Excellent as always! Whenever we are in DC this is a must stop. Ross was an amazing waiter and made sure we had everything we needed. He also made some spot on recommendations. We took advantage of the Octoberfest offerings which were so good!!! We will be back!

Food was absolutely amazing, especially the doro wat, which was just as delicious as was promised. Appetizers were a little bland, but we present as pale white people, so maybe they thought we could not handle the heat. Similar for the drinks. Service was good. Noise levels were perfect.

This place was so good! Went for my birthday with my parents did the family style menu and it was a great experience. Chef also sent out a lot of extra small bites from the kitchen that were good. Our favorites were the grilled oysters, daily focaccia, branzino, and the chocolate budino.

    A must visit when in DC. The staff upon entering sets the tone for a special dining experience. Surrounded by history and art our server, Jenny was yet another gift given by Old Ebbitt Grill. Her warmth, skill and attentiveness are top tier. We enjoyed a little bit of everything and highly recommend: oysters, crab cake, fried oyster deviled eggs, burnt broccoli, zucchini. Thank you Jenny and thank you Old Ebbitt Grill

    I was blown away by the superb service. The waitress was engaging, made solid suggestions- hush puppies, avocado toast, chicken sandwich, pear crumble. The food was yummy. Quaint and comfortable restaurant. Conveniently located. A great place to stop for lunch!
