This was probably the best experience I’ve had at Old Ebbitt Grill. We got seated in the bar area, which was warm and comforting on a cold, snowy night. Our waiter was awesome…incredible competent with just the right amount of sass. The food was amazing…everything we ate was delicious. And the company was wonderful. I can’t wait for others to come into town to take them here.

Saturday evening at Centrolina was an awesome experience. The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious. My wife's first time having squab and it was a real treat. The white bolognese was creative and extremely tasty. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed. Definitely a place I would take family visiting from out of town for an upscale dinner.
