A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

My experience at Ruth Chris was absolutely amazing. After we got seated, it took almost 45 minutes to put our order in due to how busy it was at the time. We were celebrating our birthdays so we became a bit frustrated but our server Evelyn made it right! She was extremely apologetic though it was something out of her control, super kind and professional. Ended up giving us our first round of drinks on the house along with a glass of Prosecco. She then provided us with shots for our birthday and offered to take our pictures which she excelled at as well. The food was 10/10. I got the stuffed chicken, Mac& cheese and creamed spinach! Soooo good! Will be back!

A wonderful Christmas dinner here. Food was plentiful and well prepared. Starter and dessert served by waiter. 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. Also I have eaten here on other occasions and food is uniformly good.
