Best Restaurants for Groups in Fredericksburg

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.

I can say a lot of things about my visit to Orofino but I think I will summarize it like this. I've been fortunate enough to dine in Italy and, on the first bite I took at Orofino, I told my wife that this was the best Italian meal I had ever had outside of Italy, anywhere in the world. We had the lobster ravioli, and a pizza tre porcellini.

Every aspect of dinner was fabulous!! The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and made some wonderful suggestions! The old fashions were amazing. We had the salmon, wagyu steak, sirloin and scallops. Everything was wonderful, ambiance was perfect, lighting was low but focused to be able to see the menu, we could talk easily with the house level. All staff were very service and customer first oriented and everyone worked as a team! Fabulous!!

Love this place. Food is great however, since they started doing take out service the table service has become slow. Our waitress was awesome but food took a bit long.

We had a reservation at 6 pm but were not seated and had to ask about when we would be seated. (30 minutes) We were waiting at the bar which I had told the hostess. It appears we were forgotten . We then were taken to our table.
