt like I was being rushed out the door, very disappointing. Two of the tables around me complained of the same thing while I was there - it became a sad running joke between us. The food was pretty good, though quite a few of the oysters on the platter had very little meat (little enough that they shouldn’t have been served). And when I asked the waiter if the Key Lime Pie was made with real key limes, he first said yes, then paused and said they were “fresh limes”, then “real limes”. Never once said, “let me check” or simply “no, they’re not”.

Food and service was fantastic as always! I have been here quite a few times and brought two friends who had never been. They absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back! My only complaint is that the burrata did not come with bread or crackers. I feel as though it would be even better with something to spread it on.

We have dined at the Old Ebbitt Grill in the past when we have traveled to the DC area. This time the entrees were disappointing: the crab cakes were overly salty and the Reuben was extremely dry. The best part of the mean was definitely the strawberry shortcake.
