    We were 2 for dinners. Food is ok but too expensive for what it is. The appetizers were good but not great. Entrees were very good, notably the lamb rack that was very well cooked and came with a delicious sauce. Forget the desserts!: the creme brûlée was too cooked and not tasty. And they do not know how to make (or buy) choux for the profiteroles.

    It came up in a search for French bistro. Not so much. Hangar steak was good. Chicken cordon bleu came as a bone in thigh. Nothing more on the plate. Bland. No seasoning. The price should have included a starch and vegetable but nothing. Ordered a vodka soda and sent it away as the soda water was 100% flat. Very disappointing.

    Ellington Park Bistro was a place we’d come to while visiting, but now that we live here it’ll go into the brunch spot rotation.

    Waiter was very rude and unaccommodating. Was mad when we said we only came for drinks rather than food, almost made us leave.

    Very cool spot in DC!! Had two levels of seating which I liked, so we sat outside of the main restaurant and in more of an open setting. Food and drinks were delicious!

    By far the most shockingly dissatisfying and disappointing experience I’ve had at any establishment in DC. Service, food, were extremely poor.
