Restaurants near United States Naval Observatory

Just coming back from Paris, my husband and I decided we would organize his birthday dinner here as a loving nod to a wonderful experience abroad. The food was delicious and so very well presented. The wine was impeccable and cocktails were perfect. The ambiance, especially around the holidays, is unmatched. I will say it was surprisingly busy for a late evening dinner on a Tuesday and I think that made wait times for items longer than ideal. That being said, it was a top notch experience and we will be back!

Super Restaraunt. Very good atmosphere, friendly wait staff, very good price point. Reservations are highly recommended as this is a local go-to. There are four bars in the restaurant, one in each corner. So, while this is a white linen dining experience, you must not think of it as posh or fine dining given the tavern extraordinaire atmosphere. It obviously has the DC charm of “Cheers” sans Norm and Sam, with a kicked up level regarding the dining. Very tasty meal, great selection of cuisine. I highly recommend OEG.

Filomena is a long time favorite! I am lucky enough to have come here in the late 80’s and will continue to come back again and again!

Excellent food and service. The ambience wasn’t wonderful, but that was expected for a taller.

This was phenomenal, my wife and I had to stay in town for thanksgiving and needed a pick me up the day before. This did not disappoint, reminded me of eating my Spanish grandmothers food. Paella was phenomenal, I am so glad we opted for the Premium Prawn Rice, it was very umami and so authentic. It was an absolutely beautiful experience, the food was delicious and beautiful, very thoughtful portions, we left full but not overly stuffed. The staff was polite, professional and funny. We will absolutely return and strongly recommend.
