About this restaurant

Good for groups
Great for brunch
Neighborhood gem

Gatsby is a reimagined American diner by KNEAD Hospitality + Design. With favorites like the famous monte cristo sandwich, fried chicken or today's blue plate special, Gatsby brings you back to the days of the diner, but from a fresh perspective. Whether you crave breakfast at any time of day or a smashburger & a milkshake, Gatsby is the perfect place. Located at the corner of Half and N Streets, directly in front of Nats Park's Centerfield Gate, and overlooking the ballpark from our second floor dining room, Gatsby is the perfect pre/post game venue from which to celebrate.

The service was quick, good and consistent. Unfortunately it was way too loud. It made it difficult for my friends and I to hear each other and our server had a difficult time hearing us as well. The food was okay. Not great. And it felt like it was overpriced for the amount and the flavor. Everything seemed under seasoned.

Difficult to find restaurants that would accommodate 10 people but we found it in Gatsby. I was intrigued by the decor as I love anything relating to the 1920’s, and Gatsby did not disappoint! Service was good and everyone able to order what they wanted. Several of us even decided to split different dishes, so was fun to try new things. We thank Gatsby for their accommodations, delicious food and reasonable prices. 😃

The food was superb, as usual! For the first time, I tried the Lobster and Shrimp Scampi. The dish was beautifully presented and was so full of seafood that I thought I may not be able to finish it, but it was too delicious not to finish! I always order the Fried Onion Rings, which are the best I have ever had.. Will be returning soon....

It was really noisy. Hard to hear ourselves speak at our own table. Upstairs is an echo chamber.

We made a reservation for 2 pm and weren’t seated for an hour. We ultimately ended up eating at the bar.

Had brunch at Gatsby’s and everything was AMAZING. I love that there were multiple beverages to choose from for the bottomless drinks. The food was amazing, and the service was truly top tier. I can’t wait to go back to DC just to have the food again. Shout out to Jojo for his extra special treatment and the “Wow” treat.
