- PPeterLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWent on a lunch date with my wife and this was our first time at The Pembroke. The ambiance was fantastic. The service was second to none! We received customer service during our lunch that barely exists these days. They treated us as long time valued customers. The food, while on the expensive side, was phenomenal. We will be back again.More infoThe PembrokePrice: Expensive• Global, International• Dupont Circle•4.6

The main course and sides were buffet. Choice of turkey, salmon, lamb, and/or ham. Dozen side dishes. Something for all tastes. Loved the warm rolls. Plenty of street parking on Christmas but not regular work days.. Our second Christmas here. Plan to return next Christmas.
