Our restaurants have been operating with extraordinary increases in the cost of doing business. High inflation, rising wages, and supply chain challenges have continued beyond the pandemic creating a difficult operating environment. We have reluctantly chosen to implement a separate 3.75% fee or 2023 with the hope that it can be eliminated in the future as conditions improve. We appreciate your support and understanding.

Nice historical restaurant. Great ambiance. However, we had to send back our dishes. Plates and glasses were dirty one glass had a crack from top to bottom. Plates had what looked like dried cocktail sauce on them. Hard to believe whoever set the table missed it. The waitress seemed impatient. The waffle was great but the chicken lacked flavor. The oysters Rockefeller and eggs Benedict were good. The caviar was excellent. We were there for brunch.

Weird smell upon entering. We almost left because of it. But once we got to our seat, it dissipated. Then the food was amazing and the service was great, so still very happy overall with the experience.

Love Ebbitt it has a special city charm. It’s right in the middle of Federal Buildings, museums and retail. It’s good for families, couples and groups. The food is always on point. I worked for the Treasury Dept for over 30 year and this was and is my go to spot. The food is always consistent. They are known for their oyster bar and drinks. Brunch was delicious!

The experience was quite pleasant. The food was delicious. However, I must mention that the behavior of one particular waiter named Fabian was disappointing. Throughout our meal, he exhibited rudeness and unprofessionalism that left a negative impression on our dining experience. Firstly, we encountered difficulties in getting his attention. Despite our attempts to call him over, he seemed to ignore us, which created frustration and made us feel neglected as customers. Moreover, when we did manage to grab his attention, he responded to our inquiries while hastily walking away, showing a lack of respect and proper engagement.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in DC, and I love taking out of town visitors here. This time did not disappoint as we were celebrating a birthday as well. Mike was an extraordinary waiter and took care of every detail. Food was excellent and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever ordered. Thank you.! Angie

The Old Ebbitt Grill has an extensive menu and is loaded with charm. Amazing waitstaff and the perfect place for great oysters and a fun evening. We were disappointed with the steak tartare and the salmon, both of which were not memorable dishes.

Our visit to DC was topped off with an amazing dinner at Old Ebbitt. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! I had parmesan trout and my husband had the meatloaf which is infused with horse radish. For desert we had peanut butter pie. If we ever make it back to DC we will definitely make eating at Old Ebbitt a priority!
