    I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

    Victoria does not disappoint. Nothing fancy - just good food prepared well. Our waiter, a former chef, was exceptional. He knew the menu, made strong recommendations, and was attentive throughout the meal. You can’t go to Victoria without getting the duck fat fries. I was a little hesitant to sit out on the patio, but the area was warm and a bit less noisy than the rest of the restaurant. Since, we have moved, we don’t get to Victoria as much as we did in the past. However, when we make the trip, we can be assured of consistently good food and excellent service.

    Another pleasurable experience at Glenwood's. Went for Valentine's Day. Our server, Michael, was outstanding. The food was delicious, as always. 16oz ribeye at medium rare was grilled to perfection. My wife had the prime rib. Both cuts of beef were outstanding. We also had the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert, which was delicious. We usually go with our regular, the key lime pie, which is also delicious, but opted for the cheesecake this time, as Michael recommended it as a "no brainer." Glad we did. Great recommendation by Michael! The entire dining experience was outstanding and was topped off with the restaurant giving my wife a single, long stem red rose for Valentine's Day.

    They have had since 1856 to perfect the art of service. They have not wasted a bit of that time. We had a server and he was fantastic. With that, the entire brigade worked as a fantastic machine and supported the goal of quick and perfect service for the guest. I have never had apps arrive so quickly at a restaurant before. I even threw another order in while ordering our main course and it was on the table 2 minutes later. The quality of the food is top notch as well. The roast beef sandwich had a bit of bite on it that was unexpected but definitely not unappreciated. As I was dinning with my 13 year old son tonight, I also appreciated the non alcoholic options on the drink menu. It was great to have a delicious option that wasn't a soda. Overall, this is a MUST for any visit to DC.
