Situated in the bustling heart of Dupont Circle is The Pembroke, a sophisticated dining destination. Featuring contemporary American fare with global influences, The Washington Post’s food critic Tom Sietsema described the experience as “cut from a different cloth." The Pembroke’s stunning design by Martin Brudnizki features plush velvet coral-toned banquettes around glossy marble tables, cream-paneled walls with playful artwork, and boasts panoramic views of the neighborhood, while a seasonal terrace offers al fresco dining from spring to fall. The marble-topped bar is a bright and airy nod to cocktail bars of the 1950s and features classic drinks with a twist and a selection of fine wines. Reserve your table today to see how “The Pembroke makes Dupont Circle a destination again.”

    This is a lovely restaurant to walk to. Valet parking and over night are the same. Street parking can be several blocks away. If you are ordering more than 1 course, tell the server just one at a time or you may get all at the same time. Very good food, but too many obstacles

    We waiting almost 40 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. A manager came over to say sorry and offered us drinks but then they were charged on our bill. We waited so long to get the check we just paid and left. The food was great and would return but be prepared to wait past your reservation on weekends.

    Dear Laura, Thank you for taking my call last week and accepting my apologies. We always try to be better and better and learn from failures. Your kind feedback assisted us to follow this path.

    We had a very nice evening - first time at Pembroke. The atmosphere was lovely - quiet and serene with light jazz music playing. The bartender did a great job with our cocktails (the Nightshade was quite good). My husband had the tuna appetizer (outstanding) and I had the oysters which were good but very small. Our main dishes - halibut and crispy salmon were excellent. Did not have dessert but the decaf cappuccino was perfect. All of the staff were exceptional; our server Sarah was delightful. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

    We had such a wonderful brunch at The Pembroke. We were running ten minutes late, I texted the hostess thru the app and she immediately replied letting us know our reservation was still good despite our delay. We were seated right away. The lady who sat us was very sweet and made sure we were comfortable where we sat. Our waiter was outstanding and they even remember to bring out a lemon tarte dessert with a candle for my boyfriend’s early birthday celebration. This was just such a great experience and we will definitely be back again!! :)

    We dined during restaurant week, I felt the restaurant menu had a little bit of everything. The food was very good. When we arrived for your reservation we still had about a 8 min wait for our table. Seated next to us was a large table of 10, who had most of our servers attention all night. So the drinks and food were coming out slow. The ambiance was beautiful, I would go just to sit at the bar.

    This was our second time ( and we’re also booked in again before we check out of the hotel next door) and each time we’ve been truly wowed by the hospitality from all of the staff. I can’t convey how professional, supremely friendly and attentive they ALL are, it’s been an absolute pleasure. They say that there are 2 types of restaurants.. a place with great food and bad service or a place with great service but mediocre food.. and people will return time and time again to the place with great service… well luckily The Pembroke has both amazing service and great food! Although all the staff were wonderful, special mentions have to go to Bardia, the GM for his excellent assistance in finding us some amazing wines.. (away from our Montepuliciano 🤣), even blew our minds with the shaken bottle of wine, it was a real pleasure to chat to him every night. We will be back.

    Hands down a new favorite! We visited The Pembroke for restaurant week and had a delightful experience. Our server, Duane, was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and super helpful when narrowing down our wine selection. Chef Michael and his team knocked it out of the park. I had the yuzu steamed mussels, the petite fillet, and the tiramisu- every bite was better than the previous one. My friends enjoyed the crispy salmon and the diavolo chicken and absolutely loved every last bite. We had such a great time we’re already planning on visiting them for brunch! Highly recommended and looking forward to our next visit.

    We were having a vacation/anniversary trip and we decided to have dinner here for our first night. The ambience was beautiful and perfect for people watching. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and the hostess made sure our table was ready before seating us. The food was amazing with full of flavor. The crab cake was to die for, pure crab and not the breadcrumb fillers. The manager, Liam, help out with my proposal to the person I love. It was an overall magical evening.

    We went to celebrate the birthday of two attendees and had a great overall experience. We felt they rolled out the red carpet from the Valets, Greeters, Restaurant hosts and manager. However, we have to give special thanks to our waitress, Tori who provided exceptional service to include taking group photos. Lastly, the food presentation was incredible and was super delicious. I am definitely recommending this restaurant to family and friends.

    We (my husband and I and our two older children) had a great evening at the Pembroke. The menu has some variety steak, fish, pasta. The pan seared halibut was the favorite of the table on a bed of puréed sunchokes, which we rarely find and is a favorite of ours. Nice ambience and staff was very friendly and made you feel taken care of.

    I went for brunch and had a great time at the Pembroke. I had the French toast which had the perfect texture, not overly sweet, and was surprisingly filling. My friend had the chicken and waffles and she liked it. Our staff (and the entire staff tbh) were Uber friendly. We had genuine, warm interactions with every staff that came to check on us. The service was impeccable and all the recommendations by our waiter tasted amazing. The cocktail menu is limited but they have a vast collection of premium liquor and can make a drink on request. Ambience is a 10. Chic and cozy. Will visit again!
