    Edgar provides an attractive, quiet environment that facilitates conversation while you're having a delicious lunch. The menu is short and straight forward but everyone on it is cooked to perfection.

    Nice ambiance. Great server and overall experience. One hiccup was receiving my entree with cheese on the fries when expressly asked for none, confirmed okay by server and then arrived with Parmesan. Immediately fixed but when spending over $150 for 2, it was a bit disappointing. Would still recommend.

    Our experience was amazing because our waiter was the best! I wish I could remember his name! We stayed at the mayflower for a college reunion! Thankfully he was great because our experience at the bar the night before was full of rudeness! We were skeptical to go back!

    Absolutely outstanding food, drinks and SERVICE! They were beyond accommodating of our many special circumstances and needs. Kudos to all of their staff because they went above and beyond to make a special experience for us, and on New Year’s Eve when things were chaotic for them no less! Margaritas were well made, and I’m picky. Ravioli was so good, as was risotto. Edgar salad was also delicious. We have been before and will obviously be back! Thank you!!

    Rushed service 40 minutes before the "kitchen closed". Insisted on taking our lunch order before offering any drinks. The crispy chicken burger was smothered in a gross bbq sauce. We're expecting a festive and enjoyable lunch, though left feeling very disappointed after the bad service and terrible food. We should have realized when the restaurant was so empty and should have gone elsewhere. Lots of other great options around. Don't bother wasting your time or money here.

    Absolutely awful! The service has always been slow, but this was unexpectedly BAD. Initially ignored for a basic greeting and water or coffee, after 30 min. we finally received our breakfast. Stone COLD.

    Reservation for 630. We arrived at 625 and were seated. Me and my 10 yo were given two cocktail menus and one food which we laughed and were given two menus and ordered a coke and sprite which got quickly. We sat for forty minutes unspoken to and no one even passed our table during that time. We went next door and ate right away.

    This is an unusually good restaurant for a hotel. Out of 10 meals during our 5-day visit to DC, we ate 4 at Edgar and were pleased we could enjoy our own hotel's restaurant enough to frequent it. The menu is limited, but everything we had was very good. The clam chowder is truly exceptional.

    I loved the ambience! Classy bar, great lighting and has cozy little nooks to enhance the happy hour experience. The service was decent. I did receive the wrong food order but they were very accommodating when I informed them of the mistake. It wasn't a big deal. They fixed it alright with the delicious food and drinks. I'll be coming back again!
