Our restaurants have been operating with extraordinary increases in the cost of doing business. High inflation, rising wages, and supply chain challenges have continued beyond the pandemic creating a difficult operating environment. We have reluctantly chosen to implement a separate 3.75% fee or 2023 with the hope that it can be eliminated in the future as conditions improve. We appreciate your support and understanding.

I didn’t eating in the building outside the restaurant. It felt like a cheap hotel restaurant. Would have preferred to be seated in restaurant.

Like to come there when in DC. Great food, great service, historic restaurant in a great location. The service charge is a bit cheap/silly. We enjoyed the lunch and plan to be back!

Chose Old Ebbitt for the ambience and were disappointed to be seated in the atrium of the adjoining office building. This space lacked character and the faux plants were dusty and gross. Took away from our celebratory meal.

This summer menu was disappointing. I dine here regularly, but the quality of food this time was lacking. The waitress was notably disturbed by my guest. I understood the challenge as this was a mentee who I was looking to expose to different experiences, but it was sad to see the way the waitress treated her.

We enjoyed everything fantastically. I lead a group of 16 to the Capitol for four nights and three days. Dinner at Old Ebbitt Grill was a highlight. We loved everything about it from start to finish. We particularly enjoyed our waitress, Remi. She was a doll and we made her part of our group.

Ordered the steak salad. Dull knife with fatty, hard to cut steak was almost a choking hazard. Be mindful.

We had an 11:00am reservation, but arrived 10 minutes early. The 2 hostesses said we needed to choose between the breakfast menu (ending at 11:00am) and the lunch menu (starting at 11:00am) before they would seat us. We weren't sure which we wanted, but had to review menus at the hostess stand and make a quick decision just because they didn't give us the option to sit and look at the menus in depth at the table. It felt rushed and impersonal. We opted for breakfast and the food was fine, but nothing to write home about. We've been told by numerous friends and family how delicious the food is at Old Ebbitt and how much we definitely need to dine here. Ultimately, we weren't all that impressed with the experience. Perhaps the lunch food options would have been better, but we were forced to choose between one or the other; and the forced choice itself was a turnoff.

Nice historical restaurant. Great ambiance. However, we had to send back our dishes. Plates and glasses were dirty one glass had a crack from top to bottom. Plates had what looked like dried cocktail sauce on them. Hard to believe whoever set the table missed it. The waitress seemed impatient. The waffle was great but the chicken lacked flavor. The oysters Rockefeller and eggs Benedict were good. The caviar was excellent. We were there for brunch.
