Old Ebbitt Grill is always solid. Service is usually solid (as compared to most DC proper restaurants) and the food is always great. Their raw bar is incredible (be sure to visit during oyster HH, everyday 3pm-6pm), the mix drinks are always tasty, and their menu/selection is always rotating and improving. Their management is clearly receptive to metrics and I appreciate this restaurant.

Great location for a special occasion or even just a regular meal. Service was outstanding and the food exceeding expectations. The Cauliflower steak is absolutely amazing! The Crabcakes are outstanding as well. The location is ideal. We booked our group as two separate parties - teens at one table and adults at the other. When the hostess realized this, she asked if we would like to be seated near each other and then made it happen. This was greatly appreciated!

Great service. Great food and drinks. Make sure you look up when looking for the entrance. I think we took two laps around the block before seeing the entrance.
