The leader of the Trivia was so loud that we asked our waitress to ask him to turn down the volume. He refused and even seemed to get louder. We sat off to the side and in back no less but to no avail. Difficult to communicate with waitress and ordering because of noise Food was not outstanding 6 meals all were okay but I certainly would not recommend this restaurant to any one. We mentioned it to management also about noise level again to no avail. We had no qualms about them the trivia game but the microphone echoed through the room and the Hotel where the restaurant was located.

The pictures on Open Table look nothing like what I saw there. Understaffed. There were only two large parties there, but only one waiter and one bartender. Food took too long. Multiple things not available on the menu, like chicken. It was a bit disappointing.

Tastes like school food, burgers are bland, the pork belly was horrible, the chili tasted absolutely absurd and the fries tasted like old grease. Do not waste your time here, overpriced for the quality of food. Service was terrible. The only good thing about this place was that the water didn’t taste like tap. 1/10

Me and my partner waited until the last minute, of course to get a reservation anywhere else so I was surprised this place even had availability. It was a ghost town but the decorations were beautiful, the food was amazing and the grinch drinks were delicious. It was all such a nice surprise. We will be back again.

This restaurant is in the bottom of the Bethesdan Hotel and is more of a cafe, definitely not a restaurant. The Grinch Experience only consists of special menu items. They should be embarrassed.
