    Fantastic New Year’s Eve dinner! I am sad to see Washington Platform close. I have always had great service, food, drinks and ambiance.

    My husband and I love this restaurant. So sorry to hear they are closing. We have eaten here since the late 1990s. It's one of our favorite restaurants

    So sad that Washington Platform is closing for good tomorrow. Thoroughly enjoyed my last meal there. It was extra difficult deciding what to eat for my final meal because everything there is wonderful.

    We have long cherished Washington Platform for the wonderful seafood festivals through the years in our Midwest city. It will be sorely missed.

    We we're there for the special Feast of the 7 fishes. While the service wasn't great and the food from the buffet was cold, the atmosphere, the band and the selection was nice. Just not quite sure it was worth the $60 per person price.
